    What were your excuses for not going to the meetings?

    Ours were the usual ones, boredom, illness or weather, yepp even the tiny snow flurries were a good excuse to stay home. *heehee*

    MOLDY & DAMP? Yeah.....most of them were with no windows for proper ventilation. We couldn't even have real live flowers for the decor. So much for a paradise atmosphere. *heehee* Alot of people suffered from allergies as a result as well.

    I told an elder lately that my family and I are turning towards a dominical worshipping practice, as if we were going to church.

    I was very happy in 1976, after Armegedon to have to take a job working afternoons to support my family in the new order and not being able to attend the meetings.

    I used all the standard excuses - sick, tired, working late, etc. My ex usually thought I was full of crap. Then one day she asked me if I was going to the meeting and I said, "I can't be bothered". For the first time she had no comeback.
