I will try to make this brief but how can you abbreviate love and kindness? This is truly amazing!!!!
As many you have seen I ran into a small glitch on the forum the last couple of threads, without going into detail and really not necessary as there have been plenty of comments and views on both threads, I was willing to walk away from the forum because this is my nature as Paul said in
1 Cor 10:23, 24, 33a You say, “I am allowed to do anything"—but not everything is good for you. You say, “I am allowed to do anything”—but not everything is beneficial. 24 Don’t be concerned for your own good but for the good of others. 33 I, too, try to please everyone in everything I do. I don’t just do what is best for me;
How is all this amazing? Most of us were either in the organization or may still be, we were bombarded with how loving the organization/brothers were only to be completely left down, so disillusioned, so hurt, so scorned, so damaged when we realized the love that we were told about only existed on paper, only in the imagination, only in theory many times. And yet Christ said by this all will know you are my disciples IF you have love among yourselves.
It completely amazes me how loving everyone here has been in their posts, PM’s, and even emails. I want to thank many who helped me during this time from
LonelySheep, BlackSwan, AnewMe, Juni, Tweety, Tall Penguin, Quixote, Madame Quixote, MisAnthropic, AlmostAtheist, FoundMyWay, Jgnat, ExWitless, Toreador, Blondie, Abandoned, Good GirlBadGirl, JWDaughter, Bernadette, OnaCruse,FrannieBan, Karnage, 5Go and many others who were more than kind in their words of comfort.
*******Do you likewise find this amazing, how people from all over, the ones the organization said were not worthy to a part of; can show more kindness, fellow feeling, love and even within the confounds of problems, that people can work things out with a spirit of Christianity, maturity, and can come together and ‘put things straight" in love, with speed of time and to do so as it should have been done.*******
I want to thank everyone for the forum and how people can get together and show the love that Christ talked about, and what really amazes me
We have never met, we have known each other for only a couple of months, all these so called "misfits, apostates, unworthy people, these outcasts" can get it right, when the ones who claim to have the truth cannot.
Thank you again my friends and family, thanks for wanting me to stay, that is more than the people I knew, served, slaved for 22 years wanted.
