My field service group leader wants to meet me

he kind of invited me to a barbecue or something, and asked if my parents wanted to come along as well.

it felt really awkard, i mean i am 20++.

i was sceptic, so he told me he would send me a sms about an other fitting day instead.i probably didnt look too happy about that either, so he told me that maybe he could invite some other in the group.

Update on the matter

He must have forgotten to call me or something. So nothing happened,and I am very happy about that.

So it was meant to be only me in the first place?? And then his wife came and talked about how little we talk to each other these days... Well I havent had much contact with those two at all. I guess the reason for his invitation is my absence from field service meetings.. and he is probably just zealous and want to know everyone in the group. But I dont want to go, absolutely not, dont know what I am gonna tlak about. Also I am not a very outgoing person in general, so it is going to absolutely awful....! I need to get an excuse or something, any advice?

They are not allowed to wear shorts or printed t-shirts .But hey its summer! Its gonna be warm! And the stadium is not even owned by WT. Where in the bible does it say its not allowed to wear shorts when cleaning? Plain stupidity in my opinion.

I want serious answers from WT leaders, possible?

what would happen if i would write a physical letter to, for example, the branch office.

and ask questions about scandals like the ngo thing and other stuff?

or ask questions about wtbs economy, or ask for a annual report, which is something i would really like to read.

Powermetal4ever

Thats is exaclty what I am feeling as well! Hope you manage to go through with the letter.

I'd like to have an impact on my family and friends. If it ends up going badly, at least I have my integrity.

Lets say I wrote down an anonymous e-mail adress in the letter, would I get an answer? And if I wrote my full name and which cong I belong to, then I probably would be in trouble huh? Anyone tried this? What happened? Could be a way out of the cult? A rough way perhaps, but at least an honest one.
