    My mom smiling at everyone as we walk into church immediately after she bent me over her knee in the parking lot for saying I didn’t want to go to church.

    It just occurred to me that I’m saying the same thing as OP. We were victims of cultists.

      The worst part of it, to me, is that the smiling isn’t even a cover, or faked because she’s still remembering what just happened. The child is dismissed from the mind as soon as it complies, and she’s just so happy to see all the friends at church.

    And remember, if they’re whacking you with the belt and you move in reaction and they miss and hit you elsewhere on your body, it’s somehow your fault.

    I dunno how I never fucking killed them.

      Ah, the good old days of browsing the Landover Baptist Church website.

      Where you could buy a T-shirt that reads: “STONE DISOBEDIENT CHILDREN.”

        I’m sure that would work, but giving weed to people who are still developing is not acceptable, even for religious purposes.

          I think they meant having rocks thrown at you. Not to be confused with weed, though having rocks thrown at you will also fuck you up.
