daughters of Frya has blown my mind

[Nimbostratus100]

I came across this yesterday on another thread. I just cant take this in, This is just so alien to me that I just cant get my head round people choosing to live like this, It isn't anything to do with belief, that I am struggling with, its the life.

(1) Abstain from meat products, intoxicants, orgasm and sex. (2) Bend knees in worship for six hours every day. (3) Wear a short, white tunic at all times.

I dont want to be disrespectful, but I just feel stunned. Its the 6 hours a day curtseying thousands of times. No way could I do that. I might stick to it for 2 days maybe, then I would be finding short cuts, then I would be promising the others I had already done it...

I cant believe anyone does this for any length of time. And I am sure it would destroy your knees.

I wonder what makes anyone join a group like this, and how long people stay?

It’s 6 hours a day on your knees! Staring into the eternal flame. I’m sure you’ll get a cushion or something. I suspect membership is pretty low/ nearly non-existent.

I’m binge watching vikings so kind of get the worship of Freya thing but they have a lot more sex than this lot.

I'm guessing this is some made up cult done for a laugh? Those young women on the photos look very robust for people living a life of vegetarian, knee bending, piety.

Get up at 6am and your knee bending is done by 11am, rest of the day is your own. Or split it and do 6am to 9am then 6pm to 9pm.

Can you do the knee bending while reading or studying for the responsibilities of priestesshood? An all-female House of Commons might not be such a bad idea. There would definitely be fewer corruption scandals.

Great hairstyle though.

It's a weird hoax, and one that's been around for a while.

Archived Livejournal page from 2006 about it - https://archive.is/Za5JE

Someone in 2010 falsely claiming to be a member who wants to escape the 'cult' - https://forum.culteducation.com/read.php?12,92440,page=1

It's definitely a hoax! I posted the links to prove it but my comment with them in was automatically hidden. Hopefully this one will work.

Why not just keep posting about this on the previous thread?

I won't bother commenting in detail, since it's all been rehashed a thousand times. Most of the negative publicity against us stems from a single Neo-Nazi blog, endlessly repeated online over many years.

so do you do six hours a day bending your knees up and down thousands of times? If so, how long have you done that for? And how long does it take to be left with damaged knees?

it has never been rehashed on Mumsnet

The bent knees seems a bit much, the rest of it? Meh

I don't see where you're getting that they bend and unbend their knees repeatedly. Is there another source you haven't posted?

It is something I read while I was googling yesterday. I dont know if it is true or not, supposedly comes from their old website. But then I dont know if any of this is true or not. My gut say surely not!

Perform 1,200 deep knee-bends every day in devotion ... Bend their knees for six seconds, chanting Wr-alda, until on their haunches ... Remain in this posture for six seconds ... Unbend their knees for six seconds ... until standing again ... They repeat these actions immediately, and continue doing so for the full three hours (i.e. 600 times) ... The second daily session is identical, making a total of 1,200 deep knee-bends each day.

It has to be a hoax, doesn't it. It has to be

It's very similar to squats.

I've been a member for 21 years, since I was 20.

The Sachengruss is not remotely similar to squatting.
