    Dear Questioning,

    These guys have already given you some great perspective, but I will add this... what you are going through with this encompassing ANGER is a perfectly natural stage of your huge loss... the loss of your belief system. This is known as the Kübler-Ross model first introduced by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in her 1969 book "On Death and Dying".

    1. Denial:
    * Example - "I feel fine."; "This can't be happening, not to me!"
    2. Anger:
    * Example - "Why me? It's not fair!" "NO! NO! How can this happen!"
    3. Bargaining:
    * Example - "Just let me live to see my children graduate."; "I'll do anything, can't you stretch it out? A few more years."
    4. Depression:
    * Example - "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"; "I'm going to die . . . What's the point?"
    5. Acceptance:
    * Example - "It's going to be OK."; "I can't fight it, I may as well prepare for it."

    You will see that anger is stage two. If this makes you feel any better... I left the Witnesses long before there was a Google to search, and although I knew they were not the "Truth", I thought they were harmless, and I made excuses for them. It took me accidentally stumbling onto information about the UN debacle that shook me to my roots and made me very, very angry.

    Basically, I'm telling you that I was in denial for a couple of decades. You'll be happy to know that the other stages seem to be moving by much faster now.

    Chin up!
    Love,
    Baba.
