Were You Ever Afraid That You Might've Made The Wrong Decision In Leaving??

    "Perhaps minimus posed the question so that we could share with our lurking brothers and sisters our absolute confidence that we've made the right decision about abandoning the illusion that is JWism?

    That may or may not be true, but I
    wanted mimimus to offer the answer.
    No offense nvrgnbk.

    minimus, I sensed your offense and
    your aversion to the questions that
    is why I repeated them to make sure
    that you were reading them correctly.

    Nothing personal, I see your discom-
    fort. However, for an individual to
    ask as many questions and then become
    uncomfortable when asked questions in
    return, makes me question the sincerity
    of the threads.

    Respectfully,

    minimus:

    when i said that (99.44%) my tongue was firmly planted in my cheek. I'm 100% in mind that WT is dead wrong.

    Anything the Borg might get "right" is much like 1000 monkeys typing on 1000 keyboards for 1000 years....yes, they might get a few words, maybe even a weird sentence...but any clear words is strictly an accident...and that is not the same as writing a book. (plus, what a hell of a stinky room with all those monkeys with carpal tunnel around those computers....kind of like the writing department at Bethel, eh? PU!)

    My mind is 100% but my heart feels like a fish out of water.

    I agree with what thepackage said above.

    as I said on another thread, I stay IN for the sake of my mom and some close friends. I dont want them to be forced by the Borg to make that incredibly hard (and stupid) decision to shun me. It would break their hearts. Mom would not shun me, but my closest friends here would be forced to do so. They would be forced to love me from afar, because that is what they we as good little dubbies are told to do. I have spoken to some D/F individuals since starting my fade, but yes, they understand why I have to do so on the sly (by phone). They are appreciative that I still want to be their friend and not reject them outright. They understand that they too are expected not to talk to other d/f individuals if they ever want to be reinstated. (so they cant talk to good standing dubs, they cant talk to bad standing dubs, and they are not supposed to associate with the world... WTF kind of crazy is that?)

    I've been criticized on this board before for taking this split personality way of fading, and I accept that. If you were able to jump ship...yay for you...as for me...I have to do as I am doing.

    so, WT: 100% wrong. My heart: pines for my closest friends to see "the real light" and get out.....cant ever get a chance to "help" them if they won't even talk to me.

    No offense nvrgnbk.

    I am not offended Richard. I have great respect for you.

    Are you suggesting that the explanation I offered was unwelcome?

    As the question was posed by you in a thread and not via pm, I feel comfortable offering it.

    Dear nvrgnbk:

    "Are you suggesting that the explanation I offered was unwelcome?"-nbrgnbk

    No, not at all, I just wanted to engage in a
    conversation with minimus and see what he had
    to offer regarding the thread title if it
    "never" crossed his mind.

    I tend to question things when they seem
    to conflict. It has been my protection.

    Respectfull toward you nvrgnbk.

    Richard

    Richard, I wasn't offended by your continuous question. I answered it everytime and I tried to clarify it for you but it seems you don't understand what I'm saying. I didn't feel aversion to your continuous question but I don't know what you expect from my response other than the truth that I have expressed. Whether you believe my answer or you feel it too unlikely, that ain't my problem.

    My "discomfort" comes from answering your questions and then you continuing to ask them again, as if I never responded. If you feel my threads are insincere because of this exchange, that is your business. You probably will not understand this response either but it's ok. I've gotten use to it.

    Are you 100% sure that leaving the Organization was the right decision?

    I'm not even 100% sure that I exist. This could be a dream, or I could be a character in someone's novel. Warlock

    NVRGB, just so that you know, most of my threads have lurkers in mind. I want them to understand that this isn't "The Truth".

    Perhaps you are a butterfly dreaming that you walk as a man,......
