    Summary
    8 years ago, My first Grandson Ethan was born.
    I also read a blip on the evil internet from Ray Franz book in Search of Christian Freedom. It was about blood. I was researching because my brother was very ill, passed away.

    7 years ago, my granddaughter Clara was born and I resigned as an Elder.

    5 years ago, I read Crisis of Conscience.
    Also my grandson Jonas was born.

    4 years ago, as the economy crashed I layed off 90 people.

    3 years ago, my granddaughter Ella was born.
    Also my wife of 31 years left me.

    2 years ago, I began helping my ex with serious depression, alcoholism, 2 DUI's
    I also attended my last meeting.
    I got my kids out of the borg and all the grandkids :)

    1 year ago, my grandson Luke was born.

    Even in the midst of pain and change, good things are happening. The future is bright

    Yes, there are difficult things in life. Such is.

    Yet, we must rejoice that another generation comes forth. We also rejoice that they will have opportunity of freedom of mind and heart and that we have a big part in opening that up for them. We have experienced mind control, but we go forth with every effort to expose it and ensure at least those in our family tree are free to grow without unnecessary 'shackles.'

    I was patient. I waited for them to try to help me with my spirituality. Since at the time they still respected scripture, that was my best tool in explaining the bad policies...DFing, blood, chronology, the rights of conscience.

    I would say, "Im not teaching this, but since you asked, I will tell you"

    Such respect for their own journey. Such patience. Congrats on the passel of grandchildren! I love your summary of the issues, "...DFing, blood, chronology, the rights of conscience." I would like to know more about your concerns over the rights of conscience.
