I came in in 1992. I knew the Bible well, asked in-depth questions in my study. Had x2 elders attend my study and got serious issues I identified blagged away by them. So in a way I was lied to, or dealt with in a crafty manner.
Not imagining anyone professing to be Christian would act so badly, I put certain dumb teachings (which I felt were not deal breakers) on the back burner but never went along with them.
People were kind to me which I deeply appreciated and some were definately Christians, others were having a laugh.
Doing talks was very easy for me. The brothers were sad that I wasn't a man because they would have loved to have made me an elder. I was SO glad I wasn't a man. Maybe if I had been a man I would have left a lot earlier because I would have seen what went on behind the scenes. But I didn't and in that way I remained ignorant on some matters.
I was always willing to do stand-in talks and in 2005, I discovered a deal-breaking teaching which had not been covered in my Bible study. I immediately took this matter up with the elders, one of whom had sat in on my study. It was acknowledged that I had a point but I was told that it was not up to me to correct doctrine. I had to 'wait on Jehovah'. Which basically meant, keep your mouth shut and wait on the GB. I did point out the mistake was not with Jehovah who had nothing to correct and it was up to the GB to correct. Meantime I'd stick with what the Bible said. For this I got thrown out in summer this year (2019).
Here's my video about it. And Brother 50% occasionally sat in on my Bible study.
