Also Zid, if you read my blog closer you would see that I wasn't necessarily agreeing with Russell. I was just saying that his claims at the beginning of the book and his attitude towards other religions was not what the organization turned into today. He claimed to only be trying to counter evolution on godlessness. But of course we all know that further on in the book it proves otherwise. I said as much in that post. I'm sorry that my post was not up to your standards of what the library was to be used for.
I'm sending your books back. I actually don't have any desire to read anymore of the garbage. It's really all just junk and I want to put my focus into the Bible instead of the old WT books. Your books are still in the same box and in the same condition that you sent them in.
Thanks Mouthy. My wife is recovering. She is on anti depressants now and is trying to get a handle on things. We don't talk about anything religious anymore and I am just going to meetings to be supportive. I think that is what she needs right now.
I haven't gotten too personal here but I hope you are your wife heal! You have a lot of people that care. even if it is cyberspace. Sounds like you have made some friends too. peace to you
So sorry brotherdan with what's going on, between you, your wife, and the borg. I don't know you all that well but you confirmed what I suspected, that your life is a living hell right now. All the best to you, you are both in my thoughts and prayers.

I think some communication wires got crossed here
no need to turn this around and bash Zid, if you could
keep in touch with one poster, couldn't you keep in contact
with Zid, who showed kindness and trust to a complete stranger
you are not the first poster here who happens to be goin' through
somethin' and occasionally check back in, coffee_black is a good example
hope she don't mind me usin' her as such. So if there are any apologies
to be made it could go both ways.
wasblind, brotherdan has explained his wife was in hospital having tried to commit suicide. He isn't bashing Zid - no one is bashing Zid.
I think this should be a forgive and be forgiven scenario, for and from everyone. That is the only true way to 'free' everyone, releasing them from the subsequent guilt or anger.
We all make mistakes. At one point or another, I think everyone here has judged another person unjustly. Forgive, and try to learn from mistakes seems best. In fact I think it is the only Way.

Zid, don't let this get you down. You acted emotionally as we all do, and I especially.
That said, maybe brodan isn't a sociopath, but he did turn his back on a community that embraced him and that's where all this animosity is stemming from , not the library fiasco.

Ah, the dangers of Judging...will we ever learn?
Probably not.
I tend to agree. It's a bad habit that's hard to be rid of but it's possible if one tries.
