    So, I see there are people that wish to say I wen't off in to a mindless rant eh? Thanx for filling up my e-mail btw with some of your opinions btw.

    1) I stand by what I first said. I addressed the post in a manner that I felt was appropriate.

    then where does it goes wrong?

    IslandWoman said:

    Sorry, I do not have the time. And even if I did I would not, because you have too much hate.

    Please don't give me the "how much I have suffered" bs. Many have suffered!

    Did they address my points in my post? Nope...again, a demonstration of "side stepping" and they proceeded in to trivializing my pain. Sooo, if they don't want to address the issue and take stab, I'll play their game and let the flame war commence. Who the hell does this person think they are, to tell me that what the WTBTS has imposed on me, and my suffering is B.S.? All the while slap the label of "bigotry" on me? So, let me get this straight....many of us suffered, and still do suffer, yet if we retaliate against those who cause the injury...we are bigots? Ummm...no.

    Ridicule here? Hey, I ridicule people whether they be a JW or X-JW when they come to the point of dictating on my behavior. There are those who come in and have decent posts, then there are those that come in spouting their rhetoric telling me what to do, and condemning me for having a different thought. Those are the people I retaliate against. I also retaliate, if you've noticed, to those who mock both JW's and X-JW's ...for they are here just to cause problems.

    Then what happens Next? Well let's see:

    VioletAni said:

    There is no reason to get venomous simply becos IW doesn't agree with you or won't listen to your OPINION....she has EVERY RIGHT! Don't diss her for having an open free-thinking mind where she's not easily bullied by the likes of you and others on this board.....

    Hey, did I say IslandWoman has "no right" ...or "diss her for having an open free-thinking mind"?

    Nope. I was retaliating against IW post that basically told me that my pain is B.S. VioletAni decided to stick her nose in something she wasn't involved with, soooo I believe she takes accountability for sticking her nose in my argument with IslandWoman.

    I stand by as to what I said about VioletAni...all I see is a person who continues to waffle back and forth on her position with the WTBTS...some of you baby her, I don't disagree with you on doing that...me....I don't have too. Since she stuck her nose in a confrontation that she had no business being in, hey, I'll let her in on the fun as well.

    Then comes Wholewheat:

    You called Island Woman a 'bitch'. She is a lady who expressed her fellings and you have belittled her and degraded her with your derogatory name calling. It is obvious that you hate women. You mistreat them, just as you did DJ in the chat room. You are one sick 'dude', and I feel that even though there are men in here that are no longer witnesses, they most assuredly are not going to stand by and watch you bash a female. You are a coward!!

    Well, here we go again. Wholewheat and I have our spouts in chat, Wholewheat doesn't like me very much, and I don't like Wholewheat all that much....but they stick their nose in something they shouldn't of, and started throwing false accusations about me...even to go as far as making what seemed to be a "tattle tale" post here:

    http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.asp?id=31357&site=3&page=3

    I thank all of those who came to my defense, and see me for who I "REALLY" am.

    I'm a big enough person to know if I've done something wrong, and I'm a big enough person to apologize for doing so. IslandWoman, I apologize for calling you a "self righteous bitch" and I apologize to VioletAni for calling her a "attention" whore...my use of name calling in a derogatory way was not appropriate.

    I don't hate all JW's...for I don't know all them on an individual basis...yet, it's my business and perogative to dictate my relations with those who have mistreated me, and it's my business and my perogative on how I do it. I don't condemn people for choosing what behavior they pursue, don't condem mine. I don't tell people on how to behave, don't tell me how to behave. Simple as that.

    D8TA,

    You're the man! I accept your apology!!

    I agree with Prisca. It takes a big man to admit he was wrong and apologize. You're the better for having done so.

    Anyway, I've always thought you were a great person, so there!

    As I was finishing your post, I thought the same thing that I then saw that Prisca wrote, good for you. Prisca and I have been through similiar experiences, and while we both will engage in debate, we have enough pride, which is a good thing, not to let others demean or degrade us. Sometimes, you have to make a statement and draw a line in the sand, this far and no farther. Again, I say, good for you.

    Wholewheat, Welcome to our rough and tumble word. Yes, we can be direct. Yes, we are confrontive. But, yes, we have good hearts and good intentions. I am glad you have you have survived your orientation period here.

    well, i don't know what all the fuss is about, but i do know this: that it takes a really strong person to apologize. and i think that's highly admirable.
