AnonymousDidn’t quite know where to put this. There is a place for Meet and Greet, but no place that I can see for “Moving On.” Maybe this place was originally for that. Wanted to let you folks know a little about what I have been experiencing over the last few months and let you know why I am going to disappear in a few days from TLS.
I have not spoken to anyone about this, so it will come as a bit of a surprise maybe to David and other folks who have read and liked my posts here. I am tired of the discussion. I have been discussing these kinds of issues now going on about 10 years since I was first made aware of the problems with the church and Christianity, and I think it is 10 years too long. I don’t want to see another post on the subject. Please do not take offense if you are posting these types of posts here at TLS. I have been proud to be a part of this community of friends these last few months and am so proud of what you folks are doing here. This is a lovely and a safe place and I am so honored to say I was a part of it for a short amount of time. People who read my stuff might be able to tell where I have been if they look at a few of my more recent comments. Those comments are pretty much filled with a dry kind of humor, because it has been very difficult for me to take any of this stuff seriously lately. That being said, I loved reading all your stories and meeting you folks.
If you are my FB friend I am grateful for that, and hope to carry on that online friendship. I will also ask to be removed from the secret group so that those notifications do not pop up on my wall. Again, I am just in a place now where I want silence when it comes to the subject of church, Christianity and spirituality. This has nothing to do with the warmth and love and acceptance I have felt here from you. I will ask David to remove me from membership in a few days. Until then I will stop back by to read your comments. Love you, and God bless you all. – John
Wow John you have no idea. I totally get it! Hope to continue our online friendship. I will remove you from the group
AnonymousThanks Pam, please wait for a few days and I will let you know when to remove me.
I’ll miss you around here, but I hope to keep in touch on FB from time to time! And I hear you…I can’t seem to stomach the discussion much at all myself anymore!
Totally understand. There are seasons in life and for a while this space served a purpose for you and now it’s time to move on. I have my days too, but am not quite ready to move on. Godspeed to you, John.
AnonymousTotally get it.
take care
Sad. Thanks for sharing this with us John.
Understandable. Well, if you ever get the itch to discuss again someday down the road…don’t be a stranger
Good luck to you
I understand completely. I like the banter, philosophical touch here and there. Meeting new people and I really do enjoy looking at spirituality from different vantages points. Safe and Loving journey to you.
Sorry to see you go, but I get it.
I definitely understand, and self-care is important when it comes to these things. I’m glad to have had the chance to meet and befriend you. I do still talk about this stuff, so feel free to ignore anything I put up on FB that isn’t about my kids. LOL! (Actually, you can ignore that too–I never think people should be obligated to think my kids are awesome.) May you find peace & joy in your journeys.
AnonymousYou folks are all so damn sweet…
Thanks for the farewells… Hope to see you folks online, and @Amy I already told you I could read your stuff all day long… Phooey.
I understand, but phooey anyway. I’ve really enjoyed having you here – wishing you blue skies and fair winds!I’m beginning to appreciate that TLS is, for some people, a temporary place.
Wade.
John sorry to see you leave but I wish you the best. Who knows, maybe we’ll see you again
