Waiting,
Please don't. I wrote my piece that started this thread from my heart-of-hearts. Your comments belong on your own thread and I cannot believe you would drag them in here, since they are so off-topic to my thread and what I'm trying to convey.
Please don't.

Farkel,
I won't. I didn't mean anything by what I wrote. I retract fully.
I will go back immediately and edit my post so that no mention of tina is ever mentioned. The good feelings that some of us were having won't be effected, and no offense was meant to Tina.
Will that suffice?

As a result of my long tenure as a JW I know that I am Nucking Futs!
Sorry Farkel,
As you can see by my name change to "waiting1" - I've used up a lot of posts on the "word association thread" - therefore, I can't edit my post to delete any mention of Tina. Just a joking kind of thread - which I mistakenly thought this was too.
I was joking with uncle bruce. I am genuinely sat back on my heels that I have offended anybody. And I've apologized already.
It was not my intent to offend - anybody, anywhere, in the universe.
It is a shame.

Farkel,
You said,
As a result, we have to constantly recognize what we have in common (being screwed up) and deal with it and not fret so much over what we don't have in common, IMO. We have to show more tolerance and respect for our differences, and we constantly have to work on developing that "love" for each other that we never had as dubs. It is our duty, no, it is our OBLIGATION to rise above our sordid pasts and let our lives be the examples of compassion and understanding that we never had as JWs.
I agree and I enjoyed your entire post.
These were the kinds of things I was thinking earlier today when I posted the thread, What Is Your Real JWD Personality.
I think it is helpful to try to understand others but I feel we also need to look within ourselves.
There's always room for growth and improvement.

I get my real pic posted illegally last night, and farkel's worried about a mere thread. Shheesh.....
Btw, Farkel,
I was going to respond - seriously - to your thread this morning, but decided against it because of my personal outlook. You made good points in an incomplete way.
Sure, most jw's were hurt in some way by their experience. But then, most people don't get through life without being hurt by whatever experience they have experienced.
To single out jw's as somehow needing more love, more understanding, because of being screwed by their experience over jews, mormons, taliban believers, whatever, doesn't quite *do.* Of course, most of those don't come on this forum ---- but to say that jw's or x-jw's are more nuts than the average person might be able to be discussed.
Personally, I'd trade growing up with my father against an average jw father about any time. And he was an atheist - just a perverted one.
My point being........no matter what our upbringing, our outlook, we can still extend civility, manners, persuasion, to others. And as you brought out, it is important.
Take care - and it wasn't my intention to hurt your thread.

Of course, me lady! Any friend of Max is a life-long friend of mine.
Farkel, who is wondering how to write something to help make Waiting laugh in his next post...
Take care, Farkel.
Good night.

Prisca,
I'm still the nice guy and I also saw your pic, and I don't give a rat, and I appreciate your generosity and I will MESS UP anyone who messes with you henceforth as a result. Just be the best you can be, and give the most positive things you can give, Prisca. This is our nobility. Everything else is dogshit.
Oh, BTW, Prisca: don't stir up shit for the simple reason that you want to stir up shit. Just research and produce good information we can discuss and deal with, or at least, just make comments that deal with JW issues. We were ALL dubs, yes?
Anyway, it's your choice. Make it wisely.
Farkel
