There's a reason that DJT doesn't have pets. There's a reason that you don't see him in pictures with animals. Animals don't like him. Sometimes the best judge of character is a dog or a cat or a horse. 🐎

None of the times when I would call out leadership’s bad behavior went well. Didn’t matter if they were using funds personally or abetting child abuse. I was looked down on or called names. I would rather speak up every time about what’s not right than go with that flow.

Me and my grandparents went through the motions that winter, and it’s more questions and no answers. We loved our church community but knew that we were the only ones on the outside looking in. The book and author have had a cult following since then.

Being driven in your purpose is a great thing. But when you reach out for answers as to what that purpose should be, & you’re turned away - that’s disrespectful. The book curriculum never told us how to find what our purposes are. And I moved away, finding the book there, too.

I had not realized at that time that Christian churches are typically businesses. They saw something that was cost effective monetarily and the opposite of time consuming. All I could see was that the book had no answers. And anyone who said otherwise was foolish.

In my meetings with the church officials, I tried to explain my views and my concerns. They told me that I hadn’t read it thoroughly enough or prayed enough. I said that I actually had, which was why I was calling them out. They called me naive. And in one way, they were right.

Why were there sermons being regurgitated about it? Because mark my words - the pastors’ sincere-sounding words on a Sunday were echoed to the letter at other churches that I attended in other states. I was livid.

I didn’t understand it. Why was it written? Not only that, why was it a best seller? Not only that, why was this and other unaffiliated churches buying into the campaign for merchandising and providing the book to every member of the congregation? It felt like idolatry to me.

Gorgon Hermit 🍉 @starkitty14.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

I remember being extremely frustrated by the book, each chapter telling the reader that they were here for a purpose (hence the book title). And in my view, there was no substance to it. The book could have been a catchy quote, as there did not seem to be anything else to it.

Gorgon Hermit 🍉 @starkitty14.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

I’m not even sure why I had to bring it up at all, but my grandma was an avid reader and asked me to read it after my grandpa had. They had been looking for purpose and reason, for years - especially since my parents only asked them for money and didn’t care about anything else.

With mostly seniors on social security and new families that spent a fortune on childcare and commuted to work. This must have been 2004, 2005.. and I must have made appointments with each of the staff, one on one. Why did I do that? What was wrong?

Stupid memory jog today about a time when I questioned an entire church leadership team. It was the first time but not the last. They had spend lots of money on a campaign for a book called, “Purpose Driven Life.” This was a big deal, since it was a small community church…

America has experienced oligarchy thrice in its brief history. The first was under the slaveholding founders The second, the robber barons, a century later. A third American oligarchy emerged around 1980 — and has only gotten more powerful.

“Nothing turns her from her steadfast purpose of elevating herself.” — Page 130 of “Our Nig or, Sketches from the Life of a Free Black,” by Harriet E. Wilson I read this book in a day after thinking about it for years. It’s both devastating and important.

I’ve been reading The Hobbit to my son (9) every night for the last few weeks. We finished it last night. His verdict: “This is probably one of the best books I’ve ever read.”
