Never surrender, not giving up
by Junction-Guy into all the false prophets in brooklyn, this isn't the end, only the beginning.
many of us will leave here and move on to different venues.
we will start local support groups, we will pass out flyers, we will do whatever we can to expose the lies and destruction your organization causes.. .

Haven't you heard that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"?
You see Catalpa trees as ugly.
Perhaps I see them as beautiful~ -

Yes I am a real person
by BonaFide inthanks for many posts to my situation.
yes i am a real person, and if you want to pm me and ask details, i would be happy to give any details you want.
it is a little disconcerting to read how some doubt i am telling the truth, this is a tough time for me, but i still respect that you need some proof.

"this is a tough time for me, but I still respect that you need some proof"
i personally did not read your story. but all i can say is...it is a forum. and you do NOT have to give proof or justify yourself to anybody.
no matter what you say...some will never believe you, some will give you the benefit of the doubt, and some will believe you.
it is only refreshing to read that you are feeling better each day. keep moving in the right direction. and all the best to you~ -

Good Manners Never Go Out Of Style
by snowbird inafter the initial shock from reading simon's announcement wore off, i re-read it again for the first time.. here is something that really stood out:.
the ex-jw community has certainly changed over the years.. people have and always will have disagreements but in the past there was a certain level of mutual respect, even if you vehemently disagreed with someone, and a line that people would not cross.
now it seems that the slightest disagreement is taken to extremes and escalated beyond all proportion with a level of vitriol seen in very few online communities.

Strangely enough, I also made an exit Tuesday:-)
But I was made aware of Simon's decision via email this morning, so I came back.
And I am glad I did, as I already found another outlet.
And of course, I also had to make sure that I don't lose touch with a precious few.
So all is well. And life goes on:-) -

I agree with you, Sylvia...good manners never go out of style.
What I find sad is that some posters are continually rude and insulting. Then again, they are seen as witty and so funny.
Perhaps it is only me... -

This is really what it's all about.
And you are right...this is nothing to make light of.
