Just looked at the stats for this blog - the majority of you are Mac owners!! cool. 77% of you in fact.
But although many people are reading this blog - only a few of you are commenting - I would be very interested to hear what you think I should be focussing on! What is the one thing you would like to tell the world? That is what the BBC interviewer asked me.
So get talking!

The first interview
I have finally managed to do the first interview - ended up being in two parts. It felt quite strange - having to keep quiet really and letting the interviewee speak as he wished instead of joining in and making a conversation out of it. I wanted to comment, compare my experiences and so on but I had to bracket those off and try to make sense of my interviewees experiences. What did they mean to him - not what do they mean to me.
He was a good first person to interview because he just kept on talking and it was all good, clear and interesting - many thanks.
One thing that struck me was how different his experience of leaving was to mine - I did not choose to leave but simply left when my parents left. He chose to leave, planned for it, and yet still it was very difficult and still is. Of course the Exclusive Brethren will put this down to the struggle he is going through because he has left the one and only true path. My brother exhorts me to give up my battle "You will find He is not against you despite everything you may have done against Him. Just repent and prove the riches of His love and grace towards you. His attitude is the same as it ever was – only one of blessing, and this will continue until time, not grace, runs out."
Some of the things my interviewee talked about resonated for me and I have continued to process these - parallels in my own life. My next hurdle after transcribing the interview is to analyse it and again I must put my own experiences to one side when I do so.
I am looking for someone to test the online questionnaires now - but I think I need to look at them first... when i have time!
