I was a bit nasty aboutn it when I first realised it wasn't the truth
Having met you, this is hard for me to picture. You have a kind heart and a good soul, so please do not beat yourself up over mistakes that are made by everyone.
But then again, upon retrospect, I was difficult to be around back in the day. I remember a phone that got thrown through a wall once a upon a time.
Ya bastard.
Hi BigT......where ya been?
I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea about me being nasty when I first left. I was nasty in my words about the borg. Not cussin nasty, not screaming at my wife......just really upset with tears and anger in my voice. I never made my wife feel threatened or intimidated to the point she was afraid of me.
There......now I feel better
Gumby......*of the " I ain't know mean bastard" class*
Hey Tex! How's yer back? Mebbe you should stick to throwing little tiny things. Maybe like... um... marshmallows?
Well I didn't tell Mr.Panda anything, except that I had read CoC and had a copy. I also told him I would maybe go to a SUnday meeting or 2 with him , but Basically I would no longer participate. He was an elder and I know the other elders got tough with him. He saw the way his fellows treated me and that helped him to reason on my leaving. After my Da he actually did read the book, but I still kept my mouth shut because I know my bitchy ways would not be helpful. But I hoped, and not in vane. I did send copies of my DA letters to a few close friends (many who are now ex-dubs). Mr.Panda is not an atheist but he has come around on evolution (for which I may have been in bitch-mode). So sometimes being a bitch ...
I was very angry and years after, I would get all teared up and mainly took it out on myself and destructive behavior. I tried not to bring it up, but if asked I would say the manest sh$%$t.
Now I have found a lot of the anger and such have left for the most part. Some things still get me. Fortunately for me I am not very good on staying on the subject for a long time. So if I loose it, I forget I am mad very quickly...Just let me vent. I stopped the crazy behavior.
Panda.....so yer a little ol' Biatch are ya?
I did send copies of my DA letters to a few close friends (many who are now ex-dubs).
I realise there are many cases in which ex-dubs have shared what they have learned with family and friends and have had good success in bringing them out......it's those who don't let up once responses have ceased to a degree that one should know when enough is enough. I haven't been lucky enough yet to get anyone out within my big family of witnesses as I've only spoken to my wife, mom, and one sister, concerning anti-dub stuff and those ocassions were few. The rest of them only see me as an apostate bastard!
*wonders if mean ol'' panda rides a broom*

I think i'm just a plain old regular bastard.
Hi Netty. I was on my second cup of coffee when I posted this thread dang it,.....and I'm STILL a grouchy bastard
You are so entitled! And I completely understand why you would be grumpy about this subject. Hope your friend can salvage his relationships. Good that he has you to talk to!
Gumbunnie, Since brooms emit no noxious toxins I don't see why anyone would object to broom riders riding brooms. Mr.Panda likes broom rides. I guess you just aren't environmentally friendly. You'll catch up with evolution real soon Gummy Bunnie, real soon.
Atheistic Love Hugs All around.
Panda and Netty.....what the heck you two still doin up at this hour? You guys are drinkin again.....aren't ya?
Panda gal....you keep takin care of hubby and givin him them broomstick rides... and he'll love you forever
Netty......I';m going to try and see him this week and hear his side if he feels good about talking about it.....which I think he will. I'll post more on this if anything happens interesting.
I want to hear his feelings concerning how he feels about how he handled the situation if the side of the story I heard about was true or not and if he really did indeed become ..."a irritating bastard".....or whether there is another side to the story and perhaps his wife used his exiting, as a witness legal loophole ( spiritual endangerment) as an EXUSE to seperate from a boring life she had with him once the kids were all gone....which recently happened shortly before he exited.
