I've Escaped My Abusive Cult-Worshiping Borderline-Narcissistic Parents' Household! CELEBRATE WITH ME!!!!

Furry Reddit - Thu 20 Aug 2015 - 15:14

FREEEEDDDDOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!!

Oooohhhh the taste of freedom is oh so good!

For those of you who haven't heard too much about the whole kerfluffle I've been suffering in silence, here it is:

I grew up in the Jehovah's Witness cult. This should give you a small fraction of an idea of who they are. JW's adhere to something called the B.I.T.E model of Mind Control. Yeah, Mind Control! Not scifi at all!

My whole life I had grown up feeling dead inside, with everything I ever cared for being taken away and banned. It was no life. I was dead inside for 18 years. But in November of last year, I started slipping those bonds. Research into the cult's sordid mind control tactics and hypocritical past are strictly condemned, forbidden and carry weighty penalties for those drinking the metaphorical KoolAid on the inside. Yet in order to "get serious about my spirituality" I had stumbled upon a terrifying truth about "THE TRUTH" (what cult members call the JW cult) and it woke me up.

Fast forward to the 18th, where after much realizing I've been subject to emotional abuse my entire life my borderline-narcissistic parents, I'VE MOVED OUT!!!

I'm sooooo happy!! Inside there I was dead inside. Out here I'm ALIVE!!!

I waited until today because my moving day was a rather emotional ordeal, and I had to cry myself to sleep the first night. But after scrubbing my fingers to the bone and cleaning up my new place in a beautiful BnB, I'm feeling much more in control and happy!

I'M SO HAPPY! A weight has been lifted from my shoulders, and for the first time in my life I am no longer a slave to a cult that made me feel like dying but unable to (suicide used to be forbidden with no afterlife hope) and a slave to people who would take heart and grind it up.

I'M SO HAPPY! WHO WANTS TO CELEBRATE WITH ME!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

A NSFW Question

Furry Reddit - Thu 20 Aug 2015 - 15:05

I've been wondering this for a while..

How can anthros have sheaths? Imagine how terrible it would be to urinate and such. I know anthros aren't real(or are they) to begin with, and yes I know, sheats are cooler, but I think they are very impractical and maybe impossible in terms of evolution (If anthros were to been real)

We are Kalmor (/u/Raptros) and Renashe (/u/GoingToTheOcean). We are the FA staff that got permanently suspended from FA during the recent drama. Ask us anything!

Hello /r/furry!

Both Renashe and I are here to answer any and every question you may have regarding the recent drama and #FATransparency tag on twitter.

For those a bit lost and do not know what the hell this is about, this is a quick run down:

  • Renashe and I attempted to change FA for the better from the inside over the period of a few months when Renashe was a site moderator.

  • We hit roadblock after roadblock of slow and stubborn upper management, not willing to act in the interests of the community.

  • Renashe got suspended from staff, FA management citing "being too critical of FA" on her public art account, despite such actions being explicitly allowed by Dragoneer.

  • On Sunday 16th August both Ren and I posted journals. I posted a resignation journal detailing my experiences and Ren did the same (allbeit diving further into the "experiences" part). We also compiled an imgur gallery of our journals and various conversations with management to back up our claims.

  • About an hour afterwards, our journals got removed. Renashe was permanently banned immediately, while I was only given a warning for my journal (about an irrelevant CoC clause... which made no sense).

  • I was then permanently banned on both FA and its forums after I made a few posts on the forum, one post linking to a tweet on my twitter account. The ban reason was "violating your privacy agreement", one I didn't actually sign or agree to.

  • Two nights ago, almost the entirety of the forum staff stepped down due to management requesting their IDs and rushing them to sign an NDA, resulting in anarchy on the forums for about an hour or so before FA admins stepped in. Here is the flayrah article about it.

  • FA Management at this time have still not addressed our concerns or any of the community's.

Trying to meet people

Furry Reddit - Thu 20 Aug 2015 - 14:46

Long story short I'm awful at making and keeping friends and have tried everything. So I'm trying here again. Name is Akuzane, male, I'm a Bone Shark. I'm not exactly positive, but I don't bombard people with negativity. I'm probably one of the realest people you'll meet and will not sugarcoat anything. My hobbies are swimming and surfing the web. That's all I can think of for me. I don't frequent Reddit, I'm usually on Facebook or FA.
