Therre is a thing called personal choice, sometimes we make good choices, sometimes we make bad choices, sometimes we make dumb choices. It doesn't mean we were dumb. We also have to pay at times for our choices. I'm paying now for my choices I shot drugs over 30 years ago, I'm paying now with the last 46 weeks spent on interferon, losing my job of 17 years because of the time I had to spend on treatment. Bad, dumb choice, personal resposibility. I made the personal choice in 1975 to leave GA and hitchhike to Knoxville Tenn and JOIN TF. Bad dumb choice, personal responsibilty. Getting brainwashed with BS in TF not my choice, but my responisibility because of a dumb choice. Spending time associated with TF for 28 years until I cut ties in Feb. 2003 much of it dumb choice not to leave sooner. Being over 50 years old with only a high school education without a job, fruit of my personal choices, my responsibility. Going to Bible College this Sept. to study for ministry, winning almost $6000 in scholarships in 1 month hopefully I was listeningand this is His choice for my life. If I'm wrong once again personal responsibilty. I spent close to 6 years in drug addiction and 28 years in TF. Who gets the final blame? ME
