in 1998 my wife and I were desperate to return to Manchester
Wow. Things must have been bad!Englishman.
I myself was thinking along the lines of, "Why?" Nah, Manchester seemed okay. Stay the hell away from Hook, near Goole, though.

When I was a JW I prayed regularly and often and I thanked Jehovah in prayer again when events turned out favourably. However, sometimes things worked out unfavourably for me or a member of my family – but we never blamed Jehovah. Having now been out of Watchtower clutches for over seven months I began to realise that Jehovah couldn’t lose! We praised him when things were good, but we never once blamed him when things went pear shaped.
This is similar to the conclusion I have reached: Things turn out great, it was Jehovah's doing. Things turn out bad; I was doing something wrong.
So glad to see you!

I still give thanks (thogh not to Jehovah, per se) when good things happen. And when "bad" things happen, they provide opportunities for growth that I probably wouldn't have encountered otherwise, so I give thanks for the superficially bad as well. "Bad" and "good" are dualistic perceptions - let me emphasize, PERCEPTIONS - nothing more.
This may sound very philsophical and abstract, and I will agree that some occurrences, that we apparently have no control over, are very painful. Yet, through loss and pain, and the questioning and searching that one does in order to cope with such things, I have found happiness - or something that far more closely resembles it than the states in which I spent my existence as a JW and before.
I can't apologize for finding life to be a "blast" - all of its experiences, in perspective, included.
