Speaking of not judging people on how they look, do you realize the term “midget” is highly offensive?

A cult that coerces women to get abortions wouldn’t coerce women to make false rape claims?

“Even in that full three paragraphs they don’t actually deny the actual allegations, which are of rape.”

But the letter is full of church blaming, valid church blaming from people who know their awful tactics, their use of molestation and sexual assault claims against people over and over in the past who have left and publicly renounced them. I don’t see it as full of victim blaming at all, I read it more as a warning…

I don’t think the OP is reading any of the corroborating evidence people are giving him in this thread that CoS is willing to falsely accuse former members to discredit them. He’s dug in.

Are you honestly kidding?! They do worse stuff than this all the time. The most public of their evilness is prob ably what they did to Paulette Cooper.

They’ll stalk, harass and threaten former members. They’re tax exempt pretty much because the IRS didn’t want to deal with them. So yeah, this is something they’d absolutely do if they possibly could.

How does this work? I was kind of looking foward to your take on this because you wrote earlier on GT about how this impacts you as a Marylander. But, as of right now, you posted several minutes before Mortal Dictata and you have more stars than he does, but he’s the top comment. ?

late to the game tonight but yes to the accuracy of ‘manspread’.

Thanks for bringing this up the other day and I’m sorry I didn’t see it. I’m so glad people keep bringing it up because it’s important.

I’d like to give you more stars. Just know that in my heart, I give you all my stars.

That wouldn’t get you greyed. Dooooo iiiiiiit!

It really bums me out to think about the thought process that goes on for these dudes who post all over the place. Like, are they aware of how much room they’re taking up, how unrelated or unuseful their posts are, and how they’re clearly just doing it for validation? Or is even that level of introspection asking too…

There’s also QueenVictoria’sWhatever who will come in, not engage with the people actually criticizing the behaviour but call them all bitches in so many words. That one’s fun!

I think the influx of men who take up shit tonnes of space has also chased some commenters away.

Yeah, they seem to be treating this as some kind of validation station and some women are all too happy to let them. But what do I know, I’ve been languishing in grey for years!

Countdown to the dudes you’re referring to coming into this thread and being all “you’re not talking about me, are you?”. It’s like clockwork...

Hahaha I love your rawness!

Thank you for reminding of the very important issue. It’s baffling, to say the least:/

I have heard the “I can’t say anything because I’ll drown their voices.” excuse and I don’t buy it.
