That is so typical.  I would get the exact same crap as a kid.  You'd think life would end if we ever wanted to do anything on a meeting day.

I am right there with you on all this.  There is no room to breathe, no room for anything other than the stupid Watchtower.  I remember everyone would be so pumped up when Friday would come and it was time for the weekend when I was in school, and how depressed I'd be because I knew I'd have to waste my weekend in field service and at the meeting.



Blood fractions?  Shunning family and friends?  "Stay alive in '75"?  Condemning the UN as evil and then joining it?  Shielding pedophiles?  1914 "overlapping generations"?  All the false prophecies?  Seriously??  Who could support this JW stuff without feeling like a total disgrace to Christianity?
