To my fellow Redeemies:
It has been a pleasure to get to know some of you guys over the years I’ve played WoW, but after spending all day today on this game I’ve come to realize what a waste of time WoW is in my life. It really has no purpose. This game is a huge distraction from everything productive….and for a long time I was just fine and dandy with letting it consume my free time…but no more. I officially quit. I apologize to all my friends who will miss me and I bow to those who would probably rejoice at the idea.
There are a few things I’d like to mention quite honestly before I depart for good.
One: Redeemed is a wonderful guild idea. But because it is the idea of a Christian guild filled with the imperfectness of people, with all sorts of different Christian backgrounds, it will always have problems. So please…next time you think to gripe and complain about something that Redeemed isn’t doing well in YOUR opinion…just keep your mouth shut. What do you think your negativity will do in the end other than drive people apart or just make people not like you? Try to have a Christian attitude about things. (no, im not saying this in a pretty way and im not judging people….im trying to get you guys to take a step back and think about it)
Two: Going off on point number one….our leaders are put in place specifically by other members or other ToJ leadership and are chosen not because they are perfect….but because it was decided they could help lead Redeemed to what it is meant to be. I've seen them get worn down from negative comment after negative comment from people.They are not perfect so again….get off their backs. Do you have any idea how hard it is to be a leader and have to try and manage all sorts of different people? Do any of you think you can agree on one solution? No, because we're all different…God did that on purpose…so please be a little more understanding when the leaders make a decision that you specifically are not happy with. They discuss it among themselves, weigh it very carefully before deciding, and then choose what they feel is best for the guild. No, this does not always mean they will make the right choice but seriously…sending hate mail to the president after he’s already made a choice is a little pointless. I encourage you all to be a little more compassionate and thoughtful instead of selfish…or so blinded by self-righteousness that you isolate yourself within the guild. Be more encouraging to those who have to deal with you. (Im in no way saying I am exempt from any of these accusations. We’ve all had our bad days) I seriously pray Redeemed really can show a more Christian attitude in the future towards each other especially. Being nice you can do to anyone….being someone anyone can approach and share their heart with is another. Yes it’s a game and if you use that excuse for every time someone brings this point up then I highly recommend you leave Redeemed. Redeemed has become my family….and most treat each other as such.
Three: …I really would absolutely LOVE to call out some people. But I will not because it would be wrong. So I will simply say to everyone else….to please forgive them. And just as a general rule of thumb…don’t take what everyone says about someone else at face value. Observe someone with your own eyes and experience instead of going by what someone says about someone else….especially if it’s negative.
Four: To all you elitists in the guild…..uhg you guys annoy me so much sometimes haha! But I still like you because I know your hearts are in the right place. I just want to say to you all once again that Redeemed’s purpose is not to raid so when they are at a point of slumping in the raid department, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Therefore there is no excuse for you elitists who love to raid to be any sort of angry or irritated towards leadership if they are not doing as well as you had hoped in the raiding department. Just go ahead and leave the guild…please. We love to have you with us but if you’re going to be like that just …leave please.
Anyways, Redeemed has been good to me over the years and I hope and pray the guild will give you the friends it gave me.
I will miss you all sincerely though. Have fun and a good life

I love the raiding aspect which is why I took Healsalot to a more raid oriented guild. I kept all my other toons in redeemed because this is where I like to be to relax and have fun.
