In a heartfelt reflection, a woman who parades as @Xhose_jude on X has expressed regret over losing a friend to Christianity, attributing the conversion to societal pressure on marginalised women.
She expressed frustration at how society can push women to seek validation in structures she considers abusive, like certain religious institutions, instead of empowering themselves.

The woman highlighted the challenges faced by marginalized women, noting that it can feel easier to believe in the idea of a loving and choosing entity in a world that often shuns them.
She harped on the need for self-validation, which she believes society often undermines, making individuals doubt their own worth.

She advocated a shift towards self-empowerment, rejecting the notion of a higher power and asserting that individuals are the ultimate authority over their lives.
The X user also emphasized the need for self-definition of values, faith, and convictions.
Reflecting on her own past, she regretted not having the right words to empower her friend before she turned a Believer. She acknowledged that, at that time, she too was on a journey to self-discovery.
