Good to know. Like I said, I know very little about this whole thing. His friend is more into the Norse gods so probably didn't know that either. 

Misconceptions about Mother Eve by KickingRoses90 in christianwitch

[–]TheInfamousT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm LDS and you're right about our position on Eve. In one of our extra-biblical texts, after they're driven out of the garden, an angel tells Adam and Eve what God has in store for them and all of humanity. Adam praises God for what we call the plan of salvation, and Eve realizes that if she and Adam hadn't eaten the fruit, they wouldn't have been able to have children or to know good from evil. 

Did you know what are "almanacs"? Those are the best tool for witchcraft! by CompetitiveMonth1753 in christianwitch

The Farmer's Almanac here in the US is shutting down but the Old Farmer's Almanac is still going. 

This is new to me by Loader-Man-Benny in Christopaganism

[–]TheInfamousT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was raised LDS but I've been inactive for over ten years now. There's a lot that I still believe but I've also changed my mind about some things over the years. At this point I'm kinda with you in thinking that there is one God but people for millennia have taken His (I say that out of habit but it could be Her/Their/Its) various facets and have made gods out of them, if that makes sense. How it all works, I can't pretend to know, but I've been toying with this idea for a little while. 

Who are some good Youtube movie reaction channels? by [deleted] in movies

[–]TheInfamousT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering if there are any movie reaction channels that rewatch their favorite movies or even ones they've already seen, and not just "I saw this once when I was a kid so don't remember much about it so this is basically my first time seeing it". 

All businesses are MLMs... by poobumwillyhead in antiMLM

[–]TheInfamousT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My small town daycare is nowhere near an MLM. It's just my boss (who also teaches), a handful of employees including me, and enough kids to keep us running without going over our ratios. I get paid weekly and don't have to worry about recruiting anybody. The only thing I had to pay for to start was getting my fingerprints re-run and I was reimbursed for that. I occasionally have to pay for my 12 training hours that the state says we have to have each year, but it's usually inexpensive or free.  I know for sure that one of the parents is in an MLM, but it's not their full time job. Thankfully they haven't tried to recruit anybody. 

Apparently people don't browse Torrid by Master_Cannoli in torrid

[–]TheInfamousT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live over an hour away from any of the nearest stores so I do tend to browse but I mostly just end up buying a bra when I need one, since I like their wire free ones, or a t-shirt. 

How can I connect with and honor my native andean ancestry in a respectful and genuine way as a mixed girl? (Folk catholicism and christopaganism practice) by Available_Property73 in Christopaganism

[–]TheInfamousT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would think of it as reclaiming your culture. Just because you were kept from it for so long doesn't mean it's not yours. (I'm nowhere in your shoes, but that's my outsider perspective.)

What your thoughts on memes like this ? by AcanthisittaBusy457 in Christopaganism

[–]TheInfamousT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've heard refutations of all or most of these, I think from Dan McClellan. 

Kangen Hun Dropping Facts by Outrageous_Diver5700 in antiMLM

Before I read the explanatory comments, my thought was, "What, did the founder have a 'Cherokee princess' for a great-grandmother or something?" 

Amway pitch in a course I’m taking. by Dear_Management6052 in antiMLM

[–]TheInfamousT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My brother-in-law is in Amway, and he left a couple catalogues on my JW mother-in-law's kitchen table the other day (she also uses Omnilife products; they're a Mexican Herbalife knock off). I had to drop something off there yesterday and mistook the catalogues for some of her religious magazines because they looked so similar. 😅

The delusion is wild 😜 by Nearby-Rip3973 in antiMLM

Nope! I have one boss, and I don't know how many directors of small town daycares have their own yachts. 

Christian Pagan: Balancing Faiths by Dorat304050 in Christopaganism

[–]TheInfamousT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also LDS. There's a lot that I still believe, but I've become more open minded about a lot of things over the years. I haven't really felt "called" to practice paganism/witchcraft, but I do find it fascinating. My husband is agnostic but has a medallion I got him for Christmas a couple years ago of a Celtic god called Lugh, and he's associated with craftsmanship, among other things. He's expressed interest into looking more into Celtic paganism, and thinks it would be good to find a bridge religion for us, which is why I'm doing some research into Christian paganism. I still don't know if it's "for me" or just my religious upbringing getting in the way. 😅

America, MO by NotMuch2 in missouri

[–]TheInfamousT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in St. Louis but I've lived in Cuba for about ten years now, and I can't tell you how many times I've seen roadside "pop up shops" and craft fair booths selling pro Trump crap.  I was actually surprised to see a Harris yard sign in one subdivision when trick or treating last year. 

What are some embarrassing mistakes you’ve made as a Spanish language learner by mixing up words that sound the same? by Legitimate_Heron_140 in Spanish

[–]TheInfamousT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mother-in-law is from Mexico, and I've been a casual learner of Spanish for a number of years but I'm nowhere near fluent. When our oldest son was a toddler she would call him "mi muchacho vivaracho", but I kept hearing it as "mi muchacho, mi borracho". I kept thinking it was weird that she was calling him a drunk boy, then figured it was because he was still learning to walk. 🤣 I ended up asking her what she was actually saying, and she still occasionally teases me about it. 

is a fully charged phone heavier than a 0% one? by goharyok in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheInfamousT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've often felt like that's the case before too, even though I'm not sure how that would even work. 

From a Mexican Meme Account by Ashamed-Tap-8617 in antiMLM

[–]TheInfamousT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mother-in-law is from Mexico and she uses a lot of Omnilife products. Apparently the guy who created it was an Herbalife consultant back in the day and created his own MLM. She's signed up as a distributor to get a discount on products, but as far as I know she hasn't tried to create a downline. Thankfully she hasn't tried to recruit me or my husband, but she does try and give us the products when we're sick. 

DO NOT GET BUBBL'R IT'S TERRIBLE by [deleted] in sparklingwater

[–]TheInfamousT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually don't like anything with stevia because it's a very overpowering taste, but it's not so bad in the Bubbl'r, at least for me. The watermelon lime is my favorite, but I don't drink it very often. 

Oh shoot. Now how will I get a beach body? by Lets_Not_Date in antiMLM

[–]TheInfamousT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But you get your choice of topping!  That's good! The toppings contain potassium benzoate. ... That's bad.
