Yes, most congregations had their meetings later in the day. One Hall i was in had it at 6:00 PM. Sundays looked like this: 9:00AM meeting for service. 9:30: to the field. NO BREAKS till 12:00-12:30 . Lunch,if lucky at a coffee shop. 2:00 study for the WT. 3:00-4:30PM : totally dead time, not enough to do anything but have a snack or light supper 4:30-5:00PM change back into meeting clothes and get ready for the 15-20min drive to KH. 5:30-5:45 PM arrive at KH and visit. 6:00 -7:10 PM REALLY boring talk where speaker goes overtime. 7:10 -7:20 break (windbag speaker stole 5min. of our break time) 7:20 -7:30 song and another rambling prayer. 7:30-8:30 WT study (if conductor didn't go overtime) 8:30-8:40 song and prayer. 8:40- 9:00PM visiting (Dad does his PO thing) 9:00-9:15 -20 drive home. 9:30PM ALL the good TV is over and it's time to get ready for bed and school the next morning. Over 12 hours of drugery. Aude, we were typing at the same time! We obviously had similar experiences as kiddy Dubs.

The average JW doesn't DARE analize this nuu light lest he see the absuridity of it all. Remember, the flock is continually reminded that the GB "has done all the research" so don't you worry your tiny little minds thinking too hard. The generation change in '95 had me scratching my head because it made no sense. My knee jerk responce was to kick into Scarlet O'hara mode. "Oh fiddle-de-deeee I'll "jes have to worry "bout that tomarrah!" I assume the same is happening now.

Dwain, The "Brothers" sure loved to put everyone on the spot to shame them into doing more. Guilt, competion and shame were fostered by HQ. No wonder these attitudes remain long after the charts are gone.

Jehovahnomics, you have found the issue that was the tipping point for hubby and me. Doctrine can be argued but stealing money and lying about it is inexcusable for an organization who claims to represent God.

Yup, kids would play, you could get a drink of water, go to the restroom etc. Why did they dispense with it?

A poster on another thread reminded me of when there was a 15 min. break between the talk and the WT study on Sundays. The break was supposed to be to allow JW's time to drive their Bible studys home from the talk. What I actually saw were several "weak" brothers smoking a cigarette out front. How 'bout you?
