Communication doesn't always have to be so Zen and perfect.

What do you like about going to church anyway? Is it that a man is getting listened to with rapturous attention?

Maybe some people would benefit if they could figure out how to make cookies and have spirited discussions with people about some things. Work on a craft while arguing over something. And stop being addicted to praise.

Stop expecting women to be the ones praising the men all the time; that happens all the time. 

Did you not get enough in church?

By the way, somebody wanted to violently physically f****** hit me just because I stood up in the balcony at the back of the church pretending to read something to somebody else at a lecturn.

Somebody who was an adult, who should have known better, but she got really bad, brutal, misogynistic belief systems indoctrinated in her at a young age, and she thought it was incredibly sinful for girls to even want to be that kind of a person.

I.e a pastor in front of a church. 

I wasn't even at the front. I was in the balcony; at the back! And nobody else was there, except for the three of us! 

Nevertheless, I saw the violence. The violence wanted to come out!

That was a special place to experience.

Eat eat. 

Drink drink.

Digest digest.

Eliminate eliminate.
