Hi Minimus and Mrs Minimus.
I just wanted to let you know that we are thinking of you.
This time last year I read COC, then ISOCF.
What turmoil of heart and mind.
I had been baptized for over 40 years, and it seemed my whole life was falling down around me. I was angry [at them and me], hurt, sad, disappointed, disenchanted, frustrated, and very, very depressed.
I thought about it day and night.
I could hardly think about anything else.
The strange thing is that we had known for years that everything was not as it was proclaimed to be. My husband had been in Bethel and in many responsible positions over the years. We knew many of the problems both doctrinal and organizational. But it was still a blow. A disillusional shock to our whole being.
Now the encouraging bit.
W e are pleased to have confirmed, things that were just nigglings in the back of our minds.
We are now much more contented.
My husband has always been a very spiritual person [that was why many of the society’s teachings concerned him], and we have continued on with our prayers and Bible readings etc. Actually we are enjoying our Bible reading more than ever. We are also coming to realize that the Society does not give as much importance to our Lord Jesus as does the Bible [and I don’t mean the trinity teaching].
One thing is for sure. We have much greater peace of mind.
From here we can move on.
I don’t know if I helped. But I just want you to know that we understand your pain and are here to help if we can.
Christian love
Yesidid
