Wouldn't you rather get busted for being real, honest, and giving her a chance to know what you know, rather than because you had beers at a pub with strangers from the internet?
Whatever. "protect your fade." It's all good. Who needs a real relationship anyways?"
**** Exactly!!!
To avoid everything Flipper's daughter wrote in those letters to Flipper and his wife is like a slap in the face, in my opinion. I know that's how I would take it.
Why not at least acknowledge what she wrote, Flipper?
Or maybe tell her that you don't feel like you have freedom of speech to discuss JW issues without further consequences against you.
But to completely IGNORE what she brought up in her letters, entirely, and talk about what YOU WANT, IMO, is a poor decision Flipper, and could very easily be viewed by your daughter as a flippant, insulting kind of response.
And your stated REASON for this direction is because you don't want to blow your fade away status.
Yet, to then see all those photos of you and the wife posted on a thread with the very name of the location you met at, in California, shows a complete lack of concern for the very reasons you say you did not reply to your daughter's letter; blowing your cover.
I hope you can see why others have some serious doubts about it all.
And when you ask for opinions like this on a public forum you will get what you asked for.
I still wish you and your family nothing but the best and hope it all works out!
Have a good one.
Vinny
