Actually, Farkel, I thought the words in your original post, coming from you, were a bit disingenuous and took your words as seriously as a three-dollar bill.
See, since March, I've gotten used to seeing you call people who disagreed with you, you know, those who are beneath you, "Dipfucks" over and over. I've seen you show a mercilessly debased disrespect toward women (one in particular who was/is supposedly your friend). I've seen you demonstrate an otherwise general INtolerance and outright ugliness for those whose opinions differed from yours.
Your personal history being what it is, it was (is) hard for me to put any stock into what you said here today, your thundering past behavior drowning out your flowery platitudes. Sorry, but I can't help thinking that your words are so much bullshit -- you know... sorta like the GB's "we are a united, worldwide brotherhood" bullshit.
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.
Goddamn... don't that sound loverly!! Sorry if I don't applaud you for the wonderful post.
I guess if I begin to see EVIDENCE that you actually believe the words you wrote and aren't simply swept up in some rhapsodic, emotional 'thing' of the moment, I will believe that you actually mean what you have said. Time will tell. Sorry, but for me it will take more than a single post of pretty words.
