Thank you for that insight terry about being imprisoned for being a conscientious objector on religious grounds.
I have always wondered how one would feel nowadays knowing the TTATT having undergone such an experience .
You spent 2 years incarcerated for your beliefs, and not to make light of your experience I remember in the 60`s or 70`s about Greek brothers who were sentenced to 5 years imprisonment and if they didn`t recant at the end of those 5 years were subject to another 5 years and so on .
Greece apparently had a very hard line against conscientious objectors to military service.
At the time I believe their was at least one brother who had undergone 15 years imprisonment because of his conscientious beliefs against serving in the military
I can`t imagine how he would feel if he came to a knowledge of TTATT .Though I can imagine such ones because of what they have gone through clinging on to the false hope the GB holds out to them .
I personally was fortunate that I escaped National Service at the time because about a year previous to my conversion I was not called up because of the birthdate ballot that applied at the time.
Though in Australia they were a lot more tolerant I think of conscientious objectors on religious grounds from memory.
Good post terry.
Newbies and lurkers need to know what you guys went through all those years ago for the bloody "truth"
