1. Utterly Fabulous! Thanks!
Edited on Sun Mar-20-11 12:00 PM by Zorra
So raise your glass if you are wrong,
In all the right ways,
All my underdogs,
We will never be never be anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks
Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass,
Just come on and come on and raise your glass
(lyrics by Pink)

WELCOME HOME

5. It was interesting.
Are you a member? Have you been a member long? My fear is that it could be cult like. So tell me why it is fun.

8. It was. It was very feel good and self affirming
I imagine all of us believe we are Wayseekers in our own right.

10. It's interesting that I'm already logged in with my Facebook avatar showing.
I joined an Anonymous support group about a week ago with a very similar format. It makes me wonder just who is sponsoring this group and what their real motivations are.

I haven't taken the poll yet. It seems I have already been preselected based upon what "someone" already knows about me, based upon my interests and personality type. I don't necessarily mind that, but I definitely want to know who it is and what their motivations are before I proceed further.

11. Rainbow Gatherings
Edited on Sun Mar-20-11 12:19 PM by Zorra
are similar. All are accepted and respected.

You don't need to join, because there is no membership. No leaders. No doctrine.

Spontaneous anarchy based on peace, love, kindness, respect, and sharing.

Kind of similar in philosophy to the Wayseekers, with no organization.

When the earth is ravaged and the animals are dying, a new tribe of people shall come unto the earth from many colors, classes, creeds, and who by their actions and deeds shall make the earth green again. They will be known as the warriors of the Rainbow -- Old Native American Prophecy

17. What a let down! [Warning! THEY WANT YOUR MONEY]
Edited on Sun Mar-20-11 12:32 PM by Zephie
I watched the video. I was excited. I actually cried and said "Oh my god, they get me. This is fantastic." It got to the part where it said "you found your tribe" and then lost it. I have used the word tribe to describe my ideal community many times and I was truly being taken in. I retweeted the video (It has been untweeted), and planned to show it to my husband tonight.

Then I scrolled down and saw a book attached to it that they wanted you to read. And pay for. This irked me a bit, but I read on and semi accepted their strawman justification for the book purchase. It also included a section for people who wanted the book who couldn't pay for it and how they could request a financial assist in getting a copy. This placated me enough to say "Alright, that's fair-ish I guess. The people running this show have to eat too..." So I clicked the join community button... And was met with a membership sign up page that offers 21 days free access.

21 days free access? Yes, I'm afraid that after the first 21 days they want $9.95 a month for you to continue to be a "Wayseer".

Beware - this video with all it's promise and hope is just another Scientology style scam. I imagine Anonymous will be angry with them soon for attempting to scam people out of their money with allusions to being of a similar belief system - and perhaps even an extension - of the Anonymous movement. They most certainly are not.
