Her writing details memories of the community and reexamines those memories through adult eyes. Do you have experiences with reconciling the past and the present? How might the study of controversial topics affect our ability to do so? #LambofGod #newreligiousmovement #religion

The Embassy of Heaven website provides a step by step guide for going to jail that details what to do along the way: while being handcuffed, during booking procedures, fingerprinting, body searches, and time in prison. #enemyempathy

[ERE | PGV @EmpathyEnemy]

Embassy of Heaven is a “sovereign citizen” religious group that believes that they are citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven, not the United States. Their members do not use any secular documents; instead, they make their own drivers licenses, license plates, and other documents.

[ERE | PGV @EmpathyEnemy]

They teach their members about what to do in case they run into law enforcement for their fake documents.
