RR - I am shocked. I hope they are better off there than with the witnesses. Have you had any contact with them since?
Black Sheep - Good tip. I have taken your advice with interesting results. The difficult bit is the patience.
Farkel and GL Tirebiter - Patience again for when they are ready. It took me about 30 years to finally see the light and all the things my parents warned me about to finally sink in, and then another 10 years to work it all out and do something about it!!!
lisavegas420 - Good advice. I have made a note of that.
BabaYaga - Yes thank you. I need to read those books.
Satanus & AllTimeJeff - You have got me thinking about responsibility, also forgiveness. And the legal obligations of the organisation, the extra responsibility that comes with position, the morality of those responsible. I haven't got Ray Franz's books yet but from the his comments that I have seen I'm sure his books will help.
Have we been brainwashed? Have we brainwashed others?
One thing I am learning from you, and the discussions on this site, is the importance of honoring our personal and others emotions and feelings, and not just the factual disscussion side of it.
Thanks for your comments.
