Hey, this is Cloudy again(for the last time) and again, me making a thread doesn't mean something good.
Alright you guys, this is my last good-bye to Moonclan.....to Warriors...forever. Let me explain why I'm resigning from this and everything to do with warriors.
Lets start when I first discovered the clans. It was innocent of course, and I fell in LOVE with the books because it was everything I loved, from fighting to cats. But the more I read, I discovered Starclan, aka the dead spirits of the clans warrior ancestors. It bothered me alot because I don't believe in life after death and spirits aren't real and most definatly not good thing. But I ignored the feeling and continued reading and eventually, this site was made. You can't BELIEVE how excited I was to finally put my RPing skills to action in a subject that I actually knew about! I had never felt more alive and happy. But then, I read more, and the site went on. Starclan was popping up everywhere and my concious was starting to bother me again. And once again, I ignored it and continued reading and posting. But then, I started to feel bad for ignoring my own faith and decided that I would make my character, Rainstar, die and leave the site. But everyone wanted me to stay and continue......and eventually, the books and site won out again and I continued. But now, I have realized that what I am doing is wrong and goes against what I personally believe in. I have finally started to see the dark side of those books and everything that comes with them.
Now why the heck am I leaving? What exactly is my faith? Well I am a Jehovah's Witness and as one, I believe with all my heart that the dead do not live on to go into some kind of spirit realm where they mingle with their dead ancestors.(Ecclesiatics 9:5, 6, 10 ; Ezekial 18:4, 20) NO WAY. You can see how this would pose a threat to my spiritually and my faith, with Starclan and all. There were times when I tried to ignore Starclan. I would think: "Well if I don't believe in Starclan and if my characters don't then I'll be alright. I wont be compromising my faith for fun." I was wrong. My heart and concious troubled me day and night about me and these Warriors books and sites and I've been ignoring them both. But now is the time for me to take a stand. I am not going to be going against my beliefs for all this, especially when I know it is wrong to do. So I must leave you all. You can still talk to me over FB or call/txt me but never again am going to read a warriors book or go on another warriors site. I know all too well how God views what I have been doing and it is time for me to do what is right.(Galatians 5:19-21 ; 1 Corinthians 10:21) (Deuteronomy 18:10-12) I dont know why it has taken so long to do so, but I am finally "opposing the Devil and he is fleeing from" me. (James 4:7)
More info: Medicine cats and leaders both have prophecies in dreams and fortell events, sometimes going to starclan to gain their blessings or to communicate with them or perhaps to have reassurance that an action they take will be blessed. The Bible goes directly against this, for all that is associated with the warriors is spiritistic and the cats practice spiritsm. (Isaiah 8:19 ; Leviticus 19:31) And Satan is the one behind all of these evils. (2 Corinthians 11:14, 15)
I am not saying that you all need to leave to. I made my personal choice, now you can make yours.
Love, Cloudy <3
