Aunt Lori Alexander 22: Criticising your poop and pining for Gilead

[Chocolatedefrauded]

That's my question. Did the woman actually ask for advice? Then why does her family member want to acost her & tell her what to do?

Because, in this person's opinion, the lady in question is in great sin and should go back to suffering. Because suffering and putting up with misery is "godly" and "portrays Christ and the Church accurately to the watching world" (I don't get that, by the way).  

Has anyone else noticed the general negativity in Lori's posts and the ensuing threads?  She says you should think about "whatsoever is good, lovely..." and all that, but she herself keeps posting about:

- the divorce fantasy world

- leading captive silly women

- dealing with unruly, vain talkers and deceivers,

- the destructive nature of peaceful parenting

- one long temper tantrum

- ramblings on affairs and divorce

Her three not-overtly negative ones:

- submission as is fit in the Lord - is full of her usual rhetoric against "unsubmissive/rebellious" women.

- seek those things which are above - not written by her, her obligatory Sunday break. Has zero comments.

- having a heart for service - some post about fixing your husband's plate before yours and living to serve him. Just your husband.

Lori and Ken. SEDD. Same Evil Different Day.

Welp, an attempt was made, didn't get through the moderation process, apparently Aunt Lori doesn't want to talk about it.

I read again Lori's post on spanking women, and it seems Ken is egging her on so that she will be arrested. Sneaky Ken.

So Ken is in for that Orange Is the New Black look eh? Kinky Ken you dirty boy.

Why wouldn't she just simply say "no", unless she is purposely trying to mislead her readers?

Pornstasche was a central character in the first season.  Ken missed his chance!!

Okay, I am starting to think all the whining she does about other people eating out too much is a big joke.  Does week go by, that she doesn't post something about eating out / pictures of her plate / and now the bathrooms? 

Seriously asking, has Lori ever said anything "kind" to anyone?  Wasn't she just bragging about her "sharp rebukes" for anyone who dares to disagree with her?

Lori:

Quote

 If I respond to them at all, yes, I rebuke them sharply 

Meanwhile, in the Bible:

Quote

Proverbs 15:1

 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

Seems to me like a simple question.

Pornstache has moved on, he's Mad Sweeney now.  Ick, now I'm imagining Ken in that part.  'Scuse me, the nausea just hit!

"Covenant marriage" to some fundamentalists means that both partners have only been married to one another and never divorced and will never divorce for any reason. They believe that even if the spouse legally divorces them, they are to remain  unmarried b/c they are still married in God's eyes, and no man can dissolve it  God's eyes

Now what I want to know is, did Lori weigh her waste (weighste?) when visiting the restaurant bathroom? Does she carry a scale with her for just that purpose? What happens if she needs to poo when out in public (pooblic?) if she doesn't carry a handy scale? Does she just wing it? Does she carry doggy bags? Oh, and how does she keep her "special" doggy bags separate from her leftover doggy bags? 

So many questions, so little time. Seriously, though, inquiring minds want to know. Dish, Lori, girl.

[HarryPotterFan]

Someone should ask Lori how she measures her poop and see if they get a response. I'm very tempted.

I like to think she carries it home in a little doggy bag that she fashioned from a norwex cloth and a plastic bag. Norwex are antibacterial after all. She can just rinse, lay in the sun to dry, then reuse.

Quick show of hands: Who here married a man to be their "protector and provider," a'la Lori?

I sure didn't. When I married him, I outearned him. and the house we lived in was mine, lol. I suppose he could have protected me, but I didn't particularly need protecting. I married him because I wanted to create a life with him. 

I wonder how Ken feels about being nothing more than a wallet and glorified security guard? Ah, well, as long as his penis is getting its 10-minutes-and-lube ... 

Hey, I was making more money than Mr. B. when we got married, too! (Although, he always has been a better shot with a rifle...so protection is eh?)

I married for love, not money or protection. Based on what I've heard from Lori and Ken themselves, marrying for love is so much better. They can stick their phony idea of "God's ideal" for marriage up where the sun don't shine. Of course, that might impede Lori's required 2 pounds per day of bullshit...

It was the disappointment of my mothers life that I didn't "marry to be maintained". Apparently I'm a fool for marrying for love. She actually said to me that "it's great to have fun with a man but when it comes to forever, money is better". We didn't speak for many years after that conversation.

The concept of love marriages is somewhat more modern. However, women are not considered property anymore in any western culture so marrying them off for political gains or from dad to a man so she can make babies is not longer a thing. As such, a man with money is not really a goal. Women are able to make their own money now. Some people are still stuck on the Leave it Beaver TV ideal that men make the money, women stay home and care for kids and home. If forced to marry someone without much choice, I can get that. My fiance's culture does arranged marriages based on criteria set out. If I had to do that, especially in the past when women in their culture weren't allowed an education or real autonomy, just marry young and having babies, I would probably marry for money. If I can't choose who to be with or make my own success and financial situation, then I would try for someone who had money so I would know I and any children would have what they needed without worry. Outside of that situation, it doesn't make sense unless you are lazy. My fiance has a nice job and makes good money and I do admire that. Not because he makes good money, but because I see how hard he worked and works to get that money. He has a serious drive and work ethic and works hard at what he does, that's what I admire. When he is determined to do something, he will do what it takes to succeed. I also know some submissive person like Lori would NEVER work with him. When I ask him to pick or choose something, he doesn't like that. He wants us to agree, to give an opinion. A "whatever you want dear" wife would drive him crazy. As my fiance says about submission (asked once cause I'm curious), "If I wanted someone to just agree to do what I want, why marry at all? I can just do what I want, how I want alone. If it's not a partnership, why bother with a relationship or marriage at all? Do what you want alone."

@dairyfreelifeMy mother had me at almost forty years old and falls into the Leave It To Beaver era ideal of marriage. A man should first and foremost be a good provider and all that. There are cultural exceptions to the idea of love for marriage as well. My best friend growing was Indian and while her mother didn't exactly force her, there was family pressure and she did end up choosing someone that her family introduced her to. He is a very nice man and they are happy. Nothing wrong with that. In my situation my mother saw that I found someone who I loved and cared for very much but was still trying to set me up on blind dates. He also happens to be a good provider but it just wasn't enough for mom. It goes on from there and I didn't stop speaking to her all at once. We hit a point where it was no longer a topic I would discuss and it culminated in the exchange that I shared above. We've since renewed our relationship and we are on good terms and she respects my boundaries. It sounds like you have a great husband and found happiness:)

Not married just yet. Funny you mentioned Indian because my fiance is Indian as well. That family pressure is super strong. Having been with my fiance for nearly 4 years now, I knew about India and Indian culture and Hinduism a little before, but have now been rather immersed in it and discovered quite a lot. The pressure you speak about, it's so crazy. They may not come right out and say their child has to do something, but any other option will be hell if they try. There's a huge amount of "if you don't do it our way, we'll take our ball and go home" manipulation. My fiance and I have nearly broken up a few times over the horrible behavior from his parents towards me. A number of times I just wanted to quit because I couldn't deal with his dad anymore. Sometimes I still wonder if I am not getting myself into hell for life if we marry honestly. For example they want me to do something they think I should do and then get angry when I don't despite the fact that they never mentioned it to me. When my fiance says that she (me) can't read their minds, she's not a superhero, they come back with "if she was Indian she'd know". It circles like this often. They make my head nearly explode and put me under so much stress. So, I feel for you and your friends. I can't stand when parents manipulate to get their way. Or their way or no way/it's wrong games. 

Glad things are better now between your family.

Why does the South Park episode about pooping in "Couric measurements" come to mind....?

I expect this is the only proper and modest facial expression- a woman, smiling gently but with no real joy, in a frumper, mixing a 20 pound lettuce-only salad to achieve her 2 lbs a day.

[jerkit]

So is she weighing her poop in front of Ken? Because just a few months ago she was saying you should never poop in front of your husband. Even flossing in front of husbands was prohibited as "not feminine."

[Red Jumper]

I think the fake smile is permissible:
