Ok. you guys. This is a tough subject. My little bro (who I love dearly) is a member of a religious order, and they have had another bad incident.

this is very hard for me. he joined the order many years ago, and I know for sure he is in it for the best possible reasons, and he himself is a kind and gentle soul. Then I read this shit and I don't know what to do.

    - oh, I completely believe so. He needs to be there. if there is such a thing as a true calling, he has it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 21:25

  - disturbingly so? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 21:21 3
    - actually no. he chilled out BIG TIME when he joined them. that's how fucking uptight he was. - loosilu Jul 10, 21:22 1
      - and I am not joking. he became much more normal after he joined a cloistered cult like order. -- nm - loosilu Jul 10, 21:23

I feel for people who earnestly and sincerely join organizations that go bad, but stuff like this is precisely why I don't grant any inherent stance - Reagen Jul 10, 21:14 1
- I have never liked them. their rules and secrecy are weird and culty. I could tell you stories. and I am NOT ALLOWED to criticize - loosilu Jul 10, 21:21
