I feel so without. I cannot function. I regularly am in crisis.
- I was raised since a toddler in a house full of explicit pornography and abuse, for which I am in clinical crisis therapy presently. I have been instructed by my therapist to break off communications with my family.
- I was harmed by a convicted pedophile school teacher who was fired but became an advocate of the LGBT community. I cannot understand why the LGBT lifestyle is accepted when it harbours pedophiles.
I am going to withdraw from this forum, because I think it is evil. There is nothing nice about this forum. It is either to ridicule someone, or to further hatred against the fundies.
Jennybeam, has lept out of the shadows and hit the cafe running.
I see that she is exercising her franchise and demonstrating fundamentalist tolerance by allowing us to read from her thread but demanding we not post to it unless we are Fundamentalists or Moral Absolutists.
I was kind of disappointed to see all the non fundy none moral absolutists hopping on the band wagon as I was wondering if there really was such a huge contingent of fundamentalist moral absolutists lurking in the shadows.
Luke in the 27th verse of the 14th chapter of his gospel records Jesus as saying. "anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple."
Recognizing that participation in the WonderCafe is not limited to those who are attempting to be disciples of Christ I still wonder how the above verse might apply to our virtual community.
In the context of the passage Jesus is commenting upon readiness and preparedness in undertaking certain ventures be they building towers or defending against approaching armies.
Twice in the last little while there has been an attempt to reveal sockpuppetry.
I understand why.
It has burned us as a community and some of us are new to the whole idea that people would feel the need to create another layer of hiddenness to their identity.
At any rate what was sown is being reaped.
Unfortunately they aren't the only ones reaping. We are doing a fair bit of it ourselves.
Seeds of suspicion have been sown how do we avoid the harvest such seeds will yield?
Some five months ago ground was broken here and we were invited to roll up our sleeves and much around a bit.
Our thoughts and ideas were to be the seed sown with the hopes that much good fruit would spring forth.
Some seed fell onto hard packed earth where it was quickly gobbled up by the beasts that crawl and the birds that fly. If some of that seed was yours what would you want to reclaim of it?
