Did you give the impression that you were an unhappy Witness?

I think that everyone knew that I hated being a JW. I didn't prepare my meetings. I hardly even read the magazines. I just went there because I was told, "God is with us"....

I think I do, never commenting and low field service time is the sign of a "spiritualy sick" one. Better go grab the asprin!

I think that I gave the impression that I was a "tired Witness", which made me very unhappy. Everytime, they'd talk about a convention or circuit assembly, I'd be the one that would think "Oh hell, not another one!". Those people wore me out!

Good question.....

Now that I think about it .... I guess I did give that impression

Maybe thats why no one really misses me there. But they were all free loaders when the invitation for dinners and drinks was offered.

No, I don't think I did. I always tried to be upbeat and positive, just because I found as a majority - the JW's to be the opposite. I think that is why it was a shock to my mom when I told her how unhappy I was and did things because it was expected of me (service, studying, talks, answering at meetings etc).

I think in hindsight it might have been easier for my family to accept my "defection" if I had not "put on a happy face".

I didn't 'hate' it, was just very unhappy. Most people who knew me could see that, and they knew they couldn't do anything about it.
