LosaRose, the tight pants rant did upset a few people around me. Young people who wear stylish slacks or yoga pants do not need to be berated like that. Many were there to be encouraged, but got kicked in the teeth instead.

Dubstepped, I was encouraged to read how you and your wife walked out together. My wife shows signs of waking up, so I hope we can make a clean break together. Maybe the loyalty convention will do it for us. -

OTWO, thanks. Yes, I am looking at the man in the mirror, to quote brother MJ as he quotes James. I have taken a close look at your posts to see what I can do. There are some gems there. I hope to see you at Tahoe some day. That will be my Paradise. -

Ding, great advice. I really do need patience, as the KJ urges, more so than long-suffering from the outdated NWT. She actually picks out things that never bothered me a bit. One example is when the WT tried to insinuate that they would dictate where we live and and what work we will do in Paradise. My wife thought that is one thing she had control of. She was really distraught, so I told told her that it was not their place to tell us what to do. That was a bit too much for her. I should have said "Maybe you're right". -

Talesin, 1975 suppressed memories have flooded back. I thought I had dodged a bullet when October 3, 1975 passed with me still unbaptized. I took the plunge at the next assembly. -

Hybrid, I will try not to rush, since there is a lot at stake. Farkel,has left a very nice legacy here, and I hope his levity will rub off on me.

Joe, reality does suck. thanks for the advice about watching my health. I have actually been feeling better the past year, being very conscious of sleep, exercise, and diet. I even feel closer to my wife. I feel a lot of empathy for her, and I have told her many times that I love her no matter what we each think of the org. -

PTN, I wish you the best with your husband. If I make progress, I will be sure to post it. I really hope there is a way. Geoff's testimony at ARC caused my wife to stir and she insisted we stop donating. I heartily agreed. What she didn't know is that I had already stopped months before that. -
