I have a thought for you. 1) In your first question, the A) answer, on the 7th line down it states, "from first contact with a JW who was friend"...............Do you mean it like that? Or did you mean to put an "a" in for "a friend" or did you mean "my" as in "my friend" but you already have two "my's" in one sentence, so three "my's" would be a bit much?
Thank you, Lois.
Let me look at that for a moment and I'll reply to you...............................
Okay, got it!
I had re-re-rewritten the answer after many editing sessions and dropped the "ly" on friendly when I added the comma.
I just went in to my original manuscript and have put the "ly" back.
NEW VERSION:
Q: Why did you write this book?
A: For the last forty-four years I’ve been told repeatedly by strangers and friends I have had a unique experience others find deeply interesting. I quickly discovered it is impossible to tell without a background in place. The first half of the book fills in the history of how other conscientious objectors dealt with duty to their state, country and their fellow man. The second half of this book gives the personal journey from first contact with a JW who was friendly, up through the first visit to a Kingdom Hall, Bible study, baptism, Draft Board examination, interview with my attorney, County Jail and Federal Prison experiences.
I've got two editors going through the whole thing one last time and that's when you catch those bugaboos.
I appreciate your eagle eyes :)
