    Could This be such a place?

    Long ago, a child-like time: the Tower set my stride
    I'd bellow out the Kingdom songs; my heart would fill with pride
    Of knowing I was on the path to righteousness and life
    Looking forward to the end of misery and strife

    Then one day I looked around and found myself alone
    My faith was dry, my hopes had fled, serenity was gone
    The ones I loved had turned their backs and heartlessly refused
    To speak, so by their silence I was bitterly abused

    In the menace of the world, I stumbled to and fro
    Seeking here and searching there, but nowhere could I go
    'Til at last I found my place, and joy beyond compare
    Where no-one cares just what I've done; where people simply care.

    With thanks to Timothy Campbell author "Beyond Jehovah's Witnesses"

    Hey, Axeman... For me it's that kind of place, but I also find lots of acceptance from all sorts of people not associated with the WTS.

    Welcome!
