When I was a little kid, I wasn’t allowed to go trick or treating because that was considered satanic by my parents. However, an elderly lady a few miles down the road always saved little bags of candy for me and my sister and gave it to us in November when it wasn’t satanic anymore. Thank you, Sadie Haines. You really made our life a little less shitty. #ExJW#Halloween#memories
When I went to visit my Jehovah’s Witness parents a month or so ago, I told them that I was fighting for and doing my best to protect the land. They told me I shouldn’t bother since this was all foretold in the Bible and everything will be soon destroyed in Armageddon anyway. I’m so glad I left that religion decades ago, but depressed that so many people don’t believe a healthy planet is worth fighting for. #ExJW#armageddon#ClimateCatastrophe#LandDefender#JehovahsWitnesses
I am so filled with dread at what is happening with the climate. The collapse of the Gulf Stream is imminent. What do I do with this knowledge? It’s the same dread I was raised with as a kid believing Armageddon is nigh, only this time the terror is scientific and not religious. #exJW#ClimateAnxiety#ClimateDiary
