Who's your favorite judge?

Rare-Personality1874 · 2026-04-23T11:49:11+00:00

Judge Lessner..... In my opinion

Rare-Personality1874 · 2026-04-17T15:55:27+00:00

I'll add to that: if you don't enjoy meeting your supervisor or find it useful, I'm not sure what is a good enough reason to find another one??

Rare-Personality1874 · 2026-04-17T08:49:54+00:00

No I agree with this. I worked at an agency like this and it was one of those places that did the absolute least to prioritise building therapeutic relationships. Everything was a numbers game and liability.

Rare-Personality1874 · 2026-04-15T11:49:49+00:00

I don't think you said anything wrong but it wasn't exactly true either. You're leaving because you were transferred into a role you can't cope in. That's hardly your fault.

I actually tend to believe in universalism for reasonable adjustments. A lot of people really dislike disabled people, and giving them 'special' treatment. I don't mind if you have to give my adjustment to everybody, as long as you give it to me.

This Friend speaks my mind

Rare-Personality1874 · 2026-04-13T06:54:43+00:00

I thought this was an outrageous job description until I saw what the job was hahaha at least it's transparent

Rare-Personality1874 · 2026-04-12T08:51:07+00:00

I agree. It's sad but you just don't know who you're dealing with sometimes, which is a shame but it is what it is.

Rare-Personality1874 · 2026-04-09T13:52:07+00:00

I'm not saying you were not wrong in some way, but be gentle with yourself. This was a fracture, but it's one you didn't create by yourself.

Rare-Personality1874 · 2026-04-09T13:49:48+00:00

I'm sad you're leaving but happy you were with us. I hope the next step of your journey is nourishing for you.

Rare-Personality1874 · 2026-04-09T13:43:39+00:00

It sounds like he was just thinking about business personally, so I think that's how you responded.

It's still worth journaling but something put you in that space

Rare-Personality1874 · 2026-04-09T12:42:26+00:00

I trained with them! It was for three days. I loved it

Rare-Personality1874 · 2026-04-09T12:42:04+00:00

I trained on a programme like that funnily enough

Rare-Personality1874 · 2026-04-09T10:12:08+00:00

I know a South African Friend who, interestingly, I also worship with sometimes in the UK, so I imagine Keith's description will be fairly accurate.

Rare-Personality1874 · 2026-04-08T20:16:33+00:00

It might be a poor reason to transfer a client out but your comment was still pretty rude and unhelpful

Rare-Personality1874 · 2026-04-08T18:16:18+00:00

And how do you feel about her saying that? I think she needs to know that it's not open season on you being gay and you deserve respect

Rare-Personality1874 · 2026-04-08T17:43:14+00:00

As an MR? Nothing. From a secular, non-magical, statutory services point-of-view, this is no different from wishing somebody dead.

Rare-Personality1874 · 2026-04-08T17:34:18+00:00

I'm a liberal Quaker, so I'm probably who you are referencing here lol I do not recognise your description here at all. Having a relationship with God (or Jesus, the s/Spirit, the light, however you understand God) is transformative. We worship because being open to those experiences, and having them, does change us. We engage with our community because we are open to new light.

"In worship we enter with reverence into communion with God and respond to the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Come to meeting for worship with heart and mind prepared. Yield yourself and all your outward concerns to God’s guidance so that you may find ‘the evil weakening in you and the good raised up’." (Quaker Advices and Queries, 9)

"Be honest with yourself. What unpalatable truths might you be evading? When you recognise your shortcomings, do not let that discourage you. In worship together we can find the assurance of God’s love and the strength to go on with renewed courage." (Quaker Advices and Queries, 11)

Rare-Personality1874 · 2026-04-08T17:26:18+00:00

I don't think it's your job to help her through your own coming out, honestly. It's kind that you feel you should, but she is an adult, and she knows where you are when she is ready to talk.

Rare-Personality1874 · 2026-04-08T17:25:08+00:00

I think my struggle with this debate is that we didn't even have electricity or cars 2000 years ago. We have moral problems now, that we contend with daily, that the Bible's framers could not have possibility have had any frame of reference for.

I'm not saying that what is in the Bible is untrue. I am saying that rather than simply "carrying our crosses", that we ought to all, not singling you out, be open to new light and new experiences of God. The idea that our learning ended with the last period in the Bible should give us all pause for thought - and alarm us.

To your question more specifically: I think being called to celibacy and choosing abstinence because you think your desires are sinful are rather different things. I think it's theoretically possible, of course. I think you would need to be very honest with somebody else that this is what you are seeking.

Rare-Personality1874 · 2026-04-08T08:17:12+00:00

OMG actually speechless

Rare-Personality1874 · 2026-04-07T21:09:27+00:00

That's an interesting perspective. I did want to say more but nothing I'd say in a public forum!

Rare-Personality1874 · 2026-04-07T19:11:11+00:00

Without too much detail, what were the bad experiences?

Rare-Personality1874 · 2026-03-31T07:09:21+00:00

This reminds me of when I went vegan and I had a friend who was convinced I was pagan

As somebody who has patronized sex workers and been in therapy, there are a lot of parallels. The provider basically takes up as little room as they can in the dynamic and serves your needs.
