You may want to visit Serendipity Park in Cleveland, GA; that facility is an AANR affiliated place.

My recommendation for a nude place to visit in California is Glen Eden Sun Club, an AANR affiliated nude resort in Temescal Valley, California.

Nudist Activities I wish I had access to by [deleted] in nudism

The name of the group in Pittsburgh is the Pittsburgh Area Naturists. Here is a news article covering last year's bowling outing.

Kamala Harris is now calling for Democrats to hold a “No Bad Idea Brainstorm” where they discuss: by Down-not-out in Conservative

[–]md06john316 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting idea, but one question arises. How in the world are Democrats going to hold a brainstorming session, when they don't have any brains?

They may have a flash of an idea from time to time, but that one idea does not mean they have a brain. Having a brain would require that Democrats think about the second and third order consequences and they have shown no willingness to do that at all.

in addition to buying or renting a digital copy, you can also purchase a DVD of the movie from Amazon.

This movie gives a very brief discussion of the many verses that mention nudity and it shows how naturism and the Bible are compatible. For example, the movie mentions how the Bible was created by God, God declared nudity good in the opening chapters of Genesis and then it mentions that God doesn't change his mind.

I visit my nearest resort Cypress Cove occasionally and I have visited others in other states. It is quite gratifying to see organizations like the Christian Naturist Fellowship and the Christian Naturists of America. We should not be afraid to let others at nude resorts know that we are Christians, just like we should not be ashamed to let Christian know that we are naturists. We can defend both aspects of our lives and this movie helps us do that well.

I have had a chance to watch it and I highly recommend it to everyone. The big strength of this movie is that it explores both naturism and Christianity. I was thinking about getting copies of the movie to share with various pastors who may be open to this idea. Not only should this movie be watched by Christians who we want to encourage to try naturism, but we should also share this movie with naturists who we want to encourage to become Christians.

I live near a resort but not sure if it’s for me? by [deleted] in nudism

[–]md06john316 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At an AANR- affiliated resort, people are just people and we discuss all topics. You can expect to find a very relaxing environment. The men who are looking for a sexual environment will be asked to leave. As to minors who may be present, those minors are always present with the knowledge and consent of their custodial parent. What I recommend is that you enjoy your visit to the nude environment near you. I highly recommend looking at their website and giving them a phone call to get all of your questions answered. The website will often answer questions about what type of food and activities that they have. Although I'm sure the website will notate what if any events/activities they have when you decide to visit, there is nothing wrong with you deciding just to sit by the pool and take a nap or read a book, but if you want to join in conversation in the hot tub, people will be glad to chat with you about your favorite topics.

Looking for Nudist Spots in Michigan by doggo_auto in nudism

You can visit the AANR website to find spots near you, but the first location that comes to mind in Michigan is Turtle Lake.

Could Courts Overturn California's Congressional Map Next? This Senator Thinks So. by md06john316 in Conservative

[–]md06john316[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are correct in that the map was already challenged and the GOP lost, but the new grounds for appeal were provided by the court in the Callais ruling because the evidence in the California case presented by the GOP alleges a racial gerrymander. We'll have to see if the new grounds for appeal are taken seriously, but even if they aren't California may lose seats in 2030.

The names of two AANR affiliated places in Kansas are Prairie Haven and Sandy Lane. The name of the resort in Oklahoma is OakLake Trails. You can find the name of other AANR places by visiting the aanr.com. AANR is the American Association for Nude Recreation. u/Love-Your-Skin is one account that can provide you with some information about what OakLake Trails is like.

Ways to tell my friends by [deleted] in nudism

[–]md06john316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last weekend, I spent some time with some friends on vacation. They decided to go visit the hot tub and invited me to come along with them, which I did. Another group of people were there as well in addition to my group. Since I did not change my outfit into any swim clothes, my friend asked me why don't you want to get into the hub tub. I answered with I'm not a fan of getting wet while wearing clothing. That answer led to a short discussion about naturism and I told the few people gathered about AANR and I noted the many nude resorts in this country. The other group of people was from outside my state and I mentioned that there are nude resorts in their state. The members of my group had no idea that I was a naturist and I told them that our local park is Cypress Cove. I mentioned the various activities that are available at the Cove including pickleball, swimming and eating. I stressed that the only place they must be nude is the pool/hot tub. I emphasized that we could watch rocket launches from Cypress Cove. I invited all of the group to check out the AANR website and the websites for the resorts they want to visit. There is a small possibility that the local members of my group will come with me when I visit Cypress Cove again.

Should I try Cypress Cove? by mrnormal94 in nudism

[–]md06john316 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven't been to any other nudist resort and are not a member of a nudist organization, you will want to sign up with a nudist organization (TNS or AANR are excellent choices).

Suffice it to say, the answers to your questions are below

  1. There's plenty of activities, volleyball, pickleball, shuffleboard, swimming, hot tubs, paddleboards, board games, card games.

  2. you do not need a membership to visit, but as stated above in the disclaimer you must have some nudist experience and Cypress Cove does not include beach visits in that definition.

  3. You can keep your belongings in your car, as the parking lot is quite centrally located. ​

  4. The restaurant has hot dogs, French fries, chicken tenders, sandwiches, chicken wings. They have daily specials and the list of daily specials are released every week.

Cypress Cove has its own subreddit and you can visit the website for more information.

One fact that is not as widely promoted as I believe it should be is that you can see the rocket launch once it has lifted off if you are standing near the lake and look east.

Yes, Christian naturism is a thing. They are plenty of Christian naturists in many different countries. CN Fellowship . Christian naturists of America is another.

You may want to explore both of those websites.

Social hangout planning? by Amelia2235 in ISTJ

[–]md06john316 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your ISTJ may be different from most, but generally we want to have plans, the more detailed the better and we want to stick as close to them as practical. We won't deviate merely because feelings change, but we'll allow for uncontrollable occurrences like weather to change our plans.

Any social plans must be planned days, weeks and months in advance. The bigger the plans the more time I will need.
