You know that those who must announce their departure from the site always come back if nothing else but to at least read the comments on their leaving.

So much for leaving for good.

Well, at least until this thread runs out.

It is interesting to see the various phases people go through on coming here.

When I came here, one of the first threads I started was" Christians are treated as bad as the dubs here". http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/12185/1.ashx

I couldn't believe how SO MANY ex-witnesses.......could become non -believers. I almost left several times as I felt all these people were close-minded, bitter and angry, unreasonable idiots. I stayed to find out HOW and WHY so many felt this way about God and religion......and I learned alot.

Truth has nothing to fear. If someone here ...or many here.......say things that rub us the wrong way or is disgusting to us because we believe strongly the other way.........then see if what these people are saying have any validity. I did. I found out there was A LOT of truth in what was said regarding god and the bible here because I checked it out elsewhere to see if what was being said was true. I found I was amazed at the knowledge that came forth from this board.........and........some bullshit too.I can deal with the bullshit.

If someone says that they are leaving the board and then they come back to read their goodbyed posts are they really gone? I think I'd PM the friends I have made and not do (another) TTFever post. Why give your ~~bastard~~ enemies the satifaction of knowing they outlasted you?

As for telling others that they are less than you if they don't let go of a grudge well smack em. Your pain is yours. Deal with it in your own way. Forgiving is not forgetting. Forgiving is about not letting the person who wronged you who hurt you the power to go on hurting you after the act is over. Rape and other crimes of that sort even disfellowshipping is a good example, they are about power over their victim. People who are compelled to possess power over others commit crimes that cause hate. Letting that hate go is the forgiveness. Then they no longer have power over you. God does not just forgive sins he forgets them. I can't forget when people hurt me. I can't because when they hurt me it hurts! Forgiving is not showing every wound that has been done to you in your life everytime you can find a soapbox.

KGB, sorry to see ya go, if I can twist your arm to stay I'll try.

1) Your veiwpoint is as valid as anyone elses here. Its ok for you to disagree, even if everyone on this board disagreed with you it doesnt mean they are right and you are wrong. So why not stay?

2) If you have forgiven your abuser then so be it, you are a strong one, I am a believer and I dont believe people have to forgive. Only the person who has been wronged has the right to forgive or not. No one can condemn you for forgiving. So stay.

3) A person who forgives is not weaker than one who dont or vice versa. You will be embraced by most which ever decision you make. So stay

4) Well done for coping through the years, people throw words and empty insults at you but you are the one who lived it...forgiveness for you was a sign of strength.

5) I've locked the doors, so you may as well get comfortable and stay.
