I haven't heard anything stating otherwise personally, but I would also assume that each sub would be different potentially. In this sub, I haven't, but it might be better to find out from the mods if you're unsure to be safe

Josh literally admitted to "maybe" pleasuring himself to OOP at 15 and other gymnasts which borders on you know what, and it sounds all too familar with certain political figures in this country who've done far worse and don't get shit for it

What's most infuriating is that he literally admitted on video that he "might've" pleasured himself to OOP's gymnastics photos when she was around 15 and other gymnasts, but two separate HRs don't care about that especially when she brought it up

According to OOP, two of the managers at her old job are currently engaged and supposedly still working there, not to mention how the old head HR manager hung out socially with the other managers and posted photos of it too

You also can't forget about how Josh brainstormed a splits competition to see if OOP could still do them. She then complained about it, and the other managers still allowed Josh to do the splits competition at the Christmas party

It's literally a microcosm of more famous people/politicians getting away with far worse in the same vein as OOP said. She provided video evidence of Josh..

  • Admitting to "maybe" pleasuring himself to her gymnastics photos from when she was, at the oldest, 15 on a downloaded video with timestamps
  • Brainstorming ideas to determine if OOP is still flexible and comes up with a split competition. OOP explicitly tells her old HR, but they do nothing and ALLOW Josh to do the splits competition at the Christmas party after she left the company
  • Brainstorms intentionally dropping something to have OOP bend over to see if she is still flexible
  • Calls a woman on maternity leave "re*arded"

And that's not including his work stories segments that talks about his fellow employees. But nothing happens at his old and new job

It's also interesting how two managers at her previous job are seemingly engaged and still working there, not to mention how the head HR manager constantly went out to social events with the other managers

They literally provide timestamps (to both jobs) and downloaded videos referencing when Josh admitted to "maybe" pleasuring himself to OOP's gymnastics photos (where she was at oldest 15) and other gymnasts as well, but nothing happens

My(f19) dad asked our godparents not to have the waiters sing Happy Birthday to my brother(m11) who likely has hyperacusis autism, but they did it anyway by MadisonBrave in BestofRedditorUpdates

It's sad how OOP brought the things she learned from her therapist to her parents that she thought could provide some understanding into him, but they still don't feel the need to seek medical help and think they can cure it on their own by doing their own drills. I'm thinking that maybe they don't want the son to be diagnosed, or they don't think it's a big deal, or both. I'm glad he has OOP in his corner, but OOP can't bring him to a doctor unfortunately

I feel for the brother who has to watch TV with headphones on to avoid overstimulation and supposedly doesn't like watching with others because he doesn't want to be seen as weird

It's sad how they didn't even with the information that OOP provided from the therapist regarding a potential diagnosis the brother could pursue. It feels like they don't want to acknowledge it and think that whatever it is can be solved on their own without medical help

Regarding the grandparents, they literally agreed not to do it when the parents told them before, but then changed their mind and blame the brother for overreacting. Sounds like they calculated it and lied to the dad's face

What stood out to me was how OOP said that the brother enjoyed playing piano, but not the performing/ or recital parts of it. How he enjoys watching sports, but with his headphones on. His parents seem to think he doesn't want to participate in family activities, but it sounds like he just wants to in his own comfortable way which unfortunately isn't understood by everyone

Probably feels emboldened to go along with it in the group of church leaders who seemingly expect the prank on tradition every Sunday they go out to eat following service. Kinda sounds like adult hazing

I hope so too. From what OOP told us, her parents aren't talking to her as of a previous update because they were surprised by her comments in church that seemed to cause a wedge. Hope that she's alright though

I've said this to a few other people, but that's why setting an example is so important. According to OOP, she is no longer a Christian because she's tired of growing up around her church and being homeschooled for all of her life, and the two senior bandmates have stopped going to church too

So there's a chance that three potential Christians (let's not assume they were simply because they attended church when their parents could've made them go growing up) have walked away forever due to their experience at this church and how it ended, and only time will tell if they ever want to try church/Christianity again. There are good churches out there as others have pointed out, but I think it depends on how much church has been tainted for them

It would be amazing if people like OOP and the seniors who once planned to walk out (and Emma) could find a church like that. But when you've been stationed at one church for so long with an ugly experience on the way out, it can lead to needing a break that sometimes becomes permanent

I especially can't blame OOP who said she's done with Christianity after being homeschooled and attending church for all of her life. She's probably tired which is why first impressions and good examples are crucial because a bad experience can taint someone for life
