Over at kent's cozy discussion forum, at http://kent.steinhaug.com/forum/showthread.php3?s=576c225fa464b8a850eaf84a8f511cad&threadid=62, RedhorseWoman started a thread wherein she wanted comments about an old highschool classmate (also a JW) that she recently met again.
Responding to her post, I said
Too late for your situation, but I'd treat her as I've come to treat my JW family: leave religion, the truth, Jehovah (and the rest of that JW baggage) out of all conversations... unless they bring it up. And even then, don't expect much. It's not my job to 'help' them see things from my point of view.That's it. My one and only post in the history of kent.com. Two posts later, in that same thread, the board owner posted—off-topic!!—the following:Even in my own family, no one sees things from my perspective. Though all of mother's offspring were raised in the truth, there in now only one active/loyal Witness. There are also fundy Christians, a very inactive but loyal Witness, an orthodox Muslim and at least one agnostic. I've been forced to learn to live and let live.
Point is: When people are ready to think, they will. Until then, trying to MAKE them think is futile.
TeejayI just went to the thread to post a follow-up to think41 who had commented on my post, but... for the life of me, I was not able to log on!Do us a favor, and stay away. I don't want you here at all. You are one of the persons responsible for this board being made - and I will hope you can stay away. Play somewhere else!

The error messaged said that I was not logged in so I clicked on the appropriate link and logged in (I thought). Then an on-screen prompt said this:

2. You do not have permission to access the page that you were trying to. Are you trying to edit someone else's post or trying to access administrative features? Check that you are allowed to perform this action in the Forum Rules.

Well, I tried again. And again. And again. Still, no success. Rats! I wonder what this means!!!? I wonder what I'm doing wrong. Any help from anyone?
I'm thinking that maybe... just maybe I was a little too honest when I registered. Maybe I shoulda used a name other than "teejay", ya think?
btw, Pete started a hilarious thread... "Who flushed the toilet over at Simon's?" Norm got rid of him. Reminds me of purelanguage.net: post the wrong kind of post, get df'd forthwith... which... um... reminds me of still another group.
