Bearing in mind that when we joined this community, the emphasis was on the democratic nature of the organisation and the fact that everyone here is an equal, the following comments (by influential members of the community) came as rather a surprise to us:
a) *look of disgusted incredulity* "You're Roman Catholic? You do know how important reincarnation is to us, don't you?"
b) *stern and menacing glare* "We just want to make sure that you - (that's me, my wife and our two small children by the way) - celebrate Christmas the way that we want you to."
c) *look of patronising pity* (on the subject of our four year old boy watching a CBeebies DVD), "You just need to gradually cut down on it, so that he doesn't watch anything anymore" (NB TV is banned here!).
d) *hands-on-hips disciplinarian stance* (on the occasion of being 'caught' listening to music on our house whilst washing up afte klunch): "We don't listen to recorded music here except as a special treat on special occasions."
By the way, I'm thirty years old and before I came here, I had held down a very responsible job for eight years, owned my own home for ten years and raised two wonderful children, but apparently I obviously needed to be put right about a few things didn't I.
Well, that was me told!
