Great...I presumed a response like that/yours could be possible and would have bet some Dollars against some odds...on the other hand the boards were pretty dead here, so I thought, this posts goes unnoticed like many others or at least without response...thanks for proving point one & disproving the other...
In any case, truth/fact can prove itself & so I don't have to go out of my way to make some lengthy point, why I post contents like that.
1) I have been in India & love that country, despite all the problems there are...I have a pretty good collection of Bollywood DVDs & wouldn't mind to travel thereto again some day...plus I am studying kind of daily the Times of India online & am keenly interested in events of all sorts...filing lots of articles on my HD.
2) Most of the articles which catch my attention the most & deeply move me, is how many couples, lovers of different ethnic/religious background have to fight all kinds of trouble from inlaws, including being killed, to make their love survive...I bet that'd move also you????
In consequence I post every now & then something of that sort...the time it moved me.I don't see any problem in that.Do you?
I am not sure, whether you're new to the board & know some other of my posts...I tried to open the discussion about scaling the evil...starting with a quote from Natascha Kampusch...her fate you might be familiar with...at the same time there are always the concentration camps, which come for me as a German readily to my mind.As you might know, it wasn't only the Jews who suffered in it...but the emphasis is for right now on the suffering...is there a scaling possible about it in general...I wanted to know.To myself my burden & problems seem huge, but by comparison they are insignificant.
It doesn't have to be India to have a comparison...saw just this week with my son a documentary about the sufferings of women and children in wartorn Kongo, entitled in the shadow of evil...it's horrific what they do to the woman there...severe abuse/mutilation as a form of warfare.
May be you are an SGA (that's the idea I got, while reading your post)...who suffered as a kid/teen in the horribly misguided sect of "ours"...
I beg your pardon then on behalf of "us", that we supported the group with time, labour & funds...
(I didn't participate in sexual abuse..so I don't
have to apologise for that, but rather for not fighting it, when the literature about it came up...though it was all very far away from me, the "upper households" were not my "daily bread")
However, it would may be worth a discussion among SGAs or on boards like these, whether it is some point in therapy or not - a possible avenue - to "feel" connected with the sufferings of others...
Why else then would SGAs take "comfort" in the fact, that the offsprings of scientology-members
went through similar ordeals & happen to share that now on their own website.Any idea about that???
As far as I am concerned, as I already hinted at, I take great "comfort" in the suffering of others...for me people who survive that, are the real stars...Natascha Kampusch happens to be one
& many others who suffer for their ideals/ideas.
I asked about that already several times on boards, but never got a reply...so may be you have an approach or may be it's irrelevant to you...
To sum it up: The post seems to portray facts of evil events elsewhere in the world, that evil deed doesn't nullify/minder/minimise in any way or should destract from the evils perpetrated in
TF...I hope that was clear enough...hoping you can respond beyond being sarcastic...which to be isn't too difficult in the times we live (have you noticed?)Have great times...
