  The Beatles said it best.

  This goes along with "MomCrazy" thread on Saturdays Mornings....enjoying life and a cup...of Coffee.

  Enjoying Saturdays morning instead of dreading them....Getting up and geting the kids ready for Feild Service....Yea!...You know they loved that...it was like hearding cats!

  If anyone said they enjoy going out house to house with their poor kids......they were nuts. No one in there right mind can say they enjoyed peddling religion from door to door....with small children.

  Most normal people liked it about has much a the poor people we meet at the doors (some of which we woke up with our "Awake " magazines .....We thought that was funny...We were the joke!

  The only part the kids liked, was the 15 mins, coffee brakes .....that turned into 45....and the truth of the matter was....me too.

  When I think about all those wasted Saturdays....1,000s of wasted hours...

  All I can think of is Richard Dryfess quote in the movie "Always"....

  "Whoa....What a Jerk I turned out to be!"

  Great Thread...."MomCrazy"....have another cup of coffee and smile...

  Hello, new boy.

  Did you still find a nagging feeling that you needed to be going somewhere, even months or years after you left?

  It's been three years for me despite still technicaly being on the inside so much for them checking time to make sure it is correct

  Since I knew for 10 years before I left....it was BS....I was done with the Guilt...never felt bad in fact at the end of it I would go to the doors myself and not ring the bells...

  Then I think of my Nazis JW mother who would make us go out if our temperture was under 100 degrees.....

  Then there are the Sunday mornings that I no longer have to worry about getting ready for those boasting sessions. Those things were a burden either way--those who worked Saturday night or have to work Sunday evening know that. I used to hate going to the boasting session knowing I would be very tired that night at work.

  I haven't been to a meeting since this year's Special Talk and I suppose I am officially inactive since I haven't reported any field service time in over six months.

  I feel GREAT knowing that I don't have to do any of this BS. No guilt. It's all a crock. Liberating is the feeling of making your own destiny. I think my friends still

  in envy me, though they do it secretly.

  Bottoms up!
