I didn’t structure the sentence well AT ALL! I meant for it to read that so many horrible thoughts had to be going on in their mind before jumping. Thoughts about everything.. family, friends, loved ones, God, Heaven, leaving a life... just coming into their brain at once. I fully understand them jumping... I would have done it myself if I was placed in the same situation.
“”I would have done it myself if I was placed in the same situation.””
As would I.....Lost a mother-in-law in a house fire and it was too horrible to even imagine what she went through...
I knew exactly what you were expressing.
I’m sorry other FReepers took the opportunity to accuse
of something you didn’t do.
I don’t know, but I wonder, too, if some of those poor souls had that thought, and I know our loving God wouldn’t even consider counting it against them.
Bless you for sharing your heart. One thinks FR is a safe place to express such anguish. Don’t apologize to anyone else. It’s their problem, not yours.
I think you did just fine. No reason for some crank to jump on you.
I understood you perfectly fine.
Of course, I also “know” you and know you are not any kind of “jerk”.
I understood what you meant...that very thought might have passed through my mind in that horrible, horrible situation. I probably would have asked for forgiveness as part of a final prayer before I leapt.
I don’t know how much of the coverage I can watch this weekend. I got choked up just watching Hannity’s show tonight. 9/11 seems like it was just yesterday, not 10 years ago.
I knew what you meant, and took no offense. As I read down the thread I was surprised to see so many freepers attacking you.
I understood what you meant as well - don’t take offense from those who are bagging on you.
Remember the fallen 9/11.
Don’t worry about it.
I understand.
Perhaps you shouldn’t be so quick to jump on the ‘religious fervor’ (bitter, gun clinging, so forth) bandwagon. That would keep you from making comments that paint believers with such a broad stroke. Take care.
There is a photo of at least one jumper who appears to have already had much of their clothing burned away. For some, jumping probably prolonged their life a few seconds.
Again, I apologize. I understand. Thank you.
