when the new elder "arrangement" was in its gestation period--i made an appointment to see the cong servant ( ex branch servant apparently )--it was a sunday morning--i was down to do the public talk that afternoon. I couldnt make head nor tale of the script. I told him i had decided to step back from all involvement--i really wasnt interested in it anymore. He told me he had me down to be one of the elders ! Spirit appointed--?
a while later--next year i think--i was invited to attend what transpired was a committee meeting--held at the hall. There were some laughable trumped up charges levelled against me--which proved unfounded--and the same cong servant ( elder now?) thanked me for coming--and said there were no further charges to answer. I then thanked him--and said from now on i was no longer brother s***** but to call me Mr--or my first name. I no longer wanted anything more to do with the cult. End of.
