I was elated to see so many positive responses. Thank you to everyone.
We have worldy friends/work associates who all know we are JWs. I don't know how we can fade and become more involved with them without them finding out. They are connected in different ways to some family/jw friends and it seems as though it would all get muddled up. Or, perhaps I am no where near that point. I'm thinking of what/ how things can go down.
One thing I hate, what a joke service is And how we are judged and our worth is based off how much time we give, not the fact that our service time is an absolute joke! We have witnessed and been a good witness through our college/work lives but no one can see that, therefore there is no worth. We haven't done service all together, as a family, or even a Saturday in almost two years. Wh dress all our kids, to parade around town MAYBE talking to one person, just to be seen by the congregation folks? That's once snippet of annoyance to me. When I have gone out I get put with some 18 -20 year old pioneer girls so they can 'assist and encourage' me and help with whichever kids I have. How ridiculous, I end up taking the doors and they are 'shocked' how well I can speak to householders and such. What this tells me is they have judged me, some punk teenagers with little to No life experience are going to encourage me, a married women with children, and actual life experience. Ha. Ha.
How most meetings what we hear is so hypocritical is just absurd. And that I am NOT the only one.
