    Count me among the cluelsee......

    BT,
    I doubt whoever has brought about this unnecessary apology from you has any idea of who and how you truly are. From what I have gleaned from reading your posts and the short time we met in person, I can with confidence in my statement say that you and Nina are salt of the earth. Can't wait to see you guys in May.

    Your support and empathy for board members who have lived the nightmare you have, is clear for all to see. Passionate feelings sometimes bring out passionate words. If those words are taken out of context or imbued with imagined malicious intent, that is not your problem.

    Too many raw nerves around lately it seems to me.

    To whom it may concern...... Thunder don't take kindly to folks messing with his friends.

    It is big of you to apologize Big Tex.(hence the name BIG Tex huh? and here I thought it ment...ummm well nevermind what I thought )

    I am truly sorry for the pain this has caused you. I can only imagine how difficult it must be not knowing how to handle different situations. I think you did what you thought was best at the time. I'm certain you never ment to upset or condescend to tal! (cause you really are one of the nicest guys around) I'm sure she is just as suprised at your reaction to her post as you were to her reaction at getting a PM.

    We are all "damaged goods" in one way or another after leaving the borg...and some of us keep our scars and hurts hidden better than others so when they lash out in pain we are suprised not knowing how or why we may have hurt them. I think that may have been what happened here.

    Your a good person Chris, no doubt about that. And so is tal. I hope we can all get past this.

    I'm not very good at remembering each person on this board, but when I see your screen name Big Tex I have a good feeling in my inner self, so I guess you haven't said anything that puts me off.

    Hi Chris,

    FWIW, I always look FWD to anything you have posted here. Your points are thoughtful and balanced IMO.

    One post of yours that will be forever etched in my mind is this one:

    http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/64793/1000119/post.ashx#1000119

    I don't know if your situation is similar, but at the end of the day, you know your wife better than anyone. In your heart you know what she'll do. And there is where your answer is.

    Be well,

    Chris

    It is a comment that I think of often when I run up against a tough decision, not just for my marriage, but for life in general.

    To be able to rely on my heart again and trust it after the WTS has told me that any thought I had contrary to the WTS was evil, is a helpful education for me as I try to become a 'normal' human being again.

    Thank you for all of your caring posts here on the forum,

    Paul

    Chris,

    Like I told you over on LambsRoar, I've never met a better person - There's not much more that can be said in those regards. You know I admire you and always will.

    You know where to find me if you need someone to talk to...

    Rev
