    If the Big News is legit, someone will file suit and win.

    If it is the Big Snooze one of the above will not happen.

    Nothing we do or say here will bear on the outcome of the above.

    If you think it is the Big News, by all means promote it as such.

    If you think it is the Big Snooze, then don't. If you think all the Big News promoters are morons, why is it any skin off yours if they promote this?

    I just don't see what all the disagreement is about. We are all friends here right? We all long to see the tower fall right?

    Why get all worked up. Let the coming events speak for themselves.

    I think that some people feel very helpless in their fight with the WT and in their efforts to 'make things right' with family. Some though that this was going to be something it was never touted to be, that is, a end of the WT. A Org Killer... A Liberator...

    In fact, for those of you who believe in Christainity, isn't that exactly why the point was missed with Jesus? The people were looking for a mighty ruler that would deliver them from the Roman yolk?

    Hmmmm... A stretch, I know... Probably a bad analogy... However, I think it is similar in that a lot of people are turning this away when it is a good thing because they were expecting the Org Killer...

    CYP - As usual, you have cut to the chase. I like that quality in a gunslinger.

    Those who have been hurt by the WT express it variously through:

    • anger
    • sadness
    • rage
    • self-pity
    • fury
    • denial
    • resentment
    • humor
    • did I mention anger?
    • did I mention rage?
    • did I mention fury?
    • did I mention murderous rage?

    Those who are disappointed in the Big News are probably those who are most intimidated by the power of the WT.

    Rock on.

    Cheezy, of the murderously enraged class.

    What I don't understand is why people are getting so upset about this news. Whether it means something to you or not!

    No one really knows what may come of this..but what we do know is that a major university has felt this Tort fit to print. They aren't being the usual frady cats when it comes to the JW's. Someone actually got up off their butts and did something - which is more than most of us on this discussion forum have ever done.

    There are a handful of very ardent activists who I would break bread with anytime.

    I know this is a free country but that doesn't mean that you should say anything and everything that pops into your mind. Isn't it okay to just be quiet and wait for a couple of days or weeks to see what happens from this? Why can't people just be nice instead of writing whatever they feel?

    And for those of you who will invariably say...I lived under the watchtower rule for _______years of my life - I can say whatever I want now. Did you forget about being kind and doing unto others since you left the WTS? Would you like to see 10 or 20 forum topics bashing what you thought was important.

    This used to be one of my favorite places to be and read...now I just feel irritated with all the rude and nasty behavior.

    Wow!!! I can't believe you just said that!

    We don't have to believe that the Big News promoters are morons, to think that it's not Big News. However, we have every right to post our viewpoints as they have to post theirs. I, for one, am hoping to get people to see the other side of the coin and how it may look to others, to keep us all from looking like morons!!! But unless I get kicked off of this site for not following the rules, then I have a right to my opinion and the right to express it as much as anyone else on this board.

    Thank you very much,

    Swalker
