    Found Sheep: Thanks for the kind and encouraging words. It's a struggle, I hope to live as the words of Invictus encourage:

    My head is bloody, but unbowed.

    This is a good one. I "outed" myself to a coworker I trust. His reaction to what I told him was, Man! You are angry!

    That kind of shocked me, because I'm not really an angry type, and don't feel particularly angry, and I don't want to feel angry, but I think something came out speaking face 2 face with someone that doesn't translate while typing about it here.

    I guess I'm angry! But it's a normal part of the process.

    I guess I'm angry! But it's a normal part of the process.

    You're f***ing right I'm angry!

    Angry that I was deceived, lied to, misled, and used.

    Angry (and embarressed) that I was so damn gullible and stupid.

    Angry that my best years are gone having been given to climbing the JW corporate ladder vs the "real" corporate ladder.

    Angry that no one else (outside WT World) thinks my decades of reading the WT & A! are equivalent to a college education.

    Angry that I dare not shout from the house tops (vs. the door steps) and expose the fallacies to everyone else!

    Angry I haven't gotten my pet Lion yet that I was promised at 5 years of age. (OK. Just kidding there. Needed a little brevity.)
