after several months of leaving the meetings as soon as they ended or only staying for "the first meeting" then leaving the "second part", the elders finally cornered me at last night's meeting.. they said they were concerned about me and that being that i am a young brother in a recently divided congregation they saw so much potential in me to help out the congregation and become a ms.. i told them i was thankful for their thinking of me to help the congregation but that at the moment i could not due to my job.

then the began asking personal questions that got on my nerves.. they asked where i worked and how much i made.

they asked if i was going to college and what i was studying and for how long.

I have to put my comment on here. I also had an encounter with the Elders - and they didn't tell me I wasn't allowed to participate in meetings, afterwards so I was somewhat ticked off. I was a studying person and wasn't baptised in the religion. My ex husband who I was with at that time forced me to terminate a pregnacy - but it was my fault - I had no family to go to - they are polite when they are at the door ....
