Kind of a sad but inevitable end to a special and unique place on the net. Free speech is severely limited in the truth, and the wide range of opinion and viewpoint between the old school and the new school i'm sure made operating such a site a challenge.
For me the most facinating thing was the way one could see thinking troubled witnesses contrasted with the ones who were the mindless products of an organization. I think it was a valuable window into the worldwide picture of what is happening today in the religion.
The site was helpful to me, and for that it holds a special place with me. It let me toss out ideas and get feedback, to connect with alot of people. I know there are many people being tormented by their thoughts as they try to work through this.
I thank obed, not only for the work put into the site, but also for his personal assistance during what was clearly a turning point in my life, the change in me from simply asking the questions to me being honest with myself and accepting the answers.
Its very difficult "pretending". Yet for most of us, that is what we do many times. Its tiring. I give him credit in the end for his honesty and last courageous farewell message. [url] http://discussion.witnesses.net/Forum67/private-8QWKRq0/HTML/000179-10.html[/url]
