“Eve”/Promise

Things my brain thinks are the same “flavor”: Tuesdays, evangelicals, chiropractors, paid parking, canned mushrooms.

If something online makes you enraged, and you respond from that rage, you are most likely being used precisely how some bot farm/propaganda machine wants you to be used. Your rage is the fuel that is needed to run culture wars that distract from focusing on the most unifying issues.

Threads decided to completely freeze up my account for over a week now. Apparently it’s still there, I just can’t get the app or web version to load my account. Anyone else have this problem?

That means so much to hear 🥰 wishing you both the best!

And it is absolutely minimal compared to everything else he does for me. All this to say, please don’t let someone gaslight you into thinking that you deserve poor treatment because they found a singular, minimal act to hold over your head. It is better to be alone in peace than together in turmoil.

…relationship, making myself coffee in the mornings became the most peaceful practice in my life. I raised the standard for how I should be treated, by treating myself that way. Now I’m married to someone who makes me the BEST coffee, everyday, and sits with me and has a peaceful moment with me.

…that was the bare minimum a good partner does for someone they love. I didn’t even tell her I had asked him to please stop making my coffee (he would wake me up, and then yell at me for not being grateful for the coffee I didn’t ask for). It was “kindness” weaponized. When I finally ended that…

…were worshipping a reality tv star known for his crass remarks about women. I wanted to figure out why and get to know the “real” god/bible. It all fell apart. I’m now an anti-Christian nationalist, atheist, and activist. I love encouraging people towards truth and freedom and away from dogma💖

Hi 👋 My name is Promise. I was an evangelical Christian for 20+ years. My parents were pastors/missionaries most of my life. My dad wrote the book on 7 mountain theology. When I was in my mid 20s, in ministry school, I started questioning everything I thought was true. Pastors I had looked up to…

So do we just treat this thing like Twitter (rip)??
