Cass:
I am so very sorry that you endured so much pain. All involved will have a great deal to answer for. I am assuming you are out now. You are wise to question any organization or church. Those who know my story on this board have heard me say this before: No organization or church has a right to stand between you and your relationship with God. I assume you have been in contact with www.silentlambs.com? I believe it is .com; it may be .org. When your at your lowest in life, there is only one way to go....UP. You sound like you are on your way. Stay in touch on the board. There's lots of love here. ((((hug))))

Thanks, Frenchy for the poem. I love "If God made the day, then the Devil made this night". Boy, I sure hope you're over that one so you can get some sleep.

OMG Englishman. I'm five days older than you are. July 1, 1946. According to Riz, we should be rolling in the dough but won't live long enough to spend it. That's the pits!
Welcome to the Board, Lesley. Glad to see your're posting.

Glanced at the site, Scorpion. Its sad, really. A comment on the subject of defending the NWT translation...Obviously they forgot to consider whether those who were responsible for the NWT were qualified to do so...meaning possessing credentials as experts in the language. The NWT Committee were not and did not. Quite frankly I wouldn't have faith in anything translated by someone who isn't educated well enough in the language of the material from which he is interpreting! If you can't trust the translation, don't read it let alone make decisions in your life based upon it. Stupid. What a good way to get spiritually screwed up!

Thanks for reading. Although this poem has been published*, I don't really consider myself a poet. I was going through a difficult time (self pity I guess you could say) about losing my one and only love through stupidity (he married someone else). Feelings had cropped up again because I discovered I had moved into an apartment that was just down the street from his house. I truly didn't know it at the time I moved in. I no longer live there.

Thanks again. Trot
