Personal experiences are personal.
They aren't data.
It is my LIFE we're talking about and not a thesis.
How many people do I personally know who are better off today for having become Jehovah's Witnesses?
I can count them on one hand without using but one finger. (Guess which finger?)
Now and then I'll have a fragment of a conversation with an active JW. And they are always clueless about 1975. Further,
they have been personally assured it was all a rumor started by Apostates!
We are the Boogyman.
No, I don't need to provide you a list of the truly crappy jobs I held in janitorial work while I full time Pioneered.
I don't have to give you a list of the brothers and sisters who wrote to me while I was in Federal Prison. (There aren't any.)
I don't have to detail how my wife fell apart and started drinking when Armageddon didn't come in 1975 and couldn't get the Society
to respond honestly about it. (She died behind the wheel.)
I don't have to tell you about the sneaky Disfellowship trap I walked into or the year I spent crying on the side of my bed.
I'll just tell you that my life didn't really get started until I was KICKED OUT..
The rest you'll discover for yourself some day IF you are lucky.
Cheers
