Yoyo - thank you for the apology. I appreciate it.
sieg's wife - I know there are many out there that truly understand my experience. This board has been such an eye-opener and a life-saver for me. I'm relieved and yet saddened that so many of you know the pain associated with a DF or a DA from this organization. I'm very sorry that you've had to grow through this too!HS - Coming from a man that is probably close to my fathers age, I certainly appreciate your wisdom. I try to imagine my father one day having your knowledge and discernment and kindness. As you mentioned, time is a good healer...I do know that. But patience is a virtue that I struggle with. I want to believe that someday my father will leave the organization...but I have resigned myself to the belief that I shall not be the person to pull him from it. Thank you for your encouragement and kind words!JBean - don't cry.
But your right about the accountability issue - when forgiveness is for Jehovah to do and the Satan is misleading you to sin, there is no accountability anywhere.Andi
