We all do things that may not be understood by others. But, I tried to go under a new name because of personal reasons. If I were to do that for reasons that are bad I could understand others being upset. But I didn't. I did it because for me it was best. I meant no harm to others.

maybe jw's are right after all.

my life has been in this room for years.

i had held onto every word i could read in here.

I want The Dazed account deleted. Up untill now I wanted to go with the Fairgame account...but because I asked a question that raised eyebrows, apparently that is not even safe anymore.

Can someone give me an account name that "is safe" in here?

valis,

I had tried to get Simon to delete the Dazed account but there was absolutely no response to my request. I asked for him to delete that account because I went into more personal detail than I wanted known to the general public. Apparrently that was not enough to work with me and get things worked out. Apparrently the "general poster" is not worthy of any action. Apparrently, unless you "kiss ass", you are not worthy.

Sorry for the thoughts. Up until now, I didn't think there was a problem. Up until now, I thought Slimon and the Moderator's were fair. Until now I thought that must be anyone who has gotten deleted had to do with thier own action.

All I asked was a simple and fair question. Why was I deleted? Why and I ostracised? Why? Why? Why?

Maybe JW's are right after all. My life has been in this room for years. I had held onto every word I could read in here. I felt 'safe'. I felt this was the place to be outside the JW world and be able to be myself. Apparently not and I am so sad for that. I asked an innocent question, seriously. And I am just as banned and ostracised as if I was a JW and being reproved or DF'd. If I lose this account, so be it.

Simon, if you are reading this, I am crying as I type these words. This has been my refuge for years. If because of my words you choose to delete me then so be it. But I implore you to accept us that have opinions. I implore you to read pm's. I implore you to listen and contemplate. Most of us are good people. Don't go the WT way and alienate just for the sake of...

Who determined which Bible books are inspired?

by VM44 in

"the bible is the inspired word of god.

"holy spirit came upon men who then wrote the various books that make up the bible.

what was the criteria for determining if a given piece of writing, such as the books matthew, mark, luke, john and acts, or letters, such as the ones written by paul, were inspired?

DazedAndConfused

For what was actually allowed into the Bible of today it was left to the Catholic church. They decided what was to become the Bible we know today.

Self Esteem

by larc in

i have heard some people say that they have low self esteem.

i don't understand that.

why did you choose to have low self esteem?

DazedAndConfused

larc,

I thought better of you. From a person with low self-esteem, for many causes, I am upset at your attitude that you "don't understand". You know what? I don't care if you understand or not. We have self-esteem problems for various reasons and they are valid to us because they affect (effect?) us.

Before I read your post I had fingernails...right now they are gone. I have been so upset that I have bitten or ripped off any fingernails that I had 20 minutes ago.

I am sorry for anyone that says they do not understand why or how a person deals, makes me angry because unless you have been there, done that...you have no clue. And even if you have "been there, done that" and gotten through with no problem yourself, and yet judge how another person heals, there is something wrong there too. We all heal and deal in our own ways. For another to judge our actions is wrong in my book.

Cat Dictionary: Contributions Necessary

by Stephanus in

cats may well live with us, but they don't live like us.

i've noticed over the years that how we perceive stuff and how cats process the same info is often so different as to be almost alien.

here are a few i've been thinking about recently (all contributions of more examples gratefully received!
