What happened to me?

I used to be able to pull all nighters like it was nothing...now a couple of nights of shattered sleep and I'm not entirely sure I know where I live anymore.

A selfie...

This isn't bad...I could get very religious before the end of the afternoon...

I won't admit to how long I've done this today....

My desk is more than big enough to do this...if not for the damn open door policy...

I'm not sure I'm focused on the right things today...

If my headship would only forbid me to have a job I'd be home sleeping right now...

Awww. I'm so sorry. I really hate that feeling. I hope you can go to bed at like 7 or something.

I'm so sorry you're suffering through this.  As a long-time insomniac I truly feel your pain, and I wouldn't wish it on most of my not-friends.  As I like you, I definitely hope you find a way through it soon.  Melatonin helps sometimes, and a dab of lavendar oil rubbed on the soles of my feet have also worked.  Sleep soon, sleep long, sleep well!

This really sucks, and I can sympathize. I've been through several horrific bouts of insomnia over the last year, and it has been hard. I agree with the Melatonin suggestion (although it sometimes gives me freaky dreams).

      You are probably correct - as usual, it's about the money and the power. Jesus is a very distant third, if He is in the running at all.

      Nathan Pearl just took over the NGJ business ministries. His daughter Ashley is running the NGJ social media. NGJ is also republishing TTUAC, allegedly a new edition with some changes:

      Well now. Who is going to take one for the team and compare it to the original?

      Nose goes.

      Michael Pearl is the cult leader and he will feel the need to pontificate on some bizarre and arcane reasoning when the truth is likely much more logical: he wants to keep the money and the power and the esteem and allowing for occasional divorce makes all that possible. To stay true to the teaching would mean distancing from half of his kids and that would be cruel.

      We have looney relatives on both sides of the political spectrum but the place they overlap is a desire to buy raw milk and organic foods. 

       

      OMG this is so funny you guys mention the raw milk thing, because as a homeschooling fundie kid in the 90s there ended up being a black market/raw milk ring that operated through the local library (small town). We would collect giant jars of raw unpasteurized milk from the fridge there (deposited from a local farm). It was an open secret advertised by word of mouth in the fundie homeschool community. 

      I loved skimming off ladles filled with cream from the top and using it in the baking I did for the family. Looking back, I'm just glad none of us got seriously ill.  But since this was before the internet really took hold it shows how longstanding these beliefs really are.

      I think the fact that the bont kids post things all the time about their dad and not their mom perhaps reflects negatively on their relationship with their dad. They feel more secure with their mom and don’t have to post praising Instagram posts to get her love and attention. I see the posts about their dad as a way to get positive attention from him (and perhaps keep away negative attention). It’s like they are trying too hard for marlins approval 

      They have been raised to worship their father, not their mother. There is a disturbing picture where Marlin is sitting in the middle and all his kids and wife and around him, adoring him like an idol. At least, Duggars or Bates mothers had the spotlight, were the bee queens (not that I envy their position!), but Bontragers don't give wives that special treatment.

      Based on the quote posted by @TrueRebel1, I'm going to say her parents have changed their ideas on divorce FOR THEIR DAUGHTER already but of course won't preach it publicly. Michael Pearl is the cult leader and he will feel the need to pontificate on some bizarre and arcane reasoning when the truth is likely much more logical: he wants to keep the money and the power and the esteem and allowing for occasional divorce makes all that possible. To stay true to the teaching would mean distancing from half of his kids and that would be cruel.

      Well duh. All of it is cruel.

      WTF does the following even mean?

      She must be functionally illiterate. Even considering her (and her parents') belief in "rules for thee but not for me," does she even read what she writes? CTBHM was first published in 2004 -- the year she & James got married. IOW, the book was written in this century, the 21st century. 

       

      I'm laughing at your summary. Because yeah. Apparently 2004 was the time for marrying and 2023 the time for divorcing. Women saved their marriages and now women are saved by fleeing their marriages. All ordained by the unchanging Bible.

      Nothing to see here, people.
