What was your JW Regimented Schedule?

  For us it was:

  MONDAY: Family Bible Study (This is when I would get yelled at for not reading the scriptures properly)

  TUESDAY: Meeting Night

  WEDNESDAY: I`m free

  THURSDAY: Bookstudy

  FRIDAY: Study the Watchtower with Quotes(This was an option but when we started doing it we were counseled by father Quotes when it wasn`t done)

  SATURDAY: Service ( While all the kids are playing outside I`m hiding behind fathers back trying not to be seen)

  SUNDAY: Service (Same as above) plus the Meeting

  So what does that leave a kid who is trying to grow up? Little time for homework no organized sport activities and no time to even get together with your JW friends let alone the kids on the street, a father who would once and a while not be there on a Wednesday because of a book study or an elders meeting!

  Man does that sound like a wall around your life ?

  Wow beans, our schedules were so similar we could be the same person (oh wait, we were all witness drones so I guess we all pretty much were)!

  The only difference I notice is that Monday night family study was more of a concept than an actual practice for our family. It was always an on-again-off-again thing.

  Well, as a child it was...

  MONDAY: Free

  TUESDAY: Bookstudy (for which I had to prepare)

  WEDNESDAY: Free

  THURSDAY: TMS & Service meeting (for which I had to prepare)

  FRIDAY: Family study for the Watchtower study on Sunday. Yeah, that's right. Friday night studying...our family really knew how to be fun.

  SATURDAY: Service, and family study if we missed it on Friday night.

  SUNDAY: Public talk, Watchtower study, and field service sometimes as well.

  NO FREE TIME!! at all..

  i finally found another corrupt young bro in the congregation, we both told everyone we were 

  auxilliary pioneering together that summer. we must've looked pretty strange in the video 

  arcades dressed in full suits, packing bb guns in our magazine bags.

  anyone else here have to suffer through the daily text every morning? 

  go to all meetings and even door to door on family vacations??

  Monday - prepare for school, service mtg parts

  Tuesday - theo school/service meeting

  Wednesday - service in the evening, or prepare for bookstudy

  Thursday - book study

  Friday - free, or prepare presentation for service

  Saturday - service and prestudy WT

  Sunday - study WT if hadn't done on Saturday, attend public talk, WT study

  Add to this for the years we had the piano in the Hall, hours of practicing piano for the Tuesday and Sunday meetings. This was the part I really enjoyed. Lost a part of me when they went to canned music!

  I delight in my Sunday mornings now. I love the fact that I don't have to rush away from work in a hurry and can have leisurely dinners on Tuesday and Thursdays. And I can volunteer for some community help things and not be prohibited by meeting attendance.
