I bet DAs just love dropping murder charges down to manslaughter for killing people. I wonder what the actual story here was.

No, not at all. There's plenty of people posting tons of videos with zero dancing

But if you want the likes and comments and the views, you better dance your heart out.

I'm all for grieving in whatever way works for people, but she has a video where she explains that she dances because she's finally got to a point in her life where she is happy, has re-married, had another kid etc.

Which is all well and good, but her entire Tiktok persona is "the singing widow" who dances while talking about her dead ex-husband constantly. Seems super loving unhealthy.

Yeah, I feel like in a past era should would have found some creative outlet for this, maybe a scrapbook or whatever, and the "reward" for doing so would be a sense of closure, a feeling of satisfaction, whatever. Whereas now she gets to watch her numbers go up with every video and suddenly she is incentivised to re-live it over and over again.

Fair enough if it works for her, but if I was her new husband I'd be a little bit concerned that her entire internet identity is dancing about her dead ex-husband.

In the past there would've been dances, potlucks, quilting bees, concerts, sports events, holiday celebrations, picnics, solemn commemorations, all these very public events in her community that she could show off in, and dance out her grief, rather than the empty 21st century pleasure of making videos for strangers on the internet

Does it have to be King James specifically? I would think that if you were to deploy any kind of holy text as a sigil against harm you'd want the material used to be as close to the original as possible

King James Version has a special spot in the brainworms of hardcore zealots

like famously Jack Chick insisted that it was the only true version and all others had been tampered with by the devil

There's a weird faction in american protestantism that believes that the King James bible was either directly dictated by god or at least divinely inspired somehow.

For these people it's just another fact of the religion, like Noah's flood or Jesus' resurrection, that the KJV is a perfect translation of the Bible.

The KJV was a pretty massive undertaking and pretty good for its time but I think the main thing to note about it is that it had a wealth of influence on English culture and literature and I can’t imagine that isn’t really at the heart of it — it’s not about the scripture but about the glory of Western Civilization

when i was still deliberately getting into internet arguments on religion, there was one guy i'd butt heads with pretty regularly who insisted that the KJV was the only "correct" bible because it said "Authorized Version" right there on it.

no amount of pointing out that this meant "authorized for use in the church of england" ever got through.
