Found the Catholic.

June is nothing if not a skilled manipulator.

Scientology gets a lot of bad press, but it’s no different from Catholicism, or Judaism, or Muslim, or Buddhism.  Come on.

Yeah, I had a thought about that. This guy seems way old and demented. I have to find it hard to believe he would be capable of arranging “rape parties” with his wife. I was thinking the girl was just a psycho.

Yeah, but it’s a capitalist cult, and voluntary to boot.

Stargate SG1 is an incredible show.  I’m up to the final season.

I don’t know what the writer is talking about. Harold was an integral part of the book.

This is absolutely psychotic, all of this, and nobody seems to care.

What am I talking about? What are you talking about? Yeesh!

Oh, but they might be writing revolutionary texts...why this unconditional trust in one subset of females?  Have these women been programmed not to rebel or defy instruction?  If they have, why not program all the females?  Commander wives are higher up on the food chain, and they’re not permitted to read.

Maybe that’s your interpretation...  My interpretation was that this is an analogy for Nazi Germany.

My wife and I worked on our baby for three solid years.  Fertility is dependent on ovulation, which can last up to two weeks.  Again, most of the Marthas do not look as though they’re old enough to be menopausal.

How would they able to ascertain that? Particularly since they seem to take a backward view of science and medicine.  Many of these Marthas look very young.

Believe me, the irony of setting up your fascist dictatorship to fail from jump-street was not lost on me, but (I have to assume) these 52 children represented but one small sector of Gilead. They might have gotten under Gilead’s skin, but this was hardly a dent in their armor.
