Cheeky, I am very sorry if you have low self-esteem. I hope that changes. I think you have a lot of qualities you can be proud of, courage, open-mindedness, you show a lot of empathy and try to consider things before answering, it seems to me. However, being a witness will not boost that too much. There was a big to do over at witness.net a good while back over some "brother" trying to boss the "sisters" who were posting around. Were you there for that? Did you read it? I posted strongly against it, the ladies involved stood up for themselves and the moderators came down on the guy pretty good telling him it was a little different on the net.
As a woman in the "truth" you have it a little tougher and have to be a little more humble. That isn't right, but it is so.
I am going to go up and post at the top on the role of the earthly class, I am aiming this post at trying to tell you how I percieve the way the Society treats the earthly class, Ok? I didn't want to say anything about low self-esteem up there, first because no one else is probably even reading this way down here, and second because that is personal and I wouldn't want to seem to be announcing it or anything. I wouldn't have guessed that you have low self esteem. I think you stand up for yourself real well! When I get the post together I will put it topside. By the way, thanks for all of your responses.
