Am I wrong to feel this way

  I am supposed to love being with the brothers at the KH. I do not. I CAN NOT WAIT TO POST ON THIS BOARD. I PREFER THE INTELLECTUAL EMOTIONAL STIMULATION OF THE PEOPLE ON THIS BOARD.

  
  Stilla -- I haven't been to a meeting for over 20 years, but still remember how mind-numbing the last few years were at Kingdom Halls and assemblies. I used to fake illnessess to stay home and watch PPS programs on NOVA -- which were far more stimulating than anything at meetings. The only time I enjoyed some of the JWs was before and after meetings, but that became trying because you couldn't fully express yourself.
  
  I can't imagine attending meetings today, but if I did it might be fun to have a wireless connection and send quotes to this forum during meetings. :) I would need something like that to keep the brain alive.

  Are you wrong to feel this way?

  Exactly why would anyone come on this site and ask such a question?

  Guess we can all assume it is rhetorical.

  In any case, if you dislike attending the KH so much ... quit! If you don't get anything out of the meetings, I'm sure you aren't contributing much either.

  You are free to feel anyway you want. Isn't it wonderful that Jehovah gave us all free choice?

  Obviously your intellectual betters here haven't jumped in to pat you on the back yet ;)

  a friend in need -- "Obviously" you're not a friend in deed. I just love seeing how helpful followers of Jehovah (or is it followers of the Watchtowers) are to others. ;)

  JAVA .. you are wrong on two points. I AM a friend in deed. I AM a follower of Jehovah (not WTS).

  You did open my eyes to one good point though. I have no right to put down anyone. None of us do.

  a freind need,

  I AM a follower of Jehovah (not WTS).

  Wow, have you stopped attending WTS indoctrination sessions 5 times a week, and giving WTS book sales promotions.

  This is incredable.

  If you do not follow the WTS' orders and directives as through the "slave", you cannot be following Jehovah, AFIN.

  afin,

  So should a take it that you are still following the WTS understanding of the bible, and trying to convince others?

  steve .. see, you can speak with a civil tongue.

  If your veiled reference is that I should not be here if I am in fact a JW, I choose to be here.

  Nope, I don't care who posts here. I fact I welcome JDub's to post. I am suprised to see you again though. I thought you told us you weren't going to any more. How come the change of heart?
