    I would probably be Stage 3, only because I am always driving by the KH and when there are cars there, I remeber that there is a meeting.

    I'm with Homerovah...stage 5...I don't even think of meetings (or as my non-JW wife refers to them as, "tax seminars"!!)

    My stages were a little different:

    1. Going to the meetings and leaving at their end.

    2. Going to the meetings and wishing they would end.

    3. Going to the meetings and leaving before their end.

    4. Ending going to meetings.

    5. Giving up waiting for "the end."

    6. Accepting that we will all die in the end.

    The End...

    Elders in my congregation gave me 2 weeks ago a helpful hand in my move to reduce even more meeting attendance, since they told the congregation that my comments at the WT and in private conversations don't conform to the line and urged JWs to mark me. The result is that I now wonder what on earth I have in common with that bunch of fanatics. Lots of thanks to them.
