FOCUSING ON THE FLAWS OF FUNDAMENTALISM SINCE 2005
Welcome to Free Jinger. Before you dive in, here is a little bit about what this site is all about.
Free Jinger is a free speech zone. We do not moderate based on anything other than hate speech. If you don’t like what someone is saying, challenge them. We prize logic and reason here, as well as thoughtful debate. We do not believe in deleting content, except in very rare situations. In other words, the internet is forever, so think before you post.
If you found us from a Google search of "Duggars", you should know this is not a Duggar fan site. So what specifically is discussed here at Free Jinger? The main forum is Quiverfull of Snark. Primarily Free Jinger is used to discuss the ways of extremists and fundamentalists, mainly religious fundamentalists, and the impact that has on our society. We also have quite a snarky side. Sometimes the discussion is very serious, sometimes it is humorous. The discussions can get quite heated, and may even border on venting so please, no grammar or punctuation policing. 'Text speak' is not allowed. If topics religious, feminist, or reproductive will harm your psyche, consider carefully before you wade in.
On this site we also have forums to discuss misogyny and other issues going on in the world. And for when you're in a lighter mood, there are a few fun forums for discussing entertainment and hobbies.
If your viewpoint tends to the “traditional,” you don’t need to leave – in fact, you are welcome, because otherwise we’re just a bunch of hens agreeing with each other – but you do need a nice thick hide and the intellectual ability to defend your thinking. “Because Mama and Jesus told me so” is not good enough.
Please read our Guidelines, Terms of Use (ToU), and Welcome New Members pages.
You have been warned.
Welcome

The World According to Gwen: there are two ways to eat
1. Binge so much you make yourself sick.
2. Politely starve yourself.
In theory, eating until you feel satisfied sounds perfectly reasonable but it's clear from all the other posts that really she means do not eat if there's any way to avoid it.

@irish_dancing_canadian my pretty princess kitty is called Lilah! Also called lilah bear, grumples, Delilah, pretty pretty princess baby, sweet pea, precious one, smol, etc 😂
I also love the name Anastasia! I realy wanted to name my eldest that, but she has a Belgian (sounds Dutch but no hyphens) surname that is 14 letters long! I would've loved to call her Valentina as she was born on Valentines day, but again, 14 letter surname, and trust me we've had enough spelling and pronunciation issues over the years without adding to it 😁

Checking in from Australia to say I know a few Taryns. You'd likely only have one in a school but no one would do a double take over it. I'd say it is as common as a name like Tamara or Candace.

On 2/23/2021 at 2:19 AM, Howl said:I'd like to do a compare and contrast. My city has a ministry called Mobile Loaves and Fishes. Their fleet of food trucks has been feeding the homeless for DECADES.
I do a food shop at my Trader Joe's geezer hour on Sunday morning and cross under an expressway on my way. A Mobile Loaves and Fishes truck was on the scene of a homeless encampment under the freeway just at the beginning of Winter Storm Uri last Sunday, checking in, giving out food, blankets, whatever people might need.
They have also developed Community First!, a 51-acre village with housing, medical and psychiatric care, social workers, community gardens, a library, a "tiny homes" hotel and lots more.
I have no idea what denomination they are, or if they are affiliated with a denomination.
There is nothing on their web site that indicates that they push their religion or have any religious requirement.
Now think about Bro. Shrader, who doesn't bother to help people because he
doesn't want to foster dependencyis a self centered dick whose "ministry" consists of John stroking his own ego.I'd be fascinated to look at their membership - somehow I suspect they have interested and retained a lot more people than Shrader.
