Ever think it was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back? What was it with you? What was the last straw that cemented your decision to "leave"? Can you have one and these men not?

I will not discuss it anymore ... as per BOOM .... but by stating it's the proverbial straw to break the camel's back you just validated my parallel to the assassination of the Archduke in 1914.

Thank you.

So it appears.

Political posturing is an important element when you are headed to a show down.

Too many men desire to be God.

Nah, one of the big guys under divine revelation will show up at the last minute with a definition statement (just like at the merger), stating that no one will contend for their own views and that unity, brotherly love, and all that will remain so the organization can remain...then give it 40 or so more years until the statement is obliterated by some affirmation statement...

History has a way of repeating itself dontcha know...

Maybe "UN-TIED" would be more appropriate?

So, what was the straw for you? And are you the only one entitled to having one to be the final blow to your tolerance? Why not these "UC's" you've painted as having no reason to be dividing along lines of tolerance as they see it?

The ideology that is now trying to subvert ..... the entire system .... that's what did it for me ... but never did I try to use someone else's misfortunes to validate what I felt for a long time.

Just call it like it is ... and stop trying to justify it ....

I think the word "subvert" is a good description of what is happening currently. There is this idea that "Headquarters" is out to revolutionize the movement in a new and liberal way.

In my eyes I see what some call "liberalization" as nothing more than gradualism. A large segment of the org has begun to move with the culture. I mean this in a relevant way, not a sinful way.

This has been going on for sometime, and the internet is mostly to blame. It caught us all by surprise. There is no turning back though.
