Thanks from the not so distant past.....

observant_one

I just wanted to say "Thank-you" for this forum. Wow! wasn't that original?....

I don't have to tell you all how much good, this board can accomplish. For the last year I have read over and over, how that people's lives have been changed by this site.

Your kindess and advice over this time, have helped me through a situation with this organization. The details are un-imortant, and debating about who I am... would be pointless and harmful. I am just a "nobody" who stumbled onto this site by accident... with problems in tow. (as you do) .

I have debated about this post. Started to post it again and again over the last three days... keep thinking "maybe just leave 'well enough' alone, and let it be".... BUT...

I think you all (especially the newer ones) should know, that there are really good people here. People whom you can really trust... if you need to. There are people here who may not have all the answers to your problems, but sometimes a kind word of comfort, is worth much more than a guy "with all the answers".

Between the intellectuals, who have done all the bookwork and re-search that have helped me... and the comedians who brought a smile to my face.... and the kind people who greeted me personally.... I have managed to accomplish SO much, with my little "problem". Not to mention the perspective I gained... YOU think YOU have problems with this Org.... until you check into this web-site... kinda makes what you thought were "problems".... seem not so bad.

There is a thread on right now... something about "are your prayers really answered?"..... if you have found this site, or these people.... accidentally or otherwise... then perhaps your "answer" may not be right there on a flashing neon sign... but trust me, it is probably right here.... in these thousands of pages of hurt, and sorrow, and regret, and happiness, and joy, and friendship.

I won't mention names.... and I wont be back here to clutter up space... but I just wanted to say "thank-you" to those who helped me. AND YOU WITH THE CUTE LIL KITTY FACE..... YOU know who you are. (oh wasnt that obvious?)

But, thank you. ALL of you. You touched an entire family. You educated me a great deal. You tolerated my spouting off at the key board. I think of many of you every day. Thank-you so much for your kindness.

I hope that you are all in good health and happiness.

Syn, it could be you! Look at your avatar and tell me that isnt a cute kitty face...I'm almost in love with it...is it male, female, tranny? Either way I am not going to assume it meant me.

Observant_one You know curiosity kills the cat right? I'm dying! I'm not letting you go until I know who you are fer sure.

Its an excellent post and I feel the same way as you do, I tried to take a break from here back in December but it only lasted 2 or 3 weeks and I was back in full force, I felt like I had been gone for a year...hopefully you will come back too, sooner rather than later.

Will miss ya

Newbies & JW lurkers,

Observant_one has expressed my feelings as well as perhaps the feelings of hundreds of good people who have dared to peak in on 'the apostates' here.

Compared to the KH, the folks here are sometimes very intense, occasionally offensive. Do not let that turn you away. This is a good place for all the reasons Observant_one stated above.

It is likely this journey with the WT society is not finished for you. Near the end of my battles with the Society's policies I entered a new battle with my own emotions. It was facing the pain and resulting depression of accepting that they were wrong and I had been duped all my life. I hope your experience is different from mine.

I wish you the best and thanks for your observations.
