Hello Randy. I have never told you personally how your website helped my wife's thinking as she was beginning to "see the light". The recorded interviews really helped her in a way that you cant imagine.
She is now fully supportive of my cause and I wanted to thank you for your role in that. There is a need for directness when dealing with JW's, without extreme bitterness, and I think your website accomplishes that goal.
The society's works based path to salvation always left me exhausted,unsatisfied and insecure about my own relationship with God. Then, in reading Romans chapter 8 in a six parallel New Testament and comparing the first verse in those translations with the NW translation, I began my own journey for truth which continues today. The secret NW translation commitee had to change Romans 8:1 to fit their reasoning that Jesus' sacrifice was only a down payment on a 1000 year mortgage, where the loan could be called in at any time. Like you,coming to a correct understanding of that has changed my life.
I was not aware that you have Crohn's disease. That can leave one debilitated. You will be in my prayers.
Lastly I was impressed with the way you handled that question from the impetuous poster about your sexuality. He obviously knew that you would never adopt that lifestyle and cant defend asking that irrelevant question or he would have done so by now. You handled it without a vitriolic counterattack.
While we are on the subject of Romans chapter 8, might I encourage to read verse 31 and take comfort in that. I will contact you privately in the future to offer my services in some small way.
Keep the Faith, Dino
