Hi all

As the last thread has all but totally filled up, I've started this new one.

Bit shallow - but do you think the Wives are allowed cosmetics? I got the impression that make up is banned but they do all look very polished.

Was that in the book?

AdalindSchade · 30/07/2017 22:35

The girls raised by wives will be wives. I don't know where future handmaids will come from. Current handmaids are picked from the fertile women who have 'sinned' so no they wouldn't raise the girls just to be handmaids. They are the upper class.

Was it pink Hannah was wearing? If so that seems a precursor to red. The children shown to the Mexican delegation were wearing yellow if I remember rightly.

MrsPussinBoots · 30/07/2017 22:36

Pinot me too. That's affected more than anything else. So evil. I think it's affected me more because I recently read an article about the current Yazidi genocide by Is. children being tortured to death in front of their mothers. That could be Hannah.

AdalindSchade · 30/07/2017 22:36

True. Maybe the current daughters of handmaids will also be raised to be handmaids but that doesn't fit their ideology really.

Indigo,Serena gives June a photo of Hannah to bribe her into having a baby with Nick.

Oh God can't watch this and eat tortilla chips at all.....

InigoTaran · 30/07/2017 22:39

I can't watch!

QueenieGoldstein · 30/07/2017 22:40

Losing a hand? I'm betting there's a scripture for that.

Batteredoldchesterfield · 30/07/2017 22:40

Oh! Physical punishment on a man??

AdalindSchade · 30/07/2017 22:41

Omg can't watch that

QueenieGoldstein · 30/07/2017 22:41

Matthew 5:30

And if your handeven your stronger handcauses you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

Seems I was right

Moogletea · 30/07/2017 22:43

This is all so harrowing tonight

Fantastictwistsand · 30/07/2017 22:46

She made it out!

QueenieGoldstein · 30/07/2017 22:48

Moria is so overwhelmed. Do you think she'll find Luke?

paddypants13 · 30/07/2017 22:48

The notes from the other handmaids. Sad I could cry.

I am glad Offred called Serena those names, she deserves it.

InigoTaran · 30/07/2017 22:50

Oh Moira looks so sad at being treated so kindly Sad

QueenieGoldstein · 30/07/2017 22:50

What was she supposed to do with the package? Surely they won't be any use on her floor?

Travelledtheworld · 30/07/2017 22:50

Sorry I was momentarily distracted ( by the CFN built door into garden thread).
Were the notes in the package Moira sent to her ?

BonjourMinou · 30/07/2017 22:51

Moirai does look overwhelmed. I'm glad she made it out. I think she'll find Luke and they'll hatch some sort of a plan to save June and Hannah

AdalindSchade · 30/07/2017 22:51

I guess the resistance were going to try to smuggle the notes out to Canada or somewhere
She'll have a job packaging them up again

BonjourMinou · 30/07/2017 22:52

Yes the notes were in the package

QueenieGoldstein · 30/07/2017 22:52

Please not Janine...

InigoTaran · 30/07/2017 22:53

Are they going to stone Janine?!!Shock

LostGarden · 30/07/2017 22:54

Oh no!
