  Very interesting Paul - I have nothing but admiration for all you born-ins who were able to see through the BS and make the brave decision to exit but feel sad for the trail of wreckage left by the WBTS in your lives. Sad but not surprised (given the handicap imposed on you by the WBTS) to hear you are struggling financially and sad to hear yoru daughter is still enslaved but happy hear you are in a good relationship and your boys had the good sense to also see through the BS. Cheers

  I have a feeling I would enjoy drinking with you. LOL.

  Thank you for this. It's nice to read something straight-shooting, being told as it for a change. Much appreciation.

  Question: Do you work with AAWA? If so, how are you involved and how has it grown in the year since it's development?

  Paul,

  Thanks for your story.

  your posts several months back helped me shakedown my thinking. I hope in the coming years you won't feel the loss of time in the Org so fiercely.

  I try not to think of it too much.

  It is amazing to me the clear steps that you took in reasoning out some things. Then acting on it. "pulling the trigger" on it, so to speak. good example for your sons.

  All the best.

  Frazz - It's been a blessing and a curse. I have a fantastic GF through it all. Thanks.

  BSD - Fank u. I don't do AAWA stuff. I don't know which country you're in........but...........it's your round.

  BU2B - You are welcome. I try to get closer to the heart. It's been a marathon. Time stand still I say. 10101SOS!

  Humbled/Maeve - Hope I didn't frighten you. I am a very impetuous geezer.

  Once again, love your style. I don't how your strong authenic persona coped with the jw rubbish for decades. I suspect you were depressed aid latently frustrated most of the time. Isn't it great to be able to speak as we find!
