your reason for changing your mind was that you suddenly felt that you were neglecting your role as a mother. Overnight, you changed from someone passionate about chaning the JA from the inside, keen to meet me and talk strategy, keen to get Ali to come for a drink etc, keen to set up the Dialogue (see my blog where you can see the very message where Sarah suggested it)etc etc

then the day after the Dialogue was started, there you were saying you thought that your children were being neglected and you couldn't be involved.

Even when you were mad keen on the Dialogue project you had said you had forgiven the people who had beaten you etc, but that was never the issue, which was that you knew that many people had been hurt but had not been apologisedd to as you had, and you knew that lots of the people who had approved of you being hit were in control of the fellowship and still approve of corporal punishment, which you admitted still went on

using the forgiveness as an excuse now is all a bit too retrospective and disingenuous
