So appreciate your channel. I was never a JW but as a new believer in the early 90s I found myself in a 'church' for several years that became increasingly authoritative, controlling, abusive and cultish. I trust you know that what your sharing is extremely helpfull to not only struggling JWs but to countless other folks who've found themselves in similar places. The cultish principles employed are nigh on identical and the pain and difficulty of leaving are very similar also. 'What is not of faith is sin', was the key that finally helped me to move on. So good to see the place you both seem to be in these days, there is no trace of bitterness in what you share.

Thanks Allan for your assurance. It is a worry that bitterness, sarcasm, condescension will creep in between the lines.

Thanks for sharing David, I have borrowed this very important book 2 times from the local library. Unfortunatelly I never saw it in the bookshop here, so I never was able to purchase it.

Speaking of Ray Franz, If the Watchtower is correct in stating that Russia and it's ally China are indeed the king of the north, then you know what to expect next, right? If Ray Franz was still here, he can tell you!
