Definitely one of the most provocative topics I've written about... but it is absolutely ESSENTIAL reading if you are a truth-seeker and curious about Jesus. https://jesusrewritten.substack.com/p/5-historical-reasons-christianitys

Topic
Religion — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 14 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 97% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

Engagement
20 posts held, back to 3 June 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 3 pages of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 4 August 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

I forgave what others considered “unforgivable”— because I wanted to heal what others considered “impossible.” And you know what? It worked! In this episode of the TRUTH ACTIVIST podcast, I discuss: • Why forgiveness is not a moral imperative • How the exact same events create victims or heroes • What moving away from blame actually looks like Listen here on: Spotify https://laurengeertsen.com/podcast-spotify App…

I watched an interview in which a popular “narcissism expert” told a pseudo-spiritual podcaster that it’s impossible to fully heal after narcissistic abuse. I have to say this again: do NOT listen to the experts. I’ve experienced psychopathic abuse that brought me to the brink of sanity. I also grew up with a narcissistic parent—a trauma that shattered my health and imprinted my psyche on the deepest level. But I…

New TRUTH ACIVIST podcast episode out today! This is for anyone who has experienced narcissistic or psychopathic abuse. When I escaped a psychopathic relationship, I was told, "That kind of trauma scars a person for life, and will forever impact you." My soul recognized that as a lie. With enough courage, you can heal better and brighter than you broke ✨ In this episode, I share 5 steps to do so! https://laurenge…
After a sudden mystical awakening at age 21, I began to recognize the startling discrepency between love and the God presented by Christianity. In my book Jesus Rewritten, I posit that a more accurate understanding of God requires a rational and consistent understanding of love. https://jesusrewritten.substack.com/p/what-is-love-this-question-unraveled
A 10-year deep dive into Christianity’s hidden history, lost gospels and theological plot holes made me realize this religion didn’t come from Jesus. In my book Jesus Rewritten, I go in-depth into the politican and financial influences that rewrote Jesus’ life and teachings. Here’s a brief glance at the book burning and persecution that silenced Jesus’ earliest followers. https://jesusrewritten.substack.com/p/here…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @lauren_geertsen. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

Channels on the register whose posts this channel has forwarded.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
