Lori Alexander 41: The Uninformed Wife

[freealljs]

Hmm, so now the Horse himself has appeared from his Lair of Truth (cough), suddenly after all speculation from yesterday.  They so do read here. 

Does anyone know if the Horse himself ever provided justification of taking money from orthodontics offices that employ/staff women?  I have asked that question on both blogs, but never received a response.

Today I learned that there are people dumb enough to eat Tide Pods. I have no words.

All the kids called her "Miss" in front of her name and it seems like most of the people in my family also use Miss as a term of respect for older women.

IME it's a Southern thing.  I have lived in TN, KY and TX and it is completely common in all three.  My mom has directed the children's choir at her church for over 20 years and to all her students past and present, she is "Miss X".

When I chose to be gay I cannot say

Was I six?  Was I three?

I know not the date, nor what god made me

Just a kid, a toddler, not he or, she

 

I clearly remember when I chose to be straight

I acquired a boyfriend upon turning eight

He was tall, dark and cute, my feelings acute

Alas, I'd clearly chosen my fate

 

I'm thrilled with my choice it's caused me no pain

But I feel for those who can't make up their minds

It's so much to think about, so much to unwind

LorKen make it difficult, they're terribly unkind

 

Oh, wait, there's no choice, it's simply me

So fuck off Ken and Lori

Go jump in the sea(in your modest swimwear)

Ken with your penis, longing to be free.

 

I am not responsible for any of the above.  My computer was hacked by Satan.

I don't think he has ever provided justification for it. When he was briefly on FJ, he said something to the effect that he respected working women. On his old business site, I remember seeing a slideshow of pictures of Ken at clients' offices pictured with mostly female staffs. I can't remember the web address of the old site. If anyone remembers it, we should check to see if it was crawled by Wayback Machine.

"Femiinism is Fatal" ... well I guess she has no remedy for that.    Rinse, repeat.

[cara]

Yes he admitted right here that he's encountered many successful working mothers and doesn't share the same strong views as Lori about it. He also differs on the subject of spanking  being the *only way* and talked openly about giving his children time outs etc. I know he would never have been on board with having a quiver full family and 'leaving it to God' as Lori swears they would have done (if they hadn't been, ya know, using various forms of family planning the entirety of their marriage ), 

I can see why he feels he has to defend her in her online crusades. But I think equally, he would be just has happy if she toned it down a bit and allowed them to live a more normal, peaceful life.  Have friends, eat normal food, contribute some income towards her health costs etc.

Today's post is really, really weird. 

[AlwaysDiscerning]

This story fits in too perfect with the narrative. I don't believe that a mom goes back to work and all of a sudden her two daughters get into drugs and drinking.  There is either something she isn't telling us or subconsciously something she hasn't admitted to (like abuse).  She has rationalized her mom going back to work as the cause of her problems because its easier to deal with.  They like to make it all so simplistic and that there possibly can't be any other causes as to why one goes down that path. Plenty of moms go back to work and their kids don't get into drugs.

Excellent article. Just so good. I was born in 1982. My parents were caring, loving and had a stable relationship (still do). House was always tidy, well feed, looked after etc. However, they are ‘atheists’, and very left/liberal. I believe the leftist mindset is dangerous and is becoming more and more unhinged.

Mum stayed at home till I was about 8 and that made me feel quite safe. I was very obedient, wanted to please and worked very hard at school and was at the top of my class in many subjects. Then mum went off to work full time leaving me, my younger sister, and brother to work things out. I just remember ending up becoming a lazy teenager, mucking around at school, being really mischief and silly with friends, and watching a lot of awful TV.

I started binge drinking at age 13 and then developed a heavy addiction to marijuana at 16. I became a believer (Pentecostal so lots of deception) at 19 and this gave me a few years of relief from drugs. Got married to a wonderful man at 22 (who I am still married to). But then started drinking again soon after marriage and by the time I was 33 was a full blown alcoholic (only my husband knew the extent). Ended up in rehab, had affairs and suffered from sex addiction. Now at 35, I am becoming a reformed Christian and my marriage is stronger than ever, but this is only thanks to God and his mercy and finding teachers like Lori, John Macarthur, Paul Washer etc. who are helping me to untwist the scriptures and hideous doctrines of the charismatic movement.

My sister has battled with addiction pretty much her whole life (she is not a Christian). She is 33 and has recently started using ice. She has two young daughters to two very difficult fathers.

My brother is the only seemingly stable sibling but I’m sure he has his hidden issues.

The sins of the father’s are passed down to the third and fourth generation as you stated. Addiction is heavily in my extended family and both my sister and myself have suffered.

When I read blogs like this, I can’t help but wonder, if my mum (who is a loving, caring and stable women – though not Christian), stayed at home and cared for us properly, would my sister and I have gone off the rails. I know it’s not entirely my parents fault but it plays a big part.

Society is in a lot of trouble. I know our story sounds hectic, but it is the story of many people. We need Jesus. He is our only hope.

Sorry for the long message (and I hope it makes sense – I wrote it very quickly..), but I just really related to your article. There is so much wisdom in it. Everyone needs to read it. God bless. Thank you, Ken.

For one thing, demons don’t live in homes or inanimate objects. They live in fleshly things like people and animals. There’s not one instance where a demon lives in a home in the Bible. There’s no such thing as haunted houses, unless they have been created by people to appear that way. Therefore, we don’t need to rebuke the demons! If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, you are an overcomer and He has defeated the Devil.

Yes, angels and evil spirits can enter your home. For example, the archangel Gabriel entered the temple in Jerusalem to speak to the priest Zacharias about his future son, John the Baptist (Luke 1:7-23). He simply appeared inside the room where the priest was ministering. The same angel also entered Mary’s home in order to announce that she would give birth to Jesus Christ (Luke 1:26-35). If holy angels can enter a closed room, then evil spirits can too! Evil spirits, or demons, are angels also. They are fallen angels. Therefore, evil spirits can also enter our homes, places of business, and any other place that they desire. We would encourage you to read the study “Angels – Good & Evil” in order to understand more about angels and evil spirits.

Today's post is so weird. She is literally making a mockery of the victory we have in Jesus. 

Titus 2 is the only gospel she knows.

And also, picking apart a Christian movie. Why? For what purpose?

[Alisamer]

She's just a troll. She'd be better off in the comments section of YouTube, or on Reddit or something.

She can go on and on about all this staying at home, leaving family size up to God, spank your children, no public school, etc. ONLY because she's past the age where any of it matters at all to her life (after all, she didn't actually do much of what she expects other women to do). Her hobby is judging people and telling other women what to do, and she gets a thrill out of any engagement she gets from it, negative or positive. She knows she hurts people, and is smug about it. She likes the feeling of power she gets from it.

She really, really needs to find some other sort of hobby, but she's too lazy for anything that requires more than sitting at the computer, and too narcissistic to take up anything that won't get her constant attention from other people.

[Sarah92]

I think Lori's just ticked off that the woman in the movie worked and I think ended up making more money than her husband. And clearly she missed the whole point of the woman kicking the devil out of the house. Maybe she should have whispered the devil out instead, with a nice please? In a meek and quiet way yah know? Actually I think Lori gets meek and quiet spirit wrong. I don't know if it has to do with physical so much as spiritual. Having a calm steady spirit with self control is more of the impression I get. But I haven't done a ton of study on that aspect.

Awhile back, while trying to learn about growing cut flowers, I stumbled upon a lady who looked a lot like Lori. She was older, an empty nester, was married, loved Jesus and had her own Facebook page and YouTube channel. She loved to encourage people and talk about Jesus. She was so sweet spirited. She covered sewing, gardening, growing cut flowers, arranging cut flowers, home decorating, etc and stayed quite busy. She would get dirty and sweaty on her outdoor videos. It made me feel sad for Lori because Lori is truly missing out on so much of life.

Unfortunately, it's gone beyond that now. It's teens (and some pre-teens) challenging each other on social media to 'eat' the pods. They film the exploit and post it on YouTube. Of course it makes them sick. I think YT has shut the videos down, though, so hopefully the fad has faded by now.

You know what really irks me with Lori?? OK that's not a trick question (EVERYTHING)..Let me rephrase that, you know what realy irks me about Lori at the moment.   I hate how she throws out these made up blanket statements (from today's bizarre movie review/post) 

"This seems to be a common practice today among women especially."

No facts, no sources....and just uses it as another reason why women suck. Where are all these women supposed doing all these wrong things.  I hate these generalities she just makes up. It makes me ragey

You are correct (in your last 4 sentences).

The word in Greek used in 1 Peter 3:4 that is translated "meek" in the KJV (other lexicons translate it as humble or gentle, which I think is more apt) is the same word used by Christ in the Beatitudes and also to describe him riding into Jerusalem.  Yes, Christ's behavior could often be described as meek but OBVIOUSLY there is immense self-control and underlying strength. 

The word translated "quiet", hesychius, would more aptly be translated tranquil or peaceable.  In my tradition (Orthodoxy), a hesychast is someone who devotes their entire life to silent, undisturbed prayer and communion with God.

Lori is about as far from hesychius as it is possible to be and still remain on the planet.

Goodness' sake, Lori, your lack of historical knowledge is showing again! Working class women never got to sit back idly and let a man provide! And even if a woman did not receive a wage, she worked hard, unless she belonged to the 1%.

Not receiving a wage does not equal leisurely strolling across sunlit meadows! It doesn't mean, you sit around eating bonbons all day. Because- surprise- without modern appliances housework is hard work. Bone-breaking work!

It is bone-breaking work, but this is spoilered, because not everyone wants to read about my experiences of what laundry-day was like in the 1800s, ahem...early 1990s in a small German farming family:
 

Spoiler

 

My German grandmother married a poor farmer, and our family had never had the money to modernise. So, throughout my childhood in the early 1990s, I learned how to do laundry 1800s-style. Let's start with having to prep food for laundry day: You start days in advance. It's got to be edible cold, it's got to be fatty, but can't go off even in summer and some sadistic mind came up with all the best recipes that take hours and hours.

Then you have to pre-soak the laundry the day before. Oh wait, I forgot the step where you have to sit up mending, because you can't put torn laundry into the kettle. Fun times, which ruin your eyes and your hands! Or as mum and granny put it: "Here, you thread that needle- your eyes are still young enough!". Says a lot.

You get the fire going beneath the kettle, after you've filled the kettle up with enough water. Yay for that! Drawing water to do a week's worth of washing is child's play, right? Turns out, buckets are quite heavy. Also, getting the fire right isn't all that easy, and pre-soaked laundry is heavy as all get-out. You spend hours stirring the boiling laundry, tending the fire, drawing more cold water to cool the laundry down, and then you have to wash it out and mangle it. Watch your fingers at all times!

But here comes the fun part: You still have to hang it all up on the laundry line! Once you do that, you watch endlessly for a change in the weather. And birds. If you don't watch out, several days' work can all go to hell. So, you get the kids to do it, while you tend to the garden, the animals and whatever else needs attention.

I was lucky. I was told that I would need to know all of this one day, but then grandma and mum got washing machines. I have used their knowledge from time to time, but only to wash a few bits and pieces. The back-breaking laundry day that I recall is a thing of the past for me.

It's a memory, but I'm not Lori, who thinks that this was a better time. On the contrary. The reason we did this was because we had no money to modernise, but enough women-power to keep things going. Up until I was in my early teens, the women worked the land, while the men sought employment. Women's work was rough. You were stuck in the 1900s, and every.little.thing had to be done by hand! And then you had to work the farm!

But sure, women have always sat back on their sofas eating bonbons! After all, unpaid work doesn't count! Right?!?

 

 

[AlwaysDiscerning]

Oh my!!!!!! It looks like that great review on amazon is gone now. The one where the reviewer said she was banned from Lori's FB for posting scripture.  Do you all think she was threatened and took it down? Or can Lori pull strings and have it removed? Why that review when there are so many negative? Did that reviewer fly too close to the sun?  You can say negative things but don't you dare let people know about how she deletes people. She must have really pissed them off. 

Curiously a 5 star review now takes its place saying instantly after reading her book, her marriage got better! Just like that!!
