    That he can be equally capable of serious debate, humorous exchange, trivia, empathetic support?

    Well said Crumpet - Very true.

    Being serious all the time of just Jehovah’s Witness bashing can get boring. It is good to see the humour in people being expressed.

    It all depends on whether we are trying to cultivate a web persona or are brave enough to just be ourselves.

    no goodbyes or swansongs for me, and I have been severely inactive for some time. Most of the posters (thread author excepted) that interested me are long since gone ... so I cruise through very infrequently. HOWEVER, who gives a fig if someone wants to construct a good-bye? a little thread with some words of explanation...no skin off my nose. If it is something I don't think I'm interested in, I apply the same self-management/censorship I do with television, the ringing telephone, the buzzing doorbell ... *you get my drift* ... and I IGNORE IT! I say refer to The Four Agreements: Don't take things personally. Don't make assumptions. Be Impeccable. *the 4th one don't apply, if ya want to know it look it up yer dam self* and bisous' most favorite: Live and Let Live! *sends friendly muah's to the ever stimulating LT*

    Don't you think it might have to do with people who spend a lot of time here, breaking away when they realize it is becoming to important in their life.

    Greetings All,

    This thread reminds me of Sinatra, he said it best. And now, the end is near;
    And so I face the final curtain.
    My friend, Ill say it clear,
    Ill state my case, of which Im certain.

    Ive lived a life thats full.
    Ive traveled each and evry highway;
    And more, much more than this,
    I did it my way.

    Regrets, Ive had a few;
    But then again, too few to mention.
    I did what I had to do
    And saw it through without exemption.

    I planned each charted course;
    Each careful step along the byway,
    But more, much more than this,
    I did it my way.

    Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew
    When I bit off more than I could chew.
    But through it all, when there was doubt,
    I ate it up and spit it out.
    I faced it all and I stood tall;
    And did it my way.

    Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried.
    Ive had my fill; my share of losing.
    And now, as tears subside,
    I find it all so amusing.

    To think I did all that;
    And may I say - not in a shy way,
    No, oh no not me,
    I did it my way.

    For what is a man, what has he got?
    If not himself, then he has naught.
    To say the things he truly feels;
    And not the words of one who kneels.
    The record shows I took the blows -
    And did it my way! Dismembered
