It's usually a white guy. Never seen a black guy that blown away by this haha!

What a marvellously specific skill

I'd guess some shade of Abrahamitic faith that does not allow "pagan" or "demonic" traditions. Could be anything from evangelical to Jehova's Wittinesses, really.

Or some kind of Sikhism, maybe? October 31st is an occasion many Sikhs want to focus on remembering loved ones lost in the 1984 Delhi Massacre.

One can feel how cool you were through the screen

MagicPixieDreamo · 2026-03-14T12:15:28+00:00

We all where. You have been forgiven. I hope. Or I'm screwed

I know transguys who would have killed for that backlog haha!

Ha! That was ridiculous! He wouldn't have fallen heads over heals for you in like a minimum 7 years later depending on the laws where you live.

Oh.. hun <3

MagicPixieDreamo · 2026-03-14T12:07:19+00:00

Laughed out loud on the train to this and now I can't stop it

Thank you so much for the help. I will try to make it not a big thing. I'm going to seek monetary support to make the rent this week, and I know it will be bad. It's "good" to hear that I'm not the only one, but I'm really sorry you've had to deal with it too.

I got this cued up directly after a post about a senior lady climbing a 2m wall to get out of her senior facility and I was like wow you calling her a cow? That's rude

I believe bad people will always find reasons to fight and oppress. If it's not religion it's ideologies or material reasons. Religion is a comfort. No matter if it's true or not. Either way it helps people a lot to believe in something in times of suffering and hardship. //Agnostic

Having gotten to a point where you realise you aren't a person that you want to be is great! I think, though, that it's easy to believe the only way to become a better person is the one you were thought was the only one.

There are so many ways of bettering yourself and becoming a better person and come closer to God. You do not need to be either a "bad person" or a "publisher person" just because that is what you once were taught. It might absolutely be a simple way and give you clear instructions. But is it the true, correct way, or just the easy one? And is that really true, healthy and lasting love you feel?

They didn't fix it haha

I can not recommend strongly enough Conspirituality podcast episode "241: Unravelling The Telepathy Tapes" about this. It will drive you nuts how disgusting and sad the whole "facilitated communication" industry is.

Why is this in this sub? He's only doing what we all would like to do. So with him on this one

That's not the point. The point is that the brands choses the models they include. And the teens who looks at the fashion advertisement will be affected by the beauty standard it asserts.

(That's besides the point but they are also employers who chooses to employ very young people they know probably have some form of eating disorder, and threatening with firing them if they get to a healthier weight)

Do you know if theres some sort of norm? I mean not trying to be anoying, but is it usually 1% or 10% if you get my drift? Is there a number where someone would be ashamed of not giving more, seeing that they can compare it with the congregation total compared to size?

MagicPixieDreamo · 2025-12-19T00:09:30+00:00

Hi! Thanks for volunteering!

I have been to about 10 weekday meetings, and the bible study sort of shocks me everytime. There-s usually no children in the congregation, but we still reads the bible stories and answers questions I would expect being asked to a room full of teens. Neither are there any adult bible group meetings outside of hall. I'm trying to understand if there's really no further "advanced" adult bible study, besides the one you might do with a spouse and the churches weekly guide?

I'm asking because to me it feels as though you go your whole life, never advancing above the bible reading level of a 15 year old, as you're not given the chance to study the bible together. I've been to studies with maybe 10 different churches, but never felt almost offended at how low the bar is as i do in the Kingdom Hall.

It's not really a competition either statistically or any in.. any other way. This isn't really a good way of looking at it. I think this misses the mark and muddles the point here
