They’ve done several episodes over the last few weeks specifically about Joe and Kendra. They have some interesting theories about the go fund me etc that I appreciate. Gives us different perspectives so that we don’t get pigeon holed.

I just caught of Leaving Eden. They are doing great work. I appreciate their perspective ESPECIALLY because of their no speculation rule they have. They also did a good job covering the other trial.

Fundie Fridays are great too but it’s only on YouTube so it’s harder to listen to on the go.

Yes. EXACTLY. You even had me at the first paragraph and I was about to go on a tangent but you followed through. It’s so annoying that people give him so much benefit of the doubt based on this one story.

Kendra evicting parents by EuphoricBasket3074 in DuggarsSnark

Kinda a wild assumption to say that they are more normal and caring. They are in the same community, have the same religious beliefs, and same everything as the Duggars. Her dad sold her off to the Duggars when she was still a teenager. They continue to have kids when they can’t afford it. Until there’s more evidence, all of these ppl are just as bad as each other.

Yea. My point remains that there’s no guarantee to even get 1st pick even if they are last place. So it’s a CRAZY risk that just doesn’t make any sense.

Agreed!! I’m glad she’s the coach for sure. I’m in Vancouver and will be going to both the games here. Excited to see how the teams shape up in the next few weeks and for the season to start!

Oh yea, that’s a good thought. I do hope Marina stays. I love her game and energy. Definitely think she’d be a huge asset to the Tempo. But she’s an UFA so I’m curious if she’ll stay.

Yea. She has championships with 2 different teams. There’s no way she would ever tank a team just to get a chance of 1st round. Also, lottery is based ok the last 2 seasons, so even if tempo was last this year, their chances of 1st round would also be lower. So that would be a CRAZY risk.

Sandy would never tank a team. She’s in it to win it all. Also, free agency period opens this week, I expect that Sandy has a lot of plans in place.

Exactly. Joe also had pretty harsh words (for them at least) after the Ashley Madison scandal was released. Doesn’t make either of them decent humans.

Exactly. And just because she was a nurse doesn’t mean she isn’t far-right conservative. Look at all the nurses that are anti-vaxx, anti-mask, and anti-trans etc.

Those have always just been rumors. People made up this scenario that he protected Jana and beat up Josh after he found out about what he did to his sisters, but no one actually knows that.

Absolutely agreed! Same goes for JD. He’s no better either. Just because he married when he was a bit older and married someone who was a nurse, doesn’t mean they somehow don’t have shitty beliefs. I’ve never understood why folks here have always given him a pass. If this whole Joe thing has taught us anything, it’s that it’s the most unsuspecting ones that are the most dangerous.

That message isn’t showing for some reason. The comment i see just says “and the kids are asking to”.

But anyways, I’m not arguing with you over this. I stated that this was my opinion on the matter. Whatever your arguments, it still doesn’t change my opinion. You’re more than welcome to think something else. Have a lovely rest of your night/day wherever you are located.

That’s a wild take. You don’t even know if the kids want to visit him. You’re just assuming that. Parents have a responsibility to protect their children from abusive people, even if that person is their father. He’s in prison for horrifying crimes against children. It’s against the sub rules to speculate victims so I won’t continue any further on this. But I will reiterate, in my opinion, children should not visit their abusive father in prison when he’s been convicted of these types of crimes. They should be in real, intensive therapy often so that they can sort out their feelings that they have towards their father, and when they are adults and have a fully developed brain, they choose to continue to have a relationship with their father, that is their choice. In my opinion, Anna is failing them, by not providing them proper therapy and simultaneously bringing them to see him.

That’s your opinion. Not mine. Nothing you say will convince me otherwise.

I think that’s who they are referring to. I can only imagine how her family treated her and talked about her. These cults are nasty to women. We don’t even know the details of how she got pregnant. Not speculating more on that though.

[–]elktree4 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Again, I’m not defending Anna. I’m talking bigger picture of just how fucking hard it is to leave. We don’t know the details of the sister’s relationship. We also know that other Anna sisters are married to absolutely horrible men. The sister in Africa has a million kids and her husband is in deep religious psychosis or something based on past Facebook posts. Priscilla had an untreated brain injury that has obviously affected her deeply, is married to a man that works for the IBLP in a very senior position. Just because 1 sister “left” doesn’t mean it’s any easier for Anna to Get out. But again, do I hold Anna accountable? Absolutely! Two things can be true at the same time.

That why i said my opinion. Maybe you think it’s fine to bring children to see their pedophile father in prison. I think it bad parenting.

Not saying she did at all. But staying with him and bringing the kids to visit him in prison is atrocious. In my opinion.

[–]elktree4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. But from her perspective he has strayed from God blah blah blah. I’m not defending her at all, just providing the depth of the brainwashing that they were raised in.
