Now back to your regularly scheduled Alexanders...

Isn't her son getting married this weekend? I think today's post is a message to her future daughter-in-law.

Oh god, I think you're right.

:ew:

We get some "interesting" search terms and I've wondered why in the past, but now I understand it's because we talk about the fundies and all their sex posts. I shudder to think the kinds of search words that are leading people to their pages. I'm not a prude. I don't have a problem with porn (as long as it's not bestiality or kids etc) and we get some search terms that I am thinking "well there is an FBI watch list, so I'm not even clicking to see what post that leads to." So if we get those for just talking about their posts, what must the actual source be getting :shock: :o :mouse-shock:

What kind of things are you getting :o

I competed in a race today-- one where I was actually competitive in my age group. And I thought of Ken and Lori several times. Not just as in, "I'm an athlete and Ken thinks I can't be!" Just, "Hmm... wonder what ridiculousness they are saying now. Too bad I'm missing it!"

I really need to get a life.

I got bored and went over the Always Hating on Everyone blog to see what words of "wisdom" Lori has for us and found that yet again she is contradicting herself from one blog post to another. Today she says this:

It doesn't even say we should set boundaries with our husbands. {The only boundaries you should set with anyone is if they ask you to sin and do something completely contrary to God's Word.}

But if you go back to another recent post when someone asked if they should lie on tax forms both Ken and Lori responded with the idea that woman should just go along and lie because it wasn't that bad of a sin. So it is apparently in Lori and Ken world the husband word trumps God's commanments.

Re the bolded:

Says it all, really. I don't remember seeing, when we are told to render unto Caesar, any part that says "if you feel like it."

[CrazyCatLady]

The ONLY boundaries you should set with ANYONE is if they ask you to sin?

Um, no.

Lori, give me all your money. That is not a sin so I'll be expecting a check this week.

Lori doesn't have the sense God gave a goat

[formergothardite]

I think rocks have more common sense and empathy than Lori.

I think that both Ken and Lori are so obsessed with the idea that the husband should always be obeyed that it never occurred to them that they were telling a woman that when it came to choosing between obeying God's commandments and obeying your husband she should pick the husband.

The master manipulator is telling women they can't control or change their husbands through manipulation. That's rich. :roll:

Also, has anyone else noticed how few comments have been posted the last few days? Either she's deleting like mad, or some of her old faithfuls may possibly be waking up at last to the true reality that is Lori. :cray-cray:

Most likely, both.

Her old faithfuls have been posting comments that aren't sycophantic, empty praise.

Now, all her old faithfuls are perma-banned. :roll:

Sigh, I see our favorite nonsensical person is at it again. Well, at least she's not advising women to win their husbands "without a word" this time. She always uses that verse wrong. It's for nonbelievers only and it frustrates me because it's basically saying that a Christian wife can't correct her Christian husband when he's wrong. Pssst, Lori, yes, she can!!! It's not as if you haven't done it to Ken enough times over the years. Submissive and not controlling? I have a VERY difficult time picturing that.

Oh, the rest of the post is about winning them without a word. :roll: See, if the husband is being horrible the woman should never mention it, she should just focus on changing herself, being gentle and quiet, always rejoice when working, constantly smiling, accept her husband the way he is, and absolutely never hang out with people who mention that their husbands are less than perfect. And if she does all that she will have the marriage she dreamed of. Just like Lori. :roll:

Well, she did "win him without a word" when he didn't want more kids.

She didn't say a single word about sabotaging their birth control method.

Dear Lori's Readers,

TALK TO YOUR HUSBAND. Communicate your thoughts and feelings respectfully. Treat him like the grown adult he is. Stop listening to Lori's crazy talk.

You're welcome,

Jerkit

This isn't really about today's post but very relevant to Lori's whole mission.

The following quote is referring to women who claim we cannot ever refuse our husband's sexual advances:

Some of them proudly announce “I never refused him!†They remind me of hopeful heroes waiting in line for the purple heart.

It's from a book called "Letters to Karen," by Charlie Shedd. It was written in 1968. The author is clearly very conservative and these are his thoughts on the whole "sex anytime he wants it" mandate. I read through the chapter quickly and did not find anything where he advised women to never refuse their husband's sexual advances. He does encourage women to be available and to sometimes initiate sex.

Just wanted to throw this out there to show Ken that there are Christian men out there who do not believe what he clearly has based his whole belief system on.

There's a link at the side of the post to Lori's classic "Fifty Shades of Grey" post in which she loudly proclaims that the details of a sex life are intimate and should be between a husband and wife only. We, apparently, should not be reading about anyone else's sex life because that's porn. Interesting, then, that I know more details of Lori's sex life than I do of my own.

I just clicked over and read the post and comments. I find it hilarious that most of the comments start with "I have no idea what you're talking about," or "I didn't read the book, but...."

They were all stumbling all over themselves to make sure everybody knew THEY DIDN'T READ THAT BOOK!

Uh-huh. Riiiiiight.

[jerkit]

Lori advises a reader to stop talking to her husband about a desire she has.

*head bash into the wall*

Dang, I should have known it was too good to be true!

Someone mentioned this before. Which child? What was Ken's reaction?

See, I think Ken supports this wholeheartedly because it guarantees him sex even when Lori is feeling particularly shrewish. It's his ace in the hole (no pun intended, lol). :lol:

In which Lori says, "Do as I say, not as I did" and Ken suggests that bargaining for more children is probably the best way to do things. :roll:

[Coco]

all the passive-aggressive forced joy leads to a ton of resentment and even hatred, and the guy could be clueless. Women don't need this advice. It's unhealthy on every level for anyone to suppress strong emotions or needs.

Oh you mean women should communicate with their husbands and tell them how they feel? That's crazy talk!

Um, I just read her "funny story." How disturbing. Talk about a lack of trust that will forever change a marriage! Lori tells her readers not to do that yet I get the feeling she's glad she did. :angry-banghead:
