In the past whenever you went on vacation (holiday) did you try and find a Kingdom Hall to attend and also try and put in some service time?

We tried this exactly one time...whilst camping no less! Arghhhhhhhhhh!! Forever after that we just waved as we passed the KH's we saw while on vacation. Oh that felt so good!!

I visited JW friends out of state for a week and went to their meetings and also went in service. I was trying to impress them so they'd introduce me to single JWs. Several years later, I met a JW who contacted me on jwconnections.com. I went to a meeting to check out how he interacted with others and also to see if anyone would spill the beans on him. He stood me up for the meeting, but did meet me later on.

Yep, went to the Kingdom Hall in Maryville Missouri one summer Sunday when I was visiting my stepsister and fam. I was nerdy like that. Cong was weird, aren't they all though.

Pioneer Spit...oh, i mean Spirit
My parents were into that when I was young, in every state we ever visited the KH, it was horrible--we always met people with connections in AZ. It just cut a chunk out of a vacation.

We did occasionally if it fit into our schedule. Actually, it was educational in seeing that certain behaviors were exhibited at many congregations. We visited one where several were glad to meet us until that found out that we were visiting JWs and not non-JWs and potential converts. Some we were totally ignored at...F for hospitality; some took us out for lunch after the meeting. It reminded us of how when having problems in one congregation JWs will switch to a new one and after the honeymoon period, find out that the new congregation just has new problems.

My parents would find one and then they would pawn me off on them for the whole week we would be on vacation. I would go out in service and I would go to the meetings with them... but I did meet a cute boy while we were down there.

Of course I did! What better way to find girls when you are from a small congregation. I liked the bigger cities where the women were wilder. I partied more than went in service on these trips. JK
