    perfect thread title if you don't want anyone to even hit on it.

    I guarantee you could make someone read the list of ingredients on a package of instant breakfast mix if you worded it the right way.

    Yes, what is interesting about your thread is that it just goes to show that there are many open minds out here just Yearning to hear TRUTHS, any TRUTHS, other than those we found to be UN truths.

    Good to see you here Blondie. I have been gone for some time now, but, it's good to be back. Formerly knowe as nomoreguilt

    Thank you

    Thank you , marm. Always there with the tsk tsk, eh Blondie?

    But, I think you know, my point is that the wording of a thread title can discourage the thread being opened. Why pour out your heart and soul for 3 pages of scrolling and then post it under an apology like it was nothing ? Seems kind of a shame . Package needs to be positive not negative.

    That's all.

    That's a good point, Glander. I think there is a tendency to feel apologetic for leaning on others, as if our experience is somehow not worthy of help.

    You put your finger on it, Mamo. It was a gentle suggestion.

    It wasn't intended to be harsh or discouraging.

    (Thanks, Jonesy. I'll try to live up to it.

    I always click on titles that have to do with real people. Never, or almost never, click on titles that have to do with the wtbts or doctrine unless I'm in a pissy mood.
