Listen, I was alot like you. My parents gave me crayons during the meeting as a child. I slept in during service time.
I was a So-So in the congregation. I wasn't a Pioneer but I wasn't a once a year on Memorial.
However, it seems like you never got yourself into much in the congregation. You never made a career out of it. So you were not burned. I wasn't ever really burned my whole life by the elder's. I had nothing to complain about. I was like you saying "These People" are just whining on poor me crap. Then I wanted to get married to a Nice JW Boy! Boy did that turn into HELL. I made myself open for them.
You are not putting yourself as a Target. You do not have any standing. You just Drift along. Go and Get Married to the Nice JW Girl! Make it a Elder's daughter...that will be a real wake up call for you.
Well anyway...in time maybe you will Get It! Right now you don't. It took a beating for me to get it! I opened my eyes and I saw the Truth!
