I never became a witness. I only studied with them for about two years before I left. Anyway, as many of you know, they start new recruits off with the brochure "What Does God Require of Us?" The brochure essentially outlines their core beliefs, as well as dos and don'ts.
However, I already abstained from several of their donts, like smoking and gambling, yet the guy made me go through the lesson anyway. Did this annoy anybody else? Did they make you study lessons you already knew? What's the point of telling me not to smoke when I made up my mind a long time ago that I never would? It's like my beliefs aren't good enough. It's like I would do it anyway unless they told me not to.
It's too bad I didn't pick up on that red flag right away, or I could've saved myself some trouble.
