The lurkers. Those who are here but don't comment

Please join in. I see names throughout the day or night that I never see in the comments. When you feel like you have something to say, offer it up. I am seeing many of you who lurk in the shadow but don't comment.
Don't think that your opinion or understanding is not worth something. For all we know, you are the missing piece. For any topic, really.
I encourage you to raise your voice on here or at least, throw an amen on something. You will see the regular voices here and that is normal for any forum.
You are reading this and considering a comment. Let yourself be heard, even if it be a side point.
I have been around long enough to admit that even the least person you might consider, has something valuable to contribute to the rest of us.
Nuff said.

No worries it’s usually just @Nomex showing off! 😆😆 None of us are experts on all fronts and there are certainly topics I’ve got no business commenting on and I leave it to those that do. But we all have something we can add even if just from time to time. I lurked on here for months before I made even one comment. I think like any conversation you get more out of it when you’re involved. 💜

I feel like I accomplished a little with this. I at least got a few of you to say hello. Glad you're here. I don't aim to push anyone. Participate at your comfort level. If reading comments is enough for you then so be it.

Now @Pattie29 you shouldn’t feel like that. I’m sure many of us here, including myself don’t think of our comments as all “wise and intelligent“ even though you are viewing the comments that way. That’s how ones in the congregation/ WT make you feel about your commenting.…Look at it this way…Jehovah knows your heart and is not impressed with intelligence and colorful language. Whatever you have to say, just say it from the heart...even if it’s funny!
You may say just the right thing someone needs to hear.
As I always say, we’re all in this together. 💜

Why do i allways have the feeling that what you are waiting for is someone to give you a push to say things that you have saved? I know that you and Bagdadbill are two of the most visible, and a couple of the new ones. Spill it you!

I like your style! Timing is everything.
I don’t know @BagdadBill are we the most visible? 🤔 I admit I can get over chatty - I’m blaming the middle child syndrome.

BTW, I remember lurking around for a little while before I started commenting, but only a little bit at a time. But because of reading all the comments, especially concerning the organization and the vax I couldn’t hold back from saying something. I also I couldn’t help but be drawn to you dear friends.…including Nomex the ‘show off’ telling it like it is.
Wow! I bet his ears are burning right now! Lol
But seriously, you friends have been so encouraging and at times, full of laughter.
You’re absolutely right Citrine, you do get so much more out of it when you get involved. 💕

@Citrine @Ms_ladyblue I am making up for all the times I had to keep my mouth shut at the KH, and eventually had to stop commenting because I refused to read from the paragraph, and the meetings had been so dumbed down. I as time went by, I guess I was worn down by what I had experienced as one of JW's as well, so now I can finally say what's on my mind, without people looking at me and thinking I'm demonized because I dare question anything from WT and the GB!
