What’s your favorite bible stories of god being really shit to people for no good reason? Obviously Job is THE “wait, is god the asshole” story, but personally I’ll never get over god just, y’know, TURNING LOT’S WIFE INTO A PILLAR OF SALT. Taking away what the story is supposed to be telling us symbolically, god did NOT have any good reason to do that. She did what, GLANCE BACK? Jehovah I promise you bro it is not that serious 😭

Ughhh i woke to a phone call from a Jehovah's witness. The woman tried to small talk and obfuscate her reason for calling but I did not engage and cut in to ask what she was calling for and when she tried to direct me to a website i recognized the url and told her not to call again. But wtf?! Why am I getting phone calls for this bullshit

How delusional do you have to be to think that the religion that has forcibly invaded and converted multiple countries throughout the centuries has preserved languages and cultures.

Old norse was only converted to the Latin alphabet because of Christianity, almost destroying the runic alphabet.

Christians forced indigenous children in North America and Canada to attend schools that stripped them of their culture and abuse them into Christianity. There are still Christian organisations who are dedicated to preaching to the native tribes on the North American continent.

How many mythological/folklore/fairytale figures have been diluted down to make it more christian friendly? How many have been demonised because they went against christian values?

How many historical artifacts or culturally significant items have been stolen or destroyed because of Christianity?

It genuinely breaks my heart to think of all the pain and suffering and death Christianity has caused to numerous countries, and the historical knowledge we might have lost in the process.

Having a lot of thoughts this m*thers day.

I HATE the way the mormon church automatically assigns m*therhood to all girls/women/afabs.

M*ther's Day at church always looked like making ALL the girls and women 12 and older (literal children) stand up while a member of the bishopric/branch presidency placated them with meaningless missives of gratitude and about how being a m*m is the most divine role a woman can hold (🤮🤢) while the young men passed out a cheap little gift to every single women standing.

I thought this tradition wouldn't exist in the singles ward. I was wrong. Same shit again. It was around then (18/19) I realized how gross this felt to me.

I don't want to be a m*ther. EVER. But I didn't even realize I had the choice to opt out of parenthood until I was a full blown adult (fortunately before I had any children) I was literally groomed for m*therhood by the church.

Young women's lessons and activities spent planning out children's names, making baby quilts for our future children (ma'am I am 12 years old. I AM children.) And learning parenting tips and how to be a good stay at home wife/m*ther.

I have such a difficult relationship with m*therhood and the mormon church is the cause for a LOT of it. I've been out of the church for many years now and I am still unpacking and unlearning.

But, damn this time of the year is hard for me.

i don’t know why i only recently realized that most kids didn’t grow up with the anxiety of thinking that at some point in the near future they’d have to hide in their basement or attic because the government would hunt them down because their religion would be banned due to ‘gods plan’.

most kids didn’t have to feel guilt at wanting that day to never come even though god said it would happen because they were scared. most kids didn’t have to see real footage of peoples homes being invaded by police in countries were their religion was banned.

most kids never watched a dramatization imade by their religion where in the end police found the basement full of people were it was implied that you better be ready for that to happen to you because there’s a high chance it will.

most kids never watched a music video made by their religion where they were in an open field and police members rushed towards them guns drawn with the implied you better have the courage to be able to face that in the future because it very well could.

most kids don’t have this fear that runs so deep in me because their religion never did that. and hell, maybe it fucking did i don’t know anything about what other kids childhoods were like. but that was my childhood. this is my life.

having nightmares about my house being raided by police and being held at gunpoint.

being terrified of police men or swat members because my only exposure growing up was how in the future they’d hunt us down.

still wondering if i would be able to survive time in prison because growing up we were told we should be ready to serve if it means keeping our faith

this shouldn’t be my normal. but it is. and i fucking hate the watchtower for making it so.

fuck the governing body, fuck all those videos they made for their convention. fuck being raised a jehovah's witness. i fucking hate it

the sydney herald have just published an article about how jehovah's witnesses are forced to forego blood transfusions & the statements the spokesman makes just kinda make me sick

when i was 12 i needed urgent knee repairs & my mother refused to sign for a blood transfusion should the worst happen. i begged her to sign because i both needed the surgery & didn't want to die. the anesthesiologist who was on that day didn't let the surgery go ahead when she refused, saying that in the worst case scenario if i started to bleed out on his table, his team would do everything in their power to save my life. they wouldn't just patch me up & hope for the best. realising that a man i'd never met before valued my life more than my mother did was deeply horrifying

#rj speaks #ex jw #tw cult #there's so much more to say about the means of enforcing these decisions #'decisions' like you have a choice lol #but i'm too tired to write more atm #if you have any questions about this & other jw issues i'm always keen to educate #it's worth noting that i kinda put the blame on my mother here because she was the one with me but my dad fully supports this #a parent is an open wound #auspol #aotearoa

[seraphimfall]

the idea of going through all i’ve gone through— the cult religious indoctrination, the encouragement of misogyny, the violent homophobia— just to turn my back on trans people is fucking asinine.

i refuse to believe that trans people who suffer under the exact same hetero-patriarchal system are somehow “also to blame” for misogyny and homophobia.

i will never allow petty arguments rooted in reactionary rhetoric and misattributed trauma push me away from my trans brothers and sisters.

we suffered together, under the exact same system; some suffering significantly more than myself. the violence, the bigotry, the sexual assault— we all felt it together. i saw it. we saw it. our childhoods were seeped in it, like a noxious poison. we stuck together because we only had each other.

i will never allow myself to believe this lie; this lie of “they are somehow also to blame”. not after everything i saw, not after everything i went through.

Directly after this, I informed her of the fact that Jehovah’s Witnesses refer to the Governing Body as “The Faithful and Discreet Slave”. Her response?

I'm not sure if I'll ever recover from believing that fearing someone is a crucial aspect of loving someone and I fully blame Christianity for that.

God-fearing is such a fucked up term especially since its viewed as a positive thing.

Okay so you know how lqq basically to the whole court was like yah xl was just saying shit to harm himself maybe don't let him do anything drastic au branching off from that where jun wu still kept him under house arrest as punishment for not doing insane slaughter and his newest attempt to isolate xl but excused it as "suicide watch"

#heaven official's blessing #jun wu #lang qianqiu #xie lian #Tw: suicide #Tw: self harm #Love that lqq basically announced to the whole court that xl was just saying he's guilty bc he wanted to self harm #And than it's just never mentioned again #I think this would have been a great opportunity for jw to lean into his evil dad persona #Like perfect opportunity for him to isolate xl #And than when invariably xl doesn't listen he can use it as an excuse to escalate things #Like originally it's house arrest in his own palace and than house arrest in jw palace #And he can use it to spread rumors about hulian “oh xie lian thinks hc is his friend for self harm purposes its truly tragic ” #I have so many thoughts about this au now

i think it's a pretty well-known fact that xtians have the biggest persecution complexes on the planet when being called out for the bigotry they pass around like blunts. but i also think it's just a little worse when they only pretend to support you or do that half-support bullshit. the "i'm okay with it but i'd want to fix you" or "i'm not against it but it's still wrong" kind of stuff.
