Hi all. I was just reading some threads that made me realize how easy it is to underestimate the emotional pull the organization has on us and our loved ones.
The threat of being destroyed or losing loved ones at Armageddon can really mess with a parent's mind. I remember getting more "active" after my kids were born.
I also remember the guilt I felt for not doing enough. My husband and children were going to DIE and it would be my fault.
I am free from that now, and the relief I feel is so staggering.
I think you have to be born in to really appreciate the weight that was holding me down.
