All comments have validity. My beef was the amount of comments given on certain paragraphs. The conductor would always spend a lot of time with the begining paragraphs and then have to rush at the end, resulting in going OVER-TIME ! This was always my main beef. Many short paragraphs had more comments then the long ones. I would lose interest in the meeting/meetings.
Yes, I would express my faith. I put the comments into my own words.

25Commenting at Meetings: A Way Of Expressing Your Faith???
by R.F. inas we are told by the wt, commenting at the meetings is supposed to be a way of expressing your faith in the congregation.
i hardly felt this today during the wt study today or every meeting for that matter.
it seems more like this is the time when everyone wants to correct others or direct their comments in a way that it's condemnatory to others.

Typical witness reply. With them it's, "...nothing new under the sun".

This forum using same type of thinking as Jehovahs Witnesses?
by AirDuster ini notice one of the biggest complaints around here about the organization is often related to their constant use of the "us versus them" mentality, (i.e.
"we" need to be seperate from "them" because "they" are wrong and "we" are right).
yet i also notice that many of the posters here use the exact same kind of rhetoric and thinking.

Do you expect perfection in people?
by MariAruet inmany witnesses are perfectionists.
they have this image of what you should be like before they can accept you as a person, but even then you are constantly being judged, so you are never good enough no matter how much you try.
ive been reading posts here for the last few months and have noticed that sometimes people are quite judgmental and even abrasive with each other.

You are correct when you say some people do not think. Limited thinking.
Let me share another recent experience, a not so happy one, but, one worth sharing. My oldest daughter is a witness. She lives in my building next door to me and she pays low rent, my gift. Anyways, she gave a baby shower for her son (not a witness this past week-end) and I wasn't invited! This is my great grand-son. My sons and other daughter who attended (not witnesses) were displeased over the affair. My witness daughter said over the phone that she would save me a piece of cake, wow-zee, I refused the cake in a gentle manner when it was offered to me. If my wife were alive she would be very disappointed. My girlfriend was shocked to hear about it.
This is an example of witness training.
