    This video is a well-spoken reflection about the effects of religious fear and guilt on young children, and yes it is child abuse to terrify children in this way. (Can skip to 1:20)

      Thank you for sharing and linking that video. It sounds super interesting to me, but I’m not able to watch it yet (although I intend to,) so I can’t comment on the video itself yet, but I wanted to go ahead and thank you so that I don’t forget, haha. It sounds like they and I grew up in similar situations, and it fucked me up, too. So I’m really looking forward to watching it - thanks again! :)

        I’m glad the right people are seeing it. Be kind to yourself when watching, and break it up into shorter chunks if you need to.

        It really digs deep into plenty of back story that I had not heard anywhere else before. Good luck wherever you are on the path of unfucking :-)
