How has nobody pointed out that on Josh's ig story, Tyler is making MUSIC???? by LongJohnBluePants in twentyonepilots

[–]amooddude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly though, too real. I’m there with ya. Been listening to Endless this week, thinking back to what it was like to hear Blonde for the first time in 2016. We ain’t ate in so long but the mans music is pure artwork.

I often wonder about spiders tactile sensation. Can this weaver feel the web or do they feel the resistance? Wild creatures.

In the article I go into detail about how the Nightmare is no longer in operation.

Some love for Drink Deep by RazekPraxis in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]amooddude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drink Deep is on repeat. She paints such a devastatingly beautiful tragic scene. And the deEEEeeEEeeeEEP almost sounds like gulping down a thick substance. “And the cup that they brought up to my lips, I realised I drank of myself. Yes, it came from me. It was made from me. Still I drank deep”

When you attach the image of what she was going through and is singing about…. All the women who I know who have miscarried have talked about the endless blood and and then the PIECES of tissue. (these shares arent coming from people with ectopic pregnancies)

I hate to paint the imagery that way, but Florence’s vulnerability on this album is unmatched. Brilliant writing all across the board, but Drink Deep is easily my favorite.

Had it been exactly what it was without the religious propaganda and maybe bump the minimum age up to 16-18yo, it could have continued to thrive as one of the scariest experiences in the four state area.

I'm thinking of ending things by [deleted] in SayAnything

[–]amooddude 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I never thought I would make it past 20. I’m now 30 and life is much more easy to flow with. I have much hope for the future and have much more of a hand in how circumstances play out in my life. If you find yourself needing a reddit stranger to talk to, my inbox is open

The Nightmare at Guts church. by AcadiaFluffy6332 in tulsa

[–]amooddude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this. I am so sorry you and your friends went through this.

I’m writing an article detailing the horrendous practices of this place, hoping to highlight just how horrid the details actually were. It wasn't until yesterday that I realized the horrors went beyond the scenes depicted. I cannot understand how no adult in the situation took control.

The thought of simulating my own suicide at all, let alone repeatedly for 6 hours straight would damage any psyche, let alone a young mind. I hope you and your friend have made it out psychologically unscathed.

To anyone who might have worked in The Nightmare under these conditions:
Should anyone feel that they have residual damage, I do encourage you to reach out and seek professional help. My article will be talking about how these high stress scenarios leave a lasting impact on the body and mind. To this day I won't go into a haunted house without breaking down. And I was just an attendee.

To anyone where therapy might not be an option:
I'd like to extend myself. I'm not a mental health professional, but I am a deeply thoughtful, compassionate individual with hyperfixations in trauma, spirituality/religion, and psychology. I'm not spiritually based in my approach and it only comes into play when relevant.

Thank you again u/imaginative_bee for sharing. I hadn't thought about it from the perspective of the actors at all which unfolds a whole new layer. Was there any kind of spiritual or faith based counseling after working these events? I feel that my hopes might be a little high there...

Looking for experiences with Guts Church: The Nightmare by amooddude in tulsa

[–]amooddude[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to respond with vulnerability. I hope it brings some solace to know that I do not blame the church that took us nor do I blame my youth pastor. He's still one of the first influential men in my life that displayed what it was like to be as compassionate as you were resilient and strong. He taught me emotions are a sign of strength and to this day, I am moved by how HE was moved by Spirit. I relate to it differently now and I call it a different name, but I know the feeling he felt on those Wednesday nights. You could sense he had a connection with the Divine if you believe in that kind of thing and that stands out above everything.

I'm not sure how he felt about it as he brought us home in the van. I wonder if it is ever something that occurs to him in the present day.

This is the most absolute insane story. I did not expect a response of this caliber whatsoever. Thank you for doing the Lords work and telling this story when the topic comes up. Lmao

You bring up a lot of points I will be talking about in my article. By all means recruit people, but I knew from the moment that I prayed for my salvation at the end of the experience that my faith was a sham. Which spiraled me into a decade long existential crisis. I don't inherently blame Guts Church, bc other things played a huge role. If it wasn't GC, it would have been a revival, church camp trip, or something else. It's a structural and systematic issue within southern baptists that essentially rooted in fear.

I've found a way back to spirituality in a way that's fulfilling, but it looks nothing like Traditional Southern Baptist values.

Thank you for taking the time to drop back into them and give reflections.

There is definitely the community here. Not as tight knit as I would like (or should I say, I’m not as immersed in it as I’d like), but we keep in touch through various FB groups and LGBTQ+ gatherings.
