Hello,
Or should I say goodbye folks. My posting days on XJW sites are over.
Thanks to everybody for making this place so vibrant, informative and at times invigorating. An special thanks of course to Simon and Angharad, of whom too many expected too much and who, despite our differing viewpoints at times, have been trustworthy friends to me. I hope that life will be very kind to them both.
I have re-disovered some old friends here, "Duncan" whom I was at school with too long ago to admit too publicly. We both posted here on JWD for a long while before we realized who was whom, as he had no idea that I had left the WTS.
And newer friends, Stilla, whose JW mentor I pioneered with in the 70's. TJKMO who proudly boasted that the wife of a mutual close friend had a crush on him not realizing that she once had a crush on me too and it was not as rare an occurrence as he may have thought. ;) lol..Never did tell ya that did I tjkmo. Japan Boy who once sat in my group while I poisoned the minds of the believers. Funky Derek whose dad was not unkown to me.
The gifted AlanF, the Magnificent Andersons, my old chum Outlaw, the kind and gracious Ginny Tosken, the challenging and unique SevenofNine, Belbab and beautiful missus, the gentle Cog, Steve, Joyazabel and their beautiful daughter, - I had better stop now before the Oscar is driven into my skull with an alarming force by BurnTheShips.
You all know who you are and you have all played a wonderful part in my life, for which I thank you all.
It is always easier to say it with music. Those who know, know:
And one from my dearly departed friend Laura:
