They are a narcissistic bunch of users.
They are salesman.
Once you have left the dealership with the vehicle you purchased the salesman is done with you.
He is on to the next prospect in the sales funnel.

WITNESS 007:
I remember that ‘love bombing’ phase and how I felt when it ended.
It was a disillusionment and an eye-opener. I was a little naive when I came into the Jehovah’s Witness religion. I was raised Roman Catholic.. I guess I wanted to believe the JWs were a brotherhood and one big happy family.. Well, I came to see they are neither..They are not your family and certainly do not have your ‘back’.
They are a collection of strangers. You may like some of them - and some may like you. But, the friendships are conditional. Like all people they care only about themselves and their families. Other people are an afterthought.
A single woman like myself was not thought of at all unless nervy individuals and Users were looking favors.. My answer was No. I wouldn’t do favors like other young single women since I was viewed badly over my full-time job. The only other time I was ‘thought of’ was if there was a criticism of some sort - mainly over my clothing because I have a decent shape.
Looking back I really overstayed my welcome in that place. I am just Thankful I kept my job and never followed the crowd there over the ‘pioneering’ thing. I would be so screwed today it wouldn’t be funny!.. The older hypocrites/critics aren’t even around today to help anybody duped into following the ‘no career’ ethic. These critics went to their graves after living a cushy life.
So, much for the bogus brotherhood. It was a life lesson learned.
