  just setting the record straight.

  there is another thread that notes a claim on wiki that said that ray has died.. he had a stroke yesterday, and is in the hospital.

  he is still alive.

  From Spain I feel very sorry of hearing such bad news about Ray.

  These days living is sadder and tougher.

  I have never met Ray but I feel his illness as if it was my father illness.

  Regards

  The Day I had an Epiphany

  my eyes opened in more ways than one.

  as i lay in bed that sunday morning, i knew i was never again going to rise hurriedly to get myself and the kids dressed and fed for field service.

  i was actually feeling relieved and wanted to just turn over and go back to sleep, certain and content in my decision.. the day before, i had stood at the end of the block, after working a territory filled with barking dogs and people sleeping in after a hard days work week, and thinking, "never again".

  I remember it very well, it was a Saturday in November 2008

  An elder in my foreign language congregation told me to preach with him, we were preaching for three hours and after that he explained me why I was the only one man in my foreign language congregation not receiving any responsibility. Could you imagine 55 publishers, 20 of them regular pioneer? Basically a fanatic foreing congregation and I was the only one with no responsibility, the reason he gave me: my children bad behaviour.

  My chidren, 9 and 7 years, two spanish little boys in an English congregation, they were learning english at school,

  How could he state that my children were behaving badly?

  The real reason: that elder hates me, I do not hate him I just feel pity for him.

  But it gave me and my wife the ultimate reason to run away from JWs, so after my last preaching morning I had my last meeting,

  I said bye bye and the party was over.

  I remember that sometimes while I was preaching I wondered, How can I preach something that I do not really believe?

  I was afraid of someone asks me about 144.000, How can I explain it? Should I explain him or her the truth about "the truth"?

  Enjoying Sundays now with my family is something very special.

  Feel the freedom to choose what to do in your free time is something enjoyable.
