As stated earlier, in Question 3, I demonstrated my devotion to my beliefs when, while considering the truthfulness of christian nonviolence, rid myself of all violent media and violent media projects, began attendance at an Historic Peace Church, and sought relevant literature, the reading of which would demonstrate, in a tangible way, my intellectual labor for the cause. But more demonstrative of all these, I firmly believe, is the way my basic day has changed. That I spend virtually all of my free time on the matter, that I discuss it openly and exhaustively with my lifelong friends for untold hours, calling them so often that their strain from my demanding obsession is evident in their gracious voices, I believe is perhaps the surest proof of my genuineness. Or perhaps my sincerity is best demonstrated by the fact that I have given 40% of my paycheck to the Quaker House (which assists conscientious objectors) and the Anti-War Committee, since mid-March, since then I began to no longer be able to stand to accept money for a cause I don't believe in, save what I need to pay preexisting bills, to which I am legally bound (I have included receipts of my donations, as well as copies of my LESs to prove the amounts given are, in fact, 40% of my net pay).
