When ex-hubby gave a talk in a somewhat distant congregation I'd suggest that we duck out after the talk saying "we have to get back." Sometimes he'd bite. I always hated the stress of eating lunch with strangers. Nowadays I'd love it. Shows how much ambient stress I was under between the bad marriage and the bad religion.

OMG ....we overslept lol
by judi8751 indid anyone else do this on sunday mornings: when i was slowly waking up i realised that i didnt want to be at the meetings anymore, my hubby would be sleeping and i realised it was time to get up & get ready, so even though i was bursting for the loo i would hold it so as not to wake him up .
sometimes i was in pain holding it in , but waited till it was too late to get there on time lol.
then he would suggest going to the afternoon meeting intead and i would say i didnt like that congregation...you go hahahahaha, funny thing is he never liked going to the meetings by himself!!!

Oh gosh, I still wake up in the morning expecting my ex-husband to be on the other side of the bed. For about 2 seconds. We were married for 27 years, been apart for 9 years now. I'm very, very happy that he's not there, so it makes me wonder why I'm still in that mental rut. Maybe there hasn't been enough new input to push the old memories out of my subconcious.
And I have dreams where I'm still married to him and still doing the Dub stuff. Of course, I also dream about my father who has been dead for 12 years. He's being his abusive, nasty self, and sometimes I scream at him. It was a complicated relationship.
My advice is not to let it bother you. Your mind will work it out.

Has The Governing Body Ever Explained Why They View The Faithful Slave Parable As A Prophecy? What Justification Do They Give?
by frankiespeakin ini don't know of any do you.
i would think it a major leap in logic to not concider this first before expounding on it prophetically, why go thru the bother if we are missing this important link..

OMG, I did this more times than I can count! We didn't have an afternoon meeting option, so if we missed the morning meeting it was all over. Pancakes and the Sunday paper, baby!
I'd do it more often on Saturday mornings so we'd miss field service. Can you believe it, I was doing this 20 years before I finally left!

Thanks, Atlantis!
Wow, how stunningly boring those meetings will be.
