Ten years ago I was a guest on a radio program aired in the UK. The way it came about, someone on the old discussion board had some connection to the host, Justin Brierley. Justin had been trying to arrange for a representative of the Watchtower to come on his show for a chat. The Watchtower declined. So, they asked me. I rejected it at first because I am disfellowshipped. But Justin said that was okay since I still believed the basic doctrines. So, I accepted. Here is Justin's Twitter page
I was not really told what the subject was going to be. There was an ex-JW in the studio who was all prepped. The way it was going to work, Justin wanted to record two programs at the same time. I was expected to hook up with them at their convenience. Since there is a five-hour time difference between Detroit and London I had to get online at 5 in the morning. That's fine. I have always been an early riser. Unfortunately, the night before a wicked summer storm blew up and knocked the power out. We sat in the dark for a few hours hoping the electricity would come back. It didn't and the house was so stifling we could not sleep. So, we went to a nearby hotel that had power. About 3 in the morning I called the house to see if the answering machine answered (before voice mail) and it did. So I went back to the house to do the program. I had only had a couple of hours of sleep and I wasn't very sharp. I haven't listened to it since it was recorded 10 years ago. I just remember being off my game.
Anyway, someone contacted me a few days ago and suggested that I make the programs available to others. So, here are the links
