In October 1776, the Public Universal Friend contracted an epidemic disease and was bedridden and near death with a high fever. Their family summoned a doctor from Attleboro, six miles away, and neighbors kept up a death-watch at night. The fever broke after several days. The Friend later reported that [deadname redacted] had died, receiving revelations from God through two archangels who proclaimed there was "Room, Room, Room, in the many Mansions of eternal glory for Thee and for everyone". The Friend further said that [deadname redacted]'s soul had ascended to heaven and the body had been reanimated with a new spirit charged by God with preaching his word, that of the "Publick Universal Friend", describing that name in the words of Isaiah 62:2 as "a new name which the mouth of the Lord hath named".
From that time on, the Friend refused to answer to their deadname, ignoring or chastising those who insisted on using it. When visitors asked if it was the name of the person they were addressing, the Friend simply quoted Luke 23:3 ("thou sayest it"). Identifying as neither male nor female, the Friend asked not to be referred to with gendered pronouns. Followers respected these wishes; they referred only to "the Public Universal Friend" or short forms such as "the Friend" or "P.U.F.", and many avoided gender-specific pronouns even in private diaries. When someone asked if the Friend was male or female, the preacher replied "I am that I am", saying the same thing to a man who criticized the Friend's manner of dress (adding, in the latter case, "there is nothing indecent or improper in my dress or appearance; I am not accountable to mortals").
editorial note: I think this is a very cool story and I really love hearing it. We've been around forever and we've been doing variations of this forever. It's really beautiful

jungle boy and the young cucks are my least favourite part of aew right now. genuinely would sooner watch something with chris jericho
i just cannot care about jack perry in any capacity. he doesn't have any charisma and gives you literally no reason to care. nick and matt jackson are technically sound but they quickly wear out their welcome after every return
i wish chris jericho didn't stink now. he used to be one of my absolute favs and i hold a place in my heart for the man he used to be
jungle boy hasn't been good since he had a dinosaur tbh. doesn't even come out to baltimora any more
also his gimmick being "i drove away cm punk" and the young bucks going with "we're the reason the show is bad" are pretty questionable decisions
i miss luchasaurus
they say the best characters are real people turned up to 11
