What is general protocol?

[Just_A_Guy]

For people who are are disabled or have other health issues, ofttimes online social networking becomes their life. I know of people who have been terribly hurt by words on the internet. I personally know of one beautiful woman who was in a lot of physical pain who eventually managed to kill herself. It was her online friends who prevented it for months and it was one online post the pushed her over the edge the final time. Relationships online become real especially when real world interactions are limited. I think sometimes we forget that.

A spiritual variant of the eggshell skull doctrine?

Wow. I am still dumb enough to be surprised at how judgmental and allknowing people can be. If there was a problem with sisterinfaith, I am quite sure her bishop would have taken appropriate steps.

Leah, taking meds was not the only problem she had although if you have that problem with meds it can be very serious. My husband does and it causes a lot of trouble for him. In any case that was for her bishop to counsel her on and not for the members of this site. She explained that she was not 'living in sin' and gave no indication that she was lying.

I am still very sad that she left here because of being completely unwelcome. No one likes being called a liar every move they make.

Whoa there.

You are calling me judgmental? Aren't you therefore making a judgment of me? It's not okay for others (who you wrongly perceive to be) to make a judgment, but it's okay for you to do the same?

Did I post to her that she was a liar? Nope. Was I skeptical of her situation? Yep. There were some things that didn't ring right to me, but that was simply my opinion. Which I guess you think I am not allowed to have.

I guess I am "less holy" than you because I don't always take people's word for what they post on an internet forum. Been around way too long to believe that everything that I read on the internet is true.

I didn't see ANYONE on this forum calling her a liar on "every move". Quite the opposite, in fact.

On the other hand, when I explained why I waited until after my baptism to take the sacrament, I was flat out called a liar. That was allowed to stand without any condemnation from anyone. So it is okay to openly call me a liar, but because some people on this forum had reservations about the validity of her situation, you think you get to judge and condemn them? Is it that hard to understand that it would be confusing to some that there are (supposedly) situations in which boyfriend and girlfriend are allowed to live together as long as they swear they aren't having sex? You can't see what mixed messages that might send or how it might be confusing to some? I mean, why not let every BF/GF live together if not being intimate is the only issue.

Yeah...let's judge those that don't agree with us. Great approach.

Duuuudettes! Can we all just take a chill pill?

Leah, I never called you a liar and it would greatly surprise me if you are one. I have had my doubts too but later decided they were not valid. Sure we are all entitled to our opinions but is it ok to a slam a person who isnt here to defend themselves any longer? Especially considering why they arent here? You have had your honesty doubted so perhaps you might sympathize.

Oh and yes I have been stung before trusting people. In fact one turned into an internet stalker. arg still expec to see that one coming around corners!
