This forum is someplace for peace.

I used to come here to find support and peace. When the forum gets in a knot like this it is upsetting to me. I'm talking for myself. Not sure if anyone else is going through this. It's a place that I don't want to go away... but the arguments take it away from me. I want to focus on good things. I want to talk about recovery. I want to talk about theology and the crazy stuff that goes through my head. Can't talk about it when there's a big argument going on. It takes all the energy away from the topics. It's like a black hole.. sucking all the energy away from the good stuff and into the bad.

Good for you for speaking up, (((Willow))). I've not been doing well lately, but I too have felt really drained by some of the recent posts.

What theology are you working on right now? Maybe if you can take the risk to post your concerns about that, you can help us get re-focused.

Blessings to you and yours this night--

Love,

She says it is not a good place for me when I am being verbally insulted. But, I don't want to leave because of all the other loving and understanding members that are here. What's a survivor to do???

:( These last few days of postings have just astounded me. I can't believe what I am reading tonight, even!:(

HUGS Theo.... well... most of it was being discussed nicely in the posting about where did religion start. But that has gotten completely sidelined now.

I just like talking about the normal stuff here.... not all this dramatic stuff.

Illlum... I'm just ready for that thread to stop. But people keep posting there... and I keep reading... like a dumb blonde. The more I read... the more wound up I get. And well... I guess it's just gotten to my threshhold.

The bump game sounds a lot more fun.
