Family means the knife held against my throat is done out of love
Hey folks, reminder that if you ever got suckered into a cult, it wasn't because there was anything wrong with you. You didn't sign up to be hurt. You didn't misinform yourself on purpose. You were taken advantage of by someone who exploited your vulnerabilities. Getting into a cult is like getting into any other abusive relationship - it's not the victim/survivor's fault.
saw a post a while back about Sophie making increasingly gaudy hats for Howl for every birthday and him absolutely loving them
bitches really listing Stardew Valley down as one of their calming games when you’re supposed to play it like you’re gonna die every 11 minutes, like an entire operation with at least a dozen tabs open and the townie’s favorite gifts on a spreadsheet and each crops yield-to-time ratio ranked and memorized
I hope everyone with religious trauma finds their truth. Whether it’s a new religion, no religion at all, a new passion or hobby, self acceptance, etc. I hope you are free to be effortlessly yourself and you find peace in your life. <3
Birthday gift for my good friend Rache!! <3
TW MENTION OF SUICIDE
Jehovah's Witnesses used to straight up say you "will not enter paradise" if you commit suicide, but there's a little more leeway on paper now. Sure they won't say "you'll never see your loved one again", but no elder would be caught dead helping you with the funeral. I know of man who was forced to give his own brother's talk/eulogy cause everyone else refused. It's disgusting.
Was anybody else taught that you automatically go to hell if you commit suicide because you aren't "enduring to the end" or is that another specific microcosm of racist, backwater Idaho mormons?
