Can I be candid?

[HERn]

Hi KNB! Loved reading your posts. Your observations are spot on as far as my experience goes. Talk about snootiness, at my final conference I noted that well after the singing started the being blinded ones sashayed into the meeting with the elders and the wanting to be blinded brothers with their glum, grumpy, almost never smiling fake gravitas mugs to sit on the reserved front rows. Kind of like royalty. I'm so glad there isn't a clergy class of people in the LSM's recovery movement!

I worked for three years as an instructor at a historically back university in the south and on several occasions wished my white skin was darker. I would sit in the sun during lunch trying to get some color so I wouldn't look so white. It was a good experience for me to feel different and noticing my feeling of wanting to be like others.

Thanks for taking the time to drop in and and share your experiences.

All the best and happiness to you and your family.
