I must say that my little pic is somewhat creepy, but I think that's because it is so real. Here's this wounded warrior with an expression of sheer joy upon his face. His zombie-like appearance is offset by the suggestion that even though he looks like he lost the war, he apparently made an heroic effort and survived his ordeal relatively intact. It seems very incongruous and paradoxical to have survived a war and yet exude such unbounded joy. I chose that photo of a wounded WWI doughboy because it reminds me of what Paul said about being "perplexed, but not absolutely with no way out; we are persecuted, but not left in the lurch; we are thrown down, but not destroyed." I think my presence is somewhat unsettling to apostate JW's for the reason that in all the years I have been on the net apostates have given me their best shot and they have failed to break my faith. I have conquered. And my continued presence is a constant reminder of the faith that you have abadoned and the judgment of Jehovah that we all must eventually face.
However, my intent is not just to taunt the enemy by proclaiming my own victory over the evil that seems to have conquered so many of my former brothers and sisters, but rather to inspire others to put up a harder fight for their faith. There is a method to my seeming madness. And while you may not appreciate it at the moment, when things get ugly, I could become your best friend. Stranger things have happened. And things are going to get ugly, soon, very, very soon. I know you don't believe that now, but when things come crashing down apostate Dubs will be silenced and you may be inclined to discard the delusion you are laboring under at the moment and listen. My hope is to be there for those whom Jehovah will allow a change of heart. / You Know
