Yes a little........ but according to the PO it was proof of my evilness to waste these end days being selfish.
When you were a Jehovah's Witness did you have time for personal things?

Virtually none. Before I became a witless, I could walk to play video games weekly (about 8 miles each way, which did control my weight plus give me a chance to go to the arcade). And I used to play computer games and work with music.
Once I started going out in field circus, that had to stop. The good blocks of time were usurped for field circus, leaving me with nothing more than the crumbs for personal needs. And it pretty much stayed that way--if I had a free day, it had to be spent in field circus or at a boasting session.

Precious little, what with responsibilities and book study at my house. I don't know how I could have managed it with a baby at the same time. The elders in our cong always had such harried, exhausted looks on their faces. Still I would play hooky some weekends to go boating and fishing.

Ditto!!
We would always go camping to escape the pressures and take a break. After a few weekends of this I remember talks being done from the platform regarding going on vacations, camping, hunting, etc.. They fed the guilt trip of neglecting meetings while you are doing such activities. Gimme a break! What more do these a$$holes expect? I know of many who went on cruises and there are no KH's on the ship...LOL
