So for the rest of this day, I’ll be getting texts from 17 other people responding to this prayer request.

Edit: Other than the initial flurry of hearts and replies pictured below, it’s actually been pretty quiet, thank goodness.

    well, any converts are also exploited. but mostly, its the missionary being exploited. Frequently the “good works” jobs are labor for companies assotiated with the group, or for “donations”. Then there’s the rejection by people who are annoyed at getting woken up at 7am on a weekend (or 10 am, because one works nights,) which generally drives people into further solidarity. (“the world is mean, don’t fuck our group up. OBEY.” is the message here)

    as for how it’s exploitive of converts, tithes, and the general exploitation involved, yeah?
