I can't see anything wrong with this forum. It seems pretty good to me and not boring at all.

At least people can come here and post stuff and not be censored.

I wouldn't want to have a kind of a "French Revolution" against the JA anyway, whats the point of that? There's no point in just wildly lashing out in anger just for the sake of getting some kind of revenge.

A lot of us who were in the JA did get really hurt, but a lot of us went into the JA because we thought we saw something beautiful happening there. I did, I thought that the JA ideals on community living in big houses was a really lovely idea. I also thought that the JA ideas on simple living and cutting out a lot of corporate bull shit were lovely as well. I liked it that us women were not forced to wear high heels and loads of make up, to me, that was a freeing thing, not have to apply an artificial face every morning and wear tight pinching uncomfortable cloths in order to be socially acceptable. The things I didn't like about the JA was the bullying, the self righteousness and the "do this or you will go to hell" attitude.

I know I'm going to get clobbered for saying this, but if it wasn't for the horrible cruel bullying and the self righteous pride in the JA I would have never wanted to leave. I certainly wouldn't have missed the television at any rate - the news is so heavily censored anyway these days that there doesn't seem much point in watching it at all.
