I know that goup membership would like to imply that the concerns that I and other vocal ex-members have regarding problems in the 2x2 fellowship are exagerated ... and in reality just insignificant and isolated issues.  I have formerly been involved with the FB discussion group "Ex-2x2 Support Group" which is only open for ex-members.  Each of these 1700 members have an experience of some kind of abuse or concern serious enought that it has prompted them to exit the fellowship -- and exiting 2x2ism always comes at a social cost ... non of them take their exit lightly!! ...

It borders on dishonesty to suggest that they all a just "less godly complainers that are not willing for the truth"!! 

The  FB discussion group   "Ex-2x2 Support Group" is just over 1 year old and now has attracted 1694 members - 135 in the last week..  , (2023-04-18)   -- and this is only one of a growing number of ex-member groups.

Just wanted to say! --- I have personally decided to try to distance myself as much as honorably possible from the public ex-2x2 discussion environment – An environment that has occupied a certain (sometimes excessive) amount of my time these 22 years since our expulsion. I am 76 now so maybe "it is time"!!

There has been an explosion of new membership applications *  in  ex-2x2 communities  recently. With so many different and unconnected painful stories from the heart (several hundred and not only of sexual abuse but other forms of abuse behaviour ) that have emerged that there is no reason to doubt that enough information is now open on the table for honest folks to ‘weigh it in the balance’ and make honorable decision---when this should be a personal concern ---

Even in the 2x2 internal groupings of the "somewhat true and faithful" and the “moderately true and faithful” as well as the “fanatically true and faithful" there is enough ethically incriminating evidence blown well into the open at this time, for moral decency and integrity to do its work---if that should  turn out to be a personal concern for some.
