Hi Bethellies...
Many times when I did not feel like it then I would just sit during the song.Did get some weird looks but I did it my way.
Whenever there was supposed to be show of hands money related I would remain neutral and would not raise my hand at all for agree or disagree. i did it my way.
your 2 hours or more so just wasted (not counting the time getting ready,travelling etc)
I would be reading a novel on my tablet throughout, have shopped, browsed sales and actually paid for items too. So did not feel like wasting, rather chilling but in a different place. At the assemblies same thing , even listening to music. If i manage to get a hotel on the hall premises or walking distance , I would just go for an hour at lunch time show my face to a couple or so bros and sisi from my cong and leave, Enjoying the day in my hotel room chilling doing my own thing. i did it my way.
