    Hey Farkel,

    I should have Randy post my messages here :-) My writing gets replies when he posts them :-)

    Thanks Randy. BTW, business is booming. Lots of new e-mails from JW's planning their walkaway.

    Gary,

    Just wanted to pipe in here and say that this article of yours, and the lovelessness of my local elders were instrumental in getting me to analyze why I was staying in an organization which was demanding I do something that I felt was just so WRONG.

    So, thank you!

    Gary & Randy Thank You!

    I still felt shunned after I was reinstated, the shunning was by none other then my own flesh and blood - my brother The Elder. This helped me though...when I started to question things I really felt there was nothing to lose by looking for answers. I came to realize it is his loss not mine. I will never again accept conditional love from anyone.

    Hi outnfree

    Glad you're out and free. The real job for many of us has been fighting the urge to return.

    Those almost always are preceeded by a floating episode.

    It helps me to study floating so I am aware what is happening when it happens.
