  what i did was totally out of character for me.

  i had a sharp pare of scissors in my hand and i was just so angry.

  before i knew what happened i had thrust them forward... over and over... once i finally stopped i just couldn't believe the mess everywhere.

  hi, everyone ---.

  claire asked me to let the board know that ian is back in the hospital and expected to be there for about a week.. those of you who have been following the weekly vigil thread know that his cmv has returned.

  the virus is not responding adequately to the tablets, so ian needs to be medicated intravenously.. please keep ian and claire in your prayers.. marjorie.

  I'm sorry cognac. I can't imagine having to deal with that in your own house. Did I see you say that you had only been married a short time? :(

  My story: "Pop!" goes the Little Circuit Breaker

  i guess it's about time i write my story.

  i've put this off for a long time... primarily becuase, while i thought my story was bad, i've read so many worse and heart-rending stories here.

  i think, though, there is some therapeutic value in 'letting it all out' with others who know what 'it' was like.

  I'm glad you all had a good time. It's a shame this became such a brouhaha over "verifying" a new user. I suppose looking at the bright side is that coffee-black got to meet two nice ladies! (Glad to have you around cognac, hope hypnotic can get past the traumatic start and come check out JWD again.)

  There was a little girl in the KH where I grew up, she was a "mistake" and I can't really remember a week that went by that someone in her family didn't remind her of it in that not-quite-joking voice. I thought it was horrible then, and said so, but nobody listens to a teenaged girl in the Organization, even if her dad is one of the most intimidating guys in the hall. If it didn't come from an elder, it was less than worthless. Her step-grandfather turned out to be a kiddie rapist, btw.

  Thank you so much for sharing your tale. Sadly, I think this dirty underseam is not terribly uncommon in high-control religions. I'm glad you have your siblings (and a therapist) to talk this over with.

  Let me rephrase my deleted post to you BiKerchic: Can I take it by your actions that you support the demands of posters here to "verify" identity of new posters that have an interesting story? Can I take it by your actions that you believe that publicly shouting that you believe a new poster is a LIAR or that things sound fishy, and that you stand by your public suspicions until the poster proves themselves" is completely irrelevant to same poster being upset about someone she cares about being forcibly exposed?

  Are you insulting me as a moderator? or as a regular poster? Because if your personal attack is as a moderator, then I won't question it. But if your personal attack is as a regular poster, then I say BRAVO! your hypocrisy is showing again. Might want to tuck it back into your pants.
