  Lady Lee

  I hope I have

  Twitch said I gave him some papers that helped him.

  And I've had people read my webpage or posts I have made here and on other sites that I know have helped them

  But anti-witnessing - from start to finish - nope

  I just plant those seeds

  It is a tad outdated and needs a redo but I have been stalling

  Dear Friends,

  I personally don't feel I can take any credit for "opening" another's eyes. Yet, as Lady Lee humbly admitted, she has planted seeds. So have I. I mentioned elsewhere that the first person to take me out in service forty years ago began (a year ago) sending me "seeds" of information, mostly from Randy and related stories about Terry, Tom, Nils and Sherry. That and the wealth of information afforded here on JWD, I pass on in bits and pieces to all I can. When ones close to me listen attentively and then say, 'I've never thought about it that way before', I feel that the benefits from this board, Freeminds, Ray Franz and more, are worth a million. And God keeps making it grow.

  Yours truly,

  CoCo

  I have, but the toothpicks I used punctured their eyelids and they got an infection. Sorry, just couldn't help myself.

  I would rather say I was a tool that was used, my experience being the ladder that some used to climb out of the WT pit.

  For some it is purely theological reasoning that helps them. Pouring over twisted Scriptures and looking up Greek definitions. For some it has been WT history. For some it was the UN scandal. The most important aspect to it is love. Are we trying to prove we are right, or are we being truly loving and sincere?

  There are some who do not want see. They are happy in their misery and there is nothing anyone can do to help them. That being said, I never give up hope.
