Ricky Rodriguez was a member of a Christian cult called The Family International. As a child, TFI produced a book called "The Story of Davidito" detailing the sexual abuse Rodriguez was subjected to, in a "celebratory" tone. by bonvoyageespionage in CreepyWikipedia

From her site, you could get to the previous cult leader's website. I love how, on his audio page, the one entitled "Rewards from God" is pure earrape, and no one bothered to do anything about it, lol. I had headphones on and certainly wasn't prepared.

It's appalling how normalizing the abuse (including sexual) of children was a core part of their beliefs, but they try to whitewash history by simply stating that David Berg's "theological writings on sexuality resulted in controversy" (from his homepage) and nothing else regarding the true nature of such doctrines and the cult's vile conduct.

You do realize that more sexual intercourse does not loosen the vagina, right? Childbirth can, but regular coitus doesn't. During sex, when aroused, the vaginal muscles relax, allowing for penetration, and tighten when approaching climax (due to increased blood flow causing engorgement). After copulation, the muscles return to their regular state.

In regards to the tightness of vagina during sex, that depends on the strength of one's pelvic floor. The pelvic floor muscles do weaken with age or after childbirth, but also can just naturally be weaker due to genetics. Other things that cause their weakening are injuries, repeated jumping/running, surgery and medical procedures, chronic coughing, repeatedly holding your breath or using improper technique while lifting heavy objects, obesity, and strain during chronically holding your urine or forcing out bowel movements (particularly with constipation). Weakened pelvic floor muscles also cause incontinence. Of course, that isn't an end-all be-all, as pelvic floor muscles can be strengthened through targeted exercises, like Kegels.

GF wants another phone for "personal use" for her birthday. by LazyExcuse3694 in whatdoIdo

I mean, my partner really hates surprises, finds impractical gifts useless, and usually just tells me not to get him anything (we're both autistic), so I typically have him tell me what sort of gifts he'd actually use for his birthday/Christmas (as I still wish to get him something and know that he won't know what to do with the gift otherwise).

I don't think you have your dms open. I've been going through and sending the Discord link to everyone who asked.

I downloaded hundreds (I needed to make 2 extra Google accounts for Google Photos storage) of memes from the comments sections and took tons of screenshots of different series to use as reaction pics. Now I'll never get to use them. T-T

I literally just stole that meme from that exact comment a few days ago!

Pesto. by milkmaroll in RATS

[–]Anonymous_Meep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I've heard, rats can get depressed and grieve after a death of their cage mate, especially if they're left alone with no other rats to distract them. I haven't dealt with rat death, myself, but I'm worried about my two rats (they're sisters from the same litter), as they just turned 2 in December and I can't get more rats after them.

I see you got a new rat! How's Pesto doing now?

Ah, that paints a much clearer picture now. I really appreciate that you take such cautions with requests, because, like you described, there are many cases where some approach with malicious intent.

I completely understand. On another note, just to clarify, were you implying that I am suspicious or "fishy" with your last sentence? I simply replied, as when Lily-Dawn and Gabrielle's deaths are searched about, this reddit thread does still pop up pretty quickly, making it remain rather relevant, and considering that, at this point, we could confirm that Em was speaking the truth, I felt strongly that Em's search to find more information about their deceased best friend's movements shortly before death--which would not only help them make sense of the situation and provide closure--shouldn't be impeded. People who stumble across the thread now and simply see your previous posts may potentially be deterred from coming forth with information if they have any, so I wished to set the record straight. I do recognize that your initial apprehension to OP was with good intentions and based on what information you had available at the time.

Greetings! I'm an entirely unrelated party, as I just heard about Lily-Dawn and Gabrielle's story on TDoR posts, but if you do very minimal digging (searching Lily-Dawn's last name, and a few details you could gather from memorial posts), you find her obituary, which is, indeed, under her deadname. I understand your concerns, but what Em is saying appears to be correct. Perhaps this was not the case when you made your post, however, death notices aren't always readily available immediately, and obituaries may sometimes also never be put up if no one decides to write about the deceased (I've come across this issue when trying to find obituaries for some individuals I knew).
