Me, to james_huber:

I am going to hell.

I wouldn't say I'm actually *trolling* the Flylady Facebook page... ;-)

(my comments include "That's one of the reasons I decluttered God from my life. I was tired of always feeling spied on by someone who couldn't be bothered to save starving children or make people who wouldn't feel guilty for enjoying something that feels good and doesn't hurt anyone, like sex.")

[Context. I responded (it may be deleted soon), "No. We aren't ashamed of our porn, or love letters from old partners, or any of that stuff. It's stored away in our bedroom; if someone finds it, they're poking around for it, and they will see what they see." and one woman said something like "You can't hide from God. Secret sin is still sin."]

You think they'll delete it? I really love the idea of "declutter god from my life" - I guess I'll be right next to you in Flylady hell. Oh no - you clean the sink till it shines, you turn around and it's filthy again. clean, clean, clean but nothing lasts - kinda like real life. maybe we're in hell now . . . when i read the news headlines today it sort of feels like that! sarcastic lol

I suspected early on in life that hell was where you found the fun people. Looking forward to seeing you at the hell-party!

i have a box of books i don't want the social worker to ask me about under my bed, and i have a box labelled "open only after zombie apocalypse" in the basement full of ex-stuff, but that's because i'm the sort of person who sits around and rereads it and rereads it and rereads it and then makes weepy posts to lj. so, to the basement with it.

There is no god, but even if there was, those are really stupid ideas of sin.

I also wonder how many of those "you can't hide from god" people feel that way about concealing child abuse.

The flylady style never meshed with me, and the more I've heard about the G*d thing, the more grateful I am for that.

Yeah. Some of the things she teaches resonate with me and help me, but I'm not a devotee, and though I usually keep my mouth shut about it, this time her Facebook page *asked* us if we had thought about cleaning up things that we didn't want our moms or kids to see. Heh.

[aquaeri]

Yeah, I can see it being awkward when some of it is useful to you and some of it so very not.

I wish someone would make a godless, feminist, gender-nonconformist Flylady.

PS: I went and read the FB comments, and I'm finding myself pretty upset about the people who bragged that they destroyed everything related to their love life prior to meeting their spouse. I mean, of course people have a right to make their own decisions about how public they want their life to be, but I think they should consider whether their children might want to know about their past at some point.

My Mom had an important relationship in her college years, but I never learned about it until after she got dementia and forgot that she didn't talk to me about that stuff. My Dad recently mentioned that relationship as "the man Mom might have been engaged to." I was like "YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IF SHE WAS ENGAGED TO HIM?" Nope, she kept that secret until she had lost so much of her memory that I didn't know what was truth and what was made up.

Um, sorry for blatting all over your journal.
