A time for reflection and compilation

    It has been my one of my greatest honors to post here on this forum. I arrived almost 2 years ago looking desperately for some ears to listen. That is exactly what you gave me and more. Shortly after arriving here I found out that I had much to learn and therefore I have always constructed my posts in a way that I felt would get a response that would teach me something. They might not always appear so, but under the rhetoric, contention, endless speculation and theorizing my intention has always been to learn, to teach and to make friends. No matter what anyone anywhere says this place is special and has special people. People that always have something to teach and something to learn. The borders of both country and culture somehow blur in this place and it's enough to turn a head or two. I have always felt like I was among greater people than I when I come here. That evoked a passion within me to gather my thoughts and to challenge those people with intent on learning something special and maybe becoming special myself. Regretfully, this is my last post here for a while and for many reasons mostly involving better time management. I feel a need to reflect and go through the conversations that sparked that passion inside me I thought was long lost instead of continuing to attempt to post new content and have new experiences.

    I am writing a fictional book that I believe has a mass amount of potential and it's going to take up my writing time. It's time for me to fade into lurker status and continue to learn from some of the greats, but from afar. Every person who posts here is awesome including every JW apologist and even EntirelyPossible if he's not too grouchy.

    John 14: 34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

    Thanks sabastious, I understand completely where you're coming from. Go and do what you need to do. This forum will still be here when you return. You will be missed.

    Stay safe!

    Regretfully, this is my last post here for a while and for many reasons mostly involving better time management.

    For me reading the site has nearly become an addiction. Where else can I find people that relate to the very turmoil I have been enduring. So I completely understand the issue of "time management". Sadly, your comments will be missed, but do what improves your quality of life.

    Its good to leave the forum once in awhile to energize your thoughts, there is so much to learn and take in this life.

    I've personally enjoyed reading your interesting comments, you certainly garnered a lot of respect from most of the people here,

    including myself. Take care Sab.
