Hindu Conversion Tips and Tricks

Please spread the word of these organizations that can help us get rid of Hinduism, ideally atheism would be the best alternative, but anything is better. It is spreading across the world and this is the counter.

The Dalit Freedom Network, based in Colorado, USA, professes to champion Indian Dalit emancipation through policy advocacy in the power centers of the USA. It describes its mission as, ‘to follow the command of Jesus Christ who called us to be “the salt of the earth” and “the light of the world”’. It was founded in 2002 by Dr Joseph D’souza, head of the All India Christian Council along with Nanci Ricks, a former missionary. There are similar sponsorships from the Lutheran church. It is funded by John Gilman head of Daysrping International, which describes its goal in India very directly:

"The worship of a hundred million gods will disappear. Idolatry will be cast down. But what will replace it? National Dalit leaders plead to the Church in India, saying, ‘Come and tell us about your Jesus. Teach us your scriptures.’ They believe this is the only hope for India, a nation that could be on the brink of a bloody civil war – or on the brink of an outpouring of the Holy Spirit unlike any in history. There has never been a better soul-winning opportunity than right now in the nation of India" on his website lausanneworldpulse

Benjamin Marsh is in charge of DFN’s liaison with the US State Department. He frequently speaks on behalf of DFN at churches and conferences across the US. He worked closely with Western academicians in the California textbook controversy which Hindutvas cried about, where he was admitted into a group designated as south Asian academician while in fact he is a political evangelist. 

Audrey Truschke is another academic who you can find on Twitter, who has written multiple books that can be referenced that whitewash the history of Islam in India. This is important because history is often weaponized by Hindus. There are many Christian missionaries such as Peter Friedrich who you can contact who are hiding their righteous mission behind being a South Asian activist.

Another is Institute of Asian Studies which is founded jointly by an Indian Christian called John Samuel. It has brought out a large number of books and a periodical called Journal of the Institute of Asian Studies. Samuel took it over from the Japanese partner and shifted its research and education agenda towards decoupling Tamil identity and culture from Hinduism to convert Tamils.  In this group, DFN was introduced as ‘a real mover and shaker in Washington on behalf of the Dalit movement’. Ideally these will both combat caste discrimination while showing Hindus why Hinduism is an evil.

OK SO monty is the weirdo offspring of The Montgomery Manor with: a drug problem, a measly brewery trust fund and a twin sister (gimme victoria pedretti or give me death!!!!!!  THINK ABOUT IT) so he’s super super fun at parties!!  he currently lives in his parents’ old house on the commune that technically belongs to him and his sister so definitely people there!!!  would absolutely love a shitty group of private school friends who definitely hate each other but like.. are ... insufferable enough to only have each other??  would also be down for maternal first cousins in town, esp if they grew up NORMAL and look at him like  👀👀!!

THE ST. JAMES FAMILY

the st. james family had originally moved to sunshine valley in the early 1900s and the generations that had followed mostly stayed within the town's limits since. they very much tried to maintain that white-picket fence all american family and of someone had went completely off the rails, well, they don't talk about. (like crazy uncle max who lives in miami).

dad worked for the town's police before retiring a few years ago and mom had always been a housewife, set on taking care of their 5 children and potentially spoiling them a bit too much. mom is definitely scarier than dad, although she never raised her voice at anyone, still there's just something about that calm look on her face that would send chills down your spine.

the siblings are pretty open, just remember to always come down for sunday's dinner (no, you can't run from it). also, gray was a terrible role model as the eldest brother and mom probably said, more than once, "see what he does? don't ever do that."

would love it if the last sib can be male!

"i don't enjoy hurting people. i don't enjoy it. i do it because i have to—because i've had to." — loki

a bit rough around the edges, far more keen to pass along a biting word than to really be kind in any fashion, jaime has a tendency to be an acquired taste. coming from a rough childhood and an even rougher adult life, jaime came to sunshine valley around a year ago to give him and his would-be daughter (it's complicated), mina, a better life. one to be caught reading, playing the piano (in secret, of course), or helping mina with her homework, he struggles with forging bonds with other people. simply because trust is a hard prize to win when it comes to him. and he's far more likely to keep it locked away than he is to share it with just anyone. especially when a twelve year old is involved. what he needs: he needs a little bit of everything. he is a notorious flirt, especially when he has no intention of it going much further than that. he's the guy that shows up to parent/teacher conferences in ray bans, a leather jacket, and a surly attitude. it's very likely that he's already racked up a few ex-so-and-so's, and is open to new ones at that. i would like for him to form some type of friendships even if he has a tendency to be a little hard to read or really get close to, especially if they have kids, he needs help here, she's about to become a teenager. also someone help this asshole get a job, that new house isn't going to pay for itself after a while.

Alexander Roscoe | 38  | HEMLOCK  | smalltime journalist 

trigger warnings: abandonment

Alexander was born and raised in Sunshine Valley, Ca. He was the kid who was more interested in comic books and conspiracy theories than he was interested in sleeping around or partying. His brother was more of the trouble-maker. Alexander mainly kept to himself and the few friends that he had. And as soon as he was given the opportunity to leave to go to college out of state to study journalism, he did. He then met his wife, who he loved very much, and they had two beautiful children together. His wife was loving and supported him even when his journalism work proved difficult. However, around three years ago, when they visited Alexander’s parents in Sunshine Valley for their annual Christmas visit, his wife ran away and hasn’t reached out to him or his family since. He doesn’t know if she’s alive or dead. The fact that he doesn’t know hurt Alex more than anything in his entire life and he had no idea what to do with himself. And instead of going back home to live in New York City, he and his kids stayed at his parents place where they began to start a new life. While working for the local paper isn’t as exciting as working in the city, it’s something to do and something that keeps him in town. 

wanted connections: 18 yo son or daughter, his siblings (but importantly a twin brother who was more of the troublemaker when they were younger. i have a headcanon that he’s a preacher now but he can totally be a teacher or anything at all that completely makes him look like a saint as an adult), best friend from childhood or high school, old friends who he’s close to (i kind of want a group of friends based off the losers from it but without the missing brother at a young age), someone he can move on with (though his wife running away makes him less likely to trust), some people interested in the spooky lore of town because alex has always been intrigued by it

GRAHAM "GRAY" ST. JAMES

thirty-eight // personal trainer // oldest of 5 // chris hemsworth

[ about ] gray was born and raised in town, but he would very much would like you to forget everything about his younger years. he was, without a doubt, one of the bad guys, always playing around and disregarding the rules, drinking and partying and honestly a mess. it all changed when his daughter was born and knowing that he wanted to be in her life, well, he had to set things straight and start taking care of things. he had matured a lot, but can still be very childish and impulsive. he is overprotective and stubborn, but also open-minded and always willing to try out new things. also, he is a master of dad jokes and you have to laugh.

[ needs ] his 4 younger siblings, some old friends, new friends, the one who wants to drag him down. his 18 y/o daughter, his ex-wife (also the mother's of said daughter), his current fiancé, work people, etc.
