  Kids continue to leave in droves - so what is the organization's grand plan? This

  by sir82 in

  jws have one of the worst, if not the worst, retention rates among their kids.

  i've seen numbers from 65% to 88% who leave, never to return.. you'd think this would be a priority amongst the leadership, right?

  where do tomorrow's leaders come from, if the vast majority of kids leave the organization?

  I could probably list 50 kids that left the twoof in my lifetime - and I'm not even up there in age yet. I gotta say though, the greatest satisfaction was pulling my kid(s) out of the cult. Only the old biddies, and Elmer Fudds are keeping that religion afloat.

  I love sports but I just don't understand why soccer is so popular. There is very little physicality, the ball bounces back and forth rarely ever going into either goal during the frustrating 90 minutes of futility. Offences constantly retreat and regroup back to their own net area. The ball goes out of bounds constantly. At the end of the game it turns out it isn't the end because the officials tack on an unknowable amount of bonus time to extend the game just because they feel like it. And you can't use your hands or arms? **** that.
  

  More goals, more red cards, less defenders and wider nets, please. Oh, and hot cheerleaders would be nice, too.

  Why does the creator, if it exists, have to be god? Maybe it doesn't want to be a god? Maybe it doesn't even know you exist or that it inadvertently created you. Maybe it doesn't even know that it exists, or maybe it doesn't even exist in any form at all?

  as the title says--i'm out of here for good.. the site is full of atheists, communists, 7th day adventists, creationists, believers, deceivers, receivers, football supporters,.

  dodgy types, cantleave---and assorted wankers.. so no place for me--because i'm none of the above so dont fit in.

  so--this is goodbye forever my friends--its been almost average knowing you.

  I have never seen even a sliver of proof presented by theists on this forum. Never. Just wishful thinking and special pleadings mixed with a persecution complex and oh, a whole lot of whining.

  instead i would rather spend my days picking fresh cherries from a tree, in fact i am having so much fun i have got the whole family involved, and the freezer is full of red berries, black currents, and today is more strawberry picking.

  i have also gone to a farm and made my own yummy honey.. anyway have you been berry picking?

  do you have any ideas how i can really enjoy my fresh goodies?

  Picking holes is no fun. Blowing holes in the organization is fun and fulfilling! It's one of my many hobbies. The great thing about hobbies are you can drop them at any time and also pick up where you left off at any time.
