This post just made me want ot read the book.
here goes what I think (two pennies worth) . Everyone is entitled to see things their way based on the lens they watching it with.
I thank everyone for their differing opinions which adds variety to an outlook.
Like "Many factors come together to create this specific unique person which is I. — Frederick S. Peris, Gestalt Therapy Verbatim".
I believe we all have a personality and traits of our own which when we become jws makes a fusion /merges into a combination of jw traits and our own resulting in good n bad in our life n actions.
here goes: Found the book funny no doubt,lighthearted at first. Enjoyed the humour very much so, I started liking the kyria's household (apart from a few things) seemed normal in some ways and not in many others.
I just loved the humour so much but could see the seriousness through the humour. The odd quirky innuendos pulled me to her sad situation and the parallels she makes in it.Like
1. “I love Jehovah with my whole heart, my whole soul, and my whole m ind,” I told the elder who held my performing future in the palm o f his formerly violent hand".
2. The succession of power was this: Jesus was the head over man; man was the head over woman; and woman was the head over cooking peach cobbler and shutting up."
A great read from a different though revealing perspective.
Making light of her sad plight drew me to Kyria.
