JWs (myself included when I was a JW) make ignorant comments like that all of the time.
One difference between JWs and everyone else is that JWs are crafty at hiding their wrongdoings.
Hang in there, Jez!

I listen to Rap (mostly Old School).
The best "white" Rap group (in my opinion) was 3rd Bass (although their group was short lived).
MC Search and Pete Nice aka 3rd Bass. Two Jewish guys from New York.
One night at the Apollo, before they were really known, they came out on stage to perform 'Steppin to the A.M.' Pete Nice said to the crowd of mostly black folks with puzzled (and angry) looks on their face: "If you're black and proud, let me see you put your hands in the air".
The audience was almost in stunned silence. Pete Nice then says, "What? Y'all ain't proud?".
Then, they performed the song. By the end, the crowd was wild because they liked the performance so much! Everyone was jumping and screaming and applauding.
Man, I miss 3rd Bass.

Crumpet-
Surrey, eh? Believe it or not, I have acquaintances from Surrey. Long story short, years ago I worked with a woman from Surrey (Bindu). She had a unique dialect. Years later, I encountered a DIFFERENT co-worker on the telephone. Her dialect was exactly the same as the Bindu's. I asked her if she was from Surrey, and she said yes. She was astounded that I could figure that out.
Anywaaaaaay.......
You did have it bad, Crumpet! You had to do the morning texts AND a family study?!? YUCK! Also, what you said was also true in my case: You never stay in touch with these so-called brothers and sisters that you meet at those halls in which you visit.
Sunspot:
I feel for your "experiences"! But, I am happy that you (and me) have eventually learned.

Vacation away from the Kingdom Halls are great!
As one of you said in a post to this topic, going on a vacation is to break away from the normal routine of things.
I also used to have a "sick" feeling in my stomach whenever I had to go to the meeting on a day off from work (i.e., Thanksgiving, Christmas). You were off the entire day, relaxing, until around 6:00 PM. That is when you had to get ready for the meeting that night.

True, blondie.
But there are also many that DO.
I have heard of JW cruises where they rent one of meeting/banquet rooms and have meetings.

Remember these words?: "We Are NEVER on Vacation from Jehovah"

This meant that no matter where you went, no matter where you were, you weren't supposed to miss any meetings.
Travel to another city for your job? Open the Yellow Pages and find the nearest Kingdom Hall so that you don't miss a meeting.
Going on vacation from your family? Before you go, ask your elders if they can contact a congregation in the city in which you be.
There is nothing worse (okay, perhaps there are worse things) than going away for a vacation (or, "holiday" for you non-american folks) and having to STILL go to all of the meetings AND field service!
With that said, I am happy to report that I am going to Ocean City, Maryland tomorrow and I won't be going to ANY meetings......Of course, I haven't been to an actual meeting for more than two years now!
How about you? Did you have to go to meetings when you were in a different city/country/continent? Did you enjoy it? Or, did you detest it?
PS...That is NOT really Funchback in my AVATAR!!! LOL!
