((hugs)) It totally bites how some people treat others--but that is a burden for them to bear. Being unable to defend yourself when lies are flying around about you is so very hard. I am so glad we are on the upswing of this all....we can start to let the past go and move on. Just saw your post and wanted to say ITU. ((hugs))

(((((((Crystal))))))))) You do sound hurt by this. But not at all defeated. You know that when you are following the Spirit you that everything will be okay. I really like the last part about reflection. Most times when people try to show me or flat out tell me that what I do, that what I believe, that in fact I am wrong it does bring me to a place of self-reflection. And usually through that I feel much stronger. I have most definitely BTDT. (((((((Crystal))))))))) You do sound hurt by this. But not at all defeated.

When there absolutely must be absolutes - or else you'd be forced to realize there's no reason for living as you've chosen to live. If you can make everything about 'us' vs. 'them' - if you can make it all about moral judgements - then it takes away a little of the fear engendered by the punitive dynamic. It's the same thing as a child tattling on their sibling...'God, see what they did. They are wrong!' to try to deflect the wrath they live in fear of.
