  I had no reason to ever question the validity of who Trevor and Linda were. I believed. Isn't that what friends do, TRUST? support?

  I considered them to be my friends, I extended friendship.

  I can't begin to understand how this happened. I refuse to blame it on the internet. Some of the best freindships I have cultivated, started from a Hello at a discussion board, chatroom or email.

  My ex-husband wound up being a fraud. Hell, I slept with him and had five kids with him!!!

  Trevor wound up being a theif. A thief of my time. Any time I spent, making drawings, each line painfully drawn to give to a woman at the end of her life, sending emails to other posters, going to the gift shop, going to the post office, saying.........not today to my daughter, last weekend, to grieve and help other posters grieve a fictious death.

  I have been in the audience and a particapant in this great escapade. What a drama! No Hollywood movie has had me so captivated. Trevor deserves an Oscar, a comedy, tragedy, love story, throw in some religion, a death, throw in some mystery .........WOW a best seller! I want my royalties!

  Sadly, I may have not learned anything from this, I will continue to love and reach out.

  I will say this,

  I will never sit at my msn messenger again and think, Brits are a bit weird about how they do things and dismiss it!!!!!! LOL If its weird to this southern girl from Arkansas, its gonna be weird all over the world!!!!!!!!

  Warm hugs to my fellow friends,

  Purps, I was thinking about this too, that it is almost as if I was reading a book over the past YEAR. I actually never have seen a picture of "Linda", yet if you asked me a week ago if I knew what she looked like, I would have had to think about it...because in my head, I have "seen" her. I guess he does deserve an Oscar.

  I think you are dealing with it admirably dear Purps. Like you I feel I wasted a lot of time and effort unnecessarily, which I could have spent better elsewhere. However 99.9% of the people I have met here have been incredibly rewarding in terms of friendship and are easily worth a dozen of the ones that turn out to be fraudulent.

  I am in shock - though still waiting to see that final verdict. Is it confirmed?

  I am saddened and sickened if so.

  Thanx Nina for the email. And purps for the phone conversation last nite.

  Perhaps your time was not stolen, purps. Perhaps it was borrowed so that others could see your wonderful talent.

  I would never have known what a gifted artist you are, had it not been for the lovely things you posted. Maybe others would not have, either.

  If nothing else, at least we're all getting to know each other a bit better after this round of fraud. It is a pisser. I feel so foolish, and yet, whatever.

  There will always be real people in real need at this board. We just gotta' take the good with the bad I guess, and keep ourselves safe.

  I cried a couple of times over Linda, being reminded of the death of a close friend to breast cancer and her husband's death this summer. They were more like parents to me than my own living JW parents.

  Now I'm processing my own grief and anxiety over an abuse issue which I want to talk about here, but, alas, I am completely disgusted, all-around, and feeling very vulnerable . . . thank goodness there are others in my world who know where I am physically and emotionally, and who really care! Still, none of them were JWs or know what it's like to cope with that, on top of a family's denial and sickness, coupled with "theocratic warfare" to cover up their shame.

  And now there are all these silly people making up stories for attention. Well, every one needs attention, but why can't some people figure out how to get it in undamaging ways? I feel so frustrated. Anyway, whatever.

  Be well, all.
