Life after Speakers Corner

[RonD1120 62]

Since the thread has drifted let me add, you can never know Jesus by having your head questions answered, only by obedience. 

Jesus did not die for those who can stand on their own. He came for the poor in spirit. For those for whom life has overwhelmed.

This old same ole, same ole arguing with no real goal is going to go on until the site gets bone yarded.

I just hope that there is some sort of accessible  archive for all the history of skydiving documented here.

Would you run across a busy street on belief only because a long lost book said nothing about streets and cars and do so in exclusion of what your reasoning faculties tell you? Of course not. Go for it but don't be surprised if others have a few pointed questions to ask in advance of our following.

My one and only time being in a car with my Thai aunt driving was spent in shear horror, while she kept reiterating that Buddha would save us.

 

Almost converted me to a believer.

My religious nut of a grandmother always used my under dash  Pioneer Supertuner for an ash tray.

That woman was nuts in many ways. She was angry with me for repeatedly pointing out she attended a FAG church. Made me chuckle inside every time.

Babbling fish lady on the floor with a screaming man up front wanting money was it for me.

With the knowledge we are losing SC I looked into low cost/free ways that the banter could continue. 

I’ve setup a subreddit  https://www.reddit.com/r/BeyondDropzone/s/EVhnSJsPC6

I don’t want to have to moderate a public forum so I set it up as invite only. Although all  speakers corner posters and lurkers are welcome.

You can request to join by emailing the moderators. Alternatively I’ve setup a reddit username dznigel99 and you can message me and happy to add you. 

With about a week to go, I’m bumping this up.

One of the things I’ve really enjoyed about SC is a space to air controversial views and discussions without ruining friendships. 

There are lots of online friendships that we’ve probably all shared along the way and SC can’t be replaced and in many ways it has run its course.

I’m surprised how quickly the PA’s escalated once Bill and Wendy took a more hands off approach, and I certainly won’t miss trolls and PA’s, but would like to continue having a space to disagree and discuss.

It's been an awesome experience here. It really expanded friendships in skydiving, around the world, and many in person meets thanks to DZ.com.

I've learned a lot, met some great friends, a moderator that changed my heart and my life, found my fellow assholes, and discovered the depths of ignorance and imaginary truths that I never expected.

Cheers Nigel, please give a shout out next time you head to the states! More bevvies are in order!

Peace, good vibes, and love to you folks here.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Blue Skies.
