The two incidents that the two of you created left an indelible mark. I’m not sure if either one of you will even read this post.
Trevor:
When I first heard about your hoax I wanted to believe that there was a mix up. I haven’t been here that long but when you mentioned that your wife was dying of cancer, I along with a lot of people, felt compassion for you. I lost a brother in law to cancer so I knew a little about how you would feel.You had been here more than two years. You seemed genuine. I went over some of your posts and Linda’s? posts. After the fact it didn’t take much to realize that you had similar styles.
When I first saw your picture with the scribbled hair I got angry. It was like in your face you fools. But something kept nagging. Now maybe I’m still the fool. Many, like me, feel that you aren’t well and in need of help. That still stands.
But I don’t think that you would physically harm anyone. I still don’t want anyone to take their guard down though just in case. The picture now shows a very sad and lonely man. As people we tend to have a mob mentality. I’ve witnessed it before, and I’ve witnessed it here. I was a part of that.
There is still a small part of me that says that you deliberately set this up to show how gullible and how easily swayed people are. But the bigger part of me thinks that you are in a lot of pain. I may get flack from this post but right now my concern is for you.
During your time of grief I prayed for you even though you were an atheist. I will now continue to pray for you, that you will find the peace, that God will hold you tight and protect you in your time of need, that you will be guided to people that will help you. But don't seek the help here. The trust is broken. We don't know if you will continue to play games with us. Please take care of yourself.
Danny: First I want to say that I don’t condone what you did to those men. I saw the video and it didn’t seem that there was a trigger. It looked premeditated. But what do I know about post-traumatic stress. It looked you were in combat mode but you also looked rather calm and with purpose; not someone falling apart. These are just my observations and I’m not going to play psychiatrist here.
I do think that you, and Trevor, are in a lot of pain. Maybe some of it was the result of the Witness Org. But the fact is that people are hurting that have never been a part of this org. I think that the witnesses are led to believe that they are unique and some carry it on even when they break away from this org. People hurt period. Like Trevor, I do hope you get some help with this. Maybe you already are. I’m not saying this out of maliciousness or even conceit. I’m hurting right now and I’m going to get some help to cope with it. I will pray for you too that you will come to terms with what has been done to you, so that you and your family can have the life that one deserves.
