I wrote you below about my comments, Passerby. I guess you did not read that. I think that when writing the words down (which I am not real well versed in yet) vs. speaking in person makes it difficult at best SOMEtimes to really understand what someone is saying. I could say that you sound aggressive. Maybe we both just get frustrated. For my part I will try to re read and think what someone else writes before answering to it. Then I will try to read my response and edit before sending it. Sometimes I think we are alot closer in what we would like to see re: the fam. than we may realize.
I liked Donnys point about the Nazis. When the Nuremberg trials occurred those brought to trial were the top officers and those identified as the most cruel. I think this is a very positive move. On the other hand, to take away the present leadership and put others in who are still following the same doctrines would seem to cause a repetition in one form or another of what has been, because people need to be unlearned in the ways of the family, if they are willing to be, or face the trials. Are you with me about recovery and support being offered to all that want to get on their feet after the family once out of it? Please check out the note I wrote you further down the board. Thanks.
