    Wow, I've been offline for almost a week, I come back, and this is what is the hottest topic?

    What is going on here?

    Actually, I know exactly what is going on here: the usual difference of opinion to be expected when a large group of people from diverse backgrounds come together, without a high control cult to force them to all pretend they are in agreement.

    I am so thankful that we are in a situation where we can have a difference of opinion. I don't think there are HQ lurkers here, but if there are, know this: the disagreements here are normal and healthy, and I think most here would agree that it is better to suffer the slings and arrows of a difference of opinion between two adult intelligent men, than to have everyone's opinion provided for them like we are all children.

    OK, now I've got to go through the threads and find out what is going on aroun here!

    Many of them stupid and senile.

    Are you sure your not talking about yourself? What does all that have to do with this thread? Freaking "Troll", argg.

    IW--

    Did we forget to take our Prozac?

    Jeez--jumping on a poster because she is "old"? What the hell does that have to do with anything?

    Go get drunk and punch somebody out or SOMETHING. You seem to have a lot of pent up hostility.

    (No offense intended, Mouthy---old was not my word, but that of IW!)

    OOPs I offended Island Woman. Yes I am old & maybe senile- But I do have a sense of humor-

    Sorry if you thought i was talking down to you.I wasnt, I was acting like "Mother"

    I live in a seniors cit: apartment island Not in Florida-( would you care to invite me?)

    I just think the board got a little out of hand-with the debates, I do believe debating & differances of opinion is Good, but let us conduct it with respect EH?

    Sorry folks!!!!!! Put it down to a "seniors moment" Am I forgiven Island....

    Oh my ISLAND woman,

    You told me that you live on Long Island, NY. Now you are in Florida with the old people, eh? Which time were you mistaken? Or do you own two properties and failed to mention it? Remember me, I used to live on Long Island too?

    I think that you are rude and obnoxious. YOU my dear. owe my sweet friend, Grace (mouthy) an apology. What gives you the right to speak to this woman that way? I'm appalled by you. Take a valium and go to bed. I'm not a 75 yr. old woman so you can rag on me anytime.......leave Grace alone. You are opposed to anyone questioning Ray Franz for his opinion yet you totally disrepect this sweet (elderly) woman. Grow up and shut your trap. please! Dj

    Edited to say:

    Gracie, you are a true Christian. You have no need to apologize for anything my love.

    Dear DJ, have you ever heard of the "Mayflower" yes? now think about it OK?

    I always object to the following words regardless of the source: " Alright Children stop your arguing- Go to your rooms!!!!! You have done your pee, had your drink of water ,now go to sleep. I have had enough..."

    If you have a problem with that speak up!

    Hey Val,

    Things are a little more active here on this board aren't they? People get pissy a little easier here. It will die down in a week or so and everyone will go back to hugging and kissing. Little spats like this give the good old boys in Brooklyn a mental hard on when it happens. Some of them are probably right in the middle of it and causing some of the fuss. They are sneaky little devils.

    Makes our little board look like Disneyland. This board cracks me up, it's like it takes a few tabs of cyber acid and everyone freaks out. I hope you are having fun, I do.

    Dave/Steve

    PS: Just remember this one thing, Iv seen your butt!

    IW, its hard for people to appreciate you when you go around feeling so ill fated.

    Mouthy is one of the youngest people I have had the pleasure of meeting and you owe her an apology, she wasnt even addressing you in her post, it was a joke post to all. She has mothered many exjws with care and support and the post was that of humour, to all! Lighten up.

    remember who said the following:

    Bill Bowen, you will never be as great a man as Ray Franz! Why? Because you act before you think! A fools folly indeed!

    You didnt think before you acted, Shot yourself in the foot this time

    Lighten up, you have posted good things in the past and dont need to stoop so low.

    Brummie

    Mouthy you are a star

    THE Mayflower???? That makes you older than Grace!

    Yes, I have a problem with you.......as do most of the posters on this thread. You need to calm down. Have you even stopped to read Amazing's thread tonight about his conversation with Ray tonight? This should be left between these two men to work out.

    You have lost all sense of humor and are utterly out of control if you can't see that Grace was only acting humorously as a mother, to lighten the hellacious arguments. To jump down her throat in total anger and show total disrepect by resorting to condemning her due to her age bracket, is blatantly rude! Dj
