I really do think this is the final curtain call for me on the NOISEboards.

Since joining in 2002, my views have become more than well known, and I've received a lot of feedback, both good and bad, about what I stand for.

But at this time, my spiritual walk needs tending to, and my opinions get me in more trouble than what I had hoped, and/or anticipated.

I'll come on every once in a while, possibly under a new name, but yeah, maybe it's time to move on...there are things I must do in my life that, right now, can't be accomplished with outside "distractions" such as endless debates.

Anyway, thanks to all of you, and don't think this is a "retreat," but rather a replenishing of the mind, body and spirit.

May God bless each and every one of you, and though many might not believe in the only true God, I pray your spirits will be convicted to turn to Him for guidance and spiritual matters.

Sorry to get off topic here with the preachiness, but this is something God wants me to do, and I'm going to do it.

My website is still up, as well as xanga and AIM.

Have fun.

Buh-bye Joey, you will truly not be forgotten. God bless you too.

See how cycle-ish that word is? If you even question or talk about racial issues and you're a white male conservative Christian, you're tagged as racist.

That, to me...sucks.

Amen. It's a pity I never really got to discuss politics or spiritual matters with you. Your opinions would be interesting to debate. However, I'm sure Bushsupporter and Redrepublican will continue to provide me with things to ridicule.

I had a spiritual awakening again ...basically replenished my armor.


But:

So long as he avoids racism, I hope he continues to stand up for what he beleives in.

That is quite broad. Racism can mean anything offensive to a particular group of people. I can be against illegal aliens using up taxpayer-funded welfare services, and I'd be deemed a racist.

Joey, why don't you stick to yoru word?

And you think God told you to make this thread? You sound like Joeseph Smith or that lunatic from the Branch Davidians. Are you so full of yourself that you think God is 'endorsing' you to convert non-believers like he did to Christ?

I believe the coalition also came back after pretending to be a hoax. So it looks like we have zombie coalition on our hands.

Unfortunatly he came back to life. That makes him a zombie.

Has the thought that maybe he isn't racist ever crossed your mind? I don't think you guys truly understand the things that he says.

That's like the jewish saying:

"As long as Hitler is civil to us, we don't care what he does."

So long as he avoids racism, I hope he continues to stand up for what he beleives in.

Yeah uptown so did I. I figured that it was some sorta thing trying to kill him off. hmm Interesting. Anyways, Joey I hope that you come back often. YN will not be the same without you.

I always thought the death of Joey Dauben would be at the hands of a select group of YNers, and would be covered up by some crazy conspiracy theory, because that's how he would have wanted it.

I am going to miss Joey... I might not have known him long, but i like some of his views so that accounts for my liking him.... And yes, i also hope for Joey's hopes that someday people would turn to God for guidance, strength and happiness. I think that is what God wants us to do all along... to make disciples of man, to follow in God's ways and most of all, to be united..

Somone who registered today is going to miss arguing with Joey. Am I missing something?

I'm almost sad to see he's gone...almost.

The only thing I am going to miss is agruing with you...I ain't going to wish you luck..but I will say have fun...

No, the current fan of Joey is another person I'm best friends with *sarcasm*

Good.

Eh, Im over it.
