Make a choice based on their own conscience or common sense rather than a 2000+ year old book written in an English that is hard to understand in modern times.

Choose their own spouse (rather than one 'recommended' by their father). Go on actual dates rather than pseudo ones with a bunch of chaperones. Engage in any sexual position other than missionary, including oral sex. Masturbate. Watch a sporting event eg the Olympics, World Cup (soccer/football) or Super Bowl. Read any kind of fiction book like Harry Potter or Twilight or Game of Thrones or anything that isn't something ultimately Christianity based. Have friends who have different beliefs to them. Learn about any other religion. Listen to any classic songs e.g. Beatles, Rolling Stones, etc.

I find it so sad that these people are missing out on huge swathes of cultural history that have had a major impact. I can't thank my parents enough for introducing me to some of my favourite songs/comedians *cough cough* Monty Python *cough cough*.

[Maggie Mae]

Set a personal goal and complete it. They will never have the ability to have personal growth. When they like something (playing an instrument, organized sports) it gets taken away for being an idol.

They are unable to just a have age appropriate conversations with friends about the future, death, aliens, science, dystopias, love, sex, football, who likes who at school or what they want to be when they grow up.

They will never experience what it feels like to get so engrossed in a movie or book that you just can't put it down and subsequently forgo hygiene and eating.. They've been trained to find entertainment as evil.

My workplace is on shutdown for a week and I am on a staycation and thus far this morning I have

1) Slept in

2) Lounged around in PJs for the past 2 hours reading what I want to on the internet while trying to decide what to do today

3) Decided rather than do something productive like clean my apartment, I'm going to do something frivolous and take a trip to the outlet mall and look for some bargains.

So thus far in a few short hours I have done three things no Maxwell woman will ever be able to do.
