Beryblue,
I sympathize with you. Joy and I read everything we could get as fast as we could get them. I remember being ANGERED as I read. Ray's books covered the issues with such reasonableness that I could not believe how dumb I had been.
But what is the alternative, STAY DUMB???
Remember when new publications came out at the assemblies and we were anxious to dive into them but after about two pages I would start viewing it as a theocratic chore to read this thing. By the time I finished the new WT publication I felt only relief that I had accomplished my duty.
How many felt that way reading Ray's books? I'll bet not one. How many read them when they should have been eating or sleeping? Probably most of us who cracked the cover.
