:As far as doing things all I can say is that the congregation I belonged to didn't do a lot of things other than go to assemblies, meetings, and feed the speaker on Sunday. If you missed one of these gatherings someone was always asking you why. So it really wasn't a case of wanting to go, it was more of a case of feeling guilty if you didn't go.
Sounds like most of the congs I was in. Anything other than theocratic activities was "an unwise use of time". I wondered if JWs were allowed to find time for non-theocratic pursuits. Where I was, the answer was no. For one thing, with a full-time job and a JW schedule, where did one find the time?
Any no matter how much any bro or sis did, it was always not quite enough. "Just a little bit more" was always needed.
Glad to be off that treadmill,
