WHEW lots of comments to answer- ok here goes:
@nuthouse escapee - Thanks Leslie- it surprised me too- but I will likely be getting the boot today as they have arranged to deliver their verdict to me this evening so we will see.
@Lied2NoMore - Good and subtle points, and sometimes that's all you can do.
@Quendi - Your comments are sharp. Excellent point about H.S. not helping them come to a decision right away...I'm definitely in the 2/3 that won't be coming back to the WT Corporations for forgiveness of my imaginary sins.
@Flipper - Your call was really appreciated last night- sorry I was in the boonies and my cell dropped the call but we will talk again!
On to your comment about them covering themselves- yes that is definitely part of what went down I believe. They want to be very very sure that they don't violate their own policies and precepts, which is advice straight from the legal department designed to reduce litigation viability from dissidents such as myself.
@ScenicViewer - This has been a topic that so many of us can relate to- from the past of many, to the present for lots of us, and now to the (possible) future of the rest of us...
But don't worry, LOTS more to come from my story, as I have over 3 hours to get to the chopping up and editing of for YouTube. Dang I'm getting tired now just thinking about it lol...
@The Searcher - Well said that makes sense to me now.
@Phizzy - They do have good hearts IMO, and once many of you hear the proceeding you may agree. Some still won't, and that's okay. I do not desire these men to be "torn apart" though by critics that do not know them as I do. I do see it as collateral damage and accept that. This issue is bigger than me or these men by a long shot.
THAT SAID, goodheartedness still isn't enough...hasn't the WT always taught that Jesus' words in Matthew 7:21-23 prove that he didn't accept just sincerity alone?
