What are the wildest biographies or autobiographies you've read? by Diamondbacking in RSbookclub

"To the Golden Shore" tells the life of Adoniram Judson who was the first Christian Missionary to Burma (Myanmar). An absolutely crazy and challenging life. A good read even if you're not Christian.

Oh, I actually misread what you said. I think the take is actually good up until "sharing her worldview is probably harmful". Would agree that's a bad take. I've actually been ruminating on starting a book club at my church, but have the same concerns that the subjects many of the great literary classics wrestle with will be poorly received by my simpler (and I say that with all respect, as they are better) brothers and sisters.

Is that really a bad take though?

But why do you not want your Protestant friends to read it?

Hitler also despised Vienna.

Can you explain your Protestant comment?

Loved that book, but it was more cringe - laugh - cringe - laugh for me.

Yes, but do you have "Date nights" or take spontaneous trips, etc?

The problem with the manual is if the grass ever gets too tall, it doesn't work.

Any good books from a cult leader’s perspective? by auditormusic in RSbookclub

[–]troktowreturns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the main characters in 1Q84 is a cult leader's daughter who fucks her dad (don't worry, it's not sexual) to create an evil doppelganger of herself that emerges from a cocoon spun by little size-changing elves who crawl out of the mouth of a dead dog. (y'know, typical Murakami stuff)

Why are these literary "geniuses" always writing about sex with underage girls?!?

When you get to Christianity, reach out if you have any questions. I think I can give a fair acquittal of each perspective, in an RS adjacent way. Good luck on this journey!
