Whats the deal with elders and sister encouraging you to find a capable sister for marriage? as a single brother

Literally everyone in the congregation was trying to hook me up on a dating thing where the elders or ministerial servant goes to other congregation if one of them was invited to do a public talk. And always suggest that I should come with them so i get to know more about other sister and possibly marriage. It gotten so bad every week I was getting message from them or I'm getting recommended to sister I haven't meet or barely know. I already talked it about them to stop that and threaten if this goes on ill report and write a letter to the co. I mean every brother in my congregation does that but I don't. I'm at my last straw rn to confront them once it for all and threaten them badly

What privileges you guys do at meetings to kill time

Ever since I was baptized and still a PIMI, I was assigned to the audio/video role thing. During meetings, all I did was publish the Zoom link and password and project pictures onto the TV during talks lol. No one could really bother or question what I was doing behind the monitor since it was kind of viewed in my congregation as one of the more serious tasks or roles a guy could have, and it gave me some credibility. I was playing many games on my phone during those wholeass times and they also give me money if an upgrade or replacement was necessary which I always put in my pocket the rest or just straight up give it to the poor sister or brother who's struggling financially lol how about you guys

I don't want to be with a specific elder. Who uses my name on reporting other people when I clearly don't know anything or have anything to do about it, although it's still just a rumor having a 175 publisher in one congregation is pretty high here. Making specific requests to be not with someone is allowed?
