Nope, this group is not private.

Anybody can read the posts here, but you have to be a member to post.

Many of your posts will also show up on a Google search. Just type Effiesteffie dailystrength in the search bar of Google and many of your posts will appear.

This is why we warn everyone NOT to give out any personal information on the public board---phone numbers, names, email addresses, etc. Those can be seen by anyone.

yea, when you search for this group it doesn't come up in the list of groups and it says i haven't joined any groups also.

Ok on your home page there should be something that says support groups wich group like family of prisoners come under then another section that is for groups like this one so hear they are classified as two different things I think.
No this group is not private! It comes up on Google search so please take note of the advice Rew has given!

You will have a list of support groups and other groups. Mine shows me as in the support group "Families of Prisoners" and my other group is this one. But as everyone else has said, this group isn't private, which has it's advantages and disadvantages. I would have never found this group if it was private, a disadvantage becuase we do have trolls that love to read this site and blog lies about all of it's members.

As a note, our "friend" Val reads this board to find fodder for her pathetic blog. She actually took one of my posts and pasted it to her blog. Didn't deny anything I said. Here it is from her blog.

This is for Coolrich001
Val is a person with little self worth. She has such a low opinion of herself that she needs to target and damn others. Vigilantes have said many negative things about me over the years. That is because they do not know me, only my plea. Besides, I do not want to know them. Evil people are not my social choice! I dare Val to copy this on her blog!! Social choice?? Don't worry Coolrich001, I doubt we will ever run in the same social circles---crack me up.

I found this site through Google as well. I'm so thankful that I did because I've met a great group of people that have really encouraged me and help me understand what I never really was able to process growing up.

I was just scrolling through my profile and I noticed it said I hadn't joined any groups. so when I started to scroll through the list to look for this one it wasn't there.

It's so sad that there are people that have to publicly humiliate someone that they don't know or understand. Unfortunately there is always going to be somebody that validates their existence by putting a mark on somebody else.

Effie,
I have been targeted many times in the past decade or so by people like Val. I find it pathetic on their part. What is even more pathetic was her answer to me. " Social choice?? Don't worry Coolrich001, I doubt we will ever run in the same social circles---crack me up."
By not responding to what I said about her psychological makeup, she validated it. Either that, or she is not educated enough to respond in a meaningful way. Regardless, all I can assume is that she knows her own failing.
All she is concerned about is the personal and social aspect of what she does. She has no concern for society as a whole, unlike us.

Hopefully this won't get censored, but if you are looking for a PRIVATE forum, you could sign up for the SOSEN forums. They screen people before letting them into the forums in order to keep certain trolls of the reptilian persuasion from entering.
