"She said they had and promply pulled out all the "baby" literature (brochures/pamphlets) to start the discussion."
This is just ridiculous. She treated you like an complete idiod. Probably she was so incredibly stupid that she thought the "baby litterature" could help answering your doctrinal questions. In other case....maybe the elders believed that you neede some "basic indoctrination". Anyhow......those people don't seem to know a lot of psychology.
