    Thanks everyone. I have been studying faith to someone I have known for some time and is one of them. It was only recently that I started to do some of my own research and discovered things that made me cringe with pain.

    I had learned about some of their buzz phrases and heard of this gem. "Worldly person" . I confronted him last week and he squirmed like a death row inmate. I told him I was aware of what it meant in their lingo. Confirming my suspicion, I then said it was disgusting and sad that he assumed I was the one going to "hell" and I said that I was aware that pedophiles were abundant in the WT and wondered if they were headed in that direction. Boy did he get outraged. I then asked if I was an apostate. (I am aware of that phrase as well). I knew the answer , and he asked me if I was searching the net. I then threw several bible verses at him, and he was so surprised . I said to him-did you expect me to take in all this stuff without doing any research and just take it -hook, line and sinker?

    Well, it's been 2 weeks of holidays in Southern California and it was good to not have to worry about going"to hell". I am waiting for him to call me in a day or so. We work together in a small business. I also understand that even if I could be dissed, that it's still business as usual moneywise (funny about that).

    He had often asked me to go to meetings, but I politely declined. My wife told me if I ever went to not bother not coming back. She is a wise one and is very protective of her flock.(There is an annual meeting near Easter).

    I can assume there will be more antics coming up I am sure. If anyone wishes, I will share if the fun as it occurs. Thanks for the time. WT.(not those ones) World Trav.!
