I think I saw two different posts. There’s the one in the actual rules, and there’s a differently worded one as the first post in the thread “no politics rule has been added”. That’s all.

I agree. Fir now it should be avoided. Though this thread wasn’t meant to be political itself. I just wanted further understanding of the rule. The thread was made prior to the rule’s wording being updated.

I find this whole situation incredibly saddening. The free exchange of information and civil discourse is one of the foundations of western society. However, people have become too divided recently and have forgotten the basic principles of discussion. In addition, most have migrated to a this-or-th...

Nah. Thanks. I just need reassurance there was no bias. Alls good. Thanks Rose.

I don’t think you’re understanding the question. I understand and support avoiding politics. I want to know why the emphasis was on gaining more democratic members. Is there a belief that one cannot be Wiccan and conservative? That’s fine if so. I just need to know so I can decide if this group is w...

Yes. “although if we get enough liberal Democrats on the board, that will change” I mean, we’re all witches regardless. Even within our practice we disagree on some things. Why should this be any different? The way it reads sounds like they’ll only open discussions on that topic is if the Democrats ...

I have no issue with the rule itself. I want to know what following comment was about. It seemed to suggest that discussions would be allowed only if more liberal Democrats are present. Is this because there are more conservatives presently? Or because of a desire to outnumber them? Aren’t we all wi...

"As of 2020, politics has been added to the list of things we can't discuss, although if we get enough liberal Democrats on the board, that will change" Um, what about conservatives? There are conservative members and witches. Why the focus on liberal democrats? I'm not trying to incite anything but...

What the heck is a multi-quote?

Quoting multiple people in one reply. Saves on unnecessary posting.

It would have to be during the traditional night of the most importa...

Yo Dude!! Welcome back and Happy Birthday!
We been having some updates around here, come on in and get re-acquainted!
Blessings, Firebird

Thanks Firebird. It’s been a while. Btw, does this forum have multi quotes?

Sorry I’ve been missing. So much has happened. My year and a day was up on April 15th. I’ve learned a lot, especially how much I have yet to learn. Love you all.

I know what you mean firebirdflys. I would love to join a coven, but location makes it hard. I think the internet has done a lot to further the isolation people feel, and in some cases has normalized it. That’s sad.

I think that, in today’s world, with politics as divided as they are, and extremism rising on all sides, together with the dogma inherent in most religions, that people are becoming tired of being controlled. The ne thing they can change is religion and spirituality.
