My friend in Dallas sent me this site today. This is funny after leaving the Witnesses in 1992. I had served as an Elder for nearly 8 years out of my 32 in the organization and frequently find myself running across those who are out of 'Grace" with the Elders and WT Society. Some have beaten themselves up so bad that they think they have to go running back to the organization. I've seen that on a number of occasions, only to repeat their former action that got them d.f. or to remain in good standing with sour faces. I likened my time there as a 'mental prisoner'; The past 17 years of my life have been wonderful and best of all; they are the years I've created; not ones I have been told how to live. Just had to comment; be yourself, love yourself and others will imitate your lead......papacreel
