Maybe this is why confessions, apologies, and asking for forgiveness when we feel we've done or said something wrong is a good thing.
It's like wiping the dirty slate clean.....lol...no, seriously.
It has been interesting to see the over-reaction to this thread, which as Outlaw mentioned was simply a tongue in cheek reminder that in the Internet world we are inhabiting here, we are what we write and what we write stands immortal and visible. If anything it was an appeal not to take ourselves seriously, not to inspire such posts as the one I quote below.
I mean read this....lol....it is hilarious, and it is caught in the Internet web for ever ;):
So now we are supposed to be in fear that when we speak our minds we need to be careful that we don't offend anyone, the Watchtower, you, including God or else their will be punishment handed out. Punishment like all kinds of sicknesses, all types of dieases, sufferings, growing old and incapatitated and finally death. And this happens to those who try to live a good a life.
Why is there to be a sobering reminder of what we do and say on this site? What else can we be punished for that has not already been done by God or other humans? We live in fear of ,do it my way or else. I command you to love me, I command you to love others. A command to do something is imposed upon you or else you will pay the price of disobeying that command.
Yes, be very afraid, be very afraid. Watch what you say and print, you are being recorded. It will come back to bite you in the ass. Well start biting, death is on the way no matter what you say or print. Threaths don't work anymore. Stop trying to control me.
lol.."Stop trying to control me"...lol. People wonder why I seldom, if ever take what is offered on this Board seriously these days. As I mentioned in another post, every new subscriber should pick up their medication on the way in, that is if they are not already up to their gizzards in chemicals.
I have written many things. I recall that you once said to me on my music thread that none of this matters when we are gone. You might be having second thoughts. I know I do.
lol....Tyrone, no I am not having second thoughts, to do so would be to challenge fact. Frankly I seldom have first thoughts and neither do most people, though of course all think they do.
