I’m not sure if this is the right community, but just wanted to spark discussion and I love hearing people’s different experiences
Inspired to ask because elsewhere I was telling a story about how I got invited to poker night at Jehovah’s Witnesses one time, and none of it made any sense to me. First of all we were not supposed to be having a party and listening to music, nor gambling, nor drinking according to the rules of JW which were outwardly acknowledged.
But they had come up with all kinds of outs and justifications, and minor rule bendings to justify basically doing all of that. I’m sitting there like thanks for including me guys but this is just a weird scene.
You’re all running off to the laundry room to make alcoholic drinks and coming back to mutually joke about how ya merely went to freshen your Kool-Aid. It was very mentally taxing
Maybe not quite what you were looking for, but my first year in college, some students held a “Love Your Body” parade, which involved students marching around campus completely nude. Of course, the only people who participated were those most people probably would have passed on seeing naked. Just a whole bunch of folks with body image issues (mostly women, but a few men too) and way too much courage. Bizarre.
