"See....that's the thing....because we might've had some good memories, some people are thrown off by that. They miss the good times that they remembered, their family get togethers, their "friends"....Minimus
Good point...I miss it, heh, heh...never got to be an elder...but, I lived the double life, which was much easier back then, or appears to have been, from what I've read since being on the board.
Thing is, those who have a life experence will always connect with those who lived it as well. I remember my father, even as a die hard jw, talking about his WWII army service, when he was with others who had gone through the same thing. Many jw's themselves. We all lived it, it was our life the good and the bad.
Sadly the bad times seem to outweigh the good.
