Lori Alexander - Still Not Learning A Thing, Part 3

[ViolaSebastian]

Does Ken get the idea that men are supposed to love their wives like Jesus loved the church? All of these rules and regulations are supposed to fall under that foremost commandment. He sure doesn't speak like it. 

Apparently Jesus gave the church five minutes and some lube. 

[Koala]

 

Ken, if you are reading this, here is some food for thought:  Nobody ever says "How can I convince my wife to eat chocolate cake?"  When something is a source of pleasure for someone, you don't need to beg them to do it, or worry about "withholding".  Now, there's also a line in the Bible about loving others as we love ourselves.  We know that you consider sex to be your "need" - but women have a need for good sex too.  You might not need to beg or worry about rationing if it's not all about you and your needs in bed, and if you think about spending more than 5 minutes and actually pay attention to what might turn her on.  I'm still quite amazed that you are so willing to tell the world that you are a 5 minute wonder who can't please your wife in bed.  My husband would be mortified.

Well said.  

Happy Birthday to your husband and daughter!

Hha ha, this is EXACTLY the point!!!

Ken, are you listening?

Here's some naughty reading material for Lorken and the leghumpers, who think that being helpful or caring for babies makes men into wusses:

Seriously sexy stuff.

Lorken have now had posts vilifying 2 out of 3 of my favorite things in life: wine and foreplay. If they do an anti-coffee post, I'm out.

[salex]

Wait!  They vilified wine?  I thought they drank wine.....

Here's another analogy for Ken:

Imagine a couple who know that it's good to get away for a little vacation.

She wants to go to a great little out-of-the-way inn.  He starts to drive there, doesn't think that he needs to use a GPS and won't ask for directions, and gets lost.  It takes a really long time, so he gets frustrated and says, "forget it, let's just check into the Motel 6 off the interstate.  Maybe it's not the romantic inn, but any place to sleep is still good".  After that, he always insists on the Motel 6, because it's fast and he knows the way.

What he doesn't realize is that if you are willing to admit that you don't magically know the way, and use Waze or Google Maps, and occasionally ask for directions, you can indeed find that inn.  Plus, once you know where it is and how to get there, it will become much easier to find it the next time.  You'll say "Oh, you just need to take that little road after the bridge, and then it's just past the hill", and won't get stuck on detours. Pretty soon, it won't take much more effort than that Motel 6, plus you'll find that your wife is much more willing to make the trip.

[How's that for a G-rated intimacy tip?]

 

[Curious]

Here is what I don't understand.   Fundie men (supposedly) wait until somewhere between 19-24 to start having sex (after they have married).  Presumably, they also aren't masturbating because they are precluded from doing so by sleeping in the same room with umpteen other siblings who range in age from toddler to maybe even older than they are or they are just "convicted" not to partake.

Then they get married and suddenly sex is on par with food/water/air.    I simply do not understand this logic AT ALL.

  Hmmmm

I guess they missed this Ecclesiastes 8

15 Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.

or 

Ecclesiastes 9

7 Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.

8 Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment.

9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.

10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

 

Or Psalm 104 …14He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And vegetation for the labor of man, So that he may bring forth food from the earth, 15And wine which makes man's heart glad, So that he may make his face glisten with oil, And food which sustains man's heart. 

 

Sounds to me like occasionally drinking enough wine to make one's heart glad means more than half a glass now and then.  And I'll go all fundy and say that "the bible knew wine was good for your heart before Doctors did"   We have a glass a night with our meal for health reasons, and may go for the glad heart from time to time. 

 

I suspect she is anti coffee... (what is it with all these fundies and tea?)

The upside is, I don't base my life choices on her or ken's opinions.  The downside is I ever heard of them or their wretched blog....

My life isn't worth living without coffee, wine, and foreplay

I take a little Internet break only to come back and realize that Ken and Lori are as stupid as ever.

Here's a great line from today's post (lorialexander.blogspot.com/2015/10/arguing-with-your-teenager.html):

I argued with one of my teenagers. We didn't have that good of a relationship during the teenage years. Looking back and knowing what I know now, I know I was wrong. I was the adult and instead of arguing with them, I should have poured love and affection upon them for we are commanded to overcome evil with love.  After they were grown up, I have apologized to them and told them how wrong I was and how I wish I would have treated them differently.

 So... at what age should you start being nice to your child because you are the adult?  I mean, you hit them because it's your responsibility and God-given duty as an adult, and then you start being nice to them in order to overcome evil with good.  So when does that transition take place?

Wait, I thought that all of her children were perfect in account of the beatings timeouts spankings and Jesus? I also love how teacher Lori screws up the singular subject and plural pronoun. Learning is hard, ya'll.

She didn't screw it up. She's trying to hid which child she had conflicts with. She doesn't want to use "he" or "she" so she chose this grammatically incorrect method.  

(I am pretty sure it's Alyssa, especially since Lori talks about "girl junk" her teen had to deal with. Cassi's described as very compliant and easy-going, plus she'd probably learned how to appease Lori by watching her older sibs).

I agree- it's Alyssa. 

Alyssa received more spankings than the others.

  But it's all okay now, cause Lori said sorry.

Alyssa also left home at 18, to the other side of the country. A coincidence, I'm sure.

 Lori is going to watch Clueless you guys.

Commenter:

 

I don't know how much you care, but Stacey Dash is probably most famous for a 20 year old movie called Clueless. It was a then modern day retelling of Jane Austin's Emma. Ironically she was one of the Emma character's vapid friends. It is wonderful to see how much depth she has gained and her strength to stand up to the peer pressure of clueless Hollywood.

Lori:

  love Jane Austin's movies! I will have to look up that movie. Thank you!

[laPapessaGiovanna]

I don't want to be obnoxious,  also because I am far from being perfect,  but if you love Jane Austen so much (and knowing all her books and having read many of your ramblings, I think you love her only because you haven't understood much of her work) maybe you should be able to correctly write her name.

Well, she did say "movies," so presumably she hasn't bothered with the books. 

 

I can't wait for Lori to watch Clueless. One of my all-time favorite movies -- no lie, lol -- and I can quote that thing backward and forward. 

 

"Ms. Stoeger, my plastic surgeon doesn't want me doing any activity where balls fly at my nose."

"Well, there goes your social life."

Lori and Ken make marriage sound so unbelievably unappealing for women...why would any woman in her right mind CHOOSE to enter into the kind of "perfect marriage" described by these two? I guess that's why their blog is aimed at women already trapped in this kind of lousy marriage? God, if I had these two telling me about their version of the joys of marriage I never would've gotten married, ever ever ever...

[salex]

Well, Lori and Ken are using trending celebrity names as click bait again.  Joey Feek of Joey and Rory (who I never heard of until last week, but are trending big time) are Lori's celebrity Christian of the day. 

Go Lori, use the pain of another's life to get people to click on your blog.  

Also, why would anything in the story of Joey make me want to praise God?  She never wanted kids, but at 38 or 39 felt she should leave that decision up to God ( I wonder who pushed that) , got pregnant, never went to a Doctor, used a midwife for a home (breech) birth without drugs and was diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer just over a year later. 

Hallelujah and all that jazz. 

Maybe if she'd gone to a obgyn before or during her pregnancy, they'd have done a pelvic and a pap and caught this earlier.  Not guranteed, but Lori bragging about not going to a doctor in the same sentence as hearing about how she had stage IV cancer is chilling to me. If she had gone to a physician, she would not have been forced to have tests, and if she had tests, she would not have been forced to abort.  But they might have found her cancer before it was stage IV.

So, based on this story, God's decision for this woman was a pregnancy she never really wanted, but thought she should accept, a baby with developmental issues who will not likely have first hand memories of her mother, and a potentially painful death from metastasizing cancer that might have been caught sooner if she had gone to a physician. 

 

God works in mysterious ways. 

PSA.... if you have any unusual spotting, especially after menopause, get the to a gynecologist.  Sooner is better than later. My hair is coming back and my oncologists say there is a 5-10 percent chance of problems recurring, but that would not be the case had I waited to see my physician.

There's a part of the video where the woman jokingly drives the bus away while the man is still peeing and he runs after the bus and she laughs. I'm honestly surprised lori didn't chastise her for that. Playing practical jokes seems very anti Lori.

It's one of my faves too and I would love to see Lori's face when she watches the scenes about the girls talking about sex.

Alyssa also left home at 18, to the other side of the country. A coincidence, I'm sure.

Well, she left to dance for Jesus.

[jerkit]

Lori is so very dumb.

 

Yes! The first two have light colored eyes like Ken. {Alyssa's are more on the green side.} The last two have brown eyes like mine! I always had heard brown eyes were dominant but not in our case.

Today Lori is talking about Halloween again but she doesn't tell us if she and Ken participated.

http://www.lorialexander.blogspot.com/2015/11/overcoming-evil-even-halloween-with-good.html

I find myself wondering how Ken and Lori would handle certain situations with trick-or-treaters (if they do indeed accept them).  We tend to get a lot of cars full of children from the neighboring city.  There are some pretty rough spots in that city (more like a large town) and  I think their parents are just looking for a safe place for their kids to enjoy the holiday and our little town is the nearest one with "neighborhoods," sidewalks, etc.  Anyway, the children often come in very large groups and a lot of the kids are quite old - some would say too old to be trick-or-treating.  The parents always get out of the car and stand at the end of the sidewalks, following the kids and making sure they say "thank you." and all that.  My problem with handing out scripture notes is: what if these families think they are "targeted" for the notes? That somehow they appear to be "less than" and therefore need a scripture reference more than those kids that are familiar to us? 

Why can't we just "show the gospel" on Halloween by simply being kind to everyone that rings our doorbell? The teenager that is "too old" - after all wouldn't we rather see him trick or treating for candy than out drinking a beer or looking for drugs?  The "grabby" child that takes too much and doesn't say thank you?  Eh...kids get excited and over sugared and sometimes just forget basic manners. 

I can tell you that if my daughter had been asked to recite a scripture to a complete stranger, she would have clammed up and had great anxiety.  She knew scripture at a young age but was very shy.  Asking a shy child to "perform" for strangers could really ruin their evening.  But we all know that Lori believes shy children should be punished, not shown empathy. 

Funny side note: We had one little girl that handed back the Reese's cup we'd just given her, saying "I can't eat these." As we gave her a non-peanut treat, we heard her mother whisper "I told you to keep those. I can eat them."  And I was like "Go Mom!!"  But then I was the mom that offered my kids a dime for every chocolate treat they were willing to sell. Thank goodness they loved skittles and Twizzlers.
