The brother sitting next to me was shocked and initially tried to hold me down.
After that during one training they had me stay with the two Salassi brothers (elders in Houston) and an Elder during one of the Anaheim trainings. Whenever I tried to speak in fellowship one of the Salassi brothers would tell me to shut up. It was a miserable ten days and I felt like an idiot paying both in money and time for this experience. But again, the Lord used that because I learned a valuable lesson that I used later and was a great comfort to me. After that I went to Irving when they went to build the meeting hall and was full time for 18 months. After that I moved to Odessa to help raise up the church there, GW was sent out to deal with me, but after the training I had received I knew how to stand up to him and he felt the Lord's wrath. After that I was in the Full time training in Taipei and stayed in Taipei from 1987 to 1995 and was training trainees that went to Russia. After that I returned to NY. So no, I was not excommunicated and it was 20 years after that that I left.

After all you have done for them, working selflessly for two decades, receiving only backstabbing in return, normal folks might think that they would put your name on an appreciative wall plaque or give you a lifetime gift certificate to McDonald's.
Instead, they ran out of places where they could send you.
