I'd probably be going to a lot more meetings if I didn't feel so judged. That really is the biggest thing keeping me away. I can sit quietly and tolerate holding a difference of opinion about almost everything. But the amount of judgment that gets thrown around during a meeting - well, my tolerance for that is ZERO. So I don't go. I always feel more comfortable with people who are not JW because they are inclined to be much less judgmental and more tolerant.
I have come to terms that I will never fit into a pidgen hole for them - so I am somewhat shunned anyway. What difference does it make if I am there or not??
