The way "groomer" has been repurposed as an anti-LGBTQ slur makes it more difficult to talk about actual grooming like Dane Cook marrying a woman he's known since she was a child. Which would be why people started using it as an anti-LGBTQ slur--to protect predatory cishet men.

Since people are comparing Gothardism and Hillsong because of the two documentaries, I'm just going to say it, the only real difference between the two is that Hillsong uses hip aesthetics. They're both high control authoritarian cults, Hillsong just hides it behind better music.

This is why "Flowers in the Attic" is trending, and will people please stop giving QT engagement to paid bluecheck white nationalist accounts tweeting AI generated images? Y'all are making them money by boosting it. Screenshot, never quote.

@letitiawright You posted something suggesting that the vaccines were injecting Lucifer, that's a wee bit more than just questioning if it's safe.

@HomeschoolAnon @lovejoyfeminism @TGC @JohnPiper Oh, I remembered something else. Flip Benham, you know, father of the Bigot Twins, the guy went running around North Carolina screaming about trans people being predators? He'd flirt with my friends when we were young teenagers. I've been waiting for a scandal to break with him.

@HomeschoolAnon @lovejoyfeminism Richard "Little Bear" Wheeler used to praise the idea of early courtship so the girl could be molded to be the best possible helpmeet for her future husband. He praised the idea of directing a girl's education so she could help her future husband in his work.

@HomeschoolAnon @lovejoyfeminism @TGC @JohnPiper Too much of the evangelical world sees adult men going after 14 year old girls as only wrong if they engage in sexual contact outside of marriage. Or at least they think that way if it's somebody they know and like and think is godly.

@WFKARS @TrulyTafakari Until relatively recently, it was the accepted position among people who had long criminal records for anti-abortion activism that there was no question that ectopic pregnancies had to be treated. The mainstream movement today is more extreme than clinic bombers in the '90s.

I don't know of better evidence that the Feds need to break up Facebook as a dangerous monopoly than the fact that a single DNS screwup has knocked out communication across three of the biggest platforms worldwide. Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp should not be a single company.
