How many of you wish that you could of come to the realization about the Watchtower Society much sooner than you did?
At 60 years of age I wished it.
And how many of you are settled in your mind that on reflection, 'what's done is done' and the past is beyond our changing,but the present and future are things we can work with and focus on.
I'm stuck in the now,still reflecting.

What is past may be done, however it shapes our present and our future if we have learned from it. Regrets are there, but so are good experiences to draw upon in some form or fashion.
I wish more that I had different parents or that they had never had children. But since I don't and they did, I find joy in my unalterable circumstances.

We are our past. My history has worse chapters than being a dub. Now I am happy to be free of many troubles, especially the trouble thinking about the New System and my unworthiness , today I relish the here and now. If we spend time making this life better, any other life is just that ---other.
Sometimes when I'm feeling down I play His Bobness singing Its All Over Now Baby Blue::
Leave your stepping stones behind,
something calls for you.
Forget the dead you've left,
they will not follow you.
The vagabond who's rapping at your door
Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
Strike another match, go start anew
And it's all over now, Baby Blue.
The Pope
