It's time people to act! We have to act now. We can unite and make a difference.
Join in the fight to expose the doctrines. Joining in will help make changes for everyone. Think about the family members you may have had to leave behind because they are told to shun you, think about the blood issue, and women being treated as not equals. There are so many changes that are needed. There are good people here, you all have the power in your hands. If you only knew how much power you have. Let's make changes. They are teaching doctrines of menopausal men.
TR Let's try it together. United people can go a long , long way.
If you are too scared to speak up for yourself in the congregation don't come here talking that shit to me. If you don't believe me I really don't give a damn I don't have time for that childish shit. I am here asking for those who want to join in and make a difference. You say what you have to say and I will do what I have to do. No one is forced to join in.
MyMy,
First, I would like to say that I admire your passion. Properly channeled, I believe it could be another effective tool in the fight.
I, personally, am also willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and accept what you have said at face value.
That being said…..
I have been posting here for about 9 months. I was dropping in to read the posts of others for several months prior to that. I have probably read hundreds, if not thousands of posts over that time, and you sir, have the privilege of being the very first person to ROYALLY PISS ME OFF!!
I am going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that it is just eagerness and passion that are the root of your overwhelming condescension and patronization of the members of this board.
How dare you come here and ask us to “join in the fight”.
As a group, the members of this board have been fighting. We have been railing, screaming, and fighting.
Some of us have been fighting for longer than you have been a member of the WTBS.
We have been writing letters and talking to lawyers and media, telling our stories over and over. We have been building, maintaining and financing websites. We have been researching issues. Calling, emailing and basically making life miserable for anyone and everyone who has information that could help us. We have been thinking and praying and writing exhaustively. We have been confronting family and friends. We have racked our brains and spilled our guts and exposed our souls.
We have sacrificed our families, lost our friends and humbled ourselves to our former enemies. We have been called liars, and fools and heathens. We have left jobs and homes. We have children who don’t know that we haven’t left them. We have broken hearts, battered spirits and all of the wounds that war requires.
We may have disagreements and doubts, but we have courage and compassion. We may knock each other down, but there is ALWAYS an outstretched hand to pick us back up. There are those of us who have found peace and those of us who are afraid that we never will.
Our stories are different, and yet every one the same. Each of us is unique but there is one knowledge that we share, one thing that we have all joined …..the fight.
And we would graciously invite you to join us.
I know that I am being presumptuous. No one appointed me the board spokesperson, but I couldn’t help it …… I love you guys. (If you must flame me … please be gentle. It’s my first time).
