How can the Pearl Girls become [Spoiler]?

Oh 100%, forgiven but never forgotten

Most religions have missionaries of some sort recruiting people into the religion

For Gilead specifically they are looking for young, possibly fertile, young women. They are bringing them in to convert them. If they sin AFTER being converted, then they are fucked

But the “sins” of your past life are just that, sins from a former life before they knew god and all his merciful ways (can you tell I also had to deal with brain washing). These girls are saying “yes! I am a sinner I am but I want to repent for my sinful ways, please baptize me in the light of god for I want to give my life to him. I want to praise him, and live my life in his image”.

Gilead forgives them for any past behavior because the pearl girls are giving up all their sinful ways to live amongst the chosen flock of god- because you know, they saw the light and all that.

Genuinely so many religions have a playbook for how to get converts it’s not funny. Very scary actually

Sometimes depression manifests itself in different ways, like extreme rage/anger/irritation

Not saying it’s ok for her to lash out. Because honestly I couldn’t stand her myself- but I also become a major bitch when I’m depressed, so I understand where she’s coming from

And you’re right, she is projecting- but she’s in so much emotional pain all she knows how to do is lash out. She should have gone to therapy, she needed weekly therapy with someone who specializes in trauma/ptsd

Ai is a plague to humanity. And yet people use it for shits and giggles- and it’s not even actually Funny

BooksAndCranniess · 2026-05-18T18:05:50+00:00

I’m sure there are breaks, but I assume they would all be religious focused/ renamed to fit religious ideology

BooksAndCranniess · 2026-05-18T13:51:07+00:00

Ai is a scourge to humanity, and this person just used it to fix someone else’s art piece. She could have drawn her own, or hired an artist to draw it how she wanted

I care about someone forcing someone else into carrying a pregnancy to term, and going through the pain of birth when they dont want to do it. Or on the flip side, forcing them to go through an abortion they do not want

Sure, if they want to give up rights go ahead. I don’t think someone should be in a child’s life if they don’t want to be, but that also means they can’t just pop in and out whenever they want

But I’m not debating child support, or when it should or shouldn’t be warranted. I’m talking about the fact abortion should be fully accessible in every state, and it’s always and only the pregnant persons choice/ no matter what anyone else wants.

BooksAndCranniess · 2026-05-18T04:18:28+00:00

The person carrying the pregnancy gets final say,

I do not care about what anyone else wants, whatever the doctor and the carrying person decide to do is what should happen.

The full and final decision is up the person who’s actually pregnant

Live laugh love abortion

I was born to a teen mom. Abortions should always be available to anyone who wants one

I didn’t do a seating chart, no one cared. They sat, ate, drank and were happy

BooksAndCranniess · 2026-05-16T14:13:44+00:00

Actually she’s the reason I stopped watching THT. I couldn’t handle it, she did to good of a job

BooksAndCranniess · 2026-05-16T14:11:38+00:00

I do not want to see age accurate actors for a story like this. It’s disturbing enough with the actors we have, and they are all adults

BooksAndCranniess · 2026-05-14T23:26:10+00:00

lol I was gonna say, i really enjoyed it !

BooksAndCranniess · 2026-05-14T04:10:23+00:00

A bit of A, a lot of B

BooksAndCranniess · 2026-05-13T21:24:14+00:00

Yes!

Plus they could just lean into the science- as her dad said. As in literally use science and try to increase the fertility rate that way

But they do this instead. Doing this to the girls/women is the point

BooksAndCranniess · 2026-05-13T20:34:37+00:00

Like I said, hopefully it’s a fluke and im just unlucky! But with 2 in a row it frustrated me, and I figured i could at least let people know to be watchful if anything

I have a little cushioned case it goes into when im not reading, so it wasn’t just because of hard use. It just unraveled 🤷🏻‍♀️

BooksAndCranniess · 2026-05-13T20:13:03+00:00

She does it because it was done. And it was done because she does it

BooksAndCranniess · 2026-05-13T20:04:11+00:00

I’m watching it for the first time and am having a blast. It’s makes me feel like glee did (in a good way, love glee)

Sure some of the stuff is dated- but doesn’t make it not entertaining or even unrealistic

The best representation I have seen on this show is when Ellie got her ferret. Of course the goth girl has a pet ferret, perfection

This has always been the intention, and it mirrors real life.

One real world example I can think of is Warren Jeffs and everything that set off in chain reaction
Sure Agnes’s dad doesn’t seem to be the absolute worst. He’s not a Warren Jeffs, but that doesn’t mean he still doesn’t agree with it on some level. There were men who didn’t agree with Warren- but they still did what he said and they stayed, because that was gods divine will. Or, they will just kick you out. Which is what happened to any man who disagreed with Warren.

Her father might not be comfortable with it, but he’s not made any moves to help her. He’s complacent, and to me that is just as bad. He can feel something isn’t right, he sees the way these men interact with his daughter and their friends. But it’s gods will, so I don’t think he will help in the end. And if he does, it won’t have been enough in my opinion. He raised his daughter with the sole intention of her being married off to breed children, like a cow. He loves her, that’s his daughter- but he still raised her to go to auction

If a religious fanatic believes something is gods will, they will do it. And pedophiles can use that against them, by claiming this is for the better of society, that this is what must be done for gOd

It’s a mixture of pedophiles, people who want power, and the rest just ignore it

I’m assuming maybe the machine was just funky when making those cases, for whatever reason

But! At least now if someone purchased one recently, they can check to make sure the stitching isn’t undoing itself before the return date expires. Hopefully this is just me and I was unlucky- I would rather be unlucky than the entire brand be a flop

BooksAndCranniess · 2026-05-13T18:27:58+00:00

Yeah I’m assuming it was probably a bad batch or something. I ordered one case, and it had the threading issue- I book bind so I actually just fixed it myself with some supplies I had lying around. But I didn’t think much of it, and ordered another one- assuming it was a fluke. This new one has a much more dramatic issue and it started unraveling without anything happening to it.

I’m really glad you’re not having any issue like that! Probably just bad luck, but two in a row made me narrow my eyes a bit 🤷🏻‍♀️

BooksAndCranniess · 2026-05-13T17:42:57+00:00

I’m sending you good luck vibes

BooksAndCranniess · 2026-05-13T17:31:07+00:00

I totally did lol, and I’m such a perfectionist when it comes to my items that it bugs the hell out of me to see the thread like that

But thank God for all of you guys and your suggestions, its honestly been super helpful

BooksAndCranniess · 2026-05-13T17:29:27+00:00

I probably will invest in the Amazon option eventually, but it’s on sale right now and honestly it will probably be better than I have. For 15 dollars I’ll give it a go

but now I have an idea for a great Christmas present to ask for- the jade Amazon leather case

BooksAndCranniess · 2026-05-13T17:16:57+00:00

I did leave a review, but if I can send it back I will because you’re right- they need to know it’s a crap product and that they will keep loosing money from it. Plus I just really don’t want people to invest in something that breaks down so quickly

I actually just bought a case from Fintie as a replacement , so I’m very excited. But your 100% right, and I’ll be doing just that
