from Randi Wednesday, November 12, 2008 - 02:08 (Agree/Disagree?) Typical... you dont know where your family is? Sounds too familiar for comfort. What a joke (reply to this comment)

From comfort Wednesday, November 12, 2008, 04:26 (Agree/Disagree?) I think you're either too familiar with the problems relating to TF's family-policies & thereby stifled to have some word of comfort here, therefore too familiar for comfort or you can't relate much at all & then it's bad (IMO) to comment in that way, for it's not a joke, unless someone is very cynical, if someone looks for his or her brothers & sisters.(reply to this comment)

From Randi Wednesday, November 12, 2008, 09:51 (Agree/Disagree?) That is probably the wierdest tid bit I have read in like... well...a year. I think you may have just convinced me to sign off this site...getting way too strange. Anyway...it is very typical that many of us are looking for our own families. I spent years not knowing where my parents were... so I stand by my comment... "too familiar for comfort.." as in I can relate so much that it hurts.  (reply to this comment)

From Phoenixkidd Thursday, November 13, 2008, 09:51 (Agree/Disagree?) This is all too common with members or ex-members of the cult that they can't even find their family--pitiful.  (reply to this comment)

From not to mention Thursday, November 13, 2008, 11:56 (Agree/Disagree?) the whole MAT 10:37 mentality we were forced to abide by. Talk about being brainwashed... though i must say it does make it easier when your avoiding your parents...History-- Bah! It really is pitiful!(reply to this comment)

From Fish Saturday, November 22, 2008, 02:39 (Agree/Disagree?) Blasphemy! It 10:36, not 37! You must be one of those backslidden TRF supporters! Lord help you! "And a mans foes shall be they of his own household..." Are you a 10:36er? Beware! Amen?(reply to this comment)

From exfamily Saturday, November 22, 2008, 06:20 (Agree/Disagree?) Amen!(reply to this comment)

From Randi Friday, November 14, 2008, 05:00 (Agree/Disagree?) I don't know what that reference states...But it goes way beyond natural... goes beyond insane even... when you start hiding from your family esp children because of religion. I guess one has to feel very "special" to put themselves in that position. Puking with disdane for 3½ min...aggresively.(reply to this comment)

From Zapata25 Monday, November 17, 2008, 18:44 (Agree/Disagree?) Hi Ana, how are you been a long, long time would like to meet. You can reach me through here or find me at www.myspace.com/vandari1 hope to get it touch soon. Pedro Oh and Randi, you have way to much time on your hand. Why don't you get a hobby or something or simply not comment on people that you don't know.F off(reply to this comment)

From Randi Thursday, November 20, 2008, 01:31 (Agree/Disagree?) Ohh Zapata... You're just jealous cause I can speak english... (reply to this comment)

From Samuel Saturday, November 22, 2008, 05:54 (Agree/Disagree?) * because(reply to this comment)

From Fish Saturday, November 22, 2008, 07:04 (Agree/Disagree?) *you are stupid.(reply to this comment)

From Zapata25 Saturday, November 22, 2008, 00:01 (Agree/Disagree?) P.S. if you are still puking I recommend you take some Peptobismal and if you are still "aggressivley" puking I recommend a change of lifestyle. (reply to this comment)

From Zapata25 Friday, November 21, 2008, 23:58 (Agree/Disagree?) Yeah i'm jealous of you because you speak English,its such a commodity these days. Perhaps you should learn a second language? Actually I'm not jealous of anyone who spends his time blogging web sights and living in the past (busy living my life -thanks). I just think perhaps you should find something better to do with your time then spew verbal diarrhea from your fingertips. Humans are individuals regardless of the "group" factors that they are connected by. You Sir are full of assumptions that are best kept to yourself. (reply to this comment)

From Randi Wednesday, November 26, 2008, 13:45 (Agree/Disagree?) So are you busy living your life in TF then... kind of sounds like it. And I do speak a second language. Is it your sister that is looking for her family then? I can understand that it would then be very personal to you and that you would be offended that anyone would comment...maybe thats why your lashing out or whatever.. however we are all dealing with lost families here, well at least I am, hense the commenting...This is not a private site... people can comment where they please... that is what a blog is... Now on a diff note...I really think its very sick in a sort of christian, cult, ignorant way to start telling people how to spend their time...and to assume that they need a hobby or whatever because they blog. Really stupid and totally impolite. Billions of people are blogging right now all over the world... communicating, sharing knowledge, venting via computor as apposed to slurring at a bar, making friends, dating and chatting with support groups be it rape victims, prisoners, jews, people who survived wars, cults etc... it is very common for people everywhere... and you have no right to diss that... well you may diss all you want, but you should know that youre making a fool of yourself.. As far as time goes... well I am a mother, a full time working uni student. I am very busy working hard towards mine and my childrens future and loving it... You well, you're a vagabond... whats that? Maybe you should find something better to do with your time...then going around trying to put others down.   If that is your sister, I wish you well and hope your can rebuild what was meant to be there. If I misunderstood... well you called me sir, so whatever.(reply to this comment)

From tinaz Friday, November 28, 2008, 22:02 (Agree/Disagree?) Randi, I assure you my brother is not in TF and has not been so for about a decade now. I think he finds it in his nature to travel, see the world, and live life as he sees fit. He's a successful individual who owns his own buisness and home. That being said, I can understand why he would be a little sensitive about this subject with our sister as we have not seen her in many years despite my parents (who BTW are also not in TF) desperate efforts to get in touch with her over the years. The one time my mother spoke to her on the phone about 5 years ago, we were hoping to stay in contact with her but she keeps dissapearing into thin air. I understand completely why people would come to the conclusions they have, but truth be told, those who have posted comments don't know the whole story. We love her dearly and miss her and as of date she has not responded to any of our requests to get in touch with her.  Anna if you are reading this please, please, e mail one of us. We love you and are dying to hear from you.(reply to this comment)

From Randi Friday, November 28, 2008, 23:29 (Agree/Disagree?) Well I sincerely apologize for my pre mature assumptions. I hope that you will be able to re build your family and bring your sister "home." I haven't lost a sister, but I lost my parents and in my case they were in the family and hiding from me from the age of 11, no way to reach them and no idea where they were living. Though my situation is different in nature, I sympathise with your losses and frustrations.   As I said, I understand your brother's disposition seeing as this is his sister. (reply to this comment)

From tathata Sunday, November 23, 2008, 06:38 (Agree/Disagree?) I don't know who you are and I don't assume anything about you. But I did notice something odd, it seems to me that you've got it in your head that me and Randy are the same person. We're not the same person. Anyways I wish you the best of luck. No need to jump to conclusions. And yes I do agree with you that we are individuals no matter our group affiliations or personal histories. (I personally refrain from posting on the Connection section if I don't know the people.) Randy is not a Sir. Just wanted to clear up a misunderstanding. If I'm the one misunderstanding and you were not mistaking me for Randy or Randy for me well then this comment is verbiage. If you have a personal problem with anyones comments please post directly to the comment in question. Thank you.  (reply to this comment)

From chaos* Saturday, November 22, 2008, 21:29 (Agree/Disagree?) "Actually I'm not jealous of anyone who spends his time blogging web sights and living in the past (busy living my life -thanks). " And yet here you are, doing exactly what you are dissing others for. sings: You'd better get right with god, and don't be a hypocrite, quit doing stupid things my friend, for we are all fucking tired of it!(reply to this comment)

From Zapata25 Sunday, November 23, 2008, 10:07 (Agree/Disagree?) Didn't think you were the same person, and only came on this sight to respond to an add from my sister. Thanks for the song though ill try to get right with god hehehehe. GBYAKYIJN!!!(reply to this comment)
