Mouthy,

Thanks.

Elsewhere,

Come on, tell us how you really feel.

One of my roommates at Bethel used to chew tobacco before he was a witness. When he would play baseball, he would put it in the space between his lower lip and his bottom teeth. Now, whenever he would play ball at bethel he would miss the feeling of chewing tobacco there in his mouth. He didn't want to chew tobacco anymore--he didn't crave it that often, he knew it could cause cancer, and he knew it was gross--but he still missed it.

To me, that's what being a witness is. It's that piece of chaw you used to have in your mouth. You don't need it or want it, but you can't stop tonguing that space. You know that you've lost something.

It was kind of like people who stay in a bad relationship simply because that's all they know. When I left I went through a culture shock. At first I missed certain people. Never the teachings though. I went to one morning of a convention once simply because I missed the schedule of. It was all I ever knew I was supposed to do. Of course the things coming out of their mouths made me sick and I left early.

Now I don't miss one thing about it. I'm not bitter, and can remember some of the good that did come out of it. But as far as missing it...... any women out there who were in an abusive relationship miss getting hit?
