Hello David!
I'm so glad that someone else is putting this out, not only me, calling to talk show, and I totally agree with what you've written here.
I'm one of those abendoned persons who isn't scared at all, but is completelly alone and yes, I've thought about exiting the system too.
First of all I didn't have any questions. Everything was chrystal clear but the more you want to do, the more questions you have and fortunately this forum now exists.
Well this sin't only about being alone, abandoned and on your own, it's also about having a sort of inferiority complex. I've asked also myself if I'm not worthy enough someone to wellcome me.
So I decided I should contact my sponsor as it is advised. I've put two questions to him, but never got the answers. And we're here by this forum again. Forum is good, but it isn't our sponsor, isn't it so?
Well, I have to admit I didn't call my sponsor by the phone, but I've contacted him by e-mail. I'm expressing myself much better this way, but that surelly shouldn't be a reason for not getting any reply.
And finally: how should I teach my downlines (I have only one for now) if I can't be tought. I'm very capabile to learn a lot of things on my own - that's how I've learned to speak German and most of English - but sometimes help from other person is needed and that person sponsor should be.
These are just my thoughts and if someone feels the same way, too, reply!
