"10 years ago, you were expected to DF a minor. You didn't agree with this, teenagers grow out of bad behaviour with patience and guidance,"
Don't blame the Governing body because elders just follow along. They need to stand up for what they believe and be their own people.
"As they make doctrinal changes, you realize you've been stressed by giving all these endless talks that consumed all your time, because all of that doesn't matter anymore."
It never meant anything other than what you made it mean.
"No more reporting hours. All that harassing publishers because of low hours,"
There's never been harassing publishers for low hours or not turning in time.
No one's harassed me and I stopped turning in time and going out more than 10 years ago.
"When you are tasked with enforcing the rules and the teachings, it hits you really hard when you realize that was all for nothing"
It's always been for nothing since there are no rules and teachings to enforce, other than what you want to enforce. It is all on you elders.
