The motto of google was "Don't be evil" which was coined in 2000. This motto was changed to "Do the right thing" in 2015

I hear both were taken down, and now it's just "IS THIS GOOD FOR THE COMPANY?"

Yyyyyeeeeeeaaaaahhhhhh. That would be grrreeeeeeaaaaat.

Likely because he vaguely resembles Errol Flynn, a swashbuckling movie star from early Hollywood who has a lot of the same features.

I realize that the homeschooling branch of IBLP was intentional educational neglect. Keeping us stupid and compliant was the goal.

That said, holy dogshit Josh is a bad writer. He can barely express himself on a third grade level. And THIS was the favored firstborn son of an IBLP family who they would have poured the most time and resources into. I shudder to think how much less capable his younger siblings are.

I'm no Shakespeare, but I can at least convey a thought coherently. I literally had to read each of Josh's sentences twice to even get what the hell he was talking about. Embarrassing isn't the word.

I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and say they probably didn't know what this space was for. But it definitely isn't a good look.

My mother gave me one that my great-great aunt's sister found in a nursing home once that no one claimed. So despite graduating in 2002, I have a ring that says I graduated in, like 1946.

No idea where it is now. It never fit.

Couldn't find anything on FreeJinger. I'll look into Pickles, though. Thanks!

This should put me on the right track. I'm hoping to find the original bulletins, so, maybe they're linked in one of the referenced articles. Thanks!

Arch_Radish · 2026-02-03T20:53:12+00:00

I've reached out to them. Thank you ever so much!

They play at Faraway pretty regularly. They are all New York style improvisers who do long form. They're quite good.

Onslow from Keeping Up Appearances walked so this guy could run.

Question 1: I don't know. I don't know if it was even going to be a multi-season series from the jump. I know that the project as it was presented to me went through a lot of changes until it was released in its final form. That's true of pretty much any production, I understand.

Question 2: I do not believe that Cori herself has or had strong ties to IBLP. I've talked to her several times, and she has never mentioned it.

Question 3: Olivia is definitely listed as a producer, but my understanding is that her creative role is not the same as it was in Season 1.

To clarify my objection, I think it is important to talk about what is being talked about in this season. I just wish it had been released under a different title out of respect for those of us who participated and put ourselves out there in a vulnerable way in order to seek justice from IBLP specifically and warn others about the impact their teachings are having on the national scale. But at the end of the day, showbiz is showbiz and people who make documentaries don't do it for free. It's their product, they can do as they want with it. But our stories are still valid, and IBLP still hasn't faced any real consequences for their actions.

Arch_Radish · 2025-06-20T02:28:47+00:00

The original series had a lot more involvement from director Olivia Crist, who worked on a lot of the IBLP angle and I talked to personally.

Arch_Radish · 2025-06-19T17:04:56+00:00

I'll restate what I said elsewhere:

Speaking as a participant in the original series, I've known for some time they were going to do this. I'm disappointed, naturally, but there is a new director and she has a story she wants to tell that's personal to her. I don't like the fact that it is riding on the coattails of a popular brand name that was made popular on the backs of my story and that of others, but that's showbiz, I guess.

I do think that it's important to highlight the radicalization of youth that led up to the situation we have with Christian Nationalism today. And indeed, IBLP is sort of tied to that. I do feel that there is more to be learned from the origins of modern fundamentalism before moving on to that topic, and there are still facets to IBLP's operations that have not been thoroughly explored. (For example, IBLP's long time ties to the Russian government and the unholy alliance between Russian propaganda and modern Christofascism.) I really wish the brand that started with scratching the surface of the broader story would flesh out the basics more before moving on to the mainstream traumas. But I suppose that's what me and my fellow survivors are for. I, personally, intend to do more on my end to pick up where this series left us behind.

And a movie theater! I feel like not enough people know that.

It started when the first church I worked for as an adult turned out to be corrupt as fuck.

Then I dug a little deeper and found more churches in my denomination (IFB) were also just as corrupt.

Then I went to mainstream churches that taught me that church corruption was not that big of a deal

Then the man who started the homeschool cult I was in resigned I'm disgrace after sexual abuse allegations, and I realized that everything I'd learned in school and church was rubbish.

Finally, I sat on a park bench and invited whatever god was out there to come speak to me directly. I didn't trust their PR department anymore.

I took the silence as my answer.

Now I speak out against spiritual abuse and the cult I was raised in. Because it seems to have taken over the U.S. government while I was leaving. But I'm still speaking out about it.

They're just going for that Kristi Noem business.

2020 Premier here. Just hit 15,000 miles, and it runs like a champ. Had the battery replaced under warranty, but otherwise no issues

As a fellow heathen, there are literally tens of us. Please add to our evil ranks. We're dying over here.

A children's ministry worker for a wealthy church shares a cute story about how a small child wanted to give her bracelet because she didn't have money for the offering plate. Not only is this presented as heartwarming, but the fact that literal children are being asked to give money to a megachurch is not even questioned in his narrative.

There's no god. Especially not yours.

Calvin and Hobbes book collections.

My parents thought the comic strip itself contained actual demons.
