It was making me physically sick. Single mom, work, meetings and when not at the meetings GUILT!!! a real energy zapper. Service too ..forgot that.
Not much time for shopping, cleaning, resting, I resent the entertainment talks.......who had the time?????
Seriously, I am glad to be off the treadmill.

That just about sums it up. I also wanted to add your own personal studying. If you are good dub Monday night you are going to be studying your watchtower. Wednesday night you study for the school and service meeting and they you have to fit studying for the book study. Friday night you need to go over the field service presentation.
And I forgot you have to find time to read the daily text and possibly read the whole Bible chapter and the watchtower article that its based on.
It's a treadmill that never allows you off.
Just thinking about it makes me choke.

I feel maybe 10% of JW's (and I'm being generous) follow the official lifestyle day in day out
I agree with you that there are very few jw's that truly follow to the letter.

Honesty
Jesus says in Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to me, all YOU who are toiling and loaded down, and I will refresh YOU . 29 Take my yoke upon YOU and learn from me, for I am mild-tempered and lowly in heart, and YOU will find refreshment for YOUR souls. 30 For my yoke is kindly and my load is light.?
Definitely not in JW Fantasy Land.
Do More Do More Do More.....
I'm so refreshed now that I have found the real Jesus. Serving and worshipping Him is so much more enjoyable than serving a publishing company and its minions. And I actually get in a lot more 'time' every month without having to report it to some janitor or window washer.
