If my eye-batting exactly matches the frequency of your tremors, you will appear perfect in my eyes. Sort of like waching an epileptic under a strobe light.

What's under those robes besides your holy staff?

I need to get a life

maybe jw's are right after all.

my life has been in this room for years.

i had held onto every word i could read in here.

growedup: I absolutely respect where you're coming from. I'm a manager myself.

I used your comments as an example of something which goes on all the time on a much broader scale. I hope you don't take offense that I singled out your comment. Nothing personal was intended. You and I had a very reasonable PM exchange the other day, and I appreciated your efforts very much.

It's interesting how much our personal history goes into how we filter information, isn't it?

Warmest regards,

Wasa/practicing the eye-batting technique

If I may, I'd like to interject a couple of thoughts. FWIW....

Allgrowedup says: I have a serious pet peeve about people who want to air their differences in public - it says to me that they are trying to gain support for their own reasons with the hopes of causing further dissentions.

This is something I've observed a number of times and may be the root cause of many ongoing disputes on this board and others. Basically, we impune motives on people when we don't really know what they were thinking when they posted. "It says to me..." may be nowhere near what actually went on in the person's head when they made their comments public. We should all be more careful about doing this - and I'm including myself in this advice.

Secondly, more than one person pointed out the obvious: "if you are crying over this...if you say you don't have a life...you are taking this way too seriously and should take a break." Well, that's very easy advice to give. But if you are at a point of transition in your life - between lives actually - you may rely on crutches such as this board more than most healthy people would. It may be temporary, or it may last a long time. I have to ask though: Isn't this very reason why the board exists? To make a soft landing-pad for transitional X-JW's?

You can't have it both ways, people. Tell people they have to be sensitive to the needs of exiting JW's and then when someone displays a dependence on the interaction here, tell them to "get a life"??

Third: well handled in the end. I hope Dazed is satisfied with the response and this has a happy ending. Maybe we've all "growed up" a little.

SNOW!!!!!!!!! in North Texas

by arrowstar in

i know..i know...y'all are probably sick to death of snow those of you who get real snow.

but, here in north texas, we seldom get "real" snow.

we typically get what they call a "wintery mix" (snow, sleet and freezing rain).

Public debate on how the forum is run

by Simon in

just a reminder / clarification.. i'm not interested in public debate or questioning about hwo the forum is run, especially individual decisions we make.. if you have any questions about anything or want to challenge any decision then do it via email or pm.

any posts like this made on the main board will be deleted and, if continued, will result in suspension of the account used (as happened with minimus who's account has now been reactivated).

i'm sure you will appreciate the reason for this.

wasasister

OK, I agree that things should be taken to PM. However, if a person's account is inactivated and they sincerely don't know why (which seemed to be the case last night), how can they use the PM feature?

Curious,

Wasa

Happy Third Posting Anniversary, Eman!

our dear eman, .

it was three years ago that you first joined the growing band of posters here.

those were the days, eh?!!

wasasister

You're good people, Eman. I've seen you stumble, but always recover with grace and a great sense of humor. (Nothing takes the wind out of the sails of our detractors like being able to laugh at our own pratt-falls, right?)

I'm proud to know you.
