Thanks guys,

We are a screwed up bunch of people trying to make sense out of something that happened in our lives that was senseless.
How profound. Thanks for sharing those thoughts.

Your welcome, my fellow Arkansan!

Leslie,
I would not take anything AnnB has said to you to heart.
The last time I had any interaction with her, she was just downright nasty and mean.
She seems to have absolutely nothing nice to say.
You're a wonderful person, purps, don't let someone as nasty as she is get to you, because she isn't worth it!

Back to the TOP!!
Its the real world on the internet..........its the real world.
Very true! It's too easy to forget that.
I agree 100% with you purps. And I hope you haven't been hurt by something someone said (I don't now the back story or anything on this). You're one of my favorites here and it would be a real shame for a newbie to treat you badly. Sometimes things get out of hand. I have many times posted and regretted it. Or not posted and regretted that too. I'm still trying to figure out how to integrate back into normalcy post-wt...and I'm not always successful. Things get so intense here sometimes. Hard to know what to do many times.
For instance, during one blow up, things got out of hand and then it went from being aired out in the open where people have more of a tendancy to keep things in check, to me receiving an unfortunate (for me) pm. That's the only time I've been on the receiving end of a nasty pm and it came out of the blue and really threw me for a loop. From a newbie too. I swore to myself I wouldn't come back. After all the emotional turmoil of being relatively new out of the cult, I just don't need that kind of crap.
I have wandered back here though, but not to the degree I was involved before. Funny thing is, is that the poster that did it has 99.9999% of the people on this board completely fooled as to their character. Everyone goes on and on and on about how "sweet" this person is. Blech. I've only seen one other poster who has this particular person pegged. Interestingly enough, that person also was on the receivng end of nasty pm's from this "sweet" newbie poster and for no good reason. I sometimes wish we didn't have a pm system here (many boards don't) because it just hides too much stuff and causes hurt feelings. I suppose though that it is nice for sharing email addresses and so forth so that people can get in contact outside of jwd.
Oh well...
I probably ran this topic right off the rails and into somewhere it didn't need to go, too. Like I said, kinda hard to always make the right judgements when you come out of a cult that always told you what to do and you have to start thinking for yourself. I feel grossly inadequate in the judgement making department sometimes...
ps, as commented on above, your glasses are hot.
OUTLAW:
Newbie`s have alot to learn,very quickly,in cyber world..I got my ass kicked and learned from it..Looks like you did the same..
One fellow I know said that it's like being force-fed with a firehose.
Yep! LOL

Just for the record, I wasn't the "sweet" who sent those emails, in case anyone looks in my direction. LOL Just thought I would mention that where it says "sweet" twice. But then I don't think people describe me as "sweet" either.
Glad to see you back LDB and posting. People get heated up, say stuff, in the moment, out of passion, sometimes regretting it, sometimes not. But I agree with Brin completely, it is so much better than the way things are at the KH, all smiles and backstabbing. That just plain sucks.
Don't worry, sweetstuff.
We figured you out a long time ago.
LOL!
