Not terribly obscure.. but how about a watermark? Evidence of the highest water has risen.. or something on paper seen when it's held up to light. (might be hard with cameras.. dunno.) Ooo.. how about "Cross". lots of things for that one.. Image of a cross.. of someone who is cross.. of someone...

While technically I could, I do not feel comfortable doing so. And even if I did, it wouldn't be anything new to you. So.. so I'll just not, ok? If someone else wants to, they can. And if you want more of an explanation, you can, of course, PM me.

Thank you the hugs, Liz.

You say who you are. No one else. You are the only one who has a say in who you are. By your consent or not, no one else gets to decide who you are but you. I don't think anyone can make you see it, can get you to realize this. I'm sorry about that. All I can do is tell you it's true. Maybe it...

Catherineanne, what was most causing me to feel troubled was here.. so surely staying here as I had been would not alleviate the stress. That was why it was (rapidly, for me) obvious that I could not stay here like I had before. Anyhow, I'm not "hiding from what friends I have". At least, if I...

Then you missed it the first time around. It makes me kind of angry (and certainly quite frustrated) that you think it's such a good idea now but didn't address it at all then. Grrr. Someone in this part of CFsuggested already. But she didn't get recognition, only grief. Sigh. Venting over.

The funny thing is.. If you look at it one way, we're all one already and always have been.. Of the same species, sharing the same planet (or universe, in any case, if we ever really break from here).. and deserving of the same respect. We are people, all of us. We are one. But if you look...

Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary. A person without faith, without my faith, or without enough of my faith. Basically.

My guess is that the Life Stages forums were created with something like that in mind to begin with. Like they're clubs and some clubs have restrictions. Anyone can belong to at least one of them.. but no one can belong to every one of them. If there was a class of people that weren't allowed to...

If I'm doing well enough, I can put it in more concrete terms if that would help.. Substitute a group for "certain people". It'd probably be offensive, though.. but let me know if you need that.

Rochir, I PMed you.. if you really do want to help make me feel safe, please let me know if you can do either. It's important to me.

Apparently there are basic things you're not understanding. I don't see that anything relating to "employees-only" can apply to anything but staff-only places or something like that. Nor does the department store concept work for me. Instead, let's say it's a neighborhood or a town.. One day...

Then may I suggest making a corner? That would not require kicking people out of places. And I will admit, I wonder why you need to have a little corner reserved for Christians to feel safe.. somewhere that no one else can be no matter why they'd like to, what they'd say, or, outside of belief...

But posts will be edited for content. Why is that not good enough?

Read my thread again. Instead of asking what is wrong, perhaps ask what is right, maybe? What is right about me (or anyone) not being welcome (or worse, suddenly being unwelcome) in places according to how they are (as opposed to how they act or what they say)? I will give that there is nothing...
