@BenZeisloft And this is why I don’t care anymore. I was raised on a constant fear of Hell. I was told my Catholic grandparents were going to hell bc they weren’t the right kind of Christian. The end result is I threw it all in the garbage where it belongs.
@Dr_Oubre Being hospitalized for 10 days (PP Preeclampsia) absolutely changed the way I approached my job as a hospital discharge planner. I always tried to put people first but it’s so easy to just see a room # and their “problems” on a screen when your caseload is too high.
@BenZeisloft To be fair, as a former mega-church attendee who is currently a toddler parent in a tiny Presbyterian church with no nursery….it’s very distracting to try and keep my kid occupied and not screaming for an hour in a pew. I miss volunteering in the kids ministry at my old church
@clhubes I had to leave the safe sleep and car seat safety groups I briefly joined on Facebook. People are militant and believe that their way is the only way. I would argue that, with child rearing, there are hundreds of ways to do things and they’re mostly all fine.
@allyragsdale If God can’t handle his people doing some stretches at the YMCA a couple of times a week to help themselves unwind and stay fit, I don’t want that God.
@JennMGreenberg When the Bible says God hates divorce I take it to mean that it makes him sad that there was hurt and suffering in a situation that was intended to be full of love and partnership. Not that he hates it so we should never be allowed to end a marriage, regardless of circumstances.
@momofdroids Ridiculous. I feel guilty sending some of the stuff I do for my son’s lunch/snack but I’m with you- I’m not going to keep wasting food if I know he’s not going to eat it. I send what he likes.
@emilykmay The thing that terrifies me is that now his younger daughters will NEVER have a chance to marry an outsider. They will be sold to men from their cult.
@KaathyLa@taranarmstrong As a step mom to a tween boy I can assure you that there is only so much parents can do after a certain point. Outside societal influences are strong, ESPECIALLY with YouTube/tik tok/ social media. We don’t even let him have his own social media but his friends all do. 😢
@grannyknowslove@taranarmstrong I don’t know if I see it happening but I want it to happen. I want to see what the game would be like without Cirie. It’s been interesting but now I’m bored.
