Us + religion = disappointment(squared)

from Pissy But Pretty

Hold on to your sippy cups, because Heather and Emily are back with tales that'll make your jaw drop (and possibly grab a tissue... or five). We're taking the plunge into a convo about the hits and misses of religious upbringing and how it shaped these two former wild child extraordinaires. Spoiler alert: It's not all sunshine and Sunday School.Heather and Emily peel back the layers of their past experiences, talking candidly about everything from impeccable church outfits to the gut-wrenching realities of growing up with strict spiritual doctrines. Did we mention they still managed to keep it hilariously real? Yeah, you're going to want to hear this.Ever wondered how much of your past really fuels today's insecurities or revelations? Buckle up for a raw, cheeky deep-dive that's as biting as it is eye-opening.Episode Highlights:06:43 - For me, raising a human being to be a decent human being, to be a kind human being, that is more important to me than if you can memorize a couple Bible verses and  when it's so shoved down your throat. I'm telling you, when I moved back in with my parents, when I was 21, it did not matter how hungover I was on a Sunday or what time I got home. I was up, and I was going to church, no matter what. 14:59 - Maybe like if there is no God, I'm still cool with it. For me, like when people tell me they don't believe in God, like nothing happens to you when you're dead, that might be the case. For me, I wanna believe that I'm gonna see my loved ones again one day. That's what makes me happy, and if not, I'm dead, so I won't know the difference.19:47 - We didn't call church. We went to the Kingdom Hall 3 times a week for meetings, is what they called it–Tuesdays, Thursdays, Sundays–and it was obvious that there was a problem, but that's Emily being Emily. He lied to me and told me that they all knew what he did, and they forgave him. They don't want to talk about it. They all know that I'm promiscuous, and I wear low-cut shirts sometimes in front of him, and I tempted him.Disclaimer:Pissy but Pretty is all about real talk—raw, unfiltered, and sometimes messy.
