Getting On : This Site Sucks

sorry

decadence

I've been on this site a year or two ago and I'm sorry to say but the conversations where much more interesting than they are now. I guess things have died down a bit because this site has become like some forum for "nothing special". where you just talk about all and nothing. it's sad but true. i know many of you will be mad at me for saying that, but that's what i think.

Yeah. Prolly cuz the old folks who had juicy things to say are all in uni or, you know, doing shit n'stuff. While all who are left on the site are young'ns or -as has to be said - people who have nothing else to do.

I have nothing else to do.

I also think this site used to have a lot more interesting conversation, and lot of the more vocal members don't post here much anymore.

I put this down to certain events that attracted a lot of media and public attention. Not to mention all the bible-dragging idiots that stumble in here now after reading this sites name in a recent book(no offence to the authors, but I would have left the name out of it).

But you say you've been here for a couple years, yet you've only posted two articles(you don't have to post a new article for every paragraph btw), and a handful of comments. Do you not see the irony of complaining about the lack of interesting content by participants?

In your first post you talk about 'us' being all talk and no action, and you have a few ideas of what we could do and how "entertaining" it would be. Yet I get the feeling you haven't tried any of them yourself, am I right?

You rejoined the Family and have "driven out" 7 people by pestering them with your lameness, until even the evil system seems inviting by comparison! It's brilliant!

You are secretly bringing down the Family from inside, like a Trojan horse of boredom.

(By "4 on they're way out" do you mean they are currently banging their heads against the walls of your Family home, begging God to stop Therli from talking?)(reply to this comment

If you've helped support people on their way out good for you. I've done so myself and while I try not to validate myself in terms of that type of activity anymore, if I've helped someone not mis-use more of their life through staying in the cult, that's very positive.

I would encourage you not to try to address or engage people on this site once a pack mentality has developed and come out in full force, as it seems to have on this post. If you persist with dissent some assclown will invent a new term or condition you've violated, and ban you. Or if you disagree with someone, have a heated exchange etc, you'll be accuseed of harrassment and God knows what else.

It's not worth you time. A man of science once told me that on this site, and I mistakenly thought I should be able to speak my piece, but he was right. He never visits or comments anymore.

While I understand the sentiment behind suggesting, "try to avoid heated rhetoric once a pack mentality has begun to form", this seems a bit over-stated. I have periodically elicited a near-unanimous rejection of my own thoughts and comments here, and when I have re-read the post and analyzed my words, I typically find that it was not the point I had made, but my appearance of condescention, judgement, a "you people" statement, or a "my way is the only way" attitude on my own part. I truly do not believe that most of the participants on this site are unwilling to tolerate alternative views, (except for those views that appear to minimize/justify TF's culpability, disrespect a member's legitimate pain, or actively attack and deride the entire group here). It really isn't any of my business, therli, but I do not actually believe it is the reactions of a capricious Moving On admin. you need to worry about, or even the lack of majority support for your opinions, but if your views are important to you and you believe they might be worth consideration, it could be helpful to present those views in ways that more clearly demonstrate respect for the listener and your own willingness to engage in a healthy critical self-examination of your own rightness. Again, its not my business and I aplogize if I have over-stepped myself in commenting, but if you value this forum as much as I do and would like to enhance the experience, I thought these few words might be of interest to you.

What's so wrong with the "my way is the only way" attitude? If it's how one feels at the time. Must every point one is trying to make be sugar coated? Frankly, I find it kind of annoying the way some people on this site are overly tactful. For example: "Again, its not my business and I apologize if I have over-stepped myself in commenting". Why do you feel the need to apologize? I get that you are being diplomatic and it's definitely a good quality but ( and I'm not just referring to your comment) Sometimes it's nice to just hear what someone thinks without all the B.S.

Good point Jezz, but as noted below, I am a guest here and so I try to express my appreciation and respect. As a fellow cult survivor, I know how it feels when an outsider presumes they have a right to sling out any old thought or opinion. But you are also right about the sheer joy of just saying what you mean, and I do have a site (much smaller) where my own tiny ex-cultie group talks, and where I periodically go crazy, get a bit judgemental, and periodically tell my friends to fuck off. Sometimes, as you say, its good to just say the thing. MikeM.(reply to this comment

GoldenMic is very careful about posting his opinions here because while he too was raised in a cult, he is not an ex member of TF. I always appreciate his efforts at respectful dialogue. Mic, I think I speak for the majority (and I'm sure they'll correct me if I'm wrong) when i say that you have long ago worked through any barriers that might have existed due to differing backgrounds.

P.S. There's nothing wrong with 'my way is the right way' per se, but in my opinion it is indicative of a lack of rational capability when one becomes so enamoured with one's own opinions that one ceases to understand that they are in all likelihood highly subjective and not necessarily the only 'right' ones.

It depends on what issue is being discussed, I think. Of course there are some things I feel so strongly about that I find it difficult to accept that others can't or won't agree with me. But most of the time I think it's fair to say that I see my opinion as right *for me* and not necessarily for everyone else. I don't care that people think differently to me (unless it impacts directly on myself, my children or my life) but they sure as hell better not try to dictate to me or I'll definitely react fiercely. If my ego ends up so closely tied up with my opinions that I become overly emotional and less rational (and I know this happens fairly regularly), I generally admit that fact once I've had time to mull things over.

Good to see you around again, GoldenMic, and as usual you offer sound advice.

Therli, I called you an idiot earlier and I apologise for that. It was unnecessarily abrasive. I assure you that when you begin to write more specifically about things that you care about or feel (instead of lecturing and dictating, as if your opinion is somehow paramount), and if your writings move me emotionally or challenge my intellect or cause me to re-examine my own perspectives, I will gladly offer you the measure of my respect that you will have earnt.

Thanks, Vixen. I am actually on this site several times a day, though I have not posted much lately. I was wondering about that statement "you people who have too much time on your hands if you are here all the time". In all honesty, I don't have a lot of time on my hands, living with an overly-full professional and personal schedule, and yet I still come aboard 3-4 times a day. This site is an important part of my day, and I am constantly fascinated, encouraged, and inspired by the lives and words of so many fellow survivors. Also, I am WAY biased in favor of the Moving On adm. a perspective I admit is based soley on my unmitigated affection for the site's creator!(reply to this comment

I don't think a single person can be "wholly" responsible. So I see what neez is saying. But to your point you can certainly act as one of the critical catalysts for the change.

It's obvious you're feeling attacked, I know the feeling. Don't allow yourself to react to your emotions in this forum, believe me, it doesn't work. There's no audience, and very few of these people have any concern whatsoever for you as a person. Sadly I think it's an extension of how we were raised, and a large percentage of people have internalized those behavioral patterns or are at least acting out to them at a sub-concious level. Don't look for acceptance or support in this general forum, it doesn't exist in my experience. This used to be a much cooler forum back in the days. I don't know what to say.

Actually, giving a statement based on proof you believe yourself to be in possession of is hardly "logic", but more often a likely hypothesis, or occasionally, assumption which as we all know, makes an ass of U and mption. Also, what's this "proof" you are aware of, or that you have? Do you have access to IP addresses and electronic timestamps attached to individual posts and comments on this site? If so, I'd have to assume you were an editor or administrator on this site and as such your open condemnation of the participants would be a large usurpation of your limited powers on this site.

If however, you do not have the correct access codes conveyed to you via the proper sources (this site's administrator), either you are a hacker with way too much time on their hands and way too concerned about how the participants of this cyber space use this forum, or you're talking out of your ass, and way too concerned about how the participants of this cyber space use this forum.(reply to this comment

If one believes it be "proof" he handles, one does not divulge a hypothesis or assumption when connecting this “proof” to another element using deduction. Furthermore finding the knowledge of the “proof” does not demand being a hacker. All it requires is your presence on this site.

1.Persecution Complex:

One of the top fifteen factors that can transform a reasonable, amiable, friendly person with reasonable, friendly beliefs and ideas into a ranting, screaming, judgemental zealot with poisonous, nauseating, self-righteous dreck for beliefs.

Persecution complex can strike anyone, regardless of belief, creed or religion, or whether they disagree with you or not. Once you start believing that the whole world is against you, you begin to justify your abominable actions by the presumed hostility of the world. Mind you, it's a great way to not only make enemies, but also an excellent way of making people reject your beliefs and idealogy.

Firstly that person was not referring to you but to someone who *does* have a persecution complex and simply can't fathom that he brought people's dislike upon himself through a campaign of harrassment that many of us witnessed and were uncomfortable with being subjected to over an extended period when it had nothing to do with us, not to mention the suffering it caused to those who were directly involved. He misused this forum and would likely have continued doing so ad nauseum had he not been given some time away to get himself together. He can complain about censorship all he wants but that decision was taken at the request of more than just a few people and at some point he is going to have to just suck it up and accept that people didn't want to read his crap over and over and over again.

Secondly, I hardly think that you have been persecuted here. You said what you wanted to say and people didn't like how you said it and told you that you were being an idiot. So what? If you want to give your opinions you have to accept that sometimes people aren't going to agree with you.

The test of any system is how it reacts to dissenting or unpopular views. Again you speak for "many of us," I speak for myself.

"But that decision was taken at the request of more than just a few people."

If 10 racists decide to lynch a black man, or 10 Natzis decide to abuse a jew, numbers say nothing to the validity of the decision.

I feel harassed by your comment. The person you called an idiot may feel you're harassing them. Are you running a "campaing of harassment," because of my feeling or that opinion. Perhaps, perhaps not.

At the end of the day what it comes down to is that people are allowed to do what they want with the things they control, and apparently dissent about said decisions are taken very personally.

I like probing the boundaries of any human system, its where one learns about onself and others.

I also think there's a difference between accepting that people aren't going to agree with ones position and being willing to be called an, "idiot","insane", told to "fuck off" etc. ... which some people feel entitled to state about others, but claim harrassment and sufferenting when such statements are directed at themselves or members of their pose.

I'm not sure you were referring specifically to me in the above commennt, but I'll answer it as if you were since my regular presence here most likely means that some things do apply to me.

Harrassment is different than once in a while becoming hot under the collar and being harsher than one should have been. Yes I've been horribly mean to a few people on this forum, but I hope I've sincerely apologised to each of them if not in public then certainly one on one, and I hope that they understood that my bile was not actually due to any real problem with them but was much more about me and my own issues at that time.

I think I have been willing to admit that I got out of hand and have tried to make amends. And I don't think I've ever posted comment after comment after comment of thoroughly unpleasant discourse for days on end and carried that assault into real life where it might have had all sorts of negative repercussions on others. I hope that my presence on this forum has had more positives to it than negatives.

For the record, I disagreed with the way many people jumped on and attacked the individual involved in the given situation when he was posting about things that obviously meant a great deal to him (before the whole storm started). I didn't say it publically in the different threads because I wanted to stay out of it completely, but I do remember stating on several occasions to any number of people (my 'posse' included, if by that you meant those who I would consider close friends) that I did not agree with the way that person was mocked and derided during what was obviously a difficult time for him.

Finally, I don't think I've ever claimed harrassment when people have had a go at me. I've had my feelings hurt and been offended, sure, and fought my corner fiercely as is my right, but I've never tried to have someone shut up or banned for something that they've said to me or about me.

If you weren't talking at least in part about me, I'm sure you'll disregard this comment.

What the devil are you talking about? This is starting to get annoying. Who was this "harasser" and when did his "reign of terror" take place? I'm deeply saddened that I missed it, whatever "it" was. Doubtless my snide contributions were sorely missed.

Luckily most people on this sight hold a certain amount of respect to it: we left the cult because we were abused, neglected as children, taken advantage of mostly due to our naivety. ( I should add that some people have no clue as to what they are talking about and/or Only have their won agenda.) About the abuse on this sight: it’s a pretty gray area, but, personally I hold a fair amount of resentment. When personal information given to individuals (whom I thought could be trusted) via email or the chartroom is divulged on another sight it kind of pisses me off. Especially, when it is done so subtlety-- such information as personal tragic events that have happen while in or since I left the cult, personal information--fears, relationships that didn’t work out etc) that were divulged in such a manner that made it hard for me or anyone to prove such abuse-- knowing I would be scared, yet unable to prove anything.

It’s a perfect example of went on in the cult and, why these mother fuckers get away with what they do. I am no saint and sometimes when I have taken all I can bare I sometimes tend to want revenge and usually end up giving myself away. I am not saying I am not guilty; simply I don’t like being taken advantage or when people I love are taken advantage of. I’ve posted/given a lot of personal information including information about my family to certain individual in this sight who took advance of it somewhere else. Sure, one could say “I asked for it” yet isn’t that the typical response of the abuser? In a way I did ask for it only by being so naive....yet, at the same time it seems perfectly natural for me to want a certain amount of revenge for the individual who betrayed my trust.

Again, it’s rather a gray area and I am not saying I am planning on playing the victim here. I was mistreated and mistreated others yet, there are certain things that still irk me especially when I am not sure who is fucking with me (partially, when I’m paranoid that it might be someone in the cult, as in the recent past while still in denial, I was far too honest with my parents, etc) because of my tendency to disclose far too much information about myself and others. This all has left me fairly disillusioned about the world in general. And I am sorry for any unnecessary pain/drama I have caused people I care about due to my own agenda.

I’d rather be the first to straight out say something someone has been insinuating all along then be fucked with in the head over and over. I’m Not saying I am not capable or have been guilty of being subtle myself, in fact all this has taught me how to do so, sometimes it can be rather fun especially when done in jest, yet often, people/myself don’t see the ripple effect it can cause others especially when it is viewed with blinders and/or doesn’t consider the countless number of (decent) present and past individuals who are also or have been involved and inversely involved in my/their lives. I am readily willing to let the whole “high school drama” thing go as I see it is all pretty ridiculous and I shouldn’t let such travail words bother me but, it has. Thus, I was compelled to say so. Also, because it is something I find fairy fun and because of my addictive personality, I find I can get so involved as to ignore other important, pressing matters in my everyday life not to mention it was/is eating away at my health. All that to say, I don’t appreciate being fucked with (I had enough of that in the cult) and if someone wants to fuck with me I am often more then willing to give them a taste of their own medicine—sometimes stuff that was written in the cult or events in my life make a perfect analogy and I tend to act it out or try to portray it in that way—often failing. Again, it kills me when the perfect example/parallel is something I hold dear. Just thought I’d put in my 2 cents though I’m not sure this makes much sense being that I just had fair at the moment of wine. The Bottom line is I’d still like to be honest and straight forward with people but, I see that that isn’t how the world operates. (reply to this comment

Just to clarify, I do not have any firsthand information on the above situation and I would not like to make any judgements at all on what actually happened between the people involved - only they can know that. I also do not want to start any discussion on the topic since this is not the place for it but I just want to say that I sympathise with everyone involved and acknowledge that each will have their own perspective. I definitely did not mean to suggest that any actual assault had taken place. that was a clumsy way to put it.

Therli, you know it's weird. I'm starting to pick up alot of contradictions, I don't know if it's just in your comments, or maybe a reflection of the confusion inside yourself.

#1 You speak about how people are not moving on, yet you're reminiscing about past conversations and ariticles and how things were so much more interesting in the past. You're also the only one I seem to see quoting like "as dad would say" - talk about living in the past/not being over the cult.

#2 You seem to have no problem dishing out the criticism, but can't seem to handle having it dished back at you. You dismiss others articles as boring, and then call us boring for commenting on yours. You say that some of us think others are totally insane for not agreeing with us while using a far more condescending tone to dismiss our opinions. Please tell me I'm wrong, but I feel as if I also being dismissed purely on the basis of having an opinion contrary to yours?

#3 You accuse me (I was gonna say 'us' instead of 'me' so I wouldn't look totally self-centered but decided to scratch that. Since I've been fairly active on the site recently, I'm gonna take it that the accusation was addressed to me.) of spending way too much time on this site to have a productive life. Is something wrong with my eyes or have you been in alot more conversations than I have in the last few days?

#4 I have offered to you a few genuine questions, none of which you try to reply to except for a blind accusation of close-mindedness which you didn't even bother to explain. I have said things which were false, and have retracted or apologized for them later, but where in that statement was the "proof of my closemindedness"? CAn I assume that you lashing out at me is simply a cover for your own lack of sound logic? Perhaps you just not really thought it through before it spilled over onto the keyboard? Or you really do have great answers which you just want to keep from me because I'm too ignorant to know the truth.

#5 Your "better than you" attitude which I think is pretty apparent in most of your comments is really starting to bug me. I have asked you to debate the point of your life being more productive than mine, and you also declined to comment. If you're going to say it, please back it up! Lay down a list of why your life is better than mine and your logic is superior to mine. Give me one example of why you are more open-minded than I am.....if you can. If not, please keep your ramblings to ramblings about yourself and not me/others.

If I’m correct, this refers to us not getting over the family or our past life. You showed enough maturity to concede everyone is in a different phase of moving on. So why do you insist on attacking those who are not in the same stage as yourself?

I respect your difference in opinions, but you could surely stand to work on your presentation so as to get to the point of what you are saying and not demean others unintentionally in the process.

-As I said in previous comments, I don’t think anyone (I know or heard of) have fully moved on. In my article, I phrased my thoughts wrong. What I pictured was some loser specimen living on this site, bitter like a lime, spending his or her days bad mouthing others, bored of the main subject, changing it slowly to fit their intelligence span, having nothing to give. I have spoken to fast, please forgive me although I still maintain the idea this site was more interesting then before. But what can you do.

-I called the person I was responding to a time waster, not because she was answering my comment but because I had just admitted the idea that she commented on both boring and interesting articles. I consider that if I person is so desperate as to push in their word on an amazingly boring article this is time wasting (and this is just my opinion).

The existence of a "majority" does not logically dictate that the "majority" are closed-minded.

Being closed-minded to the "majority" opinion does not make you open-minded.

The "majority" and "minority" opinions of this community have -thankfully- never truly been quantified.

This is simply another opinion of one who is wasting his time commenting on an "amazingly boring article". Having been away from this site for months, I don't belong to any clique or party, and am largely unaffected by any "majority" opinion that may or may not exist.(reply to this comment

this is some of the recent polls
• Who will win the NBA championship?

• Are you glad John Howard lost the Australian federal election?

• Mitt Romney is a Mormon. Should he win the Republican nomination, would this prevent you from voting for him in 2008?

Who SHOULD be the next US President? –

• Coke Vs. Pepsi

is this really interesting?

From the homepage:

'Welcome to Moving On -- The website created by and for young adults with parents who joined the religious organization The Family / Children of God. Pull up a chair and stay awhile -- Browse, read, rant, write, whatever.'

From the FAQs:

'2. What is the purpose of this Web site?

The purpose of this web site is twofold:

a. To provide a forum for open and frank discussion on the unique experience of being raised in The Family, on life after the group and how we have adjusted (or not).

b. To connect with real people. The purpose of this web site is also to provide a place to connect with old friends, to make new friends and to find support among those few people who understand the unusual background of someone who was raised in the Family. As such, this web site is ultimately a means to an end and not an end in itself.

The opinions and beliefs of many of the participants vary greatly on almost every topic, which results in frequent and lively debate. This is something that keeps this site interesting. There is no “official” belief that someone must adhere to participate on this web site. All that is asked is the understanding that if we have lived through it, then we know what we are talking about.'

You have an unfair bias against these poll questions.

The NBA might not matter to you, but it matters to others who enjoy basketball.

I don't know much about Australia, but I did read in the newspaper that the ruling party in Australia (John Howard's) lost power to the Labor party last year. I have a feeling the question had more to do with the Labor party's win than it had to do with Howard himself. And considering that Australia is a fairly large country, a democracy, and is surrounded by poorer countries, what happens in Australia can make an impact on the rest of the world.

I wrote the next poll. I was curious to see how many people consider the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints a cult, and was curious how many people would take that into consideration.

Who will be the next US President is different from who should be. I would like to see Chuck Norris in the White House. But honestly, he doesn't a chance, especially since he's not running. Jeb Bush is another person that comes to my mind as a promising President. But I don't think he'd win if he ran, as many people are looking for a change from the Bush family. Mitt Romney would have been great, I think, even though I disagree with him on same sex marriage. Marriage is not a federal issue, some of the politicians need to re-read the Tenth Amendment! Powers not expressly given to the federal government are reserved for the STATES!

Coke vs. Pepsi? What's so wrong with that? It's just a poll! Personally, I prefer Pepsi. But here is a good example of something we were not allowed in The Family. How much trouble would we have gotten into, therli, in most homes, for having a debate about whether Coca-Cola or Pepsi was better? Would that have been a single demerit, or a double? Perhaps, if the shepherd was in a really pissy mood there might have even been a demerit in place for simply considering drinking a Coke or a Pepsi. I remember "Aunties" rambling about how bad it was that we had gotten into a habit of bringing store bought lemonade to park fellowships. How insane is that? A couple glasses of (gasp!) over sweetened lemonade is not going to hurt you, you know. Especially if the Press Releases are true and Family homes eat nutritious, well balanced meals most of the time. The poll is a symbol of the freedom that we have now, out of The Family. Coke? Pepsi? How about Coke with rum? Lemonade, or Mike's Hard Lemonade? Iced Tea, or Long Island Iced Tea? No one is going to tell you what to drink, so if it sounds good to you, then enjoy!

My advice to you is to live a little, and don't take everything so seriously. Sit back, open a Coke, and enjoy the site. Just be careful not to spill any on your keyboard.(reply to this comment

Be the change you want to see. I don't think you can, which is why you spend all your time on petty criticisms rather than actually saying something worthy.

Well that's probably where you're going wrong, then. Who the fuck are you to try to 'make' anyone do or say anything? Seriously, where do you get off trying to be some sort of self-appointed judge of what is good and proper?? The only person you can control is you, so I'd suggest you work on yourself before you try to tell anyone else what to do. People will write what they feel like writing and when, and nothing you do or say will have the slightest impact on the dynamics of this site unless you can use your brain to come up with something of note rather than expecting everyone else to do the work for you.
