I would like for it to be known that my being apart of JWD has been an experience that has given me hope. I've come to enjoy being a part of the online community, so much so that it's what I look forward to when my day involves something other than being here. The only thing better than being here would be to experience being with you all, face to face. It's not possible to be myself among regular folk. I believe the Jehovah's Witness experience removes a slice of our humanity from us. I would love to be normal oneday, at least, regular, but until I can bridge the gap between my real life, and someday being able to share with all of you in person, this is as good as it gets. You people are my life. I make no apologees for it, and I don't feel truly cheated from the rest of the world. The outside world has its place, my neighbors, the few who I have been blessed to acquire a relationship with, but you, I regard as close to family as can be gotten thru the complex life that is ours. Its easy to be here because we don't reveal our faults, hangups or complexes, unless of course, we volunteer them. We can disappear anytime we get uncomfortable, we can cut and run, do drive by shoutings. We are seperated, but also, so desperately connected. Connected to a life that was lived in fear, in shame, in guilt and based on the hope, the possibilty, of maybe coming out alive once the nightmare was over. For me, that nightmare, everyday, because of you, is coming to be less and less of a reality. You all have made the difference for me, from darkness, to that which is not as dark, and as opposed to light that allegedly keeps getting brighter and brighter as we behold the day draw near, for me, you people are that light. Giving thanks to so many, for so much. My Love To You All Arthur

I am glad you are in this same boat with me and all the others.
It is the first craft I have been on where I didn't get sea sick.
Look forward to more of your posts.
