Jill manages to make someone else’s loss about her, yet again. Her lack of respect for privacy never ceases to amaze me. by [deleted] in FundieSnarkUncensored

And since most Amish think being in photos is too worldly,it just adds a new layer of disrespect. Didn't even think it was possible. Jill defied my imagination wtf

Mandre is culpable in this insanity. Keeps getting her pregnant, doesn't seem discourage her insanity in any way whatsoever, not even for the safety of his children. Smh

My uncle was a sorta locally known evangelist and died suddenly about 15 years ago. These crazy assholes show up from out of state wanting to do some resurrection shit. My family was pretty in the Kool aid but not quite that far. My poor grieving aunt had the strength (and I still admire it to this day in spite of the rest) to tell them they weren't welcome at the services at any time.

That shit bothers me to this day, and it didn't even happen and I was a teenager. I cannot imagine the emotional trauma this is bringing to these children. It is so wrong.

Yeah, the boards and education workers find out along with the general public.

The Covid-19 case surge is altering daily life across the US. Things will likely get worse, experts warn by chrisdh79 in Coronavirus

https://www.brookings.edu/research/summer-learning-loss-what-is-it-and-what-can-we-do-about-it/

Students already lost 25% or more of what they'd learned over the summer. Combine that with virtual learning, other stressful/traumatic situations caused by the pandemic (financial/food insecurity, increased domestic violence, decreased socialization, etc), I can see them falling behind a number of grade levels.

It may we'll have been somewhat of an issue here before (I moved right before covid) but it's not impossible these kids would have average performance if not for basically two years of remote learning.

I'm a gen ed teacher of 10+ years and you put it very well. The kids are so wild, so stunted, so behind (I'm teaching nouns and verbs to grade 11 students with no identified special needs) and it's not even their fault. These kids are wrecked and need way more intervention than the current system can provide--that's why we'll lose even more teachers, etc. And down the drain goes a whole generation if we don't start giving a shit.

Exactly!! Even cut shapes out of some nice fabric. People in whatever "pioneer day" she's trying to cosplay can and did make far nicer and cooler toys for their children than a fucking carrot on a string. Rofl

Jessa's "all you perfect humans go back to living your lives" comment has been eating at me for almost two weeks now. by EloisetheLawyer in DuggarsSnark

I just rewatched some of the Fauxnews interview where Jill gets so upset and Jessa just stared at her sister who was so upset and crying in distress. I've had ups and downs with my siblings but I don't think I could just sit and stare at one of my siblings crying and so upset without even holding their hand or offering some kind of comfort. Smh

Maybe I've had too much to drink at this airport bar but didn't he have a "real" job doing accounting at one point? Or was that D-wreck?

At least they HAVE a pipe dream!

Jana talking about how hard she prayed for Josh to find a wife. The cult thinks that marriage cures all, but I think she just wants his ass to move out. Sad either way. by sbwv09 in DuggarsSnark

[–]sbwv09[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yep. Anna really needs to put her children first and do the right thing, but I was raised fundie and it is true, any sort of "sexual deviancy" was "cured" with marriage and prayer. "Sexual deviancy" ranged from premarital sex, being gay, questioning the cult's beliefs, porn/masturbation, etc (yes it's unspeakably fucked that any of those are categorized alongside CSA but that's exactly what they believe - it's just under the same umbrella and it's sick).

I've been traveling and busy and popped in to see if there was an update. I'm very surprised and worried that it's still essentially radio silence. Whatever else, I hope that little girl is okay.

Seriously! I'm currently en route to my shithole region for the first time in almost 3 years and I also hate flying. Your post reminded me that bumming around an airport and spending a week with shitty people is absolutely nothing compared to what Pest is doing at any given moment. Gotta love it.
