  1. "I'll Be There for You" is a song by American #popRock duo #theRembrandts. The song was written by #DavidCrane, #MartaKauffman and #AlleeWillis as the main #themeSong to the #NBC sitcom #Friends, which was broadcast from 1994 to 2004. American rock band #REM was originally asked to allow their song "#ShinyHappyPeople" to be used for the Friends theme, but they turned the opportunity down. "I'll Be There for You" was subsequently written.

  2. The "#ShinyHappyPeople" #sequel highlights the #Christian boot camp that traumatized a generation

    The three episodes focus on #TeenMania, a Christian #ministry founded by #RonLuce, with a goal of getting children to turn to #Jesus and reject temptations like #sex, #drugs, and #alcohol.

    But the #darkside of the ministry destroyed so many lives.

  3. Shiny Happy People

    As some people say, this is such a weird song from R.E.M. I’m not their biggest fan, but I’ve been known to enjoy their music from time to time. This one, though, really is catchy and unlike the rest because it really is so happy, and every time it plays (it’s always on the playlist with my favorite songs) I can’t help but think “this is a damn good song”, even though I’m not known for my […]

  4. Watching the Duggar show, finally. Mostly vindicating because I've known what this shit was really about for a very long time. But also infuriating, esp when I saw Michelle Duggar deliver her 19th by c-section and have a miscarriage in her 20th pregnancy. Good thing nobody interfered with her medical care in those instances! #Duggars #shinyhappypeople #quiverfulls #dominionists

  5. I finished the last instalment of the Bill Gothard and Duggar family documentary last night. It was so good.

    What science, nature, history, or sociology documentaries have you all been watching lately?

    I have the urge the watch more of this sort of stuff, especially if Toronto has more rainstorms like they’re predicting.

  6. Recent chat with Seth Andrews (The Thinking Atheist) about the #iblp #cult, and #Duggar finally expose #shinyhappypeople My interview is the third and last. spreaker.com/episode/54165226

  7. So, in context of having seen the #ShinyHappyPeople docuseries about Christian Nationalist group #IBLP, connecting that to Montana banning TikTok (a source of a lot of recovery communities and criticism of toxic Christianity, and the seed for that documentary), and Elon’s destruction of Twitter, then I’m looking over at happening to Reddit, which presently hosts the largest exmormon community online, (275,000 members, 1100 online right now), and these dots are starting to form a picture.

    I’m not sure the Reddit thing is about money or IPO. It seems like part of a coordinated effort across the Internet to shut down anti-authoritarian movements.

    Is anybody else talking about this?

  8. CW: Duggar family, child abuse, religious abuse, cult, Shiny Happy People discussion

    I saw the first episode of Shiny Happy People tonight. Oh, those poor kids. 😔

  9. Have you seen the #shinyhappypeople docuseries exposing the #Duggars & the #IBLP #Gothard #cult? It is important because it exposes #conservative #evangelical #christianity in the #USA and how long plans have been in motion to basically take over all levels of government - but especially the #scotus . Here’s my B4 & after fundie, Gothardesque pic. #iGotOut

  10. The #ShinyHappyPeople docuseries on Prime is a really good primer on #ChristianNationalism in general, which spans beyond Bill Gothard. I highly recommend it if you can stomach the content. It really helps make clear the scope of this thing that’s happening to America right now. It makes all this *motions around* make so much more sense. And makes it a lot more terrifying.

  11. At the end of the docuseries, there’s a montage of all the ex- #IBLP TikTokers and that hit me really hard. Given that there’s a similar thriving TikTok community for #exmormons, and I was a part of it for a few months in 2021 making videos. Emotions.

    There were also thriving #exvangelical and deconstructing Christianity communities there with a lot of cross pollination.

    (And now I know EXACTLY why Montana is trying to ban Tiktok.)

  12. Relatable quote from #ShinyHappyPeople that doesn’t just apply to fundamentalism and cults.

    “We had this power the entire time over the people who were hurting us. It turns out, as much as they tried to control us, we were ultimately what they most feared, and all we had to do was talk.”

  13. The reason fundamentalist fathers are so restrictive and protective of their daughters is because they’re afraid other men will treat their daughters the same way they have treated other women.

  14. The beneficiaries of this system are those higher on the hierarchical ladder who have examined these ideals and do not believe the rules apply to them. They believe they are special. For them, easy pleasure and even pleasure at the expense of others is morally acceptable, even desirable. They need to prevent those they control from having access to pleasure and relief from trauma symptoms as a means of control. And they are in positions to influence culture. This is what drives #AbuseCulture. #IBLP #ShinyHappyPeople

  15. CW: CW: Duggar documentary

    I'm at the "they had their own militia" stage of the #IBLP documentary. #ShinyHappyPeople it's wild but really unsurprising.
