Living, breathing people.....our peers, who walked in the love and grace of God....were THE REASON TO MAKE THE JOURNEY and arrive at the destination, at hq for the roa.
I do remember once during a ROA when it was pouring rain during a teaching and the tents were filled with people trying to stay out of the rain.
I briefly took shelter under a doorway of one of the buildings (the door was closed and most likely locked but I was shielded from rain). One of the security people just turned and stared at me as if I was doing something awful...staring at me...as if...how dare I get out of the rain and next to a building.
Strange encounter. He made me feel as if I should step back out into the rain. Then, after almost doing that, I decided to lean against the building and stare right back at him. There was a staring contest for about ten seconds before I decided to take my hands from my pocket and motion for him to turn around, giving him the most hostile look I could summon. I made a move in his direction to go and just ask what his problem was and what was his justification for staring at me. He finally turned away and didn't look back. This was happening just at the time I was deciding to leave TWI anyway. This was another reason in a number of reasons to revolt in those days.

Nope they sure weren't Sky...
Sorry for derailing your thread here Sky...I got a little carried away with my psycho-babble.
