Sad ending to a sad era ...
by The Berean inwhile i am new to this network, the evidence seems to be overwhelming that the wbts is in decline.
while many voice their pleasure at this prospect, it is in many ways sad for me:.
it is sad that so many have spent such a great quantity of their early lives supporting a cause that appears to have been a waste of time.

What's a "ya-but"?
by The Berean ina "ya-but" is a disrespectful individual who attempts to destroy self-confidence and raise doubts in the minds of others.
a "ya-but" has no intention of accepting alternative conclusions or even assigning merit to well thought out ideas made by those to whom they are speaking.
the "ya" part is not a recognition of alternative understanding but rather a dishonest segway for attack.

When would an "I'm sorry" help?
by The Berean inhuman interaction today too often seems to feature either playing the role of "offender" or "offended.
"most parties involved in an altercation plead "not guilty" regardless of the evidence.. but are there times when a simple unconditional "i'm sorry" might prevent a harmless spark from becoming a raging inferno?.
i pesonally have offended people hundreds of times during my life and have been offended to the same extent.

What I want from this board ...
by The Berean ingreetings to all:.
after thinking about it, what i am hopeful of attaining, as a result of interaction with everyone, may be summed up in one word: "disclosure.".
feel free to tell me what makes you happy or sad; where it hurts; how you are intelligent and where you are stupid; if you are angry or appreciative; if you conclude that my questions are brilliant or asinine; evil or well-meaning .... i promise to consider your words without prejudice ... for perhaps you possess a critical missing piece of the puzzling search for contentment.. i, for one, am listening.
