    The religions we grew up in are similar. Bethel Pentecostal village in the middle of nowhere in my case, and my family were the outsiders (teh devils!) who moved there for cheap housing.

    I’m sorry you had to sit in church and listen to that. It’s terrifying for kids to experience the adults who are supposed to take care of them, giddy/possessed over the world ending.

    I didn’t learn about their Israel obsession until my 20s. Christians moving to Israel so they can plant olive trees because it’ll help the world end absolutely blew my mind.
