    She doesn't sound bitter. She just knows the Watchtower is not God's organization. She may have regrets that they wasted so much time at Bethel.

    Yeah, Penn Square should really be fun for Betty. I'll try to get some more photos.

    Thank you, Sac, for helping Betty and sending us text and photos of your wonderful time together.

    I haven't seen Sister Dunlap in 37 years, and she doesn't seem that different to me [other than that she was blonde]. I didn't know her personally, but I recall her walking down the corridor briskly, adorned with her ever-present smile.

    Brother Dunlap was my instructor when I was a newbie Bethelite. Learning 25 years after the fact about his ouster from Bethel, I have to say that the outrage I felt over the entire sordid affair was the tipping point for me. My earlier reading of Terry Walstrom's and Nils and Sherry Jansma's testimonies became the bedrock foundation for my current vision.

    Gratefully,

    CoCo

    Wow, CoCo... that is cool to know. It is amazing, isn't it... how strongly we can be affected by those we love and admire... even if they are never aware of it themselves.

    Yes, Dear Baba:

    That's certainly a lesson to remember! We can affect others for good or for bad by the smallest word or deed.

    I appreciate your good effect on our JWN brother- and sisterhood. !

    Love,

    CoCo

    Thank you very much Sacolton.

    In a roundabout way, Ed and Betty helped me with my own exit and I owe them very much.

    It is wonderful to be able to put a face to her name.

    I would love to be able reach through my screen and give you a big hug Betty.

    sacolton and awildflower ... I am still having trouble composing myself here ... this is such a wonderful thread! You are both truly loving and wonderful people for helping Betty out.

    Thank you for the update. Both you, Shawn, and Betty look wonderful. You have awesome smiles. Great pics!!

    It is when we help others that we truly feel fulfilled. To me, this is one of the important works spoken about in the Bible. And I bet you can 'feel' it too!
