Yup, Crazyguy...
Trussell it seems was right after all...
Oh, the depth of the darkness that envelops those who dare to stop reading Trussell's "Studies in the Scriptures"...
Fifteen years later, I went to the UN in person.

biblexaminer - "... I still wanted to believe that the Org was the place to be."
I remember that feeling.
Prior to my fade, I had reached a point where I was actively (and retrospectively, in quiet desperation) looking for something - anything - that would still prove the WTS was right...
...and every chain of evidence or reasoning was still leading to the opposite conclusion.
I - as you said - wanted to believe that the Org was the place to be... until I was honest with myself, and realized why I felt that way.
It wasn't because I wanted "the Truth" to be true, it was because I was afraid of not being in "the Truth"...
...i.e., my own sense of personal integrity (and - ironically - the Org's own stated standards) would require that I leave the JWs, which I knew would make life considerably more difficult for me.
