Thanks ... a lot!!! (page 2)

I believe I am the jerk that rosalee is refering to.

I have shown her nothing but respect and kindness which at times was not very easy. I knew that rosalee was here for a reason although she was never honest about it until now.

There has been a mis-understanding between us but, once rosalee gets something in her head she doesn't budge. I explained it to her on another thread and did not send a private e-mail to her to explain myself in more detail as she made it clear that she wants nothing to do with me. I respect her decision and will leave her alone.

I think you are an OK girl, rosalee and I don't think that you ever threw anything in my face. That's all I will say about that ever again.

It is not fair to judge this entire board of posters by an injustice you perceive I commited. I am sorry I let you down.

I wish you peace on your journey out.

Respectfully,

Will

He is as he comes across on here...

a very sincere and likeable person.

I am sorry you feel this way. It is true some have been more stumbled then others. Lashing out is a form of reasoning to some. Yes some have had bitterness turn into hate, again this is a way to try to understand things. Each of us has our own journey. Jehovah knows our intentions and hearts. Please do not judge us so harshly as most or us have not and are not judging you.

May Jehovah's love, mercy, justice and pease be upon you.

Sorry to see that you feel hurt about something said to you but you shouldn't judge an entire collective for the injury caused to you by one person whether it is real or imagined.

Rosalee, you obviously came onto this site because you were having doubts. It wasn't anyone on this forum that made you question your loyalty, and leaving here won't magically alleviate those doubts. Best of luck to you nonetheless.

I think this a goodbye thread. Please....don't anybody try to talk her out of leaving!

When I came to this site, it was with a chip on my shoulder. I was upset because of something that had taken place in my congregation. Looking over the threads here I decided I'd jump in and cause some havoc. It wouldn't have mattered what the topic was ... I was here to vent. My vent was not directed in the proper manner though.
Having solved the problem that started my posting here, I really should have packed my bags and left. But ... I kept looking in to see what was going on. Some posters do really have my sympathy ... some got a raw deal. We all are responsible for ourselves though and must see to it that mistakes get rectified.
It took being dealt with in a poor manner by a poster here, in private that made me see that, as my mother says ... there is no honor among thieves. What many of you appear to be on this site is not a true picture. No reason it has to be ... just an honest assessment on my part.
My problem is I think everyone is as honest with me as I am with them. I've lived a sheltered life .. obviously.
The reason this thread is called ... Thanks ... is that my eyes have been opened to what to expect outside my safe haven. I will now view exjw's for what they really are. Not just disgruntled exes but ones who will do anything to dishonor the truth.
So ... thanks a lot ... you've made me see where my loyalties lie.

You came here with a chip on your shoulder, to vent, yet you are so honest.

You stayed, because you have doubts!

You cannot rectify anything in a dictatorship such as the WTS.

Thieves? Hey we didn't rip off the scriptures, the WTS did.

If we are not as we appear, even more so the pedophiles lurking in your congregation.

An honest person does not come to vent, an honest person comes with hurt and pain and shares it.

Safe haven? When the elders find out you have been on this site, let's see how "safe" your haven is sweetie.

NO ONE can dishonor truth, if something can be dishonored, it is NOT truth. Hmm, would you tell an abused children it would bring "shame" on Jehovah's name to publicly out their predator elder or ms? How the hell can "God" be dishonored by men???

Your right, your loyalties are based on a lie.

I wish you all the best Rosie, I never spoke to you, didn't know you, but what you have just written makes me feel very sad indeed toward you. You may take it as offensive but rest assured, unlike your so-called brothers and sisters, I will tell you to your face you are making a huge mistake, they'll just gossip behind your back and put on their sacchrine smile. If you ever change your mind, we are here, always. I hope you do.

Thanks ... a lot!!!
