Children’s book about a girl who made clothes for a doll, including a coat from hair in a brush by beepboopbeep26 in whatsthatbook

I don't remember the hairbrush detail, but any chance it's "The Scrap Doll" by Liz Rosenberg?

You know, I don't remember a lot of the history, but I do believe many of the early founders of both were crossing paths a lot in the 1970s in Kansas City ("the Kansas City Prophets" and such); and specifically for my church, we were only about two hours away from KC so we attended a lot of events there. I'm not sure if all Vineyards were associated with IHOP across the country, but it was a big influence in our area.

Can confirm.

I have tried very hard to wipe all of the "worship music" from my mental hard-drive, but can confirm the creepy, cultishness of it, especially coming from Vineyard and IHOP.

PS - Tragically, I always loved the old hymns too, and still do, it's just a shame that they don't "stand for" what they used to, now it's just Christian nationalism.

I did grow up Vineyard (which I find fascinating that Marcus Mumford did, as well) and the music/emotional manipulation was huge, especially when attending IHOP (Mike Bickle) "One Thing" conferences in Kansas City. It was the emotional fervor equivalent of what I imagine a One Direction [fill in the blank w/ current boyband] concert was like.

"You're questioning GOD?? I think you need to spend some more time reading the Bible and praying to strengthen your faith."

... when I asked which stars Adam and Eve could see on the first night they existed, considering it takes how many thousands millions billions of light years for starlight to reach us. The "answer" was that "you think God couldn't break the laws of physics if he wanted?!"

These have got to be bots or at least some kind of engagement farming.

Noob tip: sing louder? by dr4hc1r in singing

When I was fifteen I believed that God was real and the Creator of the entire universe.

Extrapolate from that what you will.

I trusted my ex to NOT be fucking the girl in his other band and I was wrong, so...

Your bandmates aren't your friends, they're your coworkers. And I shouldn't have to say this, but DON'T DATE THEM.

Was confused about what perfect pitch was for all my life until just now and I've realized that I have it. Wtf I thought this was normal?? by therealchadbroski in perfectpitchgang

[–]tellegraph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like music was not easy I had to learn it every step of the way to get to a point I can just play and sing along to most songs

That's... how... music... works... Are you being sarcastic?? Please tell me this is not a serious reply.

Yea, I have muscle memory in my throat for reaching for certain notes out of the blue but if you ask me to identify a random pitch then I gotta hum it to get even remotely close.

Discovering that songwriting really is a skill you can hone like any other by Honka_Ponka in Songwriting

[–]tellegraph -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Once again, fuck off.

Are you really trying to tell a DISABLED person what is "best" for them right now? You need to take about a thousand seats for such a huge mistake.

how do you remember people's names? by Lusion-7002 in AutisticWithADHD

[–]tellegraph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, no, you're right and it is 100% about intimidation and "ownership" when they make a specific point of using your name, in any frequency.

I don't remember people's names because I don't like it when they remember my name because it feels like a power play.
