I watched Don’t F with cats and I was shocked what people can do for a little clout.
I grew up in a cult but not as severe as that church from Keep Sweet. My former religion is strict but no Polygamy. The only thing I hate is going to church have attendance and if you miss church, You will talk to the pastor. Oh the Admin of the Church also chooses who people should vote for during elections and they always vote for the worst.
I like crime movies and series but those based on real storys creep me out. When I watch it and some time later, I think how those things could happend to me.
I simply love documentaries. I think it’s because they are based on a true story. I never knew of such a list, I’ll look up what to watch this afternoon. They sound very chilling to the bone because they already seem very scary. I love acting like a detective with my popcorn in hand, trying to solve all the mysteries. I love the adrenaline rush after watching such cases.
