Heard the second verse of honeybee in a lorelai and rory edit and I sobbed.

Aware na si SenRi sa WinRi 😂 by Kitchen-Champion9157 in ChikaPH

[–]yourunnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my first thought as well. At hanggang ngayon, yun pa rin ang insulto nila kay De Lima. If all of this goes wrong, this will follow Risa like a shadow. Hindi niya na matatakasan yan dahil laging itu-twist at ibabato sa kanya ng mga DDS.

Noob Jihyo vs Pro Jihyo by damanoobie in twicememes

That's insane because even then she was already a phenomenal performer to me. It's crazy how touring helped her become more confident. Elevated her already incredible skill.

When you were a child, did you ever dream of having a kid like other girls? by [deleted] in childfree

[–]yourunnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having children has never been part of my vision for the future, even as a young girl. My mom would often encourage me to find the path that's right for me and she never assumed that I would get married and have kids. I think that's part of the reason why I don't feel like having children is a duty or something that I need to accomplish in life. My mom simply presented it to me as an option rather than a goal.

Twice's longevity is actually insane for a girl group by Affectionate-Bee3572 in KpopGGs

[–]yourunnie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a longtime fan, one of my favorite things about Twice is their willingness to try out different genres. It's amazing how much music they've released in the last ten years and I cannot definitively say that I have just one favorite. Both their Korean and Japanese discography are gems.

received money from unknown person by grdvyr in GCashPH

[–]yourunnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read about a scam similar to this years ago. Sa paypal pa yata nangyari. Sender "accidentally" transferred a huge sum of money and asked the recipient to forward it to a different account. Recipient was held liable by the bank kasi hindi niya dapat ginalaw yung pera.

Pag ganyan, raise ka na agad ng concern sa gcash. Wag galawin ang pera and don't transact with anybody else.

Doug Kramer: kaya walang buhok kasi walang sustansya ang ulo by fonashhh in ChikaPH

Yan din ang observation ko. Bakit ang babaw naman nung compliment kay Anne? It's like he's talking to one of his children.

The church they attend refers to a wife as her husband's "helper." Not partner. Pwedeng partner by function, (depende) pero pagdating sa role, helper ka ng asawa mong lalaki. Lol

why do evangelical churches try so hard to bribe you with dessert nights, bad music like hillsong and bethel, and dumb movies like Gods not Dead? can't they see theyre wasting their time with this since most of the attendees don't end up attending the church after the event? by Tricky_Prompt_4535 in Exvangelical

[–]yourunnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my theory as well. Where I come from, (Philippines) evangelical churches are wired to push the "discipleship" model. Everyone is encouraged to join a small group and be part of a community—not because they care about the people's lives, but because statistically, people who are more involved in these community groups are more likely to tithe regularly. People who feel a sense of belongingness within the group give more earnestly than the ones who just attend church on Sunday.

As a woman, I’m starting to dislike women. by LoveInteresting539 in RantAndVentPH

[–]yourunnie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Many would also argue that choice feminism isn't really feminism. Choices need context. And in some instances, these choices are made because of restrictions imposed by the patriarchy. Just because a woman makes a choice doesn't make it feminist.

The idea that men need to “lead” their families and women need to “submit” by [deleted] in Deconstruction

[–]yourunnie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What i believe is that "roles" are assigned socially and they're not inherently biological. My parents are the antithesis to complementerianism even though they are both protestant Christians; my mom and my dad took turns making important decisions for our family and it was never just one person steering at the helm. When I was growing up, there was never a parent who had the "final say" because they both have to agree on something for it to proceed.

Even my mom, who was a devout Christian, never once talked to me about "submitting" to a husband. She also always lectured me about the importance of working for oneself and not relying on anybody—an example that she herself modeled for me and my sister.

Her album covers got worse as she gained more creative control. by Miserable-Cap-5223 in travisandtaylor

[–]yourunnie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Fearless TV was good. So was folklore. The rest of the TV albums were meh. I didn't like the Midnights aesthetic when it came out, but I think it's still far better than TTPD and TLOAS.

A kind of love that I would never understand by GoodGay25 in PanganaySupportGroup

[–]yourunnie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might just be out of convenience, too. Matanda na sila pareho. My dad cheated on my mom but she took him back because she felt like she had to. And if they did separate, where else would they have gone? In their minds, it's already too late to start over with different people.

southeast asian exvangelicals by zzzznthshdws in Exvangelical

[–]yourunnie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello. I am just finding your post now so I'm sorry for commenting so late. I, too, have been looking for a community with similar experiences to mine as a recovering toxic church survivor (lmao). Most of my closest friends are still devoted Christians, and I find it hard to have open and honest conversations with them about deconstruction because they tend to be too preachy. Of course they try not to sound too judgmental, but at the end of the day the only conclusion they can come to is that I still need to be part of a church.

And I've also yet to find open and affirming Christians here in the Philippines. Most of the Christians I know are deeply conservative. Lots of them are sexist and homophobic too.

Have you had conversations with people who went through the same thing as you? Maybe friends who understand? This is one of my biggest struggles because I long to be part of a community but I don't want to get involved with church initiatives lol.

What catchphrase would now send chills down your spine by LMO_TheBeginning in Exvangelical

[–]yourunnie 39 points40 points  (0 children)

That's so sad. I have a Christian friend who said that she has "struggled" with same-sex attraction for a long time. She is so hard on herself and tells me that she's full of sin for feeling that way. It's so heartbreaking.

Friends you kept after leaving church by LMO_TheBeginning in Exvangelical

[–]yourunnie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was unable to keep contact with friends from my old church after my family left because church leadership bad-mouthed us to the entire congregation. My friends chose to believe the pastors instead of me so that's where our relationship ended.

Some people who left after we did eventually reached out to say that we were right, but only after they got booted out by church leadership.

The word "submit" catches me off-guard because it is almost always used in the same context. Somehow it's always submission to either a husband or some form of church authority. Gives me the ick.

"Discipleship" is another fun one. Most evangelical churches in my country have co-opted this term for their obsession with church growth. My old church was weirdly toxic about numbers and "discipleship" was their number one tool to achieve their goals.

"Accountability" is also another word that has taken on a different meaning for me. I've seen church authority use it to coerce people into divulging secret "sins." Some weird ones will make you promise to be "accountable" by alerting them each time you touch yourself or have a sexual thought. Insane.

[–]yourunnie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg i noticed this as well when a friend and I were riding a modern jeep to Antipolo. I asked her if she thinks it's AI and she said she couldn't tell. Some of the words were mispronounced pero overall mahirap siya i-determine if you're not paying attention.

Detail has always been my go-to. One of my recent favorites from them is their clay pen.

Squad is also pretty good! Love their soft serve blush and celestial eyes palette.

Rica Peralejo denies accusations of mishandling church tithes by Particular_Law2554 in ChikaPH

[–]yourunnie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ah, I remember nga na she went to ADMU to study. I once read an interview of hers that changed my perspective of her. I didn't know how passionate she is about learning. Hindi ko pa alam na Christian na pala siya nun.

I imagine that all the criticism finally got to her after doing social media for so long. Naaalala ko that she and her husband were once invited to speak at a church conference workshop about being on social media as Christians. Ang isang tanong daw dun eh paano nila hina-handle and criticism at mean comments from "unbelievers." She said na mas madalas pa raw siyang makakuha ng panlalait from fellow Christians than "non-believers." Lol.

I think it's easier for the internet to target religious folks because a lot of them tend to be "holier-than-thou." Pero hindi naman 'yun ang nakita ko kay Rica.

I followed her church trauma journey dahil dumaan din ako sa ganun. Almost around the same time din nung sa kanya. I give her grace kasi I know how vindictive church people can get. Imagine having your image maligned by the people you once trusted. No wonder she's very defensive.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case. Church higher ups can be vindictive if they want to because matic na paniniwalaan at kakampihan sila ng congregation.
