  i'm considered to be very laid back but today i could have easily knocked someone on the nose for nearly causing a car accident that could have injured quite a few people, i wanted to hit the roof, perhaps its my first experience with road rage.

  (or maybe the meds were wearing off...lol).. do you get it or have you been a victim?.

  see ya next week, take care, oh and dont pap the horn if you see me on the road :).

  • When you first came here what did you expect?

  To find a frank, honest discussion about the witness from an objective point of view.

  • What were you looking for?

  The same.

  • Did you find it and if so how?

  frank and honest, yes. objective, no.

  • If you were looking for information how did you look for it -
  • ask a question?
  • wander through the threads?
  • use the search utility?
  • other?
  • Where there other places that helped you find what you were looking for? If so where?

  Pathways Online, Silent Lambs, Watchtower Observer

  • How did you feel coming here at first?

  A little nervous

  • How long did you read before signing up and posting?

  A few hours

  • What made you feel safe enough to post that first time?

  A thread about separation...the very thing that set my doubts into a flat spin.

  • If you came across some of the flaming on here, how did you feel and what convinced you to stay?

  I'm not hurt by it...a lot of the people here, myself included, have been through a lot with the org. This is our chance to vent and act, well, unwitnesslike. My feelings aren't hurt that much by a rough comment. I've learned to take it in stride and consider it a sore issue with others. Political threads can get out of hand, which is why though I feel strongly about my positions, I'm a better service to the board to back away. I stayed because I want to make it work for my sake and those I've grown to love, appreciate and respect.

  I'm not sure if I qualify as having been here "for a while," but...

• How do you feel over-all about this website?

I can't get enough. It's really refreshing. It truly serves a purpose, especially those who are unsure about leaving the org. Simon keeps the tone as suppportive as possible, and that's important. A prospective fader who came across a flamewar site would probably be convinced to go back to meetings. It does what it's designed to do.

• Do you still come here for the same reasons as you came in the beginning?

Sure. My fade is going to be rough. I've picked up a lot of great Ideas and friends.

How has the board changed?

I know I haven't been here that long.

• How does this affect you?

Very Well!

• Have you thought of leaving? If yes then why stay? What keeps you coming back?

NO. Not till I get hooked up...
