It couldn't possibly be because people have figured out that they are do nothing, perpetually whining grifters.  Oh no, not them.

John MacArthur is being John MacArthur. The most concerning part of this is that there's a huge nouthetic counseling school run at Masters University.

The guy sitting next to him staring grimly is Costi Hinn who folded like a wet paper towel when he questioned Doug Wilson about all his sex abuse scandals. One wonders if he might still have a little PTSD from Doug doxxing him.

JMac has long been skeptical of mental illness and mental health treatment, but this seems more extreme (disinhibited?) even by his own very low standards. 

There is a theory out there that the meteoric rise of tradwives on social media tracks with the overturning of Roe V Wade. The idea being that once abortion rights were overturned, pro-life people became increasingly emboldened.

I wonder what is motivating him here. The student protests? The coming election? Distraction from another brewing scandal within his church?

JMac is one of the top 5 fundies that personally piss me off, but I will concede the man is very smart. He knows the blowback is coming.

Still no donations on their go fund me.  This isn't going to work out for them. 

Art has some theories as to why:

"Fundraising is getting so much harder. I blame the price gouging that’s affecting everyone except the extremely rich. People can’t spare what they used to, because life is getting more expensive. Food, housing, and everything else is climbing up and up."

"The poorest are hit hardest because of the greed of the richest. I truly don’t know what we are going to do. We need to move again because we can’t afford to stay in this area. Moving itself is expensive, too. We haven’t received any donations yet toward moving."

And honestly I do think it’s because so many people are struggling more than ever. We just don’t have the “same $20 to share around” that we had even a couple of years ago. And that is scary.

From their public social media page. As I expected. It's not them. It's everyone else.

She asked everyone to interact with  her house organization posts in order to boost engagement. 

I wonder if she’s trying to write a home decorating book or something? 

I want this to happen in so many ways, because who the heck would she write it for? Because in this world how many Jesus loving, huge family, high budget, maximalist, anthro,  mummies, with zero taste are there? I mean I am sure her hordes of followers will totally see them self in any home guide book she wrote 🤣🤣 

As to toilets I would pay to have as many toilets as rooms now, after having 1 for 4 people in our older house. I swear I clean more with 1 then 2, 3 woukd be a dream. 😅

I also loved my old house set up, it was a partial open plan. You opened the front door to the living room and dining area, but kitchen was tucked off to the side, so you couldn't see in to it from the front door, but it was open to the dining area so was great for entertaining and living. But I know they aren't for everyone and I admit to not wanting my kitchen seen from the front door. So I guess I like a partial open plan. 

Losing a wanted pregnancy at any stage is a devastating loss.  I really feel for Jill and the rest of the Dillards.  I hope Jill and Derick are getting whatever help and support they need - therapy, family and friends taking care of their house and meals, prayer... whatever is actually going to help.
