  Yes, I would like to see the 2000 article, thank you.

  DakotaRed,

  I re-read the horrible accounts of tarring and feathering, whipping, beatings, etc. So much suffering, and what did it prove? People sacrificing their lives and dignity, and at one time I believed it was so noble.

  So Rutherford brought all this persecution on his people. Talk about self-fullfilling prophecies.
  The more I read of this, the more I realize what a fool I was to believe everything I read without questioning it.

  dungbeetle and DakotaRed

  Thank you both so much for the info. My bound volumes only go up to 90 or 91. Don't think I have any books before 1970 but will look thru my mothers stuff to see if I can find anything, will print it out if I do. Thanks again.

  Tapestry

  i've kept in touch with a man who no longer posts here.

  in a recent email, after exchanging the ways that we were both deprived of a healthy childhood/adolescence since we were both raised in the truth, he made the statement that anything done differently back then would have produced a different him now; and since he likes the person he is now, not all of what happened in his past was for no good.

  i've thought (and said) the same thing myself.

  That was a beautiful piece of writing..I remember that episode, too.
  I've spent too much time dwelling on what might have been, thanks for the wake-up call.

  Hi Dinky,

  Sorry to hear your story, hope you continue on the road to recovery. How typical of the Society...you can drink and drug yourself into oblivion if you keep it private, but god help you if someone sees you smoking an ordinary cigarette in public! Damn hypocrisy, so sickening.

  A lot of events and thoughts that I had pushed to the back of my mind until one day I knew I couldn't do it anymore. Being embarrassed by the Society always blowing their own horn, seeing that it was just a numbers game-no one really interested is us, just our field service reports.

  Last Public Talk - 1994 when a young snot of a brother gave a talk and used as an example a worldly person we had both worked for. Here was a woman, up in years, good education, beautiful home, and an active lifestyle that I couldn't have kept up with, even tho I was 25 years younger than her. He painted her as a lonely, pathetic old woman, wasting time on a hobby that was of no benefit.(There are specific details about her life that he used so I know it was her.) My face was burning, my heart pounded hard as I heard his talk. I felt ashamed,sick, sorry and embarrased for all of us.

  Last Memorial-Three years ago when a brother walked up to my husband and snidely said. "OH, you decided to make it." The tone in his voice was unmistakable.(The same brother who committed fornication with my girlfriend.)

  Last Shepherding call - 1994 or 95. Total bull in a china shop routine. Makes me sick to even think of it.

  Getting on the internet in 98 and reading freeminds and others. Coming here and learning about the change in 1995, sheep and goats, and generation of 1914.

  Sorry to go on for long, but this has been really bugging me.
