Don't bother sending an alert to mods....they will be ignored. Unless of course you dare to tell someone they're wrong for criticizing a religion.
Hi WingNutt,

I totally understand where you're coming from.

Thanks for posting.

My dream is to move some place that has absolutely no winter. Winter is evil. It makes me cold and that's evil to me.
Hi Reverend1111,

Great hearing from you and thanks for sharing.

I can relate, as I love the sun, too. Move south... maybe SoCal. That would be cool.

If you are saying that the mods here are biased, you couldn't be more wrong...If the report is not frivolous it will not be ignored.

I will have a couple of friends there and you guys can show me around.

It's funny, Lucas said that after he gets out of college, him and his girlfriend want to move to LA. I didn't even say anything before he said that. Honest!!

I love my dog, i love animals, nature, the cosmos, good music, good art, much of California ('specially where i am), the Pacific ocean, ........... and lots of other stuff.
This is often a brutal forum SoCalAngel so if your sweetness is sincere, take care and run, don't walk, to the nearest forum (any one other than this one) for sanctuary if you start feeling agitated, confused, angry, saddened, etc., etc.. or if you just get fed up, sick and tired of stupid humans arguing about anything and everything that they can get their minds on just 'cause they love to fight.
Just 'cause this is the religion&philosophy forum doesn't mean that there's loads of sweetness and light here ... often just the opposite.

Love bombing is the deliberate show of affection or friendship by an individual or a group of people toward another individual. Critics have asserted that this action may be motivated in part by the desire to recruit, convert or otherwise influence. "Love bombing" is often cited by critics as one of the methods used by some cults and religions to recruit and retain members.

No, that is just good citizenship....I do the same for a couple of my elderly neighbours, plus shovel their walks when it snows...I've never painted their houses, but have done various plumbing, electrical, welding and carpentry repairs...
