    The beautiful thing about being an ex jw and coming to this board is that you learn to deal with people. In the org., we never really did. I've learned so much about how to communicate here at JWD. I've also learned that it's not the end of the world when we get flamed or someone doesn't agree. I used to get irritated with certain people over certain subjects. Now some of those people are the ones that I like the best and like me the best.

    Don't take yourself or others too seriously here. People usually evolve a lot and go through a transformation, or several transformations, when they come to JWD. Just look at anyone's beginning posts, if they've been here a while. Most people change for the better.

    I agree with flyinghigh. Hope no one hurt your feelings wanderer. I have found myself in some pretty fierce debates too and thats o.k. with me as long as everyone is allowed to express what they want on the subject. What I object to is name calling or trying to make someone feel stupid for believing what they do. The mixture here is pretty diverse which I think adds a good flavor to the forum. Lilly

    Wanderer. Maybe I missed your re-introduction, but less than 2 weeks ago you said:

    I have decided that after nearly 100 written articles that this will
    probably be my last.

    and:

    I will be around to post from time to time, and I will remain in
    contact with the board, but the articles will cease to exist.

    What gives? (Just wondering, not criticizing)

    Dear exwitless:

    That is a fair question. Two reasons, primarily
    one is that I really missed it. And, the second
    is that some individuals really liked the
    articles that I wrote and it seemed to
    help them.

    Respectfully,

    The Wanderer

    wanderer,

    don't leave! Your posts add a lot to the board and I know I speak for others too when I say we will miss having you here. Lilly

    I used to care what people said on the board. I used to love this one poster on this one board I went too, a real uneducated ass. They would always make dumb comments, even personal comments to people that were rude and people would agree with them sometimes in humor, or in some cases to irritate people. In the end, they grew into a troll and were banned. I just remember that before they did leave, people would go crazy on them, to the point that I had to believe it was affecting their personal life away from the board with the amount of emotions involved. I just see such things as words, and words can only hurt you if you let them.
