    We recently moved into a duplex. One Saturday morning I saw the neighbor getting into his car around 9:15 dressed in a suit and appeared to carry a bible. Not 100% he was a dub, but I changed my wi-fi name to "Satan."

    Hey - it's the little (rebellious) things.

    To me, doing anything with intent and them as the motivation,would be proof that they still had control over me. The last thing I did that would be considered rebellious was to throw out all my old literature. Throw is probably not the right word. Hurled....slammed...ripped and shreadded would more accurately describe what really happened.
