Going Rogue,

I seldom post anymore. And I seldom draw from old posts. I was trying to commiserate with Nickle because I think he was belittled so I drew from one of my experiences so he could see that changed wasn't picking only on him. That's not against the rules. Please point out to me exactly what was vitriolic about my post so I can run it by the moderator so he can assess if I was bludgeoning ex-pats. Also, you said I keep on doing this. Please give me other examples to support this because it appears to me to be a false accusation.

Lily,
You and Nickle are far too sensitive. That is the root of most of the problems you are facing here (IMO). And whether you know it or not, TLWF would like nothing better than to see this forum, where people have come forward to finally tell the truth of how things operated within that cult...finally disintegrate into petty squabbles. And if that happens, I still stand behind what I have conveyed here...sarcasm and all. And I will cherish the relationships I've formed with ex-pats through the years...who have gone through the same suffering, perhaps carrying it on somewhere else. I now know many of these people, and that can not be taken away.

Changedagain,

Gee, I wasn't aware I was facing any sensitivity problems here. Like you and anyone else on this board, I am allowed to defend myself and others from false statements. I too think petty squabbles are unfortunate. But like I said, we are all allowed to defend ourselves and others. Like you, I cherish my relationships with ex-pats too. I too know many of these people and that can't be taken away. People have been coming forward since this message board began to tell the truth of how things operated in the LW. I have not stood in their way or your way. I'm not the one complaining about your sarcasm. You need to take that up with Nickle.

Thank you for sharing.

This just in from an ex-pat:

What is too sensitive? Am I really an overly sensitive weirdo, or am I just...sensitive? And is that really such a bad thing, or is it just a thing? Should I toughen up? Is that even possible? Or was I right all along in thinking that my sensitivity is protection from people who don’t have my best interests at heart?

If I am being overly sensitive. You are probably being overly aggressive. In taking what I said out of context. And exaggerating it to the point where it appears stupid. That to me. Is a personal attack. I think the root of your problem here. Is you have by your own admission psychological issues. That started in your upbringing; yet, you blame all your problems on the LW.

Yup, you nailed it, Lily. You got me pegged.

Now...can we please return to the topic at hand--The Living Word Fellowship?
And if anyone decides to sneak in a comment about the royal wedding, I won't complain to the moderator. Trust me!
