Hi S L H
I had been doing the ostrich thing for a long time before the meeting, while he was doing all the research he kept trying to show me and I wouldnt listen.Especially if it was something he'd got off the internet - afterall the internet is full of evil apostates We had some awful rows which were horrible because we never normally rowed about anything. He ordered a video from Freeminds and kept trying to get me to watch it - one time when he had got me to sit down in front of it I made myself go to sleep . But the stubborn bugger put it on the next night as well until I'd seen it - When I finally watched it, it was disturbing.
I had been looking at the websites he was visiting because I was worried about him being mislead. But one caught my eye and made me start to think a bit http://quotes.jehovahswitnesses.com/ ... what shocked me was that these were quotes directly from the WT publications, but I never told Simon this until after the meeting. I was scared to think he might be right about all of it.
Thats when I decided to arrange the meeting, because I thought that they would be able to answer his questions.
After I was really dissappointed in the elders, I agreed to start looking at a few things with him, and then I went and read Freeminds website with more of an open mind and during all this time Simon had put together a little book full of questions and references so I finally read through that too, after him leaving it lying around everyone for weeks. And here we are !
I'm so glad he never gave up on me because I was a complete cow sometimes during all the rows. Thanks Simon
