  • Hi Friends,

    As you know FJ is completely free for both members and guests.  We are able to provide FJ for free due to ad revenue.  I'm not going to start forcing people to see ads to look at the site like some places do, but I am going to ask that those of you that enjoy FJ and use it routinely to turn off your ad blockers while you visit us.   

    If you visit us every day and turn your ad blocker off several times a week while you are here that would be a help.

    Keeping ads to a minimum and not requiring members and guests to turn off their ad blockers means we make enough to cover monthly expenses with a small buffer for those times of year we have extra expenses like taxes.

    If we come to the point where we are no longer able to sustain FJ at the level we are currently we will be forced to cut expenses and thus site performance or force people to turn off ad blockers while visiting us.   I would really rather not do either of those things, so if you can please remember to turn off your ad blocker a few times a week, we would all appreciate it.

    Thank you,
    Curious

    4. Lori & Ken Alexander (Always Learning/The Transformed Wife)

      UPDATE 2019: Lori Alexander wrote a book (basically turned her blog into a book. There was little, if any, new content) called "The Transformed Wife" and now blogs at  https://thetransformedwife.com/

      She has also discovered social media and delivers her dangerous and unbiblical advice on:

      Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetransformedwife/

      Twitter: https://twitter.com/laalex2?lang=en

      Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetransformedwife/?hl=en

      Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsPbQz30YqPNOE4pKedswUA

       

      Lori blogs at lorialexander.blogspot.com which she considers her "ministry" to younger married women. She preaches mostly submission with a side order of child "training" (she is an unapologetic Michael & Debi Pearl follower). Her blog has become an incessant tirade about men needing lots of sex and women giving it no matter how they feel and how women can change their husbands by submitting and being "godly".

      Ken Alexander, her orthodontic consultant husband, visited FJ in early 2014 to set us all straight....hilarity ensued.

    5. John and Esther (Keller) Shrader

      John Shrader (a/k/a The World's Worst Missionary) moved his wife, Esther, and their evergrowing brood to Zambia to convert Christians to the "right" brand of Christianity.

      Before moving to Zambia, the Shraders lived in a pop-up camper while on deputation.  They relied on the kindness of various churches, as well.  John grifted money for a plane (sight unseen already located in Zambia) and flying lessons.

      Since moving to Zambia he has grifted an amazing amount of money and items for his "ministry."  He has converted approximately 2 people in the 5 or so years he's been there.

      The Shrader's quality of life is far above what they had in the US.  They have all the necessities: an actual house, a fridge with an icemaker, and a supply of sunflower seeds and beef jerky.

      Join us as we chronicle John's misadventures in deepest darkest sub-Saharan Africa.

      WhatWouldJohnCrichtonDo?

      Happy International Women's Day!

      Humanity may have some work to do, to improve gender equality, but I was glad to hear that France has taken an important step to protect healthcare for women (and people of other genders who can get pregnant). 
      (The links are just to a UN page and the AP News.)
      Anyhow, love to y'all!

      Feeling ragey this morning. I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon in the hope of getting help for an ongoing injury. I went to a (different!!) doctor late last year who completely blew me off. He wouldn't do diagnostic testin, he refused to send me to a specialist, and he just told me to "take it easy" and "take ibuprofen." I'm hopeful for today's appointment but I'm also feeling a SEVERE amount of rage at that doctor from last year!

      Well, the rash is back with a vengeance. It never completely cleared up. I saw the derm yesterday and they did another swab and yup, raging infection again, still? It is definitely strep skin infection. I am getting so damn tired and run down from this. Who the f would immagine being hospitalized freaking TWICE for a rash?

      My niece is going to be a seat filler at this year's Academy Awards.  Seat fillers are asked to wear tuxedos regardless of sex/gender.  If you see a pretty young woman with very curly hair, it could be my niece.

      Therapy Outside the Box

      Hello,
       
      I'm brand new to this forum. It was suggested to me by former and outspoken Remnant Fellowship member (Natasha Pavlovich) that I join this forum and put out here what I do. She also warned me that no one on here trusts, or trusts easily, and that I'd likely be assumed to be a Remnant plant or spy until vetted and verified as not that. Fair enough. 
      In short, and in truth, I'm a psychotherapist with 25 yrs experience in Franklin TN (less than three miles from RF incidentally) with a special interest in working with people formerly associated with cults, cult-like or any and all high control intitutions. I'm especially interested in working with those desiring not only deconstruct, recover and learn to thrive post-indoctrination, but those desiring to recapture or cultivate an authentic sense of theology without walls, or spirituality with borders. 
      To date, I've worked with former Amish, Mennonite, LDS/FLDS, FOG, and a those representing a whole slew of evangelical, fire and brimstone fear/shame/guilt-inducing institutions.
      I am especially interested in working with former Remnant Fellowship and Scientology members. I view RF as basically Scientology without the budget. 
      I'll leave it there. Much more can be gleaned about me through my website: therapyoutsidethebox.com or IG: @ therapyoutsidethebox
       
      Peace,
       
      Chris Hancock, LCSW
      Franklin, TN
