We should be easy on Gentlesoul. He/she is 66 years old, has his/her opinions, and doesn't understand this board.Too bad he's leaving just before Simon opened the new shuffleboard court and bingo parlor...

But some people think that just by going up to an abused person and saying "cheer up", that they will.Gopher
Yes, you are right Gopher.
That is something that some folks just can never mentally grasp.
I had some JW 'friends' that are bi-polar or had alcholism run in their family.
And some elders in my KH would make dumb comments like:
"Why don't they just get over it and be happy. Go in FS, yada, yada..."
They just don't get it. It's not that easy.
GS may be in that category.
We should be easy on Gentlesoul. He/she is 66 years old, has his/her opinions, and doesn't understand this board.
So we should be easier on them because of their age? No way! Plus, GS has had the purpose of this board explained multiple times, by myself and others.
Should we be easier on them because of their age? Probably not. But my point was that, by this particular age, some people really feel they can not be taught any more, and that their opinions are always the right ones.
So a person like that (who really cannot understand what we're about -- and I bear them no malice just because of that) really does need to do what Gentlesoul is doing, and that is -- move on. And we may do well to allow that to happen without taking shots back at the person, tempting (and easy) though it might be. When GS speaks about how the board really isn't worthwhile (and takes what we perceive to be shots at us while doing so), he/she doesn't know of what they speak.
In God's speed I leave you.... Gentlesoul

This is what a guy gets when he tries to leave with a kind and sensitive way. My words were never meant to be condesending or rude or careless in anyway, and the return I get from a lot of you just put the crumble on the cookie because I don't care for senseless, rude and unkind people. And hey don't let my age stop ya from anything cause I can go circles around many of you. I was trying to say goodbye with some compassion and concern but I can see I should of just said [edited] you all goodbye , is that it ? Would that of made you feel better ? Probably but it would not of helped me any. No I have never been a JW and I do not understand a lot of things but then I guess your damned if you do and damned if you don't so why the hell am I wasting my time here at all..GOODBYE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess someone feels the need to edit some of my words even though I used #### instead of the actual word, what a punk for doing that.
I wanted to say that what I was stating in my original thread was that this place did me no good but if it does you good then all the best. What is it that some of you cannot understand ? Are you so blinded from being a JW that you have become overly sensitive ? Or is it that you just prefer someone telling how much of a jerk you are or whatever.? Maybe it's because you have never has someone who really cared before I don't know what it is but I did not deserve by no means to get the response I got. But hey you know what ? Gods peace be with you anyways....and excuse me for the word that got edited the word that I did not actually put in their.
Many times one's true nature is shown, not when times are good, but under duress.
I'll take your statement of faith under advisement.
what a punk for doing that
Indeed. This kind of reminds me of a couple of PMs you sent me.
Bye.
