It was fun being on here and I learned a lot of things. I'm now trying to be more focused on Christian events and fellowship in real life (luckily the tri-state are has plenty, denomination is not of much concern to me), and especially I want to stay away from all interdenominational drama/bashing other denominations. I just wrote a letter to the editor of one of my favorite newspapers, Catholic New York, in response to a surprising hostile article about Orthodoxy. Okay... I ain't got time for this. We're all in this together and need to hold hands, not undermine one another while times are tough for us all.

TAW is an interesting group of people, mostly converts from what I see. Some of the ppl are great. I wish you guys all the best. I hope you find fulfilling relationships with the Lord, and your salvation.

Love and hugs,:wave:

Mariya

So let me get this straight. Mariya tells us she's done with TAW the 28th of April or so, now it's the 18th of May and she's still here answering this thread. :o:confused::p

It's normal to become a lurker. Nothing wrong with that. Different people are in different places in their lives. For some, participation here, despite the general polite and friendly atmosphere, is nevertheless a spiritual downer. For others, it lifts them up.

:p Oh you should know me by now, Rus. I'm a big cut-up. Just playing around. I was about to say, "I'm leaving!" then "I'm serious!" then "I'll do it!" "I'm not kidding, people! I'll do it!" :p:D

I usually laugh at people who make a dramatic announcement when leaving a forum. So, I'm also laughing at myself for creating this thread at a moment when I was really annoyed with inter-denominational drama of which TAW sees plenty. But the truth is, I really am trying to pull away from forums in general. As I feel my loneliness - spiritual, familial, social, romantic - more and more acutely, I also feel that online communication is making it worse rather than better. Lately I have been trying to take every opportunity to connect to people in real life, and I am glad to say that I am seeing the rewards. So, hopefully it will stay this way.
