JanG,If it's meant for the newbies, then maybe they, being more likely to have raw, emotional pain on the surface of their psyches, might feel WORSE after reading it than better.
It is the condescending attitude of some that saddens me the most. We are quick to point the finger at others when they make mistakes, but we seldom see our own glaring faults.
Often we don't immediately realise that we still have this problem lingering in our makeup. We may continue to show lack of compassion toward those with whom we disagree or those who may have caused offence without realizing we are still acting according to our training in the organization.
I'm sorry, JanG, but I, too, feel that your post resembles WTBTS guilt-mongering tactics and is burdensome rather than uplifting (as I'm sure you meant it to be). outnfree
