Jan,
Part of the answer, for me, is simply the overwhelming amount of exposure, and what is does to your brain. It's not easy to shake off:
21 years of involvement, which included:
-attending approximately 4000 church services, meetings (elders meetings, young adult meetings, specially called meetings to find out why so and so is being disciplined/set out of the fellowship etc.)
-approximately 4000 hours maintaining churches/Kingdom facilities, a few leaders homes
-endless hours listening to audio tapes, reading This Weeks, interceding, admonishing ministries to go light on the alcohol, setting aside my religiosity and getting drunk with ministries--resulting in bolder and more insightful words from God to the sheep...
-raising a family and sustaining a marriage
-earning a decent income to facilitate the goals of the family, which included college educations (done)
All this takes a toll!
