Skittles? Now you have me craving Twizzlers.

This doesn't sound like a non-native English speaker. Her/his thought process is all over the place.

It sounds like someone trying to sound more knowledgeable than they are.  I'm guessing s/he is young, probably attending their own SOTDRT and is trying to keep up with the big kids.

I purpose to use "Hmmm. Idolatry" in at least one email today.

I have seen other posts where s/he is quite coherent.  I feel like ISUFT lapses into "bible speak" when they decide to go off on a liturgical rant.  Who knows, maybe speaking in tongues?  I strongly suspect a cultish isolated fundie upbringing with a pastor that ranted and rambled like this.  Or, medication effects.  The latter is actually more likely.  Especially since the first time the reason was given that they had worked the night shift.  Who knows.

I love FJ for all the interesting things I learn!  Walking moai?  Fantastic!

I'm a long-time lurker, and was so inspired by this sentence that I decided to come out of the lurking shadows and create an account.  I've been laughing at this phrase all day.

This thread is reminding me that I really need to make that Easter Island-themed terrarium that I bought supplies for a few weeks ago.

I wonder who edits Blessa's Wikipedia page. May they keep that picture of here on there forever. I doubt she herself would like it, but I sure do. In the meanest way possible.

Seriously? She was about 14 in that picture and it's cute.

That's the only way a person should be upon introduction, I suppose. A head scratch.  Liked or disliked.  Some people love to be scratched, some people just feel the itch.  

Bottom line..Josh is at fault but we must be mindful the law is a high bar 

Why is it that I'm associated to the hash pipe?

I've been reading FJ for years, and this post is epic! Hahaha 

Now I need to go think about whether I want to be scratched or just like the itch...

Hey, I resembled a potato at fourteen, so no shade at Jessa for her looks as a young girl. Women already get so much judgment for their physical appearance.

[Trynn]

At 14, Jessa was still wearing frumpers. That's the only reason the pic looks bad. Otherwise, it's a very cute picture that looks sweet.

Absolutely. The way she looks or looked is not the problem with Jessa, it's her crazy fundamentalist ideas. And the fact that you find a person's ideas unpleasant should not be seen as an excuse to make fun of their appearance. 

[potato]

As a long time lurker and first time poster (hi, everyone!) I just wanted to mention that Wikipedia can only use pictures that they have permission to use.  So unless someone gets their own picture of Jessa or she gives Wikipedia a picture of her and explicit permission to use it, it's not going to get updated
