"There are only three reasons you should miss a meeting. The three F's. Fever, Fracture or Funeral. Everything else is a sorry excuse. "
Ever hear that one?
Yes, I have heard that one and many more.
Is it any wonder that Witnesses also sell Shaklee, Avon, etc.? If you've ever been to one of those types of meetings (especially Shaklee!) you know what I am talking about. It's all just a sales pitch, and they keep recycling the same tired sayings.
"Kept men" tend to be naive to reality.
ex. Paul, the single childless traveler, whined a lot about his hardships, whereas Peter, the family guy, not so much.
My 3 F's ... Just Kidding dixit
And what about FIENDSHIP ( I mean a real one, not a WT fabricated one !)
"Fiend" indeed albatros.....
That is what the Kingdom Halls are full of!
Our last CO spoke about meeting attendence in his last visit. He said something in this effect that we should not use holidays as an excuse to not go to meetings. That means, that we should check before we visit a country, if we could go to meetings there. And again, the only excuse to miss a meeting would be sickness. His excuse was, that if we missed a meeting and then Armageddon comes and we are banned, we wouldnt know where our next meeting would be.
Now my wife got scared, we wanted to go a remote place again and now she wants to make sure that we can go to meetings there.
