    Kaethra,

    My first concern is for this board and those exJW's who post here. It doesn't bother me to admit that I have been fooled, my ego is not that fragile. Alan F, myself , and a few others have worked on trying to come to the truth in this matter. When something like this happens you want to believe people but you also do not want to be made a fool of. Sometimes it is a fine line between truth and fiction. It is easy to pass judgment and be skeptical of all things but I pride myself on keeping an open mind and looking for the truth. If what I believed to be true turns out to be false I have no problem saying so. The truth in any issue is more important than any one persons desire to be seen as right and that goes for me.

    I still feel that there is a very slim chance that some of this may be true. If I am wrong, then so be it. It is more important to me that this type of thing gets exposed on this board then for me to have some people tell me they told me so. I can take it, I'm a big boy.

    While this was going on I did not respond to some people who emailed me about this issue. To them I would like to say I am sorry. For those who helped in this matter I would like to say thank you for your trust in me and your help.

    Hopefully this issue is over and I have learned yet another lesson in life. I will not change my thoughts about being open minded and listening to all sides first, but I will be a little wiser the next time around. I have a great friend in life and that is Alan F. He listens to me as much as I listen to him and in this matter he was right.

    If I can look for some good in this whole matter it will be in the way of having the pleasure to speak with Bill Bowen and Barbara Anderson on the phone. They are truly incredibly people. I will take what ever criticism that comes my way and accept any negative thing said to me about my belief in this issue. Speaking with Bill and Barbara was well worth anything that can be said as a jab or negative comment to me.

    I guess you learn something new everyday. Having friends like Alan and his wife makes it all worth it. He has been trying to get me more involved with exJW issues for several years. I have always refused. Now that has changed. Now I see how important it is. Hoax or not, I am now going to get off my lazy ass and help Alan and others as much as I can.

    Take care,

    Dave

    It's irritating that we got sucked in, but some good comes out of it. Congratulations on getting deeper in xjwism. The wt tactics boomerang again.

    From what you said before, you had an interesting experience at brooklyn. I, for one, when you are ready, am interested in what lead up to it, more details of your work there, your dismissal, and exiting the org.

    So, I take it that "Danni" and "Darryl" could still be real people, and the meeting still could have happened, but the "fake" Danni told a bogus version of the meeting?? Confusing.

    TR,

    Your guess is as good as mine, probably even better.

    Tyydyy,

    Thanks, you were one of those who I meant that apology to go to. I appreciate your acceptance. Sometimes when your head is being fucked with, you make wrong decisions. I did just that.

    Thanks Tim,

    Dave

    Great comments, Dave! I'm glad this is now getting resolved.

    As for you, teejay, you simply confirm what I've seen from the beginning of your posting career: you're a hypocritical twit. You're a hypocrite because there was bashing of the other viewpoint going on from each direction. You're a twit because you're too stupid to realize your hypocrisy. Grow up.

    Thanks for the explanation, Dave. The fault is not with those of us who believed, or who didn't, but with those who, in the name of religion are willing to lie and attempt to deceive others.

    And yet they feel they are somehow "righteous" for doing so.

    Dave, when this stuff first happen'd I was brand new to this board. I really wasn't shure what to think about any of it. I got more snooty then I should have and then decided to just forget about it. Couldn't
    figure out who was playing what to who. It doesn't really matter
    anymore who believed who, I think any way, You were very calm and
    together in the way you handled your self and the hole situation
    and should pat yourself on the back or whatever Your pretty cool.
    plm

    Just one thing though after reading all that crap, I got this sick
    feeling in my gut. I'm getting all parinoid now afraid someone is
    going to be hacking into my computer and messing it up. I'm a little
    freaked out about it. Is there anyway they could start screwing with
    our e-mails like sending a viris or getting into our personal files
    accounts that sort of stuff?

    Alan,
    what in the hell are you doing with my picture under your name? I made my peace with teejay, I don't need him thinking I just called him a twit! Can't you find a better picture to play with? I just got knocked off line, that must be you trying to call.

    I am definitely kicking your ass when I see you next Christmas!

    I think I need a drink!

    Dave

    Red horsywoman,

    Thanks woman, You are someone that I will always respect and look up to. Even though you give me so much shit on Randy's board. I guess I deserve it.

    Big hug,

    Dave

    Hey Dave,

    What a rotten piece of bum cake. I hate it when things like this happen and lots of good people collectively bend over and grab their ankles and sorry to see that you were one of them. Well, in a way I guess it makes it tougher for us to be taken in again and before long we will be chewing nails for breakfast, but I have to say I agree with you being open enough to look at things and see what the evidence says vs. what our emotional buttons are telling us.

    If we do find out who pulled this shitstorm off, I say it is time for some payback of our own. Let me know when to lock and load.

    Kind Regards,

    Skipper
