[theres-whump-in-that-nebula]

I just had a visceral flashback regarding an assignment in psychology class back in 11th grade, where we had to draw a representation of a mental illness on a 3x5 card. I did mine on Stockholm syndrome, and parodied the formatting of 1990s — 2000s Watchtower front covers (“Stockholm Syndrome, What is it?”) and drew a detailed political cartoon of Caleb and Sofia dreamily hugging a maniacal Steven Lett, who was holding marionette controllers, attached to their limbs. I’m not sure if I still have it somewhere, if it was destroyed in The Great Bookburning of 2019, or if my psych teacher has it… but I can picture it in my head and it‘s positively revolting (I had purposefully drawn the expressions to make it look as menacing, and borderline p***phillic as I possibly could without getting myself referred to the school counselor; because I was freshly deconverted and VERY pissed off, that’s why).

I also parodied the JW tracts (destroyed), as well as the business cards (intact; she asked me if she could keep that one and I agreed… I should’ve given her all of them (she wanted the others too). At least she’d enjoy them and not bash me for expressing myself). Every single one of them was copied to the letter, with fake QR codes on the back and everything. The business card was an advertisement for therapy (we were studying the different techniques and identifying them); I specialized my “practice” for cult trauma. And then the tract was an assignment where we had to make a trifold pamphlet for something… maybe the five stages of grief??? I think it was something like that.

#I kind of want to recreate all of them Jeremiah the Prophet style 👀 #One good thing about me is I can recreate things I made within 78% accuracy so long as I have a mental image of them #And I have a mental image of all these things #exjw #ex cult #apostate

Top Left: Icon of the Prophet Isaiah Top Right: Icon of the Prophet Jeremiah Bottom: The Death of King Josiah

The person responsible for seven books of the Bible […] deliberately designed his history of the people to culminate in [King] Josiah. Josiah was not just good, and he was not just important. In the writer's picture, Josiah, in many ways, was someone to be compared to Moses himself. [... T]he Deuteronomistic historian paints Josiah in special colors - Mosaic colors. He is the culmination of that which began with Moses. His actions in his day emulate Moses' actions in his own day. He is the hope that the covenant that began with Moses will be fulfilled as never before. [...] All of the Deuteronomist's major themes —fidelity, torah, centralization, Davidic covenant— culminated in Josiah. And then Josiah died from an Egyptian arrow.

- Richard Elliot Friedman (Who Wrote the Bible?, pages 94-95, 97, 116). Bolded emphases added.

Psalm 72 gives a description of the perfect king of Israel. He would be someone who was filled with wisdom like Solomon, as well as being a great warrior who could enlarge the boundaries of Israel from sea to sea, one of David's accomplishments. He would also guarantee justice in the land, especially to the poor. [...] None of the kings of Israel would fulfill all of these expectations. Every time that the prophets spoke of a king whom they hoped would finally do the will of the LORD, they ended up being disillusioned. Thus, they began to speak about an anointed one in the future who would be unlike all the other kings of Israel.

- Rev. Jude Winkler, O.F.M. Conv.'s commentary on Psalm 72

In any case, we should still note that the years between 722 and 587 were not unceasingly bleak. These were times of powerful persons and great events, of the rise and fall of great empires. This period included times of hope and vision, especially, it appears, during Hezekiah's and Josiah's reigns. These times produced an Isaiah, a Jeremiah, and an Ezekiel. Precisely in this age of empires in conflict, of rebellions, of violence, and of cruelty, a man conceived of an era when They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning-hooks. A nation will not raise a sword against a nation, and they will not learn war anymore.

Here's a Bible passage that the evangelicals overlook while they are hunting for stuff to blast gays and transgenders. There are many more like this, even in the Old Testament.

"Doom for the man who founds his palace on anything but integrity, his upstairs rooms on anything but honesty, who makes his fellow man work for nothing, without paying him his wages, who says 'I will build myself an imposing palace with spacious rooms upstairs', who pierces lights in it, panels it with cedar, and paints his room vermillion." Jeremiah 22: 13-14.

The Call of Jeremiah

These are the words of Jeremiah son of Hilkiah, one of the priests in Anathoth in the territory of Benjamin.

The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah in the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah, and through the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, until the fifth month of the eleventh year of Zedekiah son of Josiah king of Judah, when the people of Jerusalem went into exile.

The word of the LORD came to me, saying:

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

“Ah, Lord GOD,” I said, “I surely do not know how to speak, for I am only a child!”

But the LORD told me:

“Do not say, ‘I am only a child.’ For to everyone I send you, you must go, and all that I command you, you must speak. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you,” declares the LORD.

Then the LORD reached out His hand, touched my mouth, and said to me:

“Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. See, I have appointed you today over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and plant.”

And the word of the LORD came to me, asking, “Jeremiah, what do you see?”

“I see a branch of an almond tree,” I replied.

“You have observed correctly,” said the LORD, “for I am watching over My word to accomplish it.”

Again the word of the LORD came to me, asking, “What do you see?”

“I see a boiling pot,” I replied, “and it is tilting toward us from the north.”

Then the LORD said to me, “Disaster from the north will be poured out on all who live in the land. For I am about to summon all the clans and kingdoms of the north,” declares the LORD.

“Their kings will come and set up their thrones at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem. They will attack all her surrounding walls and all the other cities of Judah. I will pronounce My judgments against them for all their wickedness, because they have forsaken Me to burn incense to other gods and to worship the works of their own hands.

Get yourself ready. Stand up and tell them everything that I command you. Do not be intimidated by them, or I will terrify you before them. Now behold, this day I have made you like a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land. They will fight against you but will never overcome you, since I am with you to deliver you,” declares the LORD. — Jeremiah 1 | The Reader’s Bible (BRB) The Reader’s Bible © 2020 by Bible Hub and Berean.Bible.

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.

Why do the wicked prosper?

“You are always righteous, LORD,  when I bring a case before you.  Yet I would speak with you about your justice: 

Why does the way of the wicked prosper?  Why do all the faithless live at ease?  You have planted them, and they have taken root;  they grow and bear fruit.  You are always on their lips  but far from their hearts.” 

- Jeremiah 12:1-2 NIV (2011)
