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.

I think I can get my tongue all the way to the bottom of a Nutella jar.

If that's not a euphemism you can gtfo of this cult.

When you eat an egg you are supporting the murder of hundreds of millions of male chicks every year (200,000,000 – two-hundred million in the United States alone).

Boy chickens simply will not grow as big or as fast as female chickens. They also are not able to produce eggs. They are literally - and figuratively - rubbish.

Every time you buy a box of eggs, whether they are conventional, organic, free-range, cage-free, certified humanely raised, etc., you are in effect paying for the murder of hundreds of millions of BABIES.

The industry supports the murder of hundreds of millions of male chickens every year to keep their supply of female “producing” chickens fresh.

@TornFromTheInside but I love NAPS!

Spudlet · 13/06/2018 23:04

I DEMAND SCREENSHOTS

[ahem] The good mother makes bean soup for the errant boy, I mean. Obvs.

CaitlynsCat · 13/06/2018 23:04

Note this does NOT apply to chocolate eggs. Except the ones made with pus-filled milk, obviously.

TornFromTheInside · 13/06/2018 23:05

What the flippin' 'eck are salt-water sandals?

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 13/06/2018 23:05

Wait, you almost ran over a rabbit?! I just stepped on a slug. At least I thought it was a slug...
Thinking about it, it may have been a sentinent blob of nutella trying to recruit me to an online sex cult. That's way more plausible.

MedicinalGin · 13/06/2018 23:05

Christ.

I’ve never done Class A drugs, but I think it would feel like reading through this thread.

I bet that smug twat zuckerberg is dead proud of his ‘connected’ planet where organic Nutella addicts with a penchant for threesomes and science can get together and exchange bantz and rudeness. Progress! Grin

I don't care what the job is, if I ever see that on a CV, that person is getting an interview.

TornFromTheInside · 13/06/2018 23:07

Can't speak now...

ShapelyBingoWing · 13/06/2018 23:07

CaitlynsCat I can't say I'm quite sure what you're doing. Is it content from the cult scripture that you're posting?

FlirtyRomanticToast · 13/06/2018 23:07

I'd like to get a few salt lamps.

TornFromTheInside · 13/06/2018 23:07

I don't need drugs...

At my age, I can get the same effect just by standing up too quickly

(or reading this thread)

OkMaybeNot · 13/06/2018 23:07

Salt-Water sandals

You only get to wear them if you're part of the inner sanctum. I guess that's why you don't know.

You have to own a robe.

CaitlynsCat · 13/06/2018 23:08

ShapelyBingoWing: Hail Seitan.

Spudlet · 13/06/2018 23:08

Omg, I just tried to explain this to dh. He is... bemused. Yes. That's the word for it.

MadeleineMaxwell · 13/06/2018 23:08

@Spudlet Are you sure the ill-built tower doesn't tremble mightily at a butterfly's passage?

WatcherintheRye · 13/06/2018 23:09

I haven't left the group because I find it oddly fascinating.

I haven't left this thread for the same reason. Oddly, oddly fascinating! Grin

OkMaybeNot · 13/06/2018 23:10

Ok no but we are actually going to need screenshots.

pls.

Spudlet · 13/06/2018 23:10

@madeleinemaxwell Nope, bean soup it is. Sorry about that.

Strawberrybelly · 13/06/2018 23:11

Me too Watcher. I can't stop refreshing the page even though I really should be going to sleep now.

MadeleineMaxwell · 13/06/2018 23:11

@Spudlet What about the cagèd whale?

Atthebottomofthesea · 13/06/2018 23:11

Goodness that sleep system is the price of a 2nd hand car.

No wonder the makers sleep well at night.

TornFromTheInside · 13/06/2018 23:12

I'm not sure how I feel about the inner sanctum of a lady wearing sandals.
I've not got my damn tongue stuck in the Nutella jar. Is there a nurse, or plumber on the site?

Caitlyn, can you dance around a fire and summon up something?
