Boring stupid shit that no one would care about. It's this leadership training program that they can only send a certain number of people to from each fellowship, so no one's supposed to talk about it so people don't get jealous, so people learn to keep some things from others who aren't "spiritual" enough to grasp it yet, so people learn not to display emotion because we're all supposed to be nice little drones, so House can pretend they're not a cult of people who teach ridiculous bullshit as though it's biblical truth

Black sheep? Why? Because they don't believe the baptism bullshit? That's cool that they're not succombing to the other sheep. House sucks. It turns real people into mindless robots. When I was going there, it seemed like either people stay and conform, or they leave and go waaaayyy in the opposite direction and go crazy with a destructive lifestyle because they were so repressed for so long that they beeline in the opposite direction...I'm glad that neither happened to Becki and Budd. Sarah Phillips talked to me and found out I'm living with my boyfriend and told me this cautionary tale about how Kristen left House and school and moved to Lansing for a boy and it didn't work out and blah blah blah...it irritated me

I was thinking that was the case, but the overachieving college student in me is annoyed with myself that I don't want to do exhaustive study of every other religion on the planet before I read the next chapter. Does that make sense? I spent all of my college years cramming every ounce of knowledge into my brain that I could, and now without a professor to tell me I have to study X, Y, and Z I feel lazy if I don't do it.
I remember reading somewhere recently that wine in Time O' Jesus actually had a higher alcohol content than it does today, which was why it was usually mixed with water before it was served. I'll see if I can find the link.
On a related note, thecherrywench is right. As far as Marian Green goes, the nice thing about books is that if you move onto the next chapter and then go, "wait, I wish I knew more about X religion(s)," you can always go back.
As for Wiccans, well...I'm not. I'm not even neo-Wiccan. And it took me a long time to realize I didn't want to call myself either of those, and that that was okay. Took me even longer to realize I wasn't obligated to explain my religious beliefs to anybody or even have a name for them. Still working on that one a bit.
Apparently, being a Lesbian is wrong (and evil and gross and they'd always say "eeewww" and the like when referencing Lesbians), but cuddling with your friends who are girls is ok as long as you are only cuddling with them because you like hugging and touching but you can't do that with your boyfriend because it causes him to think about sex and that's wrong
