There were so many disconfirmations and discouraging experiences with the Witness people it was impossible for me to want to go to the effort of associating with them. I had one Witnesses pioneer walk up to me at meetings and extend his hand like he was going to shake my hand and instead of shaking my hand he flipped my shirt collar out of my shirt and said, "Where's your tie?", and then just walk away.
Two attendants working for Duane Matz at a district assembly in Bismarck North Dakota belly pushed me and my 3 year old son away from a working stocked vending machine with a "Out Of Order" hand lettered sign taped over it.
Dwight Harsh in Sioux Falls South Dakota East Unit called me into a back room and told me I needed to wear a neck tie to group meetings or I could not be microphone boy.
At a district assembly in Sioux Falls, South Dakota in the old Coliseum talked about the failure of 1975 and he said, "Brothers, if you heard it you did not hear it here!".
A Witness going door to door from the West Unit in Sioux Falls, South Dakota by the name of Seubert, called on a man I worked with and told him I was a bad Witness.
The Witness people made it easy to not want to associate with them any more. They were mean and condescending. The absolute failure of every single thing they ever told me in my entire life made it impossible to believe anything they said or wrote. I have found their dishonesty level when dealing with their failures appalling. I'm ashamed to ever have been associated with them.
