Re: Remembering Broken Families
Thank you Faith for your empathy and the insights you have shared with us. I am one who has not seen my family in over 17 years. It is impossible to share in a few words on a forum, what it is like to live with this agony. I can also tell the readers here, that Christmas is an ordeal to survive, not...

Re: And so this is Christmas ...
It is impossible to adequately explain what I go through each Christmas, birthdays and other significant dates.

Re: Why Streetcar??
My second question:
How do I post an image or diagram. It is not on the internet so I can''t include a link.

Re: Why Streetcar??

The Science of Why Good People Do Bad Things
I am using this quote from the Daily Devotions June 9th, 2017 to expose the justification Victor Hall gives for shunning anyone who leaves BCF. By twisting scripture around, and using his particular power and manipulation of people, he has pressured good people to exhibit bad behaviour. Those of us ...
