⛓️ Brother Yasha
Chapter 1
Yasha was never particularly interested in religion, until he learned that some Christian cults tamed their flesh with extreme austerities, all sorts of iron chains, bands, rings that ascetics wore on their naked bodies to humble the flesh; an iron belt, heavy nipple rings, iron chains that force the spine to fold in half, and so on.
"They exhausted themselves with iron chains, and, thinning the flesh, thinned out sin together," said the article. "Wearing them was an ascetic exercise, with the aim of exhausting the bodily in a continuous effort to completely, according to the word of the apostle, crucify one's flesh with passions and lusts."
Looking through the photographs and drawings spicing up the article, Yasha immediately felt the urge to repent of a number of sins. Unfortunately, Christianity has been banned worldwide for over a century, so it took a long time to find a sect that was still active somewhere in the Siberian forest. Fortunately, Yasha was accepted, and since then he could tame his flesh with passion and lust as much as he wanted.
