Dear Inky:

You are a sensible woman, says I. By the way, I just came across a comment by you in 2014 to a woman who found her soulmate who is not her husband: “…“Soul mate”…is bandied about (mostly by women) so casually just because she has a crush, as if she is the only one who matters, and as if his partner and her husband just don’t matter much in the Cosmic scheme of things. Meanwhile, there is a true, real, husband languishing at home, starved of you psychic/emotional attention. HE is in your Auric Field…”

There should be a book: “The Best of Inky”- hope this makes you feel good, that is my purpose.

Mooks3r: thank you for your sharing. I read your pain in your experience of the JW’s CONDITIONAL love. How good it feels, the feeling of being part of, accepted, loved… ahh… it is wonderful and how quickly and drastically it evaporates when you do not submit to the doctrines. This is not unique to JWs only, though- so many parents are like that: the It is My Way or the Highway Doctrine. So, unfortunaately to so many, love is in very short supply indeed.
