Hi beth, we are not strangers, we are fellow travellers.  We have something in common, we have a bond.

Back in my day we came across imformation drip by drip.  We had time to come to terms with the incredible things we discovered.   Theses days with the inter-net, you are overwhelmed with facts that make you stop and take a breath.......how..why..did i not know this?.  It can be overwhelming and can leave you disorientated.

I sent a pm to Solitare..Sam, that describes the journey we took out of the Watchtower and the lengths i went to to expose the Watchtower.  There is no doubt that while i felt i was driven by love for the indivual witness, i was also driven by a desire to expose the Watchtower.  At times it drove my wife and family crazy.  Everywhere we went we would bump into witnesses.  On holidays/vacations i would often get involved in meeting witnesses.  If i saw them going from door to door i would actually go and join them, telling them to tell householders the truth about all the false prophecys.......i was consumed.  If by chance they appeared on in my area i would tract the whole vicinity warning people of the dangers of the Watchtower.

I guess i was really pissed off.    And with my background as an Irish Nationist i was never going to go away quietly.

But...then came the day when i thought...enough is enough.  And it did take a long time...years in fact.  I dont resent the years i spent reaching out to and exposing the Watchtower.  But i now value the time i can spend enjoying life with my wonderful wife ..Children and Grandchildren.

In truth i am amazed by the wisdom, care, concern, and understanding of you and the other ladies on this forum.  You are all amazing.  No disrespect fellows, but if these ladies had been elders then maybe the Watchtower would have had a more soft hearted understanding of the needs of people.

Anyway Beth i will send you a pm of what i sent to Sam.

Oh and there is nothing wrong with anger, its a good human trait.
