corvin im embarassed. i feel like a student lecturing a teacher!!! i didnt even look to see how many posts u have made! you're way ahead of me in the apostacy! bethel
No, no, brother Bethel! You mustn't apologize. You made quite the appropriate response and it made so many licks of sense I am all wet with reasoning, lol. The number of posts I have made is not the thing. It's just that I have a lot of free time and a bone to pick.
I was "dragged" up in the org and I have been df'd for 14 years and always thought I would return once I had myself aligned with the organization's viewpoints. A tremendous growth process took place over those years and just when I was on the brink of reinstatement, I found the truth about "the truth" while reading Dan Brown's, The Da Vinci Code. I know that sounds funny, but there was a recurring theme in that fiction book about the use and symbology of the pyramid/triangle in Christianity. I went on line to do some deeper research about the topic and the first site I found displayed that great stone pyramid right next to Russell's grave. I was astonished that CT Russell popped up in the most unlikely place. One thing I read lead to another and I found my way to a listing for Derick Barefoot's book about hidden images in the WT publications (I knew Derick Barefoot) and I was then lead here.
The apostate process began about 8 months ago, so I am fairly new to this thing, but I am also so grateful to so many here for their insight, love and caring. I have come along way and woe to the JW who brings their hypocritical drama into my life again. I've already had the ocasion to take a couple of them off at the knee cap and it felt so good. I still have issues and anger about the org that I am working through, and my posts sometimes do reflect that.
Peace to you,
Corvin
