AIBU to be upset about a facebook group

AIBU staying in a facebook group?

I have had a quick name change!

I'm a member of a large facebook group for natural parents who are also science aware. This group has been a fantastic resource and support network but its all gone wrong. The people running the page all have their own issues and are ganging up on other members for what seems like no reason.

I have thought long and hard about leaving the group because it seems like playground bullying but i just cant seem to do it.

They are great when you need your hand holding and will help you with any problem you could think of. They have a fantastic support network of Nutella addicts and people with difficulties like ADHD and depression I'm not sure there there is a better community.

BUT posting in it can be like stepping onto a nest of vipers. People having mental health problems can be kicked out for no good reason OR supported with people being sent round to check on them or taxis being called and paid for by the group when fleeing a husband. It just depends if you are in with the right crowd or not.

There are many LGBTQ members and there are a lot who are in relationships or who have experimented with eachother and this is causing tension on the group.

I cant seem to leave but i can't seem to stay and I don't even know these people in real life.

Pigs milk tastes like cornflakes and conned beef (apparently).

A synopsis of the thread:

Weird Scientology cult who like science but not children (in my opinion), these people seem to have a vastly overrated sense of their own importance. They are often vegan but they drink pigs milk and wear leather salty sandals.

With it so far?

Some (maybe four? I lost count) are on this thread arguing about worms and snakes. They gave me £10m though, I'm now a millionaire and never have to work again. I had to have a tattoo in order to get this money but my French workwear trousers cover it up so I'm fine with that.

Barbara is innocent but she has disappeared, possibly with Dave or Trigger (I think Trigger May be dead - don't quote me on that, I've lost track of who's dead and who's not).

There was some dancing around a Pole but not Mr Yakkov.

Then it went a bit off track with cervixes and valvulars.

That's pretty much it I think.

You can't just enter this thread without first bringing a glass of breast milk, sacrificing two carrots, and doing something with a rusty antique speculum that only Peter Stringfellow's grandmother could approve of.

Barbara knows what she did. Her shame is known to those who need to know.

You also need to be a scientist. Without science, your milk will taste just like milk.

So.... Just in from work. Glass of wine poured. Still have absolutely no fecking clue what this thread is about but I've literally never laughed so much at a MN thread. Please for the love of God can someone give me an idiot proof run down. Are the people who are commenting here that are or were in the SANP group arguing or agreeing? Is the OP Barbara? WHAT HAS BARBARA DONE!!! And why are people giving her money?

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 20:23

You too could be like them...

The glorious leader

CadyHeron · 14/06/2018 19:53

Alright, Dave?! Grin
This thread's bonkers. I luff it.

Jux · 14/06/2018 19:51

Someone called for a Terry Wogan on this thread?

Poor Puss doesn't seem like he's enjoying whatever's going in on in that pic.

The dirty devil.

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 18:59

I knew that antique speculum would result in a baggy puss.

OkMaybeNot · 14/06/2018 18:58

You're very welcome here, OP. I'll bet there's a forum section for cult survivors somewhere.

niugboo · 14/06/2018 18:58

@tattyfrench brilliant question better answer! I wish it was Terry Wogan.

It’s a trigger warning. Any topic that may trigger must come with a TW. Unless of course you crossed admin in which case you are the trigger and therefore can’t be triggered. Make sense?

OkMaybeNot · 14/06/2018 18:57

#####TRIGGER WARNING####

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 18:54

You could dance around my Pole but it might kill you.

I work for The Secret Cervix. Don't tell anyone.

I met Terry Wogan a few times, he was lovely.

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 18:52

Torn no, you've got the wrong Pole. Mr Kowalski lived at 434 Rivington Street, New York. Perhaps you're thinking of Professor Yaffle? Bagpuss has now been renamed Bag because people found 'puss' too offensive to snowflakes and people kept being triggered left right and centre.

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 18:50

Shall we do a floral dance in homage to Sir Terence?

We could dance around Tatty's pole

idlikemoresleep · 14/06/2018 18:46

@TattyFrench

what's a TW? Terry Wogan?

😂😂😂

I keep popping on this thread and genuinely have no clue what the feck it's about but that did make me laugh.

I used to love Terry Wogan

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 18:45

Isn't Mr Kowalski a generic Pole?

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 18:43

Niugboo what's a TW? Terry Wogan?

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 18:41

Torn "isn't a chiropractor a back handler?".

Not in my village, there's a chiropractor that wears black gloves - I call him the man with murderer's hands. I feel that's quite catchy.

I wouldn't touch a rusty speculum with a barge pole. Although I do have a barge pole for sale. Except I'm not sure if it's a barge pole or a generic pole. It would kill a small dog if it fell on them. Maybe the chiropractor would like it.

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 14/06/2018 18:30

After all of the trauma from the rusty speclum at least you can relax with a rejuvenating yoni steam www.etsy.com/uk/listing/527608352/relaxing-yoni-steam?ref=landingpage_similar_listing_bot-13

Just make sure to keep some warm socks on as per the description.

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 18:29

Yes, I can see where you're coming from on the shiny speculum.

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 14/06/2018 18:27

Grin I don't even want to know if thats a thing.

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 18:24

I think it's the antique catheter that's taking the piss
