    for me it has to be my family, there not stupid, I was a little kid (the youngest) during the 1970's, all my brothers and sisters were in their teens/20's, what didn't they see ?? and why don't they see it today ??

    truly baffles me,

    and my dad, he never went, but made us go ??? go figure that one. He was the father, he should of seen it, for what it was.

    Maybe it's easy to say that today, and wasn't so easy back then, maybe !!!

    For me, it was living the lie.

    Not being true to myself.

    Believing in the unbelievable notion that the WTS & the bible would change the 'real' me.

    I have no regrets. I did what I thought was the right thing at the time. The important thing is I have not stayed in the vomit once I realized I was sitting in it. Could have--would have--should have are words I try to keep out of my vocabulary. Life is now, use every moment. It can change so quickly.

    I didn't believe they were God's choosen people, but I thought they cared.

    I was raised in it and went three times a week for 18 years.

    I was the most disappointed when not one single person called when I stopped going to the meetings.

    Me too. Oh well, better than being badgered by elders like some here...
