Hi Cynthia,

Thanks for responding.  I especially enjoyed your posts and it is good to hear from you. And one of the things I enjoyed about posting is the response you get.  The bottom line is that if it wasn't for epo and the forum, I would still be going to programs and feeling guilty about not meditating (cause it just doesn't work).  I also found out that Hilltop and I were in the same Knowledge session (through the forum) and met some other wonderful folks through this forum.  And most of my experience with the forum has been a positive one and it most definitely serves a purpose for those who need to find out the truth (like my brother).  I also suggested he check out Mike Finch's website too and he did.  We haven't had a chance to talk about his findings yet, but it is good to know that the forum is alive and well.  And I'm glad to know that the catbox bs isn't allowed on this forum.  I actually met my "sweetie" (fiance now) through this very forum about 13 months ago.  I never thought I would meet my soul mate through this forum, but I'm incredibly thankful that it happened.  That is one reason for my happiness.  And both having gone through the experience of being in a cult for many years and exiting it successfully  has made our relationship even stronger.

Cynthia, hope you are doing well and best wishes again for a happy and joyous season and throughout the year!
