Oh my goodness, does the Hall need cleaning? I'll be right there with my vacuum....
Weeds need to be pulled at the assembly hall an hour away but it's 100 degrees in the Texas sun? May I please?
Someone needs a ride but I have to go ten miles to get them? Well, that's what our four door cars are for....
Must make dinner for brother sick...
Have to find a ride home because elder husband must stay at the hall until wee hours of the morning...
Oh yes, please use our home for the book study.....

Tired of the Hypocrisy
I was "considered" to be a good one. I led a secret life filled with porn magazines and rented videos that would rival Charlie Sheen.

Absolutely yes. Up until the last bit when we started fading. Always regular at meetings, field service, aux pioneered from time to time. Elder's wife. Gave impromtu stand in talks. Generous to those in need. Well known for my hospitality. Made meals for the sick. Visited those in hospital. on and on and on the list goes - really thought I was doing the right thing. What a fool I was - so much of my life wasted. Then when things unravelled a bit and I needed help because of illness with parents and in-laws, hubby sick etc no one wants to know me because I wasn't as "Good" anymore!

Kinda. Then, I never pretended to be someone I was not. [Who needs all that false pretense and sneaking around?]
They always seemed like they were scared of me.
