I don't know if the couple in the first photo are flat-earthers or just t-shirt models, they're not the subject of this post, only the claim on their shirts is.
You frequently see things on forums like "once you go flat, you never go back" ...
.. so even one counterexample refutes that. One often sees responses to these counterexamples (for example, in a comment to this post), that these people were never really flat Earthers, but they never post any evidence other than their having left flat Earth, see the No true Scotsman fallacy.
To save having to look for the details each time someone claims this never happens, I'm putting them here.
The first two former flat Earthers (FFEs) appeared on the SciManDan Podcast but they also show up again in the FTFE playlist at the bottom of this article.
1. The first is Craig Bryan Pennock, Seek Truth Speak Truth (STST)
2. And this is Ranty (Flerfspective, this channel isn't available now, I don't know what's going on) who describes himself as a recovering flat Earther.
3. Here is a video about a FFE who goes by the name "Johnny Orbital"
Mark if you have a minute, I'm having serious issues regarding Flat Earth, I'm going to have to bow out of it. I know I've done this before and probably sound crazy, please don't be mad, let's just remove me from Strange World for good, not for a break.
My reason is that I have doubts about flat earth now. We thought in the past we had science and now it appears we don't. After 10 years there's no actual working model. Joe Hanvey's model is great, he's also a really nice guy, but it relies too much on speculation. There is a 24-hour sun in Antarctica. The AE map is toast. It only works some of the time, that's not good enough, I can't stand behind it anymore.
After looking into this for a while, I don't solidly believe the Earth's flat. I could be wrong of course, I don't want to cause a commotion and create drama, this isn't about me, so I'm not not doing anything but pulling out of being a spokesperson for Flat Earth. I'm not going to be a promoter of the globe or flat now.
The southern pole system shows the globe. The sun is moving in Antarctica like it would on a globe. In Antarctica the sunspots were in the globe-predicted positions, the sun even moved right to left. These are things formerly that I didn't believe were true. The Antarctica trip showed me otherwise, especially with the 24-hour sun.
I went over rocket launch video Jeren did February 10th that I sent to you and Chris Van Matre who is a land surveyor and often on Globe Busters Tech and was a good friend of Bob Knodel and Cammy. He is respected in the community and does long distance photography. He measures things for a living. We both can't justify what happened in the video. I'm not saying Chris went globe, I don't know his position on the issue. I haven't forgotten what I've learned about lasers, how we see too far, etc and how water is flat but I think there's some other explanation for that. As I said before I could be wrong.
So please remove me from your show lineup, I'm not coming back, I've been thinking about this for a while, searching my heart to find a solution to this. All I can find is I was wrong and it's my fault no one else's. That's a decision I have made for myself, and I won't push on I won't push it on any anyone else. I'm going to privatize my old Flat Earth videos on my channel and turn it into something else. I wish to act with integrity. I have changed my opinion based on new information that has been presented. If you want you can say I did a globe flip. I'm okay with that. You can read this on air if you wish, I think it would be a great idea. You can share this with David Weiss or anyone. I'm not a glober I'm still me but with new information. I'm a truth seeker, I don't want to simply believe anymore. I've not been paid threatened or compromised in any way.
Your friend, Patricia Steere
16. Paul on the Plane, who had been inactive for about four years, also recently left flat earth.

they never were flat earthers. scimandan is one of the biggest disinfo agents also
They certainly were flat earthers. I followed Ranty, JG Gonzalez and Rachie. They all bought the whole thing.
So, rockstardad, tells us you really are a flat earther...without telling us...
I knew of Ranty and Rachie.... Rachie is actively supporting the globe. I'm not sure if Ranty, who recanted, has been around.
Bought the whole thing, I've known earth is flat for over 20 years, the water ball was cool n all but all those totally impossible things about it drove me to find out, telescopes n lasers showed me the truth.
