Trust your instincts, *summer*.
Your mind is trying to protect you from being manipulated.
However, the draw of a cult is very strong.
They all seek to capitalize on fear and alienation, both to gain new members and to retain existing ones.
Best of luck to you as you deprogram yourself.
Hi summer!
I'm glad winter did not scare you away. I must admit I thought you and he were one and the same, playing a little trick on us.
I'm glad you are still here.
Once again, welcome.

Welcome summer glad you are here with us. Don't let small minded people scare you off. Believe it or not us apostates for the most part, are caring, normal folks.

Welcome!! Glad to have you here...(and glad I missed winter all together!!)
Welcome to the board, summer. You have found a treasure trove of good people here, with the occasional troll who shows up. Those people are actually sick though they may not know it. The anonymity of the internet provides them cover for their deviant ways. I doubt they have any real relationships in their everyday world that give them comfort and sustenance, and so they seek those things in this twisted way. You are among true friends here.
Welcome Summer
Welcome summer....I'm sorry you had to experience a nasty troll so soon after you joined us. For the most part, this forum is a wonderful way to get questions answered and get support.
To be honest, I haven't seen many trolls until lately. Soon they'll get tired from being deleted over and over and just go away.
Anyway, welcome.
Summer...Welcome.
So glad the troll didn't make you run for cover. I had to leave the board last night too because
of his antics. These things happen now and then. Just glad you're back. If you have been
lurking for a while, then you obviously knew his appearance was unusual for our little family
here at JWD. Hope you find a cozy little spot amongst us.
Welcome, "summer." I hope you will be here Fall, Winter, and Spring! There are a lot of good people here. You'll see.

Again, thanks to each and everyone of you. as i sit here, i notice there is another "troll" episode on this board. and yes, it is too bad that this happened at the same time that i joined. but this time, i will not run for cover. and please, i want to honestly tell you all that i have absolutely NO connection whatsoever with this *winter* person that appeared yesterday. and i feel bad that today, he is using the names of two other decent posters. from now on, i will not even acknowledge a troll's presence or comments. life is too short. i choose to spend my time with nice people:-) *summer*
