Birthdays

from Cult Hackers Hosted by whatshouldithinkabout

As it's Stephen's birthday today , 'birthdays' is the theme of this week's chat. As a Jehovah's Witness child, birthday celebrations were something alien to Stephen and so Celine and her dad try to work out why JWs really don't celebrate them. Stephen finds a paper that provides some of the history and the sociological context and he then demonstrates his slow decent into grumpy old man by having a rant about Discord, mid life crises and MAMILs. Paper discussed: Shoham, H. (2021). It is about time: Birthdays as modern rites of temporality. Time & Society, 30(1), 78-99. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/0961463X20955094 Become a patron for early and exclusive content for just $1:50 per month - our only tier of support. https://www.patreon.com/whatshouldithinkabout/posts
