Amen on the no-guilt.
Learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all - whitney houston. A great truth. After you have come to accept and love yourself, only then can you love anyone else.
My opinion.

Essie, Think41Self, and Danny,
Thank you for the kind words. Now, I will feel guilty if I don't show up tomorrow, hee, hee. Danny, I am going to have to wip up another Sunday School lesson, since my lesson on the book of Joshua was such a big hit. I thought I would do one on, "Revelation made easy." I thought I would bring all the boys and girls some special mushrooms, so they could understand John's frame of mind when he was writing. Danny, as one of the elder's here in the White Winged Gospel Church here in Armageddon, Ohio, what do you think?
As brother Richard Pryor once said, "Lighten up, don't tighten up."

I've been through the range of emotions regarding JW's. At first I felt betrayed and upset. I even stopped reading the Bible for awhile because it was the Bible that first caused me to realize that some of their teachings were seriously flawed. I didn't want to HATE them, so I figured that I should just avoid it altogether. I never stopped praying, though and gradually I started reading again.
The truth is that before I became involved with the Witnesses I lived an immoral life, and by my association with them and studying the Bible with them, I was compelled to clean up my life. Even though it ended up that I can't accept what they have created as far as the organization goes, they did help me. I can't hate them. I hope that they will see where they have erred and turn around. I doubt that this will happen because it would involve ALOT of admissions of errors that would cause most of their members doubt and distress. I don't intend to let go of them completely. I hope that those among them that are sincere are heard by Yahweh and will be saved.
If anything, you need to let go of your bitterness so that you can be healed.

Rev Larc,
Sorry wont be wearing no 'elder collar', I don't think they make em in my size. But I would like to be one of the 'deacons', arn't they the guys who get to work with all the 'sister's', setting up get to gether's, making sure all the costumes for the 'Lots Daughter's' scene fit properly? Well then Iam there, dear brother!
I was wondering what we called our church "White Winged Gospel Church" sounds wistful, worthy of a 'holy'(?) man like yourself Reverend FreeAsAlarc. Perhaps we could arrange a group picture of the congregation, on a wonderful snowy day in December? Please don't make me stand next to Farkel, you know how is about throwing snow balls, allways duckin and bobbin, never can hit the bastard!
I remain your devoted unchristian, slave and brother to all the sister's (paricularly those widows, who wear high heels).
Deacon Bear
