well, since i've been rather "inactive" and haven't started any new threads in a coupla months at least, i want to get your thoughts on this subject.. i've been reading a fair deal (since i'm a fast reader, i've always been able to keep up with most of the posts.
) but lately (past month) i really haven't been feeling drawn to jw.com.
i have nothing but admiration for simon, ang, bill and shiela but i do have some questions worth raising.
Well, I understand the thread wasn't about me, and I know you can see why I am tired of it. I guess I will just have to---like you said earlier--I can read or not and reply or not. I guess I have to put that into practice.
Have a good evening and hope to talk to you soon as well as others.
I must say I am glad this ended (for me) on a good note. I like this site and like alot of the people here. I have learned alot in the short time I have been here.
Hugs and kisses to all,
Goodnight,
Jesika

LDH,
I like other people's opinions even if they differ from my own. The subject that you brought up that happened between Fred and I was not an opinion, it was an attack. I just wish this discussion of Fred would go away. It has been talked to death.
I do not wish for this forum to become a place where everyone agrees, that would make it boring and unfruitful.
I do apologize for calling you dumb, I did that I guess to get a reaction from you, which was childish and I retract my statement. I did state that I don't believe my abuse is better or worse than anyone else's.
I also think what Plum said was nice, but I haven't been isolated. I have been out of the borg for 11yrs and have had friends and some family that I was close to and could speak with, although some were out of state ( the phone was very important to me for a while).
Please understand if this discussion was based around just abuse or freedom of speech I would have no reason to feel as strongly as I do about this. I would approach it in a different manner, but this is something that everyone has talked about lately and I guess I am just tired of it and don't like being in the "middle".
I hope we can talk together and get along as I don't like to not get along with people who have suffered from the WTBS as I have and most here have. I don't like to fight amoung those who understand where I come from, it isn't something that can be explained--god knows I have tried.
Well, I must go and play one last game with my son before he goes to bed. I will log on later to read your responce.
Love,
Jesika

Plum,
I am not asking for anyone to walk on egg shells for anyone. I was talking about this particular topic that has once again been brought up. I didn't ask for Fred to be deactivated or even edit what he said. That was done by others here, NOT ME.
I am not here to heal, but at times find it healing.
I am sorry to hear about the abuse you went through.
I was just stating that Lisa can go else where cause of her comments in reguards to not liking the way it has become a "double standard". I was not demanding this, just suggesting.

Ok Lisa, can you NOT READ!!!!!!!!! I already said that in the first post to you.
SHEESH you are dumber than I thought.

Farkel,
I was talking to the one who started this stupid thread---LDH.

I am so sick of this subject I could puke right now. If you don't like the way things are handled than go somewhere else. Why bring up a subject that had FINALLY been put to rest?? I don't care how new I am but right is right and wrong is wrong. If you don't agree start your own board!!!!
As far as the discussion in chat----Well Fred as usual was playing the cat role and made reference to another "animal" figure in chat (i can't recall at the moment who it was), but just being funny I told him not to forget to say good-bye to the bitch in the room. When he asked who that would be, I said me. It was a joke and I left chat laughing about it. That had nothing to do with why he posted what he did specifically to me. Show the chat log I don't care.
Being refered to as a "holy grail" is out of line and in poor taste. I hope you were raised to be nicer to people then you are being right now. You talk about insults, but are more than willing to give them out to whoever disagrees with you (ie. little witch).
I think your problem is since you have been around a while and know alot of people here then the new people don't matter. The board was smaller when you first arrived and with anything--businesses,family,school, etc certain things need to change as there are more people to take into consideration.
So, I guess I need to toughen up huh?? Well, like you said, you don't know me and what I have been through---so I could say the same to you.
I am not angry and have made it public on the board in my own thread that I have been very sensitive lately, but unlike you the others on this board understand this. I wish you did and would like you to think of how some of the things you say can affect others since you are not the only one here. I understand people disagree, but what was said to me was vicious and I would have been equally upset if it had been said to you.
I don't think that what I have been through is worse than others who haven't been sexually abused, but it is a daily nightmare.
I have not lost someone(in death--the physical sense) close to me in my family and others here, many here have. I can't relate to or even try to understand what it is like to go through that, and abuse in any form (i have been through them all) is the same to others who haven't been through it.
I am a very strong person, but will not excuse someone or anyone to personally attack me for no reason, as I am sure you wouldn't.
I wasn't going to respond to this thread, but felt I needed to express myself, considering I have never-ever seen my name quoted sooooooooooooooooo many times.
This subject needs to be dropped, because of Fred's lack of humility the decision stands and you talking about it and your stand on it isn't going to change it.
Regards,
Jesika
well, i just wanted to apologize to everyone on the board.
lately i have been very dramatic and over sensitive to some things that have been posted and said in chat.. i am going through alot as i am sure most if not everyone here is on a daily basis.
i am not trying to make excuses,but i wanted to say i will make sure to not jump to conclusions so quickly and be more aware of what i say and how i come across.
Thank you all so much for understanding. I am so glad I found this site!!!! I won't be going anywhere for a long time!!!!!!
Seawolf---------you made me laugh a usual, I really enjoy chatting with you. Let me know when you are coming to Dallas.

LB,
You make a good point, but on the other side of that I don't want to hurt anyone who has been there for me and don't want them not to be able to talk to me because I flew off the handle. I just wanted to try and explain why I have been this way lately and wanted to let everyone know I have been wrong in the way I have handled some things lately.
Thank you for your responce.
Love,
