I'm in contact with him still, though I'm still not 100% on his struggles over the past few years. Just didn't feel like my business to ask. One thing I know for sure... if *THAT* dude is weary, I'd just let him rest. Or ask what you can do for him.
Far as I can tell from Facebook, he's remarried and happy as a clam ... and still a firefighter. Haven't chatted with him in a few years now, though.
Wonder what triggered that, given the kookiness continues at the top and the amazing one clings on like some kind of zombie.
Never been a target of PP so I can't judge. But his way of moderating was quite unique, notable publicly which gave all sorts of funny conversations, that is if the subject wasn't you. I can confirm what Ted says, health problems and Jenifer was toasted.
I had Amos ask me to come back on staff at point where I didn’t visit for 6 months and didn’t see it. I replied to him that I was sorry I was away and didn’t see it. He never replied back.
I think what' always bothered me about that place is all the theorycrafting while the absence of fruit continues to be glaring ... from people who should know better, with all the knowledge they love to show off in very great detail. Very large head/heart disconnect. Like the truth is studied obsessively but never actually known and applied. I shall remain absent from there, because of this. I can't even read the Counseling section anymore because the real-life application of truth is so badly lacking, and the "advice" given is often horrific and disturbing. Reading it makes me want to clobber the stupid out of people ... but I can't, so I stay away ... sigh.
I have not been participating at BF much lately. I am not on a boycott-- I am not finding as much to discuss?
The most active thread appears to be End Times Chat. The one area where people probably assume more knowledge than they actually possess.
Yes, that forum has pretty much been the busiest forever. I just never get how so many pixels are spilt over so much speculation.
I peak frequently. I’ve seen nothing that draws me to post. Eschatology? Let’s post the most about that which we know the least about.
I remember one of the mods, after one round of removals but before the next round (in which she was removed) made some comment about how she thought the idea was that we were a team and had each other's backs, and wondering who had the backs of those who got unceremonially kicked out. I haven't logged in to BF since August of 2013. I thought I'd miss it. Every once in a while I drift through as a guest to see if much has changed, and aside from a few names changing color nothing seems to change there.
