Dede,
Do what you feel you must, I understand. There are two sides to every story (even three at times) Trust is a very important issue here and should not be taken lightly. Nor am I judging anyone regarding this issue. I just know that there could of been a better way of handling this. Then just pouncing and ripping someone to shreds. Evidence is important. But, if you do not wish to make private info public then this should of been handled privately. That is all I am going to say on the handling of this matter. The Violation of Trust~ now that is an entirely different situation. We all have suffered TREMENDOUSLY at the hands of family and the WTS's teachings. Our trust and integrity are the only things left to some here. Once that is violated~ it can never be repaired to what it once was and can take years to recover from.
All I can say is that we only got one side from Jes, and most people need two sides in order to come to a proper conclusion. Prim's character was slaughtered. He'll never be able to regain trust from anyone here. Jes is loved by all and I'm sure that most people believe her. So mission accomplished right? Also, her post was vague. We don't know what their private conversations were about. It's hard to judge someone based on second hand and unspoken knowledge. But hey, Jes has Simon's support. He allowed her comments. That's all that matters right? No more idscussion needed. Prim is a liar, that's what he'll be remembered as, no worries.
Goodbye. . .
SP,
You have made your points. But, also we have seen the very same vague allegations from you also. So are we to cut you some slack and not someone else ? How you come across in the above is quite bitter and inflamitory, and I don't think it was your intention. I think you were pointing out how all this has came across. Please remember this is a painful situation for all involved. I understand anger at the situation.
I do not think any would appreciate our trust violated. Nor do I think any would spare anyone the claws defending yourself. I have seen too many people torn apart, hurt, and shredded. Enough!!
I can understand how a few feel and why they left. The atmosphere on this board for some time has changed. Many posts are vindictive, hurtful and just down right rotten. There are internal struggles that have spilled into written words of hate, friendships destroyed etc.
Are we that angry and vengeful ? Do we not have enough to do educating people about a harmful cult ? Or have we become just like those we protest ?
I believe it is time to take a good hard look at some of these nasty posts and then look at ourselves~ and ask. Is this how I want to be ? Perception is reality.
Food for Thought.
X.
