th_Sarah_Hebrides_zpsd6217a02.jpgGerman-born, based in the UK. I accidentally migrated to the UK to attend university, and found the British Library. So, I decided to call it “home”, and stayed. Books are my catnip, especially when they deal with history, but I’ll read anything. Unlike Lori Alexander, I actually do love learning; and the implicit idea that knowledge might be dangerous, baffles me.

I came to reading Christian fundamentalist blogs after stumbling across the word “quiverfull” in a newspaper article. Google led me down the rabbit-hole of fundie blogs. My background is one of liberal Catholicism, in Germany, where the mainstream Christian Protestants seem the real liberal ones. I had never heard of Christian fundies, and was hooked. Holy rose-coloured spectacles, had these people never cracked open a history book? Also, why do some people resist spell-check?

After the occasional mention of "Free Jinger", I googled that and realized that I’m not alone with my questions and bemusement. And my continuous amazement, about how little fundies seem to know about actual history. So, with that in mind, I’m going to mostly focus on history. Because fundies don’t seem to get that the past isn’t some magical la-la-land of Victorian ladies in white summer-dresses, and independently wealthy gentlemen. If you have an issue you’d like me looking into, let me know. I don’t pretend to know everything, but I love learning about new things, and keeping that pitchfork of knowledge polished.

      She talked about how the little children were taking bread from the pantry and putting it in there. So maybe it was clean when it came home but then the food got in it? 

      I think she just lied.  She didn't want to admit that she hadn't even opened the cabinet and cleaned it out so she blamed it on the boys.  They'd have no reason to put bread in there and, honestly, it didn't look like bread crumbs.  Abbie was so excited over her latest ugly find that it hadn't occurred to her to clean it up first.

      I think the little boys just get up to lots of shenanigans because Braggie refuses to supervise them.

      I think with all of Josh’s issues, the families still in AR, for the most part, have hunkered down and are protecting their own family’s privacy. The less they expose themselves, the less pushback and snark they receive.

      Which of course is a smart move in my opinion.

      People on Reddit think Joy wasn't there, which is understandable since she went through something similar. Going to something like that would probably just bring all that pain back up.

      RE: number of c-sections - I've heard of women in Europe being told 2 only; my friend's parents argued that Americans do more and their doctor okayed four. Women in US 4 only. But have met women who have had 5 sections. Two women I know were told at their last c-section (3rd and 5th) that their uterus was at the point of rupture and advised them to not have any more pregnancies. My point is it's very individual and a doctors should consider individual circumstances.
