    RR - the present does not exist. By the time it is, it has already become the past. Yearning for what is/was is pointless...

    I am told I led the exodus out from h2O. With many good posters came some trolls (like FredHall) and worse. They are best dealt with by being ignored. Quitting is not ignoring, it is responding!

    As to the hate-filled nature of some posts (mine included, I hope) - hate directed at evil and wicked systems and things is more than understandable - it is desirable. An absence of such anger and hate favors the Watchtower (which is not to say that excesses cannot backfire).

    Go then, if you must. I do not wish it but, like all else, it will be endured.

    RR,

    We have all had favorite restaurants and bars that changed or just
    got too crowded. We just visited less or left earlier and popped in when
    we felt like it. There was never a need for a formal announcement - why
    burn bridges?

    Call in some time for a swift one - you don't even need to speak - and then
    we won't even know you have been listening. Things may change, to your liking
    but if you don't stop by, you will never know.

    RR,

    I will miss you. I remember early on, we disagreed and you proved me wrong and I accepted that. Another time, we disagreed and decided to agree to disagree. I will miss your thorough knowledge of the early days under Russell. You were a positive influence in correcting those who made slurrs against him. He was not a perfect man, but then again, who is. I think the man had a good heart and I think his followers did as well.

    I wish you would reconsider.

    But who will I do my book reviews with? You found larc wrong is something - and you're going to leave????

    I agree with Ab.....whatever his name is - if the forum is to maintain the image that the majority of posters want - then the majority of posters will have to maintain it by posting good, thoughtful, funny, serious, posts - and trying to be civil.

    Well.........I'll miss you. My son, who will look like you one day, just moved to Charleston. Sigh.

    Well.........I'll miss you. Sigh.

    Hello, RR. It's been some time since I've posted on this board. There are so many threads now it takes longer to read the list than it took a few months ago to read all the posts!
    I know you have to do what you must, brother. I haven't been on here much lately myself because quite frankly there's not a whole lot anymore that I feel comfortable discussing but that's me. I honestly feel that you have made many worthwhile contributions to this forum and if you do decide to leave for good the board will be the poorer for it.
    In either case I wish you well.

    Sir-George said "All things must pass" and they do.

    I'm just glad this Jesus of who you preach so
    much about stayed around for 3 and a half years
    with whinners and complainers. You and all
    others who are so down on this board would
    be better off realizing that this is not a bad place.
    You have " Jokers to the left of you clowns to the
    right here you ALL should stay right here in the middle
    with us"
    Just a thought for all those disassociating themselves
    from this broad.
    Peace and Love

    RR I gotta ask - are you the same RollsRoyce that hasled and stalked the Farkelmeister earlier this year on H2O? (you can plead insanity but the 5th amendment doesn't work around here - that damned Focus!)
