Back in the 1980s, this used to be referred to as "the Myth of the Benevolent Corporation."

I hate that I know this, but the Barbie said, "Math class is tough."

You're never more than eight feet away from a spider.

I was 9 or 10 years old, in a fundamentalist Catholic school, where they hit us and made us attend religion class every day and mass three times a week. Some of the kids were extremely devout. I tried to be a good Catholic and didn't question anything. The nuns reveled in telling us that we were all Sinners, and we could never be worthy of the great sacrifice of Jesus's life.

One day after school I had a total panic attack that I might never be good enough to avoid hell. I was crying for several minutes. A voice in my head said, "No one knows if any of the things they claim are true."

I immediately felt a tremendous sense of relief, and I never doubted or questioned if there was a god or gods again. I can still remember where I was, what I was wearing, the time of day it was. It was a profound and revelatory experience.

Edit : I'm sure many faithful people would say I was never a good Christian, but that's just a no true Scotsman

So... Not a drag queen?

I think it is different for everyone. My deconversion was revelatory, and I immediately felt a huge sense of relief.

I kept a copy of the kindle installer that works. I can't live without my de-drm.

Mine still works. I use the kindle for pc app, but it's an old version. I think Amazon blocked it on newer versions.

If you're blocked, it could also be a deviated septum. I had mine fixed and the difference is incredible. Recovery about 2 days .

Congratulations! I'm happy for you.

 

I am hoping this may be a more welcoming community then over on that "R" network.

What are some of your controversial theories about True Crime cases?

One of mine is that Kyron Horman wasn't kidnapped. No one saw him being taken from the school, even though there were a lot of people in the parking lot. There isn't any evidence that the stepmother is guilty, she never refused to speak with the police, and the police have never named her a suspect. His childhood friend said he was headed to the basement of the school building. Maybe he got into a gap in the walls or ceiling of his school, was trapped there and suffocated.

I think Sabrina Aisenberg was kidnapped, and that her parents had nothing to do with it.
