Beardedlady,
When someone asks a question , it is because they would appreciate knowing the answer to the question. There could be many reasons why the person that asked the question wanted to know the answer. When I asked Jay if he was ever in the City of Peace, I was serious. I believe that Jay has made a post on this board to get feedback from others. and I admire him, and all others here for haveing the courage to post here and not just stand by the waters and watch. The posters here jump into the waters. They are braving the consequences that could occur in the waters . You see, I see people here as those that are seeking to overcome their affliction. I do not beleive that any one here wants to stay drpressed. I return here because the peoplr here are my people. They are seeking to overcome. They are the bravest people that I know. They know that they are looked on as outcasts by the world. And I am an outcast. I know what it means and feels like to be an outcast. I know what rejection is. I know what ostracism is. Yes, I want to share my experiance with them because , perhaps, there is a chance that one of the least of my brethern here may "see the Rider on the White Horse". Maybe one of the least of my btrtheren may "see the Gate to the Road". And maybe they will overcome their depression. I will take the risk and brave the waters here on this board so that ,at least, I would have fought my best fight. When I was in the City of Peace, I was told, "It is better to please God than to please men. Endure the temptation to please men and you will receive The Crown of Life."
