It's really crazy to realize that, in a way covid is the best thing that ever happened to me. To be clear, the pain and death caused by the pandemic is in no way worth the small gains it circumstantially brought me but that's why it's weird to think about.
I don't know when or if I ever would have recognized the parental and spiritual abuse I was dealing with, if the pandemic didn't make it more apparent and me less busy. I might not have been able to do my internship that led to my job offer because of the distance and my then lack of a license. I wouldn't have the funds I need to move out unless my internship was virtual and interest was paused on federal student debt. I might have been too scared to leave those I knew in the cult, but because of lack of in person events I was able to mostly distance myself.
Even now it can suck ass. I'm stuck with these abusers nearly 24/7 and can't see anyone who actually cares for me. I'm terrified about getting Covid and increasingly disgusted by the lack of government response. So knowing how all this awful stuff has helped me, and also other people in groups like this brings me a small comfort. It will never be a fair trade but it's something positive.
i always thought i might be bad now i’m sure that it’s true cause i think you’re so good and i’m nothing like you
look at you go i just adore you i wish that i knew what makes you think i’m so special
Did they ever reveal how Captain America was thawed? Because I’m picturing a bunch of Shield agents with hair dryers and I don’t think that’s quite right.
i am a simple apostate. i see a system or institution that discourages thinking and making decisions for yourself, ostracizes people, tells you to never question their authority, tells you it knows you better than you know yourself and thinks something is inherently wrong with people that only they can “fix” and i want to destroy it and burn it to the fucking ground with my bare hands
*kill bill sirens*
The reason I stay up late is because I don’t want my free time to end and tomorrow to start
Hey reblog this with a weird thing that made you realize you were in a cult, I'll go first.
Commentary channels were huge for me because they had to lay out their evidence and reasoning in a logical way, which is in stark contrast to supposedly well argued religious talks. But especially videoes bashing and explaining multi-level marketing schemes?! They discuss how these groups mislead existing members and their manipulative recruiting methods. Meanwhile I'm there agreeing that this are bad and even cult-like policies while in a evangelical doomsday group like "why is this so familiar 🤔..."
terfs/radfems go fuck yourselves lmao
Can you really present Christian weddings as monogamous when they're inherently throuples?
There's you, there's God, and there's your side-person, oh right. The term is spouse.
