Crazy isn't it. If I talk about local pedo's people will listen. If I talk about rich, famous pedos, they think I am being an absurd conspiracy theorist . Anyways I lost all of my friends and family. They think I am nuts now, but when they needed advice before, I was the person they looked for.
Well said. Opinionated, I have always been, whether right or wrong, however, the discerning difference is the rational, opinionated vocalist is amenable to LISTENING to dissenters who articulate their differences, as in... Hmmmm, maybe he/she made some good points, need to think about that... Those days are gone. I don't hear dissenting opinions anymore. All I have heard is vitriol or complete disinterest from 99% of those either"close" to me or just acquaintances. Gotta keep thinking maybe that the 1% begins to think...Hmmmm, I need to check this out...
The crazy thing is I can't go back to being one of them anyways, and they want to continue living a lie, because it hasn't affected them,
and they don't want to put in the time to research, outside of tv. This is the reason it went on so long, and would continue on.
I feel ya. I stopped talking about it to my family and friends. I finally decided that they would not become convinced and that the support network was more valuable than attempting to continue. It took a long time but the memory of me trying to convince them finally faded and its sort of like it never happened now. But like you said I will never be one of them again. Or for that matter like almost anybody else. The dark occult practicioners call the sleepers "The Dead" for a reason. Your family probably seems almost dead, robotic, and lifeless to you now, as well as most other sleepers. They call the sleepers "Dead" for a good reason.
Thank you @ESOTERICshade@carmencita@Gothamgirl@13Buddha for reminding me that I'm not alone for feeling the range of emotions that I experience daily since having woken up. It's a lonely place to be sometimes, but I can't go back.
It is lonely yes, but every once in a while I make one of them think. When I see an article about an accuser that I know will impact them, I call them and say Wow, have you heard this? I only do it when the evidence is overwhelming, that way they have no recourse. I just actually did it a few minutes ago. I have a post up now about a famous conductor who has been accused. My friend just called and said she had a wonderful time at the Opera, a treat from a friend. I said Oh, have you heard the story about James Levine, No she said and I read it. This opened the discussion of statute of limitations and other things. I know she is not as convinced as I am about all this, but I know I now have her thinking. Sometimes there is a Glimmer of Hope :))
I really discovered it by accident, the first time it worked. I thought, Wow, they are asking questions. Even if they were not the ones I wanted to hear, at least they were not pushing me off. So I have done this about 3 times now. No strict converts yet, but at least no cold shoulders!
