I was born into it, and desparately wanted to believe in it. It gave me a sense of purpose and specialness. I was good at giving talks and always was most active in duties and responsibilities at the hall and conventions. All of my friends were among the most active in the congregations. In short: it made me feel important and loved, and satisfied my desire to "do the right thing".
The issues qwith blood and chronology finnally made me see that things werent what I had thought they were. I was starting to wake up and see that i was in a group of people who blindly hung onto every word that spewed forth from a printing corporation....and who didnt like people to wake up!
