I love your story! And I love how you met and married the lovely missanna.

but, no matter what i was taught, i never could accept "the truth". i always thought i was just to stupid to comprehend it.

And I wanted to say what a chord this struck. I never got my head round so many things. They just didnt make sense and I thought it was because I was bad Jehovah's holy spirit was blinding me. Its good to know it was just plain old common sense and good old fashioned logic that stood in the way of my mental grasp of some of the bizarre scriptural meanderings.

Wow - great story - well, at least with the way it finished. I'm a little sad to see how many ex JWs turn to drugs etc., but I guess it's a normal reaction. My life has been very "boring" in comparison. Then again, I never had a rebellious phase, and now it's kinda too late. Oops - there I go talking about myself instead. Sorry - I'm happy to hear that you're doing good now, and I wish you luck in the future.

Oh - one more thing about myself , because it kinda relates to your story: I kinda thought the opposite when I was growing up - I wished I wouldn't think so much and envied those who didn't, 'cause I did believe in the gist of 'the Truth', but I had so many unanswered questions in my brain that I thought I had been better off if I had been born "dumber" than I was - that way I wouldn't know any better but would get saved in the end because of it. Oh well. I guess we're both too smart after all.

Hey, what ever became of the elder you met in Texas? Is he still in?

Bigdeaux,

Thanks for telling your story. It seems like it takes a major event in people's lives to open them up to seeing what was always there. Our lives are not scripted, as your story shows, and it is when the mind is forced into the present moment that we can see the bonds that connect us all and the presence of God.

Good luck to you and your wife. I hope you have many happy years together.

The way you describe seeing things differently, as a kid, than others did is interesting. I wonder how many children get marked as mentally slow who are just seeing and expressing things from a different perspective?

exwitless, yes, he is still in. he's very old and in fragile health now.

OK, now you have to give us an expanded version of your story starting from the point when you and Missanna met. She was a pioneer when you met. Were you DF'd? DA'd? Inquiring minds want to know...
