Dear All,
It is with much regret that I have decided to leave JW.com.
It is not a decision I have made lightly, in fact I had been thinking about it for many weeks now.
I am leaving because I cannot be a part of a forum that condones abuse and deliberate offensiveness towards other posters. I am disappointed in the way Simon has let this place degenerate over the past 6 months. But it's his forum, and I am under no obligation to be a part of it. I have lived with abuse in my past, and one thing I have learnt is that you do not have to put yourself in situations where you will be abused.
Posting on this site is no a longer pleasant activity. I cannot post one word without thinking that I could be abused for the opinions I state. Intellectual debate is fine, but personal insults (ala being called an a***hole every 5 mins) is not acceptable.
I have made many friends during my time here, some whom I now consider personal friends. Some I have had the pleasure of meeting, others I hope to one day meet. I thank all those who have supported me during my time here, your encouragement has been invaluable.
I may come back at a later time if this place improves.
Otherwise I wish everyone well in their spiritual journey.
Take care,
Prisca.
