I especially love seeing the witnits walking up our neighbours path on a sunday to meet there for field service, whilst i'm still in my jimjams cooking the boys pancakes instead of dragging them out in all weathers to be bored stiff!

I remember once when i had a judicial and they decided i was sorry enough not to be kicked out (shame) they said they were going to take away my 'priveleges' - no answering at meetings or getting on the platform at minsistry school - now that was my idea of heaven. I felt like i'd been rewarded for being bad not punished lol.

Yep me too, in my early days of marriage i'd start an argument with hubby so i could stay at home and get out of going! If i didn't start feeling breathless and trapped outside the hall i felt like it as soon as i walked in. I used to get constant aches and pains on meeting days and rarely get them since i've left!
Lady Lee i was like that, once i had my little one i was glad to be able to escape to the second hall. I was left alone in there except for when they had the circuit overseer visit and they'd try to persuade me back in just to swell the numbers up. There was a few others who used to have to take their rescue remedy to get thru the meetings, can't believe i used to put myself through it all!! Never feel like that now, like a weight's gone from my shoulders.

No i'm glad i found out, my only regret is joining it in the first place, but then i wouldn't have got married and had the 3 lovely children i've got so can't regret that side of it! I feel for those who, as someone mentioned, are out of it mentally but not physically. Just going to meetings and having constant doubts was hard enough for me, it was be so difficult for them.x

Purps you are such a lovely person. I know wat you mean, i don't usually admit it as my stepdad calls it emotional weakness but i spend hours,even wks after hearing of people and someones son'daughter taken from them.
On holiday i Cornwall a couple of yrs ago hubby and i were returning to our holiday cottage in the country and were stopped by police and told to turn back. I still remember it now, there was a lorry and a bike, ambulances and police cars, it was dark thankfully for us. We learnt the next day a young man on his motorbike had collided into a lorry and been killed instantly. Poor lad and his poor family (and lorry driver). I think there's alot to the saying live each day like its your last, i've determined lately to do just that and have loads of fun times for my boys for them to remember, instead of the usual bickering. x

Lol i have to echo Gromit SK above, i typed out my answer without reading their comment and then spotted it - different words but exactly what i was going to say! Spooky! Would add tho that if i read the title of a thread or see the way things are going on one i deliberately avoid it like the plague! Just want an easy quiet life!

Got stopped by the Mormons today, very annoyed
by callitquits76 inhi.. i got caught offguard by the mormons today whilst out walking my dogs.
there were two of them and one called out to me and mentioned something about talking to other people about christ, so i immediately told them i did not agree with them at all and didn't trust any group who suggest theyy are 'the one'.. i spoke for around 20 minutes because i didnt want them to think i was running away through lack of education, and i went over things like how much you can trust joseph smith since he was a raving mason etc and how i thought it was a religion by men for men, but this mormon guy was really smug and basically just answered with a smug nod of his head and replied 'we've prayed to god and he's told us the way to live is the mormon church'.
this was really a cop out and he couldn't answer much, particularly concerning the need for the book of mormon and he knew very little scripture indeed.. the other mormon seemed much nicer and was from germany - a lot more respectful.. but what really got me annoyed was my inability to argue decent points and found myself nodding along trying desperately to think of a counter argument but none came.

I know what you mean, tbh my scriptures knowledge was never great, buti know whatever you say to someone in a group like jws mormons etc would be able to answer you with something, you can never be in the right to them ifyou posted the truth up on a forty foot sign infront of them!I would just say no thanks and leave them to it.
