  Has AFIN come back yet?

  If she has, she isn't posting.

  I don't think AFIN is coming back. I think she has had it with this place. That is cool. I could understand that. I don't know if I would want to go slug it out with thousands of dubs on a posting board, not that they would have me. No matter how much you know, you don't know more than several people combined. I had a nice conversation with her today. She is alright when she isn't fighting with all of us. I hope she finds she doesn't need a group of people to make her be faithful to God. True faithfulness is shown when we don't have anybody telling/making us obey God. We just do it because we love Him!

  i just got an im from afin.

  apparantly she can't post right now.

  i don't know what she did exactly, so i can't speak to her specific offense, but in general i think the absolutely wrong thing to do is ban j-dubs who come here to debate.. .

  Phew. When I saw your id Mrs Jones, I got scared that I made a hasty generalization.

  (This is an inside joke between Mrs Jones and I)

  Maybe we should also look for people calling dubs all sort of things, when they post something.

  Sure! I am all for good manners. I usually pipe up with a "welcome" when some dub blusters in here and pisses everyone off.

  I want them here! I don't think they can take the heat. If I am wrong I want to know it.

  C_Y_P I have heard from good sources AFIN is visiting Tartarus for a short while, her release is pending.

  Great news. I look forward to crossing swords with her soon.

  I only read AFIN's posts on Gringojj's thread about his wife...but I must say...I saw no name calling on her part.

  Well she did tell me something about not casting pearls before the swine... somehow I have a feeling I might be the swine in her illustrations. At any rate, I have had previous experience with her doing just that sort of thing.

  But regardless, you are absolutely right. We should never let other's bad behavior be an excuse for our own, for in doing so we allow people, we probably don't like, determine our behavior. Some of the responses to her are what actually helped motivate me to write this post. That and a post asking that we screen new members (apparantly tongue in cheek)

  And I still say AFIN has a lot of guts to come here!!! Say what else you want, you can't take that away from her!!!

  I have lost much to the cult, but compared to many it is a scraped knee.

  I understand K, that is why I said the above. I guess I don't mean to say that we should put up with anything.

  I just think it is more fun to get them here, out in the open where they can't use their little threats, and intimidation techniques to get people to stop saying things they don't like.

  In my opinion afin is just another human trying to find and live a decent life. Just like we are doing.

  Well said.

  Don't turn your enemies into caricatures. If you do, you can lose your humanity, and even become your enemy.

  ... and you have to admit 144001, AFIN does have guts to come here and duke it out with all of these cranky, well informed, ex-jws.

  I understand 144001. I have been on the recieving end of her ad hominem attacks. I signed off on a thread one night, and came in the morning to 16 hours worth of attacks and taunts as if my silence had to do with her devastating logic.

  I also am not on the same level as many of you here. I have lost much to the cult, but compared to many it is a scraped knee. I know it might be difficult for many to hear me, of all people, speaking on behalf of AFIN in particular.

  But I really do think it is best if we let her speak. Better for her, and for ourselves.

  And as far as her name calling, it really doesn't hurt anyone but herself. She exposes herself everytime as having nothing else to offer. You tell me who is really insulted.

  AFIN and others who advocate the Watchtower on JWD are subject to the same rules as everyone else

  I would never advocate anything else. Nothing I said implied or explicitly stated otherwise.
