I am really concerned about Allison’s weight. In her newest IG photo, she looks SOOOO thin and I can’t imagine such weight loss is healthy. 
 

To he clear, I am aware that being very thin does not always equate to being unhealthy. But, when it is the result of severe weight loss in this fundie culture, it worries me. 

In the 90s I cared for identical twin boys in the Nicu whose names were Norman Delix and DeNorman Felix.

So it’s not really about theology, it’s about brainwashing and giving people the feelings that they want to feel. If you argue theology with a Remnant member, it quickly becomes clear that they “know” (not factually, but in the sense of a very strong, deeply held belief) they are in the correct religion and that they have a personal relationship with God due to all these feelings and subjective experiences. They will always fall back on telling you that you need to visit Nashville and experience it for yourself. Or if you already have visited, they will tell you that you need to go “all in” so that you can experience it for yourself. That’s what this cult is—desperately brainwashing yourself so that you can try to keep feeling certain things you like to feel. 

When we got into a theological debate where our RF relative literally just repeated the exact same verse like a broken record for hours, she finally broke down crying and said "I don't see how you don't see it... If you would just spend time with us and listen to Gwen's teachings for a while, you'd feel God's difference in your life." That's it... That's the "theology." The tribalism feels good, the step-by-step guide to heaven feels like it makes sense, and the wealth means they feel like they must be doing something right. 

We tried to tell her that feelings can lie but the Bible never does and she was dumbfounded.

If Joy wants a wants a big family, she’ll do better to try for a VBAC if she can. Not saying she can’t have multiple csections, but my third one was the longest recovery thus far and I’m about to have another surgery for an umbilical hernia that was the result of them. Doctor says after this surgery that it’s safe to be pregnant again after the repair, but it’s been a harder time over all. I also ended up with a hematoma that found an exit through my incision area and I ended up at wound care once a week and having my husband pack it for me in between until it healed. All that to say if she’s determined to have a lot of babies it’s going to be easier on her body if she is able to vbac. 

I have a child that had accidents for well over a year. And still does sometimes. I’ve changed a huge amount of poopy underwear. It’s not special or fun or exciting. It’s disgusting and awful. I would rather deal with throw up.
