just so you know my "career" hit the rocks in 1979 or so. (public crucifixion did little to leave me w/ the warm fuzzies for my "leadership" i assure you. ) after that i bounced between middle management and low man on the totem pole. i never sought out any inner circle position after that...it had totally freaked me out. i have only a passing aquaintance w/ rf...i did hear second hand of a heartbreaking account of him agonizing during one of watchman's inquisitions. perhaps i can sypathize w/ people who sinned against their own consciences. i am certainly guilty of having done so. (and for the record, the incredibly forgiving spirit of those i wronged was perhaps more responsible for helping me see the contrast between said "leadership" and the christlike exmems i had wronged then any other single thing.)

speaking the truth is good and right. if the one to whom you speak it knows you love them it will certainly have a better chance of being heard. at least that has been my experience.
