XD I especially enjoy the parts of history that are more morbid, haha, guillotines fit the bill very well.<br /><br />Yeah, you're right, the cult is ridiculous. They pick on everything to make you think that you're wrong, which is the point. Zinfandel is the most brainwashed out of the three teenagers.<br /><br />And what about reproduction?<br />It's covered in another chapter. Just an FYI, this story builds. So if you have questions about something, it'll usually be answered in the next chapter or two. LOL. It's just the way that I write, it keeps the readers guessing, and interested to read more.<br />However, because they are teenagers, the rules of this cult say they don't want teenagers to engage in sex. They only allow adults, meaning people 18 and older, to have sex, which was briefly mentioned in one of the classes in an earlier chapter, when the teacher says "Intimacy (aka sex) is only allowed for adults.". So yeah, the teenagers are expected to be asexual.LateKnightSimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641353218072486154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-31631807818848977892015-01-27T18:00:05.086-08:002015-01-27T18:00:05.086-08:00And what about reproduction?

Sex= population...What's on someones mind is none of their business and I doubt Zinfandel was even thinking that way anyways. littlesims2chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12688461785560031787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-78896559314404183442015-01-27T17:57:39.449-08:002015-01-27T17:57:39.449-08:00"The tray makes a clicking sound and the pane...

I hate history but I loved that line <3 ...Makes me think about the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution...Power to the people! But not in this case scenario lol<br /><br />The leader is a very odd man...Zinfandel could've easily refuted their ridiculous claims but I guess she was too brain-washed to even realize it :( How can they know whats on her mind? They're just absolutely sick, this is nothing more than a mind game at this point. Anyone can just accuse someone of thinking impure thoughts...It's kind of ridiculous.<br /><br />littlesims2chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12688461785560031787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-19530739401050162662013-12-31T14:08:23.625-08:002013-12-31T14:08:23.625-08:00Thanks!

I used to get scolded a lot for "being angry" because of certain things I said that sounded angry. *rolls eyes*<br />Zinfandel is a type of wine, so I got it off looking at alcohol bottles. XD<br /><br />Thanks so much for reading and leaving me all these comments! :) I loved reading them all.LateKnightSimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641353218072486154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-78446894560490378262013-12-31T11:38:41.926-08:002013-12-31T11:38:41.926-08:00Oh my!

The Compound wants to instill its values and beliefs on the people growing up there, so they teach them on the grounds. Letting them go out and be taught by the public schools is never something The Compound would want. You can't brainwash someone easily without repeating your ideas to them constantly, and refusing to let new ideas in..<br /><br />Zinfandel is brainwashed, and she is not 100% sure she didn't do anything wrong. As she mentioned earlier, she likes to follow the rules. Logically, in her mind, Isolation is for people who don't follow the rules. She hates the fact that she broke a rule, even if she may not understand completely how she broke the rule. She won't change her perspective on The Leader because she's convinced he's always right. That's what happens when people get brainwashed.LateKnightSimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641353218072486154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-20083364873405600982013-10-18T02:50:47.921-07:002013-10-18T02:50:47.921-07:00These are the reasons homeschooling isn't good...These are the reasons homeschooling isn't good. No one ever sees the kid. If they had to go to public school, they would see differently. But then the Compound might forbid them to go to school anyway, and deny the existence of the teens and any other children there. Very sick. I hope Zinfandel makes it out. Maybe this will give her a new, not so supportive, perspective on Mr. Leader and the ways of the facility. She knows she didn't do anything wrong.Zhippidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12570869365967598793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-9938177420240998292013-03-26T18:43:24.554-07:002013-03-26T18:43:24.554-07:00Yes. :D You got lucky that this chapter was posted...Yes. :D You got lucky that this chapter was posted already.

I'd love it if her stint in isolation causes her to questio the leader, but it could just as easily cement her further into the cult think.yangthecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083940950118677312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-33359265481498425992013-03-19T10:29:21.524-07:002013-03-19T10:29:21.524-07:00Yeah, the thought stalking is ridiculous.

I was always being told that I couldn't hang out with boys alone because doing that causes you to automatically fall in love with them. Then they thought that the boy was only thinking about sex. So everyone was 'encouraged' (I hate that word) to hang out with the opposite sex in large groups so that no one would be tempted by each other. It was dumb because a vast majority of the boys in that place I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, I just liked playing video games, which was a more male dominated activity.LateKnightSimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641353218072486154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-91781699009547294052013-03-19T08:17:06.449-07:002013-03-19T08:17:06.449-07:00Jeez, it seems as if you can't even have a mom...Jeez, it seems as if you can't even have a moment of thought to yourself without someone questioning if it's a pure one or not!
