    Very touching Simon,

    I am happy for you and Angharad...that you found your soul mate. I can relate to the loneliness you felt within the organization and living alone and "doing all that you're supposed to do". But, still feeling the loneliness. My mother was disfellowshipped when I was 10 and all the while growing up in the org. being told that she would die at Armaggedon if she was disfellowshipped left a huge void in my heart that no one can replace.

    I can't believe that they claimed to know where Jehovah lives, I've never heard of the plaides...is it a galaxy or something?

    Anyway, your story is very interesting and thank you for sharing it...look forward to reading more!

    Simon:

    I very much enjoyed Part 2....and have never heard of the Plaides...What book or reference material did you find it in?

    I found that when I got married, left home...that my Dad became more important to me. My Mom died of cancer when I was a very young teenager. (I was always very close to her...so her death was very tragic)

    I am not sure how you stayed in the "truth" after seeing apostate written on your car...you had some very unloving, unchristian people at your KH.

    Waiting anxiously for part 3.

    wow, you have a very endearing style to your writing. Simon.

    Angharad, "Makes you wonder about fate", lol, don't wonder, go with it

    Waiting for the next installment.

    Hugs,

    Joy

    Writing the word "apostate" on your car? Now that's crazy.

    People and circumstances seemed to be conspiring to make you miserable -- but life had other plans for you, hey?

    I really appreciate this window you are giving, Simon. I can imagine the horrid realization of shunning your own father, after your son was born...

    My thoughts as well!! bebu

    Thanks Simon, great story.

    The WTS had believed that they knew where God lived, in the Plaides.

    That is one I never heard about, what book do they say this in?
