  Did anyone just get tired?

  during my days as a witness, which was only about 10 years ending circa 1981, most of my memories revolve around how totally exhausted i always felt.

  toward the last, i was dragging my family out to the five meetings a week and working fulltime and getting my quota of publisher hours on the little sheet every month, even doing the temporary pioneering bit now and again.

  when i had the ministry school, i even worked a four day week to be able to give every talk on the program in case someone did not show up, which frequently happened in our little congregation west of fort worth, tx.

  Hi,

  I have been gone for a couple of years now. I was the perfect platform girl who said all the right things and had all the right friends. You know what I was tired of? PRETENDING

  I never once read the WT and thought about what my answer or opinion was, I only studied so that if I was asked I could spout the latest words.

  Since leaving I am finially doing what I want and thinking what I think and feeling what I feel.

  The whole thing is exhausting, I appreciate how you feel and that you had the courage to get out.
