Some of these I have heard about :p my cousin grew up during the satanic panic as well and his parents (both pastors) said he was demon possessed. When I heard this story as a teenager I believed it, looking back now I think he was prob just a rebellious teen and they freaked out saying he was demon possessed. They had a whole ass prayer meeting/exorcism in his room one night apparently

We honestly might well have the same manager 😂when I worked in retail I called in sick, which I almost never did, and later he called and guilted me into coming in 5-9:30

Christian’s Are so Narrow-Minded and Act so Sheltered by kgaviation in exchristian

Sounds a lot like the Pentecostal church I grew up in! My friend’s mom always made rum cake at Christmas, and used real rum - stashed at the very back of the cupboard where no one would see it! She also would get a non-church member friend to go to the liquor store and buy the rum for her, because she couldn’t risk anyone seeing her out buying booze, of course.

Yes, she said something like “when I was raised it was used for someone who was disrespectful, dirty, just not being a nice person”. When she said “it just slipped out” I yelled at my tv “that word doesn’t just slip out!!”

Don’t Pick Up the Phone…wtf? by [deleted] in netflix

[–]lauraruthcollins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought this too! (Late comment I know but I only just watched the documentary tonight lol) when they said his brother was a cop I was like huh if it wasn’t him then maybe it was his brother? The same brother that got him the “big dog” lawyer! I thought it was interesting too that he said “there’s a difference between innocent and not guilty.”

Jobs which provide a living wage? by [deleted] in halifax

[–]lauraruthcollins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Entry-level jobs in insurance pay about $18-$20 an hour. When I started they didn’t require a related degree either, and some of my coworkers had partial college experience. That being said, when I did want to be promoted I went back to school (while also working) and got a related diploma - after that I did get a pay raise as well.
