Lori Alexander 47: Frugal ... Sort of ... For a rich person

[Curious]

Congrats @squiddysquid Go forth and take the job a man should have or something like that

I enjoyed the history of textiles post (sorry I can't remember who made it)

I had more to say after reading all the posts catching up and can't remember now.  Stupid cold meds.

-Before I go to bed I will make sure my house is tidy, and at some point I am going take Koalapuppy and and toss the ball for him.  He barely ventures out, now that it's so hot.

Tell me more about how hard it was to make that pot of soup....

 

 

 

I feel your pain. Currently on the dog couches are 2 huskies, one malamute, one I have no fucking idea of her origin but she is furry like a Tribble and a lab. So. Much. Fur.

Sourdough einkorn....take a drink! Another drink for the word slathered.

 

 

I think the whole $14 pack of butter is on there. If she uses that much all the time it makes this butter even more expensive. What the hell would she have done in times of rationing.

That soup looks like something very similar to what one of my dog's barfed up today - on the kitchen floor and not the carpet (good dog!). I wonder how he got to Lori's house?

Are you saying that you have more than one couch solely dedicated to your critters? If so, that's awesome.  What a bunch of spoiled fuzzies! I really want to see a picture of the tribble dog.

How many vacuums do you destroy in a year? One Mal, one Shepherd and one sled-dog (looked sorta like a Mal but was smaller and even goofier) and I went thru vacuums like water! Our yard looked a lot like the surface of the moon too! I'd love another Mal but Mals and deserts are not a good combination. My crazy-ass daughter has one Mal, 2 Huskies and a Husky mix. She ain't right.

I spent 9 years in college and 6 years in training. I work with people who have no where else to go. Not once have any of them questioned my gender, or why I choose to work. Lori is full of shit. I don't believe in God, but would argue that my serving those who are less fortunate is more in line with Jesus' teachings than what Lori does.

Yesterday, a woman (very politely) asked Lori the following question:

Quote

Is there never a place for birth control?

Predictably, Lori's response was absolutely shrewish:

Quote

You are thinking of your short term goal which is typical of most women. I encourage you to study the satanic roots of birth control

Lori continues:

Quote

do you trust God or not? 

Really, Lori?  Are you kidding me?  You have admitted that this Bible is SILENT on this issue.  How dare you act like this woman doesn't trust God?  Omg, the gall...

Perhaps you don't remember making the following (very public) comments:

Quote

 I am not saying all kinds of birth control are evil or sinful because the Bible doesn't address that issue directly.  I think every decision is between a husband and his wife and what they want to do about it.  I respect that.

Quote

This decision, however, needs to be between each husband and wife.  There are some great resources out there on natural family planning.  It seems healthier for the mommy to space the children out a little to allow her body to get stronger.  

Quote

This is a personal issue each married couple needs to decide between the two of them. Having said that, I believe it is okay to use condoms {which aren't much fun} or natural family planning to space children out. 

Quote

 I realize some believe you should simply allow God to give you children whenever He pleases and I respect that view but I am not sure there is a hard and fast argument you can use in the Bible to support that view. I try very hard to determine what exactly sin is and what is not and I believe God has given us freedom in this area.

Quote

it is between each husband and wife

Quote

I agree that FAM is a very good form of spacing children 

Quote

I would probably practice NFP to avoid getting pregnant because of all you have gone through 

Quote

 The final decision is between you and your husband. 

Quote

The final decision needs to be made between you and your husband, not me.

Quote

I am not here to tell you to stop birth control. That is between you and your husband.

Quote

I am not telling any one how to live

Quote

I am not saying to never use birth control, as I have stated before. This is an issue that needs to be decided between a husband and his wife.

So I take a break from Miss Crabby Pants Lori. Come back and her topic is... leggings. With all the pain and trouble and heartbreak in this world, she's using her "ministry" to bash leggings. Woman, you have too much time on your hands and your head is in the clouds.

[Liza]

@Koala    If Lori were on SPLC, her comments would be rated "pants on fire".  

I saw that post where she is saying people who invented birth control are satanic and that it is murder.   My guess is she is referring to the birth control pill or the IUD which "might" interrupted implantation.  Someone mentioned  barrier methods, and she, of course said nothing. 

As I remember it, Lori used a diaphragm and punched holes in order to stop working.  She also said (I cant find the quote) that her 4th child was "unplanned". That means she was using birth control after the 3rd child.  That said, why did Lori have only four?  Probably because she planned those births.  I wonder if anyone ever questioned her on that?

 It's really easy for her to shame women for the very things she did, isn't it.  Because she "transformed".  Bullshit, she did not transform .She, did not answer the woman who referred to barrier methods, nor the one who said health reasons, or another who said as many as we can afford.  No, of course, those comments are all deleted and the CRAZY comments are left.

Head in the clouds, and mind in the gutter.  I swear she thinks about sex way more than I do!

Today's post: Should Christian Women  Wear Leggings?

Well, Lori- I don't know if Christian women should wear leggings, but I know you sure wear them.

This is a picture you posted on your public Instagram in December.  It's YOU WEARING LEGGINGS.

 

See this pic?  It's you, taking a picture of someone else's house (so you could mock them on Instagram).  See the reflection?  It's YOU.  Wearing what appears to be leggings.

 

1 Thessalonians 4:11

And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; 

Explained simply: Stop gadding about.  What other women wear IS NOT Lori's business.

[AlwaysDiscerning]

Poor Jason he has to close his eyes when he eats out because he might see a vajayjay!

Regarding the BC discussion. She has left up tons of comments. I have captured most of them and have shared about half so far on my fb page where we are discussing it. 

She did delete on woman so far who said she had 7 pregnancies and didn't want anymore. That was all she said.

@Koala:  for your last couple of posts. Your ability to show Lori's hypocrisy in all its many forms never fails to amaze me.

I actually said something to this effect out loud to my cat when I read Lori's latest drivel. Honestly, I wish I had her kind of time. I mean, for one thing, her mother is dying, and yet Lori has hours--HOURS!--to devote to the evils of yoga pants. 

[Demonfan]

Eating with your eyes closed because Vagina! Should be a postcount or thread title! Seriously, WTF?

[EowynW]

"few years ago when women started wearing them my husband couldn’t believe it. He told me he doesn’t know where to look."

how about looking at her face like a decent human being, you fucking idiot.

YES!!! 

I need to ask my husband if he ever has a problem with visible vaginas everywhere when we go out to dinner. I haven't noticed him eating with his eyes closed. But then, I haven't noticed his gaze straying all over the restaurant, either, so I'm going to guess his answer will be no. And then he'll look at me like I've lost my mind.

@Loveday    I just spit up my coffee reading this!  

Here is a link where Lori is telling us how controlling she "was"  ... I dont see that she has changed that much.  Do you?

I'm sure she was furious at the picture her daughter posted doing a ballet pose with the cute cloud/rainbow leggings. I'm sure she was apoplectic. 

[Frog99]

She’s completely ramping up efforts to go viral. And Lindy has ramped up her involvement in the comments- which is a strong indicator of her own beliefs. She made a repulsive statement to a woman who has suffered a miscarriage. Someone called her on it and Lori has deleted that comment while letting Lori’s stand. 

And the guy who eats with his eyes closed- because vaginas?? What?!?

And we have a new leghumper making all of these proclamations about what women should do. Interesting- I don’t have convictions about what others should or shouldn’t do. I have always believed that convictions are personal, with convicting done by God, not by me. 

All of these people get caught up in legalistic detail that is irrelevant, and I think they are the ones guilty of blasphemy (like the Pharisees) out of their rejection of His grace. If anyone has a different interpretation of this I’m open to hearing it. The constant statements from the leghumpers about that are not something I’m accustomed to- even at The Pentecostal Church my family attended through high school. 

[AlwaysDiscerning]

I am thinking Ken told her to leave up some disagreeing comments  in attempts to viral again or get more readers.  This is all very strange. 

[IntrinsicallyDisordered]

1 - Why is this Jason Daniels having any thoughts at all about the vaginas* of the "teenage (and younger)" daughters?  If you're having thoughts, Jason, seek help.  It's your fault if you are attracted to a child's genitals or the thought of their genitals, not theirs or their parents.

2* - I have reluctantly surrendered to the development of women saying vagina when they're talking about a vulva, but I will not accept it from a man, especially one of Lori's fanboys, because I have no reason to believe they actually know the difference.

3 - I call bullshit on this whole thing.  The only time I have ever actually been able to see a woman's genitals through her leggings is in porn and they're really more like tights and meant to show it off.  I'm sure it also happens in exercise classes sometimes when you're all sweaty but for the most part, nah.  And how close and hard do you have to be looking to see that much detail?  Even if you're behind them at yoga during downward dog, your eyes should be on the floor.  Not to mention most women and children who wear leggings wear a longer shirt or dress over them outside of exercising.

[Frog99]

My heart breaks for Alyssa. The passive aggressiveness Lori shows towards her daughter is just wrong. 

If Lori were my mother or mother in law she would be cut off. No access to me or my children. 

I think I’m maybe sensitive to this legging post because my 10 year old recently had to sit through a dress code class- targeted directly at the girls and what they wear. We were shopping last weekend and she picked out a super cute top- she put it on and was instantly self-conscious and worried it cut too low (it didn’t). How dare we subject our girls to these conversations- putting responsibility on them to cover up at a time when their bodies are starting to change and they may already be feeling unsettled. I might feel better if there were conversations with the boys about how to behave in a respectful manner. My daughter has referred to herself as fat- already- and she is definitely not fat. She’s 5’4”, all legs, and a size 0 or 2- and she’s an athlete. 

*sorry. That turned into a mini rant.

I agree 100%......I don't think she's trying to be fair and balanced. She's panicked at losing viewers/having influence/trying to go viral.  I was blocked on her IG the one and only time I posted (I respectfully said there was no science to back up the claim that underwires cause cancer) so I was unable to see/read her postings on that account.  Suddenly this week I am unblocked. What gives?  I don't for a minute think she is being gracious and introspective or regretful for her hasty banning of folks.  She's trying to boost her numbers any way she can.

Lori Alexander:

There is no way they are going to solve nations from being bombed, stop corrupt governments, fix all access to health care, education, human rights, and poverty. ALL of these are completely out of our control and God doesn’t ask us to solve any of them!

Quote

 human rights are not God-given rights

Quote

Jesus said that we will always have the poor among us. 

...we can’t fix poverty or any of the world’s problems. We aren’t asked to do so.

Quote

Even if we could possibly solve all of these issues, it would be meaningless 

Also, Lori Alexander:

Quote

Sadly, many people today don’t seem to have a problem with sexual immorality. It’s low on their totem pole of the world’s problems. 

Quote

Should Christian Women Wear Leggings?

Lori certainly has her priorities straight.  Human rights?  Meaningless.  Women wearing leggings?  "Sad".  Something worth dedicating COUNTLESS posts to.

THIS! He is a fucking creep.

Fundies always get me ragey when they insist their kindergarten aged girls have to wear leggings or shirts beneath unter spaghetti strap tops because of "modesty". They're kids! If not for the giant hairflowers and pink skirts you couldn't tell a boy from a girl, especially a baby!

I shudder thinking about how Anna Duggar felt the need to put newborn Meredith in a dress plus leggins in Summer. If somebody feels attracted to kids they're pedophile monsters, I sure as hell won't ever blame a child!
