I don't remember my last day of field service but I do remember my last meeting. I remember having an anxiety attack before the meeting, and while at it, I remember thinking how much I hated it. I remember thinking for the first time.. should't worship be something enjoyable? shouldn't it be something from your heart, freely given? I was SO tired of being made to feel guilty for not doing enough... never ever enough... whew. now I LOVE sundays.

My husband doesn't understand this...
by starfish422 inmy husband does not understand what my attraction is to this board.
i come and go on the boards, i'm not a regular by any means, but i find that the boards are a catharsis for me.
my hubby was never in the borg, and he doesn't understand how talking about it, and comparing experiences, and poking fun at the craziness of it all, can interest me.

If this site was only a site where people only bashed witnesses or even only talked about religion, I'd get bored with it quick. Its a place where a lot of really neat people gather to talk.. about whatever... that understand each other because of similiar backgrounds and experiences.

I was feeling these weird rumblings in my tummy, and I didn't know what to do. Then I remembered I hadn't read the latest Awake!, the Awake! told me that rumblings were commonly caused by being HUNGRY! Amazed, I found some food, and sure enough the rumblings went away! Thank you Awake! for once again saving my life!
Condescending Crap!!!!!!!

How DARE the organization presume to know whether someone really loves god or not?? The outright arrogance just amazes me.... over and over again.

Incredible quote from KM_03_02!
by Nowhere inkm, feb 03 - page 3, paragraph 6: .
a brother who was unexpectedly laid off from his secular employment took advantage of the situation to auxiliary pioneer....reflecting on his experience, he said: "what a month!
" how elated he was for having jehovah's direction and help!

It makes me angry that the watchtower uses unreal experiences like this to cause witnesses further grief and guilt over not doing enough. Where is the love? It puts unreachable expectations on everyone. It suprises me that the organization doesn't cause more suicides than it already does.... this has really made me sad, I remember feeling SO inadequate because of dumb experiences like this.

AGGGHHHH! Please forgive me, I HAVE to respond to this troll, or I will explode...
I feel guilty for all the hours I spent in field service, brainwashing people. I hope my little time on here can undo some of the damage I have done.

Country Girl,
There are some nice things about the cabin, but more bad than good for me right now... I'm thoroughly worn out, working full time almost an hour drive away, I really dont' have the time or energy to devote to all the work it takes. We have a wood stove, but it doesn't seem to keep it warm enough, not to mention setting the alarm every three hours in the night to add more wood. But its free rent right now and I can't afford to move. I hate the complainer that I have become, because it seems like that is all I do anymore. Sorry!
