@witnessforjesus: I think you are treating this forum as if it is a cohesive religious mind-set in its own right. It is not. There is a common bond here, but most folks have found their own paths in life.
I have enjoyed the freedom of expression, the right to agree and to disagree, and yet to remain open minded and retain a comaraderie with most of those I have "spoken" with.
Your last paragraph is a rather large and broad brush stroke demonstrating this: quote..."All I see here is negativity... which makes me doubt whether any of you have my best interests at heart."
May I remind you that if you wish to obey Jehovah's Organization upon the earth, as you have phrased it: You should not be here.
The author of this thread - JustKeepLiving- is about to "bail" out for all his given reasons. He has found succor in the warmth of folks here who can understand his reasoning, and are offering words of encouragement, caution and food for thought. I find that rich and uplifting.
Perhaps you could stick to the chosen theme of each thread, and follow through the discussion until your own needs are satisfied. In that way your own path will be enriched too. You will find there are many here who will be a source of encouragement to you. Others may indeed come over as bombastic... but remember this is the Internet, and you will find Anarchists here too.. just for sheer bloodymindedness!
All the best.
