    Take away my right to choose,

    Take away my point of view.

    Take away my dignity,

    Take these things away from me.

    When it suddenly dawned on me that the whole thing was a complete con (and it was very sudden, in a flash, in the middle of two elders in mid-bullying session), I knew that I never ever intended to go inside a Kingdom hall again. The very next day, lines from songs started to run through my mind.

    "Just get out the back, Jack" from Paul Simon's "50 ways to leave your lover"

    "I want to break free" - Queen

    And most of all, from that very next day and for weeks afterwards, and still sometimes now, Bob Marley's Redemption Song.

    "Won't you help to sing
    This songs of freedom
    'Cause all I ever have:
    Redemption songs;
    Redemption songs.

    Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
    None but ourselves can free our minds.
    Have no fear for atomic energy,
    'Cause none of them can stop the time.
    How long shall they kill our prophets,
    While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
    Some say it's just a part of it:
    We've got to fullfil the book.

    Won't you help to sing
    This songs of freedom-
    'Cause all I ever have:
    Redemption songs;
    Redemption songs;
    Redemption songs."

    Most especially the two lines

    "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery.

    None but ourselves can free our minds."

    It says it all.
