With that kind of agenda...calling people fuckers. I hope we never stoop to that level. I don't care to see that kind of mud-slinging and petty name-calling on this board. Anyone who wants to talk like that should not consider coming to this board. As I've said before, if it's just Acheick talking to Acheick, then that's what will happen if it means keeping an environment condusive to healing and discussing the main issues of the F. and the problems related to it. I'm sorry that some people have taken it so personal about this question that was posed. If people were to read my comments, I think they would see that I have no problem with be-friending F. people to a point. But I do have a problem when those people are big-name leaders directly responsible for the stuff we read about on MovingOn. AND that those leaders always have an agenda and it behooves us to warn our brothers and sisters that they very likely are putting themselves in a position of being used. We all know how F. leaders operate.
For me, to go to a fellowship set up by exmembers and have current members ask my husband if we are still into "sharing" - that's just too much for me. That hurts deep and apparently, some people don't understand how deep. I'm sorry that Jane and Joseph don't understand why I would feel that way and that I don't care to be friends with F. members and that it's not something I think is even beneficial and could very likely be very detrimental. However, I have a right to my opinion and it would be nice to be able to express my opinion without being dragged through the coals and called all manner of evil things and accused of all kinds of things I never did, simply because I'm expressing my viewpoint. I certainly never called Jane and Joseph fuckers or anything even close or went on some kind of vindictive campaign such as what I'm hearing about. That's sad and pitiful.
