I was informed by my JW father tonight that the reason I don't go to meetings is because "of a guilty conscious". I just done an eye roll and walked away. I just can't make this stuff up.
Another enlightening reason why I don't go to meetings

I've heard that one before too. And recently it's because of my hormones. Lol

A better approach by him would be to simply ask you why you don't go. Nice to have an old fashioned father/son chat, without any presumptiousness or judging.....Putting JW stuff aside, he could try and see your perspective on things....and agree to differ .

I was told that I was 'spiritually weak™'. What a stupid expression!

There is no other response possible without getting into pointless circular arguments.
Jobots simply do not want to face the fact that one doesn't go to their cult show for some logical reason.....a reason they're afraid to contemplate for fear they'll leave too.

I love when Elders or the WT state that - "god will not let anyone totter", or that "god will not let anyone be tempted beyond what they can stand."
If that were true, people would not leave the Org, or stop going to meetings, or get DF'ed...
So you would not ever need to have a "guilty conscience, or your hormones get the best of you, and you would never get "spiritually weak."

Interesting. That's the same reason they gave me for my depression. They wanted me to confess to something as antidepressant.

Wake Me Up Before You Jo-Ho
If that were said to me, I would have said, "I suppose that's an easier reason for your mind to digest than the actual truth of why I no longer attend."
