I was kind of lied to in my Bible study. But my congregation was made up of nice people. The elders were good at ducking and diving and brought studies in while dodging around the silly bits. I was booted out this year for sticking to the Bible and some of the others from my ex-congregation have come out/are in the process of leaving.
I had lots of calls but no one ever progressed and I'm not surprised. Regular calls liked having their Watchtowers delivered and a chat. Some people were in a mess and very chaotic. One sad young man I called on was an alcoholic. He'd lie on his bed, drinking cider and smoking cigarettes. He treasured the Bible his mother had given him and would speak fondly of the miracle of life and how amazing it was when his girlfriend's kittens were born.
Although we would try to read him bits from the Bible he never seemed to take it in or be able to remember what we spoke about. He was in a mental fog.
I had called on him for several months, then I saw the headline on the local newspaper. He had set the house on fire he was living in because he had fallen asleep with a cigarette in his hand. The people in the flat above him survived. But he did not.
