Yeah - I can relate to your story about being used as an example.
The leaders at WW have this real Loosers & Winners mentality. If you are doing things the way they want - then you are a winner.

When I last went back, at the first weigh-in I told the leader that I had gained back the weight and more from last time.

She told me "Naughty boy!".

Gah! That annoyed me! Who did she think she was judging and demeaning me!

I really believe that they don't understand the nature of obesity and what calorie restriction can do to the metabolism!

I was not committing any 'immoral' act by gaining weight, I have a clear medical metabolism problem - as do all overweight people!
