I read your comment and I felt really sad. I have been in the same position with a pagan goup before and I ended up walking away. It was the hardest thing I had ever done, because I had been so passionately there for the long haul.
All I can say (as a new member) is that I think Temple seems to have gotten too self aware, that is, the members seemed to be more interested in discussing the group, what went wrong, how it went wrong, who was to blame and what to do about it. That's a hard spiral to get out of, I know.
But (and what I really wanted to say!) There are new members! Meth is back and things will start changing. I know you've been hurt, but I'm sure Temple needs every hand it can right now. I have joined and am really, really keen to throw some serious energy behind Temple to start to get things going again. There are other new members who feel the same. You will not be alone, you will be not shouted down. Myself and others are here for some good old fashioned pagan discussions and I hope you will not give up and leave.
I hope this rant hasn't been offensive, I've just been kind of typing as it comes to me. In short, if you still have the energy come along, there is change afoot!
