i want to thank @violynn that I needed Leif Garret circa 1970 something in my life.
No crushing on him even in the day, but I can appreciate great hair and a fun poppy cover of Runaround Sue.
Leif is indeed on Spotify. If you see a woman of a certain age singing along with him on her commute tomorrow...it's not me. Way too dignified for thst.

I worked at FCA headquarters in kansas city for a brief period of time. Our team was all encouraged to go on an after-work trip to the IHOP prayer room. I chose not to go and I was the only one. But the (now insane) church I grew up in had been tied to Bickle early on and I'd always had a negative impression of him based on some weird prophecy stuff that people called him out on in the 90s. That said, my childhood church ended up back with IHOP and hired tons of their "graduates." Thankfully my parents are out now.

Maybe I've just spent too much of my life listening to driscoll non-ironically in my youth and then finding my way through deconstruction through ex-mormon youtube.... but it occurs to me that Driscoll's persistence that he's had visions about affairs and the like is strikingly similar to the Visions of Glory "Spencer." And once you make that connection, all of Driscoll's spiritual warfare nonsense and demon trials have the potential to be even more sinister.

They are doing a series on Pressler over at The Wartburg Watch. Nothing really new there, but a pretty good summary if you're not caught up.
What a lot of people including Wartburg seem to be missing is that Paul Pressler caring what the SBC believed is just a smokescreen. The reality is this, the SBC is the single largest evangelical voting block in the country. The lay people involved in the SBC from the Council of National Policy (like Paul Pressler, or Rod Martin) will do whatever it takes to keep this block voting Republican. They need to cover up abuse in church, not for the sake of the church, but because it could breakup a huge block that can be controlled right now.
I would think having already experienced a uterine rupture, and IIRC this was with Freddy and about 3 weeks before his due date, Jill is in a higher than average risk for untoward events and likely is on a very individualized OBGYN plan. Navigating a pregnancy and safe birth after having had a previous uterine rupture and never having had a vaginal delivery has to make Jill’s care quite unique. I hope she utilizes high risk maternal/fetal practitioners.

You weren’t ready for that new job…. So you were fired.
You weren’t ready to potty train… so you gave up after a week.
You weren’t ready to homeschool….. so your kids fell behind.
You weren’t ready to buy that house…. So you were denied a loan.
Does she not realize that when you aren’t ready, things can fail spectacularly? I try very hard not to place expectations on my kids that they can’t handle. They aren’t ready for algebra. So I’m not going to force them to learn it. Her thinking is completely flawed.
Exactly! There are way more instances where "no, you're not actually ready" is the appropriate response.
