So, what's stopping you from going to the hall?

    What stops me? The utter belief that the JW's are a false religion. And even if I didn't believe that .. pride would prevent me from going back. I'd rather die standing and burn in hell for it ... than to live my life crawling and begging with those people.

    "BECAUSE YOU WON'T ALLOW ANY WOMAN TO HAVE BALLS. I HAVE BALLS."

    Then I'd say:

    "BELIEVE ME, YOU DON'T WANT ME TO COME TO YOUR KINGDOM HALL"

    Or, maybe I'd say:

    "CUZ I DON'T KISS ASSES ANYMORE"

    (hope no one is offended)

    I have a terrible habit of freebasing and this has prevented me from hearing the refreshing news of Jehovah God's kingdom at the hall.

    • If they would have some reasonable explanations ...
    • We are labeled "dangerous" and don't want to ...
      *** Rbi8 Matthew 18:6 ***
      6 But whoever stumbles one of these little ones who put faith in me, it is more beneficial for him to have hung around his neck a millstone such as is turned by an ass and to be sunk in the wide, open sea.

    Oooops ... i guess it doesn't fit this time!

    What stops me? well first thing if I really went to my own cong, the elders would have me in the back in a second and take steps to df me for sure..

    but my reasons for not going in the first place is lack of love.. lack of understanding..

    and they have never called once to see why I wasn't attending.. they don't care sh*t for me.. so there is no reason to be there..

    Now to get serious we all know it is not up to us to NOT go to the meetings. In the WT december 1st they discuss three points to show our appreciation. One point is "giving the tenth"

    ***Rbi8 Leviticus 27:30 ***
    30 "?And every tenth part of the land, out of the seed of the land and the fruit of the tree, belongs to Jehovah. It is something holy to Jehovah.

    And we clearly see every israelite has to give it. Now of course there is a direct link into modern time. Christians are obliged to participate in preaching and meetings.

    But wait ... i'm not of the anointed-class ... i am no spiritual israelite ... i don't need to preach or go to meetings!
