james73,

I know it hurts short term, but you didn't have a long and bright future as a ministry drone: you appear to be an intelligent person who at least tries to use his brain. So it was necessary medicine, both for you and for them.

Looking at it from their perspective, you probably already were on probationary status.

First, you were meeting (openly?) with others who belonged to that Great Satan, Mystery Babylon Christianity.

Second, you had opinions contrary to the Hive Mind and voiced them publicly in meetings.

So when it became apparent that you were posting less than salubrious things on a negative web site, that was all the due process they needed. You needed to be excised quickly, and hopefully quietly, to minimize potential collateral damage.

Once you understand "ministry uber alles" the ministry behavior is quite logical.
