    (i was going to pm this but hey what the heck...)

    Bethany after chat last night, I figured something was up. You were rattled. Really rattled. So, the first thing I did this morning was check out your posts. Why did you come on chat last night? Seeing as everytime you have made a post it was directed at Jim, what were your intentions?? What did you expect? He is NOT the one that owes You an apology. You have it backwards. Considering how you outright attacked him with rude comments, YOU OWE HIM ONE.

    I am not perfect, if I have ever personally offended anyone on this board, I am so truly sorry. Bethany, you haven't just made a stupid comment here or there, you have insulted someone you don't know by making direct comments on their posts.

    If you really wanted to show you WERE NOT a stalker or otherwise, probably the smarter thing would have been not to start a thread Directly addressing Jim, changing your profile to directly address Jim... Hmm..No you aren't obsessed with him. or ARE you??

    Everyone here would be more then welcome to help you with your questions, so far, though, your posts have come across as not having the intention on educating yourself on this cult, but the intention of being rude. It's hard for me to want to help someone who has been mean.

    Really, I think her postings were innocent enough, looking at the context in which they were written. Perhaps the first comments to Jim were a bit much, but I think y'all need to give her a break. She is new to the board and I think the hostile replies to her apology are out of line.

    She came here to help a JW nephew. I have lurked too and learned a lot from everyone. One reason I don't post much is bec there is so much "unity" on the board that I feel out of it. And I have a different sense of humor myself, which might not come across as appropriate at times. Let's move on. Oh, and Welcome Bethany!

    Sounds like I missed some fun last night! But then, that's what I get for not going on the chat. I didn't realize I could!

    Bethany, first let me say that Jim is well loved on this board as you have found. As a fellow wiccan I'm sure you can see how other people might find some negative energy coming from your posts. This doesn't do much to endear our belief system where truly we attempt to harm none. By the comments you have made I'm sure you may feel the full effect of the three-fold law. Personally I don't know if I subscribe to that entirely, to others it's simply cause and effect. At any rate, sometimes apologies are necessary even if you truly never intended harm but some resulted anyway. I certainly will not tell you or anyone else what to do, I simply give some things to think about.

    Welcome to the board, lets begin again!. And, as a former JW and a current Wiccan, if you would like to pm me on the subject of your nephew, feel free.

    Blessed be,
    Sherry

    I have never been a Wiccan. Why would I want to become one?

    Welcome Bethany!

    Now...on to the fun stuff.....It has been brought to my attention that somebody on the forum, a long standing member, feels I am stalking him. He has based this idea on the fact that I have only made 3 posts and two of them (NOT 3) were directed at him. (I really think that the beefstick comment was funny, he kind of opened the door for that one) I would also like to say that no, I am NOT your ex-wife, daughter or an old hired girlfriend. I have been happily married to the same man for 23 years and have no desire to meet you.

    AND I forgive this person for calling me a Troll!

    Blessed Be!

    Bethany

    I totally got from this statement that you and Jim_TX worked out your differences via PMing? Good!

    As far as I'm concerned it takes a lot of guts to introduce yourself with the intent of clearing up any misunderstandings like you did. Good for you! You've got biggins........stick around I'm sure you'll learn all you need to and then some.
