acoa sanctuary Community Group
The softer side of growing up in a dysfunctional home... a sanctuary to feel home with friends and never alone.
Not naming names here... but anybody who was around the board at all knew who I was and how to get a hold of me. I think it is pretty obvious by now there is one person who will not have anything to do with this board... EVER.
But do I have the right to not share with someone where we are? Are we practicing principles before personalities or are we only going to worry about our old clan and hopefully some fine new members from DS.
I was asked tonight by a member who has been silent for quite awhile where I had gone and other members. I made small talk with her and thought it was over for the night... well I got another e-mail asking more about my news and where we were.
I finally cut it short for the night and asked "I thought you were pretty active in the chat room?" I got uncomfortable with the "bang-bang-bang" questions. Is she spying or is she really worrying about being left alone and having no idea where anybody went.
I do hope we hear from a few more friends but this one RIGHT NOW is leaving me with an upset stomach. I think for now I'm going to side step the question and not say where we are... I just don't know if that is working the program with helping others...
Well it is way past my bedtime...
Have a good night everybody
Love & Peace
Dave

But it was about a homeless bum. And he said, "Not to turn your eyes from the homeless or anyone else, because that person may be the angel you need today."
People who I truly despise and want nothing to do with are people that can also teach me... if I am tolerant and ready to learn...
Weather it came from hearing complaints and feeling it necessary, or just wanting to thump his chest, I don't know. Doesn't matter. To me, it seems he didn't ask the important questions of the right people. He didn't act for the group conscience. He didn't do due diligence. So he was either stupid or lazy about a very important service that he was supposed to be doing on our behalf.
So the desire it to hunker down and protect ourselves. Seems to me that the only real problems on that board was about two people; one perhaps, telling tales and the other making a sweeping decision based on it.
I think once things calm down a bit, we'll find that our board can absolutely accomodate pretty much every single person from the old one, bar none. As long as we have someone to do that certainly thankless task of moderating. Wthout a board owner trying to become our Higher Power.
Show him your bow fingers Dave!
P.S. Can't you let us know who so we can all be aware also. I for one seem to be quite ignorant and would appreciate some insight so I can be careful too and no I am not asking out of any salacious intent but to be armed just in case as much to my chagrin i have found out recently that some of the people that i thought were ok were actually not.
So very glad you finally made your way home.... we are fine and OK... I was just shooting out some hypothetical's
