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.

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

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

OkMaybeNot · 14/06/2018 19:00

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

The dirty devil.

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 20:40

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.

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 20:48

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.

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 20:50

Forgot to say if you post a picture you have to alert people to TW (Terry Wogan).

IDontBowlOnShabbos · 14/06/2018 20:58

I met Trigger at a charity do once. He was suprisingly down to earth and VERY funny.

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 20:59

Ignore Tatty, she's on glue - I'm not the first to have noticed.

Seems we're stuck with her though.

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 21:01

Thanks Torn

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 21:04

uh huh

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 21:07

Or Copydex ....

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 21:10

They've been rounded up by the cult truant police.
We are the last two who've evaded capture by sticking together.

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 21:16

I might camouflage myself as a horse, I bet they don't agree with horses. Do you think they're all having the biggest and 'most important' meeting in the world about the naughty people who broke cover? I bet Tom Cruise is there. In his leather coat and sandals.

TornFromTheInside · 14/06/2018 21:23

I think they'll have called for an extraordinary meeting to discuss how their secrets have been revealed. If the rest of the world discovers that milk is full of puss they will run out of things to misinform others about!

TattyFrench · 14/06/2018 21:32

Shall we tell the rest of the world that milk is made of puss?

THIS IS A PIBLIC INFORMATION ANNOUNCEMENT!*

*MILK IS MADE OF PUSS!!!!!!!

DO NOT DRINK MILK!!!!

MILK IS MADE OF PUSS!!!!

DO NOT DRINK MILK!
