i have taken a break from the baby wait to come to the board and see what is happening.

recently i had a run in with some people from another board, that also attend this board.

in a search of my name on this site, i see that people (two weeks later) are still mentioning this and me.

I am off to life ...

I wanted to add one thought, as I do not know how long it will be before I return. This day offered a break I am not sure will happen again soon.

When you were disfellowshiped, disassociated or walked away. Above all things you wanted people to realize you were human and make mistakes, and not be judged by people who were no better then you. You were probably frustrated when you were kicked out of the religion for doing things that you just wish someone could accept and not tell you that you were evil for it. Yet, I remember so much as a Witness thinking "how could that person do such a thing" and not speaking to them like I was some perfect person who never made mistakes. Leaving humbled me, educated me and showed me the value in seeing that people make mistakes. Yet they are still human and deserve the rights we want in our own life.

Never let old habits reappear. I might have said I was sorry, but I still have the right to feel the way I did and do about issues. I hope to never harm someone again online, but I can never control "hurting" you. As I know some people get hurt when you spell their name wrong. I AM HUMAN!!! Please do not think I am the "Church of Dragon" with followers. If people agree with me, they are not followers ... when I agree with people, I am not there followers. I am just one person, one online name and that is it 100%. You make mistakes, and so do I ... you want people to accept that and so do I. If you want to hate me, stay angry with me, or speak ill of me. Ask yourself something, "Is my life so angry, so hateful, that I really need to waste time attacking one person out of 7 billion ... is this what life has taught me and brought me too?" Trust me ... I am not worth your time!!!!

In all things, I consider myself to be a good person with a desire to be even better. May all, everyone of you, always seek the good in people and learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of others. Place love as your goal, and let your aim be set on happiness.

See everyone in the future, it might be awhile ... Turkey Day is almost here.

Beck,

I was going to wear my cup in the delivery room, for protection. My wife and I are very excited and wanting our little son to come out and play soon. My wifes mom was late in all of her kids, and we had a feeling this might happen with my wife too. I was hoping they would serve some beers at the hospital, for when I get real nervous.

The problem with what kenpo on the other board, wasn't the fact that he attacked other people, but someone posted a link, and information about silent lambs, nothing to do bb/rf stuff, and kenpo went off on them, basically telling everyone that it's not a support group.

Dragon wrote in post

Now, did I go to extreme on another site and say mean things about silentlambs? I think I did, I think my frustration bubbled up to the point that I expressed my views in bad taste and with a emotion that is not productive.

I really want it known I was being a jerk at the time in my frustration and I really want people to know I realize that

Basically I want to freely admit, I made some mistakes when I gave my view point and my thought on something and offended people. Is a apology not enough? I think my point was valid from my stand point, but I 100% see yours too. Rhonda mentioned that I should have brought this up on Beyond, but Tim posted a message saying to "end it" and I respect his wishes and felt I caused enough damge as it was. I even mentioned in the silentlambss debate that JWD would be easier on me then on Beyond, and I should not have said that, as it was a mean rip on the Beyondjw people. I should not have destroyed one board, and promoted another. That was wrong, and in bad taste. If Tim said it was okay, and if it would not become a huge debate. I would post this same information on Tim's board. Simply though ... he asked to not have it brought up there again.

I am really not this important though, and my views should hold no weight to the degree that people would be willing to debate about me when I have been gone two weeks!!!!! I am leaving again soon, as life calls. I am only posting in this thread to say a very loud SINCERE "SORRY!" As Beck said

Where there is an apology, there is humility...where there is humility, there is yeilding...where there is yeilding, there is peace. Take it or leave it.

Just to add

In my search of my online name, I came across someone mentioning that I am on this site as a user named "Donkey."

Why dont we start with proof of who you really are? I believe there is every possibility that Atlantisdragon, Kenpodragon, and donkey are all one and the same person.

http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/forum/thread.aspx?id=41090&site=3

I read this posters information, and any who know my work should see the difference. I don't expect you to believe me, but I would recommend strongly that you contact Simon and he can tell you. You see online when we post we have a ISP address that attaches to our messages. No two are a like!!! So Simon can compare these and tell you the truth. Be brave, ask him.

If you want to know what I have been doing with my time these last two weeks, besides work. I have been rubbing my pregnant wife's feet, belly, back, etc. Cooking, cleaning the house and basically getting ready for the new addition. Relatives have been with us, including my JW mom and sister. It has been great and this week I am hoping to be a father, have a Thanksgiving dinner and have more relatives to visit. Should be fun.

So if you really want to know the truth, e-mail Simon. Making a claim of such online is interesting, but something that can be easily proved wrong. E-mail Simon!!!! I post as one name kenpodragon here, and atlantisdragon on some other boards ... I would love to have it just be Dragon, but someone always has that name first.

Thanks, we are very excited about the baby (If he ever comes out LOL five days past due). I did not mention this on Tim's board, as I think Tim wants it done and I saw it here too. All is cool with me, I just want people to know the Dragon is human and makes mistakes. Hate me or love me, or don't even think about me ... does not matter, my name isn't really Dragon after all ... it's just a name online. It does make mistakes though, just like the man behind the key board.

My thought on the support group has got me to thinking, but I must admit, right now I have much to much on the plate of life to add that at the moment. I was thinking of writing a how to with all the information needed though and posting it. I think it would help to see that one person, you or I or anyone, can make a difference to the good and offer the hand of support.

In a discussion forum, to all views is a counter view. I live by that, and love that about discussion boards. I like to have people say, "yes, that is nice and all ... but did you know." It is the insight I live for. Like I have said though, perhaps I did not have the right to push my views on others and much like the last time you mentioned something about me on Beyondjw ... you saw the end affect of a much larger picture. Like I said to TH, it is all about perspective and I will leave it at that. I frankly have nothing left to say, and don't care if people go to silentmabs. If anyone ask me though, I will say what I think. As for the alternative, I don't want you to think there isn't. The below link is a excellent support group connection

http://www.preventchildabuse.org/

Plus, starting local support groups in our own community is a great idea. In light of all this I have often hopped that local groups could sprout up where people could have weekly meetings of support. Sounds so loving and wonderful, I think organizing it could be very easy too. Newpaper ads, fliers and invite all abuse survivors. Hotels, Restaurants and other meeting places could even donate the space as a tax right off. All you have to do is apply for non-profit status and get a tax ID number. You could start small and then grow into weekly meetings. Actually this whole idea is exciting me and inspiring a thought.

Rhonda, despite my comments to you. I have never hated or been angry with you. We are strangers who do not even know each other. I support you to do what ever makes you feel best and what makes you happy. That is your personal path and that is all that matters. Enjoy, and no ill wasl felt or sent.

May your path and mine always find the light that brings us joy.

One thought is often a accumulation of many paths. In that, I mean that you came late to a already existing event and only saw the end affects. It taught me a lesson though, to think about what each post says and not assume that anyone knows the whole pictures. You statement above teaches me that, in that I agree with you ... and at the same time I am all the more agreeable that "life is about perspective" in that things look different from the from the point of view we see it in. It is all right to us, and to you, and to me. Life is always a lesson between the lines.
