  I don't belong here anymore

  by sizemik in

  these are some things i have been thinking about .

  .. when i first found this site i registered immediately ... never was a "lurker" ... and i've been here about six months.. everyone was very warm welcoming and i felt at home very quickly ... very pleasant at the time, but as time has progressed i look back and feel a bit "love-bombed" ... much like a religion i used to belong to.. i have found that this site is a bit "cliquey" ... groups of posters frequent at similar times and enjoy their familiarity with each other and that's great ... but they also sometimes exhibit a coolness toward those outside their clique ... almost as if your 'post count' is the first thing by which you are "judged" ... much like a religion i used to belong to.

  some posters develop a personal dislike for others and not only jump on their threads but even deliver the odd "slap" on unrelated threads to increase the discomfort for the object of their dislike ... not unlike a religion i once belonged to.. some posters even follow others around the board looking to counter or use snide or clever put downs at every opportunity ... a kind of intellectual "rivalry" that was common to those in that religion i used to belong to.. many posters like to use 'in-house' jargon and labels eg; "newbies" for those recently joined.

  I personally don't see cliques at all. I see groups of people drawn to certain subjects.

  I thought you were dang cool sizemik/Murray. But I don't post much.

  The futility of political debate on an ex-JW forum

  by willyloman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is a forum for fomer jehovah's witnesses.

  that is a cult that drills into its members the concept that the political process is evil, delusional, selfish, greedy, and satanic.

  it's fascinating to hear so many political naifs express themselves with such certainty and fervor.

  Now here is a subject that never fails to make me go "hmmmm". If there is a thread/subject that is uninteresting or too heated for a person, why not just simply ignore it? I find many thread subjects quite boring, so I avoid them. Means nothing to me that they are there. I wouldn't dream of starting a thread about how tiresome threads on "xyz" are.

  has anyone seen the youtube video of this song?

  it's being hailed by many people as the worst song ever.

  i tried to watch it, out of curiosity, but i had to shut it off less than a minute into it.
