Anybody here know Beth Johnson or Dennis McGee? They were both WoW's in Columbia Missouri when I took piffel

I left because I didn't trust the ministry leadership with my daughter. I was in the apprentice corps, and I was very unsettled about going in residence with my child. I didn't want to put myself and her in a position where someone else besides me had control over her life. What lead to my lack of trust? Probably a lack of love. Things would happen that made me question how much the leadership really loved the people. For example, I had to drive for about 45 minutes, sometimes in rush hour traffic, to get to the twig coordinator's meeting once a week. Sometimes I didn't gauge how long the trip would take just right. Once I arrived at the Branch Coordinator's house 15 or 20 minutes early, with my 4 year old in tow. They reproved me for being early and told me to find something else to do until the meeting started. They couldn't have invited me in and offered me coffee until the d*mn thing started could they?
