In Response To: This is a brave, and troubling, post.... *NM* (Paul Kelso)

Paul,
The main reason this got my attention is that the message came from a guy that has been around a lot longer than me and has been a vocal supporter of the org.

I don't know if he's just become disillusioned or has an agenda or what. What I do know is that in any situation, for every person that expresses what they feel there are probably more that don't express it and just walk away.

I just wanted to put it out there and hopefully get some feedback from fellow lifters to see how they really feel.

I read the post by JPHadden and if it's the guy that I'm thinking of from Cali, then that is an issue that needs to be addressed. If lifters are leaving or thinking of leaving for reasons such as this, then the tide needs to turn.

The org, while viewed by the publicity of the top lifters, is only as strong as the rank and file that send their membership dues and entry fees in.
Perception is reality to the perceiver, even if the perception is, in fact, incorrect.
