Good questions, Sharon. The reaction of this community to conflict says more about the tendency of some individuals to try to control life under the guise of doing what they think is for "the good of the majority." Were a "divorce policy" to be put in place it might actually help insulate others from joining a group that would try to dictate other people's lives to this extent. Understanding this helps me to not take all this personally. Unfortunately, I did not realize the true nature of this group until I had already invested myself and my family and leaving was too difficult. The impact this has had on me and my family has been enormous. I hope that lessons have been learned by all and no one else will have to go through such a painfully intrusive experience. But, unfortunately, I think that the heart of the matter remains in the shadows. -Karen Scheer Ashland, OR On Feb 15, 2014, at 9:00 AM, Sharon Villines <sharon [at] sharonvillines.com> wrote: > > Why would a divorce be treated any differently than any other conflict? > > Why would the community be any more involved than in any other conflict? > > Do you approve other community members? > > Rhetorical questions to shift the focus. > > Sharon > ---- > Sharon Villines, Washington DC > "I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a > desire to enjoy the world.
