This week, we react to TikTok comments from former fundie and IFB listeners sharing the surprisingly ordinary things they were taught were dangerous, sinful, or “gateways to hell” growing up. From Harry Potter and Halloween to roller skating, public school, and saying “oh my gosh,” we unpack the fear, control, and shame that shaped so many of our childhood experiences.
The conversation also turns more personal as Vikki shares a piece of her own story and reflects on what happens when abuse, grooming, and institutional failure are minimized or rewritten to protect reputations instead of people. We talk about deconstruction, questioning harmful systems, and why telling the truth—even years later—still matters.
Content warning: discussion of grooming, sexual abuse, institutional abuse, child abuse, victim blaming, mental health, coercive control, and strong language.
