Welcome to the world of exmember BBs. I have no idea why it happens this way. I'm wondering if it's because so many exers were so pent up for so long that when they have a chance to explode, they let it rip, feelings and civilty be damned - "no one's gonna put me in a box anymore" type of thing. You also have the dynamics of exmembers who have left but are still somewhat enamored to the lifestyle or way of thinking and it's hard for others to be around that cannot stand any shred of familiarity to the COG/FOG syndrome. Do you remember when you first realized how you had been duped and you didn't have to follow Berg and his insanity anymore, because it was all a sham? I just wanted to shout and scream on the rooftops and let the world know. When I saw supposed current members living on their own who were sending their teenagers back to live in the F., I wanted to take them and shout in their ear, shake some sense into them - "what do you think you're doing, you're crazy, don't you know how you are putting your children in harm's way?" When we get on this forum, we have the opportunity to do that and enjoy some annonyminity. Anyway, I suppose this is the wrong dialogue for Journeys.
