Goodbye

I'd like to know two things. What's the name of his kitty (it looks adorable) and how could we restrict where and how someone learns even if we wanted to?

Not only do we not do that but start counting all the posts from folks who criticize us.

They are different people....

based on location...

who's doing that? and under whose authority?

doing what?

I trust those in leadership here, but from an outsider perspective, how would someone know that you're not secretly indoctronating their children with Terrorist / Facist / Soviet-Socialst type views?

No offense but we've seen through the catholic church what happens when adults in a position of power are given access to children in a private setting.

So, in such I think this is kind of a bad idea.

Well, not everyone is gonna like how we do things...

If this was the reason, so be it...

One Youth officer is Licensed by the government to teach children, the other one linked to his criminal record....


And, if TOS wants to be cryptic, so be it...

There are other members here who do need help and whatnot....

Yet another unhappy member of "the community" trying to cause trouble.

Why is she water-boaring that pig?

He don't know nothing!

hmm...i was gonna go with butt chugging. Pig knows how to party.

I'd like to apoloize to all the senior members in here if I contributed in any way to chasing members (At least ones you care about) away.

I am very curious, I think you guys have an outstanding idea here, and I'd like to learn more. My desire to learn and dislike of mixing words can lead me to sound a bit confrontational at times. It happens in classrooms also. (Although there they applaud it )

So do take what I say in the spirit of how it was meant, please.

Well I don't think we can really assume anything without greater detail

That said such a vague message saying they are going hardly helps the situation, because now we don't know how to address their concerns for future members...

Though aside from that we very consistently get new members here who become Initiates and Apprentices and Knights and members of the Clergy

Not to mention that we have had Gatherings and plans for more...

I guess we must be doing something right

So if you're reading this and decide to leave on account of not liking the site, please talk your concerns out with a senior member so we can try to help you as much as possible

All I ask is if you know anything about what prompted The Oncoming Storm's bizarre post at the beginning of this thread. We don't inhibit anyone from learning anything. I don't know how we could.

Even if you think it's something you said nobody's going to fuss about it. We just want to understand it.

ToS would not have made the comment about Darth Draconis that Menace did- he would have left that subject untouched. He's far more intelligent than Menace. So I can 99% put that Storm is not your culprit.

That said, I believe he and I talked about the kids forum being secret. I happen to agree with him. Let's say that I'm not part of the heirarchy, but I find Makai on this site and then learn that he is being taught things that I cannot see unless I'm part of the group. That would make me nervous about what you are teaching him.

Does the order require parents consent, and a program which tells them exactly what you will be teaching the students? Just curious.
