Thank you, Outlaw and Isaac.
I was one of those foolish ones who took off even though my boss said he needed me to work.
He told me that if I hadn't been such a good worker, he would have terminated me.
One dear, dear lady told me that she worried for me the entire four days.
Then, she ended up with lupus and dying for want of a transfusion!
I ache when I think of her.
What a religion, huh?

Irememer my sister was in high scool and the elders told my dad that even though final exams were going on Thurs and Fri my dad should insist that is is his relgious right and they would be required to give her make-up exams the following week. but my mom put her foot down and told my dad no way!
I didn't see it that way, then, Outlaw.
I thought I was pleasing "Jehovah."
Nevermind the fact that I was a divorced mother who was head of my household.
It was all about "proving my integrity."
Ha! Ha! Ha!

I actually remember leaving a convention with my parents and a self-righteous JW asked my dad where my sister was. My mom replied that she was taking her final exams. The lady said that her son also had final that week but came to the convention and was going to make them up next week. My mom told her you need a good reason to miss finals. The lady told my mom that the convention was a good reason.
Indeed, Isaac.
It used to appall me that JW's were so lackadaisical about education.
Now, that was something on which I absolutely refused to compromise.

Sylvia..
I know..No JW saw it that way..
Quit your job for an assembly and Jehovah would bless you..
He would`nt pay the rent or buy food..
But..
He would bless you..
I`m sure more than a few JW`s went on the the WBT$ "Jehovah Bless you Diet"..

Tell her to say hello to my daughter's in-laws... :)
I will, Changeling.
She used to be friends with a cute little girl from that congregation.
It petered out when my daughter enrolled in college.
