I can only wish, perhaps, in my dreams that all who visit this site can unite. When we see each other in heaven, we can reminisce. Talk about the Simons of the world, how he kept confusing Sarah. Talk about FTOS, how he fought for what he believed. Talk about Joshua who was like Saul but with a heart like Paul (same person). Talk about Emil who wont quit in her pursit, and Renita who had her uniqueness, and everyone else. Mountainmom who held strong, Stained, who won’t take rubbish, Elaine, Elie, whom i missed, KF, Ouestioning LA, who always appeared philosophical,fedupmom who never said too much, genny who held her own, Liberty, Rebecca, Smurf, whom i never spoke to, J. Nazoreth, King, whom appear once in a while, J. Escariot, who once said hi, and Admin, who kept helping to Make sure we didn’t post derogatory comments……
And, WMS brother, who won’t speak anymore.
I wish……

Just wanted to say, the PM feature is fixed and we can now send info to each other again if anyone wants me to get a list going of people who might want to be contacted for a face to face get together sometime in the near future. I think it is really important that we have a network of contacts and that we meet. One of the things my relative likes to say is that the internet is evil (tree of knowledge thing) and he doesn't believe anything on there, (except the wmscog sites, I guess) I think you all come up against that as well. If we know the actual people, not just on the internet, we can remove that excuse. Also, to know each other and be able to talk helps us all cope. I remember feeling so alone, so depressed about this, and no one really understood what I was going through. It helps to have support, in fact, it really saved my life as I know it. Lets pursue this get together, I am willing to do a lot of work for it.
You already know I'm willing. =)
I would also like to have people PM or just say on the forum if they are hesitant to have a meeting organized and why if possible. Then I can see what barriers there might be.
No takers except Renita? Or are you still thinking? Renita, you are my hero! I know some others out there would want to have a mini conference, I just don't know what is holding them back. Well, cost and time off would be factors, but this is a very important topic and support groups are essential. Organization is essential if we are to be effective.
They're afraid of their identity being revealed. I bet Joshua would want to meet up.

lol
It's true. She's making chicken and all sorts of black people food.
chicken? you know how to tempt me
I am the temptress.. =)
Haha, you and Simon are too funny! And yes, Simon, you could stay in my spare room and Renita in the other! No fighting though, kids. By the way, Joshua would definitely be there. I already know that. Fun times, really!
I'll go if Joshua goes. I trust him. Not that I don't trust you, it's just that I trust Joshua enough to go to your place if he says you're good people. =)
I pm'd information weeks ago. But maybe it wasn't received, as there were issues with the pm's a few days ago. I can pm you again MountainMom.
Yes, Liberty, please PM me again. I did not receive it. That goes for anyone else that tried, too. I couldn't receive anything for a while.

I also wish we could meet. I have suggested that we get together to some people who PM'd me. I even have a member of this forum who would provide a place for a gathering, and I thought that was very generous. I have personally met several people on this forum and talked to others on the phone. We really should get together.
I guess that maybe I am taking this too literally, and you mean get together in a better world, but I really think we should gather for real, in the near future.
I don't think FTOS would come. Not because we wouldn't want him to, but as his choice. When I talk to him, I think he could even be the relative that I have in the wmscog. He says similar things, especially when he gets mad! Remember FTOS, that I said I still love this relative of mine in the church, even though he has caused us so much pain with his association with this group. I try to remember that when I talk to you,FTOS. I may not always be easy on the group, (It's doctrine is totally false) but I do know there are good people in there. I want to help them get out, so they can get their lives back, physically, fiinancially, AND, not least of all, spiritually.
Actually it's funny because we actually were quite similiar in our jokes and sarchasim. Last year when he came back from Turkey with his wife, I would ask him "So did you eat a lot of Turkey?" Most people would just laugh and that'd be the end of it, but he would try to come back with something like, "you know they wouldn't let me eat'em because they laid golden eggs, golden turkey eggs go figure." then I would say something else that made even less sense, we would go back and forth like that. It only made sense to the both of us actually. When other people listened they would just think we were strange.
That particular comment doesn't sound like him at all. It sounds totally made up.
I'm not saying it for sure is made up, but definitely doesn't sound like him, FTOS. I also was wondering why you didn't want him to go to Turkey. I know that is true for sure.
I didn't say I didn't want him to go.
FTOS, you aren't a regular in the Chicago Zion are you? I know my relative is still in services there, and you are on the computer talking on the forum, so you can't pososibly be attending services with him, yet you act like you know him so well. I really doubt you know him better than his family. It doesn't sound like you know him very well at all actually. Maybe you know some things he has been doing, but you don't know him well, I can tell that.
Maybe you are just trying to intimidate me off the forum. I've been trying to protect his identity, and you have been trying to "out" him. What is your purpose there? You aren't just making friendly conversation.
