Dear Moonshiner of course you are right, different strokes for different folks and far be it for me to legislate that there is only one way to arrive at some kind of realisation.
Thats like saying there is only one way to arrive at salvation.
I think the point I was trying to make was that with some who are totaly, blindly and absolutely sold out to the cause, as many Family Members are it often takes some devine intervention.
But this does not always have to be the case, I am sure that with some as with your self it is a slow, dawnining, and gradual experience.
For myself if I am honest it was a combination of the two.
I was already disenfranchised with most of what I saw happening in the Family and in the direction it was going.
If you read my writings posted at http://steve1.wordpress.com you will understand this, but it my case it took the death of my dear daughter to fully drive this home.
As I stated in 'Voice in the Wilderness 1' my prayer for Maria would be that after the death of her own son she too might come to the same realisation.
I sent this writing to her personally but recieved no feed back, whether or not she actually read it or not I don't know.
I am glad that you have a desire to help others, may God Bless and keep you and continue to help you to help others.
Much love
Steve.
