1) Field service. Funny thing is recenlty talking to people, virtually everyone actually hates it!
2) Commenting. I felt so stupid having to repeat a sentance that was just stated in the paragraph, which was already written at a 5th grade level.

EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I esp hated the way many of the men(ones of leadership) treated women. We were treated as possessions for them to use and abuse.

horrible life
I hated being in class (grades K-6), and the homeroom mothers would arrive with the party food. That was my cue, to go to the office, and sit, til the party was over.

Hated having no time and running from work to meetings and ministry.
All that crap about it being wrong to flirt with opposite sex and me thinking well how do you have a relationship then with no flirting.
The arrogant self rightousness that seemed to be in the tower.
Those boring kingdom songs.
For me personally [ was this the same for others?] my congregation was filled with mainly elderly people and i often thought to myself> What am i doing sitting here rather than mixing with people my own age.

Everything; I just didn't let myself fully realise. I knew I'd rather stay at home than go to the meetings or on the ministry, though.

What did YOU HATE about being a Jehovah's Witness?
When I was in shcool, I hated everything about it and would tell no one about my mothers affliction.
When I got out of school and married I accepted it from like 72 to 75. Thank heaven for 76 when I began my escape.
