      do tell? I’m not aware of this. I’ve mostly managed to avoid having detailed contact with these weirdos, and only in the last few years happened to encounter … their profiles and such. to my knowledge i’ve not yet managed to meet any of the mainliners of this shit in ZA

        Iirc she comes from a weird religious background, so her not wanting to be connected back to that isn’t not that sneerworthy.

        Her dad is a big dude in hardcore calvinist apologetics. I can’t remember the org name but like - hard hardcore fundies.

            A lot of these people come from the ex-fundie world. This has been noted with other cults too.
