    For anybody who attended the Service meeting this week (or will this week)

    Notice the guilt-fest article that mentions not working overtime at work or taking weekend trips and missing the meetings

    UGH, Any former witnesses remember looking down on people who went to the beach or took trips frequently on the weekends. Just curious...

    What always bugged the bejebus out of me was the fact I NEEDED to work overtime in order to provide for my family. WTF was I suppose to do?

    No, but I used to pretend I had lots of homework on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Unfortunately, that excuse didn't work on Sundays.

    Yeah, Sundays were always a treat....

    "Now, brother Farkfark from the Loser Congregation will give his talk entitled "Jehovah's Day vs Groundhog's Day - Which is Significant In This Time Of The End?"

    ...brother Farkfark enters the stage.....

    Farkfark: Jehov.....
    Me: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Oh yes! I especially liked the example of the young brother (un-named I believe) who forsook further education and a secular career to go and serve where the need is greater.

    I think he said something like 'I wish every young person would do something like this so they could feel as happy as I do'

    Zico, I had to avoid "Facecrime" with that one. Really annoying...

    Hmm, so if I understand correctly...

    You are condemned if you seek higher education so you can find a job that pays well enough so you don't have to work 80 hours per week...

    And you are condemned if you must work 80 hours per week because you don't have the education to get a job that pays a wage high enough to get by on fewer hours...

    Lesson learned from this week's KM: you're screwed no matter what you do!
