Hi y'all!
Today, like many days, well, usually once or twice weekly, I'm missing yet another meeting; it's the 'book study' meeting.
Just don't feel like hearing the same crap. The book (Isaiah's prophecy) we're studying now is so redundant and boring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plus, I saw all the people I care for over the weekend, so I really don't need to have another doses of their love just yet.
Sound familiar to anyone?!
Take care!
good for you !! relax and enjoy your time. can I pour you a drink?
Missing a meeting? Don't look at me I KNOW I didn't take it.
You think it's great now, missing one meeting a week.........wait til you miss 'em all!
Well......glad you found time to post us instead....its much more interesting than the book study, true?
Well, I wouldn't really say I'm missing them.

ha ha ... I can remember skipping Sunday meetings (amazingly, some of the same excuses for getting off school worked for meetings too!)
I used to watch sunday morning TV ... little house on the prairie & the waltons would you believe . Funny thing is, they probably contained better morals and instruction for 'life' than hours of the watchtower ever did.
Wait till you stop going altogether.You`ll never miss another meeting again..I know I have`nt,LOL!!...OUTLAW

Thats how it started for me as well.... like everyone has said though... wait till you miss them all. In fact, try skipping 2 whole weeks. Bet ya never go back.
I sure do remember that phase. I started to come up with legitimate reasons to miss some of my meetings. Such as getting in home late from work. Sometimes I would walk home from my job which was over ten miles from my house. I lost a lot of weight when I starting doing that. That is how bogged down I felt about wanting or being made to feel like I had to attend the many boring meetings.
Although, I am a member of another church and there are meeting that I attend, I have never felt more free in my entire life. I now serve God because I want to not because I am afraid of what the elders might think.
peace
