Did you ever notice how serious I post on this board?
It's interesting to me, but I haven't tried to make any friends. That is because when I first left, I had a somewhat negative experience meeting someone on a JW board...(I am just saying that, it isn't the point of this thread...)
But I can sense that I need to lighten up. No matter where we stand as to our personal opinions on politics, religion, football (GO STEELERS) they are just that, our thoughts. I don't know about you, but I gave up thinking the world revolved around me a long time ago...
I have gotten into a couple of debates with Perry and Burn the Ships, which I have enjoyed. When I first joined JWD, I had a long debate with Auld Soul.... (oh the memories)
To me, debating different views helps me to grow, and doesn't get me too upset. I try not to antagonize, but if I do, I apologize. Not for my views, but for causing hurt feelings.
I should probably joke more then I do. I will look into that.... lol. In any case, its good for us ex JW's, and current JW's to know there are people who understand, and help the best they can. Thats what I try to do.
Wishing everyone the best, as always!
