By popular demand...
Does anyone still keep up with Razing Ruth (razingruth.blogspot.com/)? She was raised fundie (ATI) and escaped in her teens with the help of a local family. Her spiteful, angry, deluded father has been trying to get her back ever since, and makes occasional cameos on her blog. Since escaping, she has started college, dated (and was even engaged), and documented her struggles on her blog. She has several siblings still at home, and apparently her 21-year-old sister ("Rachel") got pregnant by an ATI boy and was cast out. The boy's family is denying his paternity while she is being totally slut shamed. She is now living on her own near Ruth and gave her daughter up for adoption. She was born a few weeks ago, quite early, and adopted by a gay couple that she selected. It's a fascinating story...from ATIer to adopting one's child to a gay couple in just a few months' time.
Everyone's favorite QF mom had plenty to say about Hillary Rosen's comments (stevenandersonfamily.blogspot.com/2012/04/its-good-thing-i-dont-work.html). Apparently being pregnant is her job: "Speaking of being sick, it is a common workplace hazard to be nauseous and throwing up for weeks and months on end as part of any job."
In other Zsu Zsu news, she has all the answers regarding single motherhood. "Assuming that unlike Mary, these single moms did not conceive miraculously while living in celibacy, I say they should not be a single mother to begin with. As in, don't have sex outside marriage, and you cannot end up a single mother. If you chose to disobey God's clear command on this, you may (through your own fault) put yourself in a situation where no matter which solution you chose (work a job that requires you to relinquish your kids to the care of others, or live off welfare), you will be doing wrong. That's not God's fault." Post here: stevenandersonfamily.blogspot.com/2012/05/ahahahaha-parenting.html
If you're not familiar with McKMama, and you love a good trainwreck, check out mwopblog.com/. I can't even begin to describe all the delightful fundie hypocrisy here, from the lies about her children's health, to the domestic violence, to the pending divorce, to filing for bankruptcy, to screwing over landlords and others, to plagiarism...it's all just a giant disaster and you could waste days on this site.
Good news! This fundie has figured out "what women want," and it's to not trouble our pretty brains with things like "decisions" and "the weight of life." We just want to submit to our headships, y'all! strivingforwisdom.wordpress.com/2012/05/17/what-women-want/
Among the highlights, Mom discusses the state of the new couple's nether regions ("They stood in front of us in purity, saving themselves for each other so their marriage bed would indeed be sacred."), and also discusses their honeymoon plans ("Having a blast swimming, hiking, and getting to know each other better"). Because that's what honeymoons are for...getting to know the person you just committed to spend your life with.
But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.He believes there should even be church discipline for any able bodied man who does not work hard and provide for their families, unless they are injured or ill. Here are some quotes from that sermon ~
We live in a perverted and stupid culture: hook up, shack up, and break up. Men that act like boys. Do not be conformed to this world! If you aren't providing for your family, you are not a man. Live simply if you have to and do not worry about the status quo.
Moms at home and dads providing for their families produce healthy kids and enduring marriages. The man should be lovingly leading his family, providing and protecting, while the women helps him and is his mate right alongside him. They are equal bearers of God who are different with different roles and tasks.
She is primarily responsible for the home. This safeguards marriages against divorce and is best for children. Women are nurturers and are more keenly aware of their children's needs.
The home must be established according to biblical principles. NOTHING in scripture says women should work outside of the home and men stay at home. You need to go to the culture and find worldly wisdom and examples and then try to sanctify women working while men stay at home.
Zsuzsanna makes me so angry. I actually posted in the comments about Attachment Parenting (I'm Scottish Twins). Her breastfeeding post also made me so mad that I responded on my own blog. Very few people get me as worked up as she does.

I don't follow any of these too closely, but that Zsu Zsu is a piece of freaking work. I have never seen a such a hateful person claiming to be a Christian.
I was really happy to hear that Ruth's sister found a good family for her baby. I thought they were going to have the boy do a paternity test. What happened with that?

I think there was some concern that he would attempt to assert his parental rights if it was proven to be his, and it would affect what Rachel was able to do with the baby, so they decided not to go that route.

From the stevenandersonfamily site: - Being awoken at 3 AM to a child throwing up all over the floor is nothing. I mean, every job keeps you on the clock, 24/7, with never a day off, ever ready to leap out of bed and jump right into action on more nights than not. Who in the working world is not required to scrub floors, change bedding, and start a load of laundry in the middle of the night, all with minimal lighting, and as silently as possible, so as to not disturb all the people sleeping peacefully?

Word on the street is that yes, Anna is pregnant again. Someone close to the family let it slip. However, a photo from May 8 on duggarsblog.blogspot.com shows her looking pretty un-pregnant (the May 21 entry).
And I love Sister Wives. H was away for the past month almost, and I spent that time catching up on all of it. I don't think Meri should have Robyn be her surrogate. She's in her mid-40s, and she has a teenager. I don't see how having a baby would be appropriate for her at this time, but if that's what she wants, then more power to her.
FreeJinger is abuzz because Kody told RadarOnline that his wives each fulfill some of his needs, but not one fulfills them all. The consensus is that perhaps a man could.

Moms do best at raising their own children.
Wow, that's just a steaming pile of idiocy.
Comment from someone on that same page- Jenny · 24 weeks ago Lori has given us another God-inspired {if unpopular} view of Biblical truth. The roles of women and men are being diminished even by "Christians" - it's so sad! Feminism has its claws in deep, but the Word of God never comes back void. Hopefully one day soon women will return to valuing the role of wife, mother, and manager of the home - because it is a beautiful calling!
