As per your experience about the firefighter the watchtower social manipulation system is good at moving the goalposts. A similar situation occurred with me when I worked shift work as an orderly in a hospital. They had appointed me as a ministerial servant knowing I was a shift worker but a year or so later started putting the pressure on for me to quit my job.
An older elder I knew would miss meetings sometimes for his business from time to time and would actually carry a letter of resignation in his briefcase to call out the circuit overseer on his bullshit. When the co started questioning about it this old guy would open his case and hand him the letter of resignation and walk away. They never did remove him as an elder.
