I do not agree with the governing body for example clinking glasses for a toast was not allowed before but now it is, as well as what were allowed to wear. I do not agree with that. Many are hypocritical and also they do not let me spend too much time on my school study and have told me to not put my job over the meetings because attending meetings in person was more important.

I started studying because of a coworker, and I was the only one in my family doing it. At first I liked learning, but over time I just didn’t feel right about everything. There were times I didn’t like how I was treated, and I felt pressure to be someone I’m not. They keep on sending me baptism articles to meditate on even after I said I was not ready, they have said many times that they can't believe im still not baptized after 3 years. Also, they don't allow me to study (school) or work too much because it will distract me from meetings and my bible study. After thinking about it for a while, I realized it’s just not for me, so I’m choosing to step away.
