Is there a snowball’s chance in hell that Joyce is the mother of Mason’s kid?

@kevin, @mkarrett I have tumbled down the same well of confusion you guys might be in, Melissa and Kevin… but here’s a thought. What if this is no longer about the “why” which we all seem to not understand.
This is in-your-face style propaganda methods, but the message is muddy. What if the “why” (which I really do want…) is not the point?…[Read more]

Thank you for the detailed recounting of the meeting, @chelsea, it is appreciated.

What a disappointing ending, though. I am with @remrelganaps in wondering the most basic question… why? It seemed Joyce could have been useful to Mason. @kevin, you seem to think Mason got everything he needed… then discarded her. To me, the over-the-top…[Read more]

@blondie No offense was meant. I did not intend to insinuate you did not weigh the words carefully.
My reaction comes from a couple of specific questionable friend interactions I have recently faced.
(I may be in the need of re-evaluating many relationships these days.)

@blondie

Sometimes you have to put your trust in someone and believe that although they cannot tell you everything, they are acting in your best interests…

That’s a lovely sentiment, but sometimes friends pull a bull-in-a-china-shop maneuver and your interests or feelings or the consequences of their actions are not taken into consideration.…[Read more]

Uhmmm… HUH?
As @izryn and @mike point toward… what did I miss? The Midnight Commission lives and @111error is leaving Briarberg and that decision is (rather conveniently) timed and revealed as…
well…
HUH?
apparently… even people I thought I could trust I cannot trust.
I can’t even say this is highly suspect. It’s freaking ludicrous.

If I die, you can martyr me and have another sacrifice.

History has proven that trying to control the “message” of any martyr that is forced into creation or chosen by any community… that’s a tricky thing to pull off. Manipulating a group’s passionate response to anything is an iffy plan.

If tonight is the final act for Joyce, that may be a…[Read more]

Wow. Thanks to everyone for giving the recaps of their experiences.
Especially after @rizzzoooooo ‘s description of what was said near the end of the Lisa conversation, I am pondering and overthinking… as I do.
One of the things that has puzzled me overall since Chapter One of LUST is the desire to have this “Community” split apart… to turn…[Read more]

@mike So, what, their answer to your question wasn’t satisfying enough?
Wide net… my friend… wide net. Haha!

Numerous people believe this is all connected on levels we can only suspect… never truly see.
Why would that email address surprise you? Isn’t Mason “on message” with what TMC seems to be pushing in back alleys and hidden messages?…[Read more]

@mike, what if it isn’t a distraction? Everyone is going negative.
You guys going tonight… do you think this might be just a course-correction after one of their own- an overzealous baseball fan, perhaps – did something a bit publicly embarrassing?
I said I suspected they wanted one of you to become whistle-blower and provide a smoking gun.…[Read more]

So, the connection everyone has been trying to make between those who received the invitation… maybe it’s not amongst the people attending, but the connections you guys have to various parts of that “wide net.”

@lazysmartperson I am glad you pointed this out, Kevin.

… which means Jaime has access to recent Tension data.

Some of us were surprised that the Briarberg Foundation seemed to have access to so much Tension info… and those carefully chosen people that got an invitation for Thursday has each stated – it seemed to reference something that…[Read more]

The Briarberg Fondation… trust us, we just wanna chat…

Fascinating that this meeting is coming on the heels of one of their own going so… how shall we say… off-kilter.

No… I have not received an invitation but that does not surprise me since Mason obviously thought other tactics, such as sneaking into my home if he could, would be more…[Read more]

Wow…. striking and disturbing. @theladyj Just like Mason and Michelle.

Amen to the Get Well Soon @joycecarlberg sentiment.
I feel we will need her on our side… whatever side that ends up being……..

@addisonborn and @mamatato, I still have so much to learn… member swapping and break off solo careers still confuse me easily.
(Oh, wait… actually I just confuse easily in general!)
And, yes to Sixth Sense. And that bonkers video!

@meghanmayhem

1. I totally get the Katy Perry thing. Quality pop is quality pop.
I was raised on an odd mix of Top 40 pop, disco, 70’s rock and Motown soul.;-)

2. I have always seen @mike as a twisted relative of Pinhead.

3. The long-form story version of the “Abracadabra” video by Brown Eyed Girls is the sexiest music video ever made. That is all.

@bcbishop I have been away from my computer most of today, catching up a bit before going out tonight. I just wanted to let you know that, no, I have not been contacted.
Actually, I think this makes sense. Since Mason tried to indicate he was investigating my home and possibly looking for a way in when I was not there, he might be trying to keep…[Read more]

@kasch

I’m going to reluctantly consider him an ally until I see more red flags.

Andrew, this seems odd to me. You have been toyed with in numerous ways, correct?
If I were you… I’d be super suspicious from what we have seen so far from this guy.
You need more red flags? He’s practically constructing red neon warning signs. Please be c…[Read more]

@blondie I am curious if anyone who has spoken to him got a “familiar” vibe. I did not. It did not “feel” like anyone I have spoken to in the past.

@kasch

Do I trust him? Hell no.

The guy insinuated he (or someone) was going to break into my home. I am with you, Andrew.
(So happy to hear I am not the only one with trust issues these days! Ha!)
