Do You Really Care About the People On Here? (page 8)

Mad Sweeney

I don't wear my feelings on my sleeve...except maybe some cynicism or anger.

I don't always post on threads where someone has shared a tragedy or bad luck. I feel like if I post on one then I should be fair and post on all, so I tend to not post at all, unless it's someone I'm really familiar with or a long-time poster I admire.

I have been accused of being hard-hearted and uncaring but while I may not show it...or post it, I am touched by the bad things I read people are going through and I do feel for those going through tough situations.

In return, I try to not burden anyone with my trials and tribulations. I try to keep my experiences shared here related to the JW aspect of life. My other issues aren't ya'lls problem...

Holy crap! We need to meet sometime. We are so much alike.

LOVE for John Doe???

I kinda sorta "care" about him... But mostly in a "sure, I care for that obnoxious guy - I wouldn't run over him with my car...!" sorta way...

Crap, how could I forget Flipper?? And DGP? And james_woods - one of my favorite actors... And Mad Sweeney!! And RocketMan, and Darth, and Justitia, and uhm....

Yes, I do care about most of the people posting on this board - and it's a bit frustrating, at times... When I saw [uhm, names again!!] Peaches?? No, Butterfly! When I saw her capitulating to pressure and submerging herself into the Watchtower Society again - to please family and friends - I felt so helpless... There was absolutely nothing I could say or do to prevent that...

I worry about board members, at times... ASilentOne worries me; I wonder whether he'll ever find true love and happiness - or be arrested for a sexual offense... (Hope he doesn't see this comment!!)

I worry about those who don't have the same viewpoint that I do - which is a bit silly and over-protective, but since I consider religion to be of dubious value to human life, it does worry me when I see some on-board getting WAAAAY too wrapped up in their own personal 'Savior' - or deity...

I really worry about those having to deal with sexual predators within the congregation... Or the aftermath... Or those having to 'play a part' to remain in contact with their "active-JW" relatives... Or those who are still JWs and are secretly gay and struggling with the difficulties of keeping that secret... Or those who have believing mates or children, who are trying to wake them up to the mind-control that they're under...

Come to think of it, I do a heck-uva-lot of worrying about some people on-board...

That's what happens when you try naming names.

I just say all or some.

LOL.

I quit!

I care about the people on this board but it is strange relationship most of have here in that we don't know each other in real life and we only recognise each other by the funny little pictures on or icons. Plus people come and go and often you don't know where. I haven't been able to connect since last Friday when I left my usb wifi thing a Borders and a girl that works there found it and took it home with her when she forgot it in her apron. I still haven't got it back so I'm at Panera bakery connecting today but probably know one even noticed. Just the way it is with this form of communication but I don't think it means people don't care, it just different than people we know face to face.

And I do care about you Mrs Jones. I enjoy your posts and think your pretty cool.

Well, I haven't been posting long so haven't got to know many people that well. However, I do somehow already feel close to some and I do care about them and their lives. They have given so much of their time to this site, helping others who like me at times have suffered severe depression or other associated problems. They have gone through similar and continue to give back to others.

Thank you seems inadequate

I would dearly love to meet some of them, maybe one day, who knows?

Some I do. Some I don't. Like the rest of life.

I care about the ones that are authentic and genuine in their life's journey, in their quests, in their joys and sorrows.

I care about the compassionate ones.

I care about the ones being victimized, or forced to live lives of quiet desperation.

I have no time for those happily trapped in their own hate* - on my way to better things, as The *Guess* Who sing.

EDIT: * by that I mean much of what passes for political comment here
