Can You Believe This Kingdom Hall?
It's weird but this thought came to me sometime way too early in the morning to make any sense then, and that was this discussion board is really a virtual model of the Kingdom Hall that we all wanted to see in real time but never will.
Here, we have anyone get up on the stage regardless of sex, experience or rank, and they make their presentation. It can be about, and almost always is, nearly any topic. The main difference is here that people don't just take what you say on face value if they think you are wrong. Further, if what you say really pisses people off, you can expect to get trashed, regardless of the validity of your point.
Not that this is a bad thing. It helps us deal with the unfinished emotional business that we all got burned by as dubs, and that can be a good thing.
The only real revelation to me though is that you can't expect to make a post about your beliefs without it being challenged. There is no collective agreement here that anyone is right. Thus to expect the participants here to play nice as Simon often says is kinda wishful thinking. The people here, and probably more so than other discussion communities, are extra sensitive to anything they suspect of being a lie, spin job, or preaching from someone.
But life goes on, let the games continue, and as Englishman so fondly says bring on the dancing girls!
