I did not see your Sam post Juni. But I know that there are some people that do know others personally and perhaps feel more comfort and trust with each other. Then there are those that never really went to any exer meetings or visited any exers other than via these boards. (Like me.) Some fit more comfortably than others. Some know a great deal more than others about other exers and who is whom when it comes to handles, etc. I have felt the same way in the past. Finally I got to a point where I utilize the info. that is helpful to me and screw it from there! When I first came on, a lot more direct anger was being expressed. There is no reason why yours is not valid too, but when a post is deleted, I suppose someone wrote to you about why they did so. I think it is great that you can express feeling as you do. And I hope you get feedback that will be helpful to you. I like reading your posts and feel a kinship regarding the warranted stages of anger.
I hope that I can be supportive to you as an exer and that you can feel safe in interacting via posts! Not everyone here is Christian. Not everyone that is a "Christian" holds the same doctrines or ideologies of what "Christianity" is supposed to be. That being said, I am glad for the diversity that is brought to this board!
