@Romanus Drevo I'm west of Chicago. I believe you're in my riot.im chat group

@archibaldturner I was annoyingly surprised that /rel/ in all probability shall cease to exist as an entity on fb.

Wzl#1230 Tbh most of those groups had gone downhill in the past year though

I'm a refugee, if you want to phrase it that way. But I think this and the forum is better than /rel/

I gues me too. I came to Rel only very recently. 3 weeks back maybe, but i really enjoyed that group

It was fun, but I was surprised at how many neo-Nazis there were.

Now i only came here a little after the 3d time rel fell, but that's thanks to @Wzl because i did not know this group existed even

It was good but after a while there was just too much shitposting without a purpose

Precisely.

I guess there was little point to racist comments against poles, anglos and everyone else haha

There certainly was.

There was always newfags coming in and bringing nothing but edge

@Deleted User #MeToo

I consider myself somewhat part of the old guard. I have witnessed the terminations of the earlier groups. In originality /rel/ was great. The Golden age of it was in my opinion between the 1st and 2nd group. Loads of interesting posts combined with meming. Landmarks like being mentioned by VICE and other leftists. In the last group a major influx of retard American NatSocs made it quite retarded. As racebaiting becomes a daily occurence again. It was before that finally curbed.

@Wzl I'm with you on that. Except I was a much more of a passive observe. Even during its peak, I wasn't much in the way of discussion. Then came lent and I tried to seriously abstain from social media and focus my attention to real life trad groups (spoilers: it's impossible to fine)

That sorta became my personal death of /rel/ because I have been out of the loop for quite some time

Glad to see I didn't miss much

Like all hideous empires REL had to go.
It was like a wounded beast just waiting to be finally slain and put to rest.
It was a den of papists that hated the orthodox christians to the heart apostates heretics and heathens that corrupted REL.
I joined REL not long after the first schism that occurred in the group it was in the 1st REL.
I was always a vocal orthodox christian that protected muh church and muh bros against vile papists that are jealous that we are right and they are wrong I WAS BANNED OVER 10 TIMES.
Over and over silenced and censored stopped whenever I came to spoke against ecuminism and shielding Muh orthodoxy.
What truly hurt me was that I was banned Muh brothers Daniil for example I did not that I got banned by those hideous american converties that say that they are Orthodox but they are proud of the bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima and encourage Pax America.
Another hideous thing in REL was the cults of personality that was attributed to some American lunatics and corrupters like Grant and Campbell.
With this I end me story and experience in REL and I say good riddence a final nail to the coffin that should had been done a long time ago.

What a crybaby

That's not the impression I got.

rel was and will always be great. Can't wait for its inevitable rebirth. In the legio christi forums and page until then

I'd disagree with you there. /rel/ had a lot of good points, true. And it had a lot of bad. I will admit that there were more good points than bad, but we can't ignore the bad simply because of that. As for whether or not it'll come back, well... I have no idea about that.

/rel/ doesn't have to be deep or meaningful. It was just a facebook group for jaded Christians who hate what the world has become and want to have a group to talk about things

I get the feeling /rel/ needs to be over though. If we’re going to do anything meaningful as a group we need to be able to move beyond shitposting and complaining about the modern world sucking. Within the format of a Facebook group that’s hard to do. The temptation to mess around is too great. If our movement is going to go forward we need to let /rel/ go.

Archibald's right. As Christians, we should always strive for that which is deep and meaningful, not that which is transitory. Yes, it is good to identify the problems we encounter. One we know the problem, we can, with the help of God, create a solution.

But not everything has to be super meaningful. It is complimentary

Distracting is the word I would use

One fuels the other

A good laugh is good to have now and then. A wholesome joke is a delight. And we've still got room for memes here. We've also got plenty of room for good solid discussion. The forum is nothing but meaningful discussion.

for you

Only to an extent. You can attract the right kinds of people with the activities that /rel/ engaged in but to mold those people into christian men and women who can make a meaningful change in the world you must remove the fun and games come a certain point and force commitment.

Otherwise the likelihood is most people will just retreat into memeing and get nothing done

Precisely. If that happens with too many people, we lose even more hope of bringing solid faith back to the world.

Only the Apostolic Catholic Orthodox Church it is the one true church the rest are lies

But how much are they lies? Is everything about the others a lie?

Mozalbete I bet you are s papist

What a great detective you are, rabbi

Oh now I am a jew branded now I must go to camp

Calling each other names will get us nowhere.

Enboy ur pool, jaw :DDDDDDDD

OY VEYYYYYY I GOT DISCOVERED YET AGAIN IT WAS JUST ME QUEST TO DIVIDE AND CONQUER REL AND DESTROY IT

Dolfy, I understand you want everyone to know the truth. But how far from the truth am I, a Catholic? How much do I have to rethink? Everything? Most of it? Just a little? How wrong am I?
