But I find it comical that a random part of your body must not be touched until you are married (imagine if someone said don't touch your third knuckle until you are married no matter what) and then once you're married viola you can.

Does touching your third knuckle feel good? Yes? Then it's probably the devil leading you astray. You should be saving your knuckle virginity for your future husband. How would you feel if you found out that he let everyone rub his knuckle? Your knuckle purity is a gift to be guarded. I mean, why buy the cow when you can rub it's knuckle for free?

I guess I've just been throwing it around today.... I've had a male AND a female rub my knuckle this afternoon! (But I'm just a hoe-ish Jezebel doncha know??) 

*laugh emoji*

For reals tho, occupational therapy for carpal tunnel release ain't no joke! 

Also: Lori's a snooty old bitch 

[Red Hair, Black Dress]

Lori's FB comments to her 'Women in the Workforce' post are making me stabby and ragey.  I want to smack a bitch. Hard.

Lori has a recent follower, Janelle, who keeps referring to herself as a "new Christian" (what does that even mean) and is asking Lori's advice on everything.  Janelle's 17-year old daughter wants to be a nurse/midwife/doctor and heretofore Janelle and hubby have encouraged her and what appear to be her God-given talents. 

However, Janelle, thinks they might not be doing the Christian thing in encouraging the daughter and asks Lori's advice.  Lori vociferously tells Janelle no no no, bad bad bad for daughter be a doctor or even think about being anything other than a wife and mother.  Janelle and Lori go back and forth for a while with Lori flat out telling her how wrong it is for the daughter to even think about an education.

Ken jumps in a couple of times  agrees with Lori, and tells Janelle to listen to Lori who is a wise older woman (bwaahahahah).  But... he finally weasels and says its up to the parents to seek God's will for what the daughter should do. Except remember women are supposed to only be wives and mothers.

Vlad's comment was deleted, but Janelle's answer that it was an awful thing for him to say and she'd pray for his heart is left. Wonder what he said that Lori deleted him. Others' nasty comments seem to have been deleted, but the responses to them are still up

Seriously I was furious -- seething -- after reading all the comments.

At this point all those people telling Janelle to stop her daughter from going to college and pursuing her dream can burn in hell.  Especially Lori and Ken.

My friends and I have never had a real conversation about masturbation.  It's no one's business.  That's between you and your choice of method.  I could see my dearly departed Godly mother "older woman" and her Bible study friends discussing masturbation.  Ain't ever, ever going to happen.  They had to explain to one of their friends what the word "dick" meant when talking about a person, not a body party.  Not that they are prudes, but they aren't sex-cessed.

It's bad enough when Lori comes up with her own crackpot psychology, but the others chiming in is worse.  Her tangents and rants have intensified.  I think she truly is delusional.  Maybe it's a side-effect of einkorn bread, like rotten rye was suspected as the culprit for the crazy Puritans and the Salem witch trials.

G. Hiebert's response was over the top crazy.  ABOMINATION!!!  SODOMY!!!  DESTRUCTION!!!  FAITH!!!

[Briefly]

I read several postings on her instagram.  The stuff she posts is pretty bad.  But the commenters?  They are mostly idiotic!  I'm sure that there are people who disagree with her, but that most of them are deleted.  Woman is nuts.

[Sarah92]

I'm tempted to reach out to Janelle but I'm afraid she won't be willing to hear. I feel like she need to speak to someone without Lori and Ken popping up and being distracting. I'll have to think on this. 

Lori can't think of a reason why someone would want a spouse if they can masturbate... Idk love? Companionship? Having a best friend? Someone to share burdens and joy with?  Gee I can't imagine why someone would get married outside of just wanting to have sex and feel pleasure. 

But if females masturbating makes them into lesbians, does male masturbation make them gay? Because that would be a problem as I've seen stats as high as 98% of males have masturbated. I suspect Lori is confusing facts with opinions again. 

[ladyicantxplain]

Not sure if anyone has brought this up yet, but I wonder what Lori's masturbation-shaming does for those who were sexually abused early in childhood and have lived a life of habitual masturbation from an early age, not even UNDERSTANDING WHY?  Many children who masturbate "too much" for the tolerance of those around them (parents, caregivers, teachers, etc.) have been molested and have not been able to articulate the emotions and shame surrounding the abuse.  Many do not remember the abuse!  Many grow into adulthood with this horrible "secret" masturbation compulsion, and don't know what to do with it. God forbid they read something like this, which lumps masturbation in with FORNICATION, as defined in the Bible.  

Head's up: fornication is not masturbation.  Not even close.  Masturbation could possibly be idolatry of sorts, but even then, I would want to know WHY someone was compulsively driven to masturbate obsessively, because it doesn't usually just "happen" that way.

I see nothing helpful about this writing which calls masturbation fornication.  I see more condemnation, more attempts at shaming people into behavior modification and more fear-based tactics of manipulation.  Disgusting.

OH DEAR LORD!   Female masturbation does NOT cause "lesbianism"   It doesn't Lori. It just doesn't. 

There is much truth in what Lori has said.  As I have masturbated my way through life, I've found that in my 60's I'm almost 96% lesbian.  And I know I started out 100% straight!

On her last post I saw that comments were limited. So yeah she needs validation, and only validation.

[EowynW]

Shockingly enough, my fundie mother told me that masturbation wasn't necessarily a bad thing. She just said to make sure you weren't letting it take the place of your spouse and depriving spouse. I was shocked. Sometimes my mom can be quite rational. 

[Red Hair, Black Dress]

There is absolutely no way that tons of young women are sharing their masturbation stories with this other older godly woman Lori was "chatting" with.

Absolutely no way these imaginary young women were telling this imaginary older godly woman in detail that all their masturbation had lead to all kinds of perversions and porn and lesbianism.

This is a figment of Lori's sex-obsessed brain.  It's what she fervently wishes were happening to her -- being the recipient of all this scintillating, titillating smut and sin and perversion talk so she can be shocked and excited and judge-y all at once.

For a supposedly godly discreet woman, Lori is vile.  She talks more about sex in excruciating detail than the most horn dog man ho.

I wonder if Lori only gives Ken 5 minutes and some lube because she usually takes care of herself?

…continuing on… if some women should want to submit themselves to the Scriptures and return home there would be a big sucking sound, a sinkhole in this artificial economy. We have created many artificial services, just as but one example, thinking it is our God-given right to live to 100 yrs old so place millions of women in health care.

And who will pay for the personal debt and mortgages created from this bogus lifestyle if some women should leave? And government debt of all kinds. The University system would collapse from some women leaving it.

Not to worry: our good Lord is sending earthquakes and famines [Climate Change??] and other things that will reveal His wrath with us.

My bolding. Oh my goodness, Dave. God is apparently sending climate change because women have jobs, guys. Who'd of known.

[ladyicantxplain]

Regarding Dave, he speaks as an imbecile, claiming to know the Word but speaking the opposite of the Word.

Actually, it IS the will of the Father that we have long lives:

Psalm 91: 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

And Dave, some other lord may be sending earthquakes and famines and other things that will "reveal wrath", but The LORD of Hosts (that's our Father in Heaven) has made it abundantly clear in His Word that this just ain't how He rolls:

John 5:22 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son...“Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.

John 12:47 “If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day.

(There is a day of judgement; that day is NOT now; not today. Today is the day of salvation.)

I agree that tons of women are not sharing their masturbation stories with Lori . But I could see one or two young women who knew what she was like deciding to have some fun at her expense and talk about their own experiences just to get a rise out of her.

As a young woman, annoyed by her sanctimonious bullshit I might have done it and then laughed to see her write about it.

The best gift you can give your husband is for him to be the first to rub your knuckle.

I actually get the feeling that she's extremely repressed and sexually frustrated. If she actually DID take care of herself (or Ken took the time to take care of her, so to speak), she'd probably have an orgasm 50+ years in the making. And then end up like Charlotte on the rabbit episode of SATC, with her hands too busy for nonstop posting and deleting. Her delete finger would have something much better to do.

Oh hey, maybe that's where Lori got all this scintillating, titillating information about women masturbating "too much." 



 

[quiversR4hunting]

Lori's obsession with female masturbation - I think she was cleaning snooping at one of her adult children's bedrooms and found some adult toys.

Let's face it, Lori is passive aggressive to her daughters choices about work, fitness, clothes, swimsuits, etc.

[Emilycharlotte]

Or she was reading Cosmo (or whatever) online--purely for research purposes, of course.

I hadn't thought of that until you mentioned it, but now that you have it wouldn't surprise me.  Of course if they use adult toys either solo or with a spouse that's entirely their choice, and Lori should mind her own business.  If anything I would consider that a good thing, a sign that they are more comfortable with their bodies and sexuality than Lori ever will be.

From today's post (which I'm pretty sure is another attempt to go viral): 

Quote

Ask your husband what makes you attractive to him then ask him what makes you unattractive to him. (I asked this of my husband, too, and still need to work on a few areas!) 

I'd love to have been a fly on the wall for that part of the conversation.

[louisa05]

I am totally shocked by Lori's answer to the woman asking if she should hide grief for her recently deceased mother from her husband. Wow! 

I was expecting Lori to tell her there's not excuse for not being happy.

I was shocked too, but then I really looked at her answer.

The reader said:

I recently lost my mother after a long battle with cancer.

 I still have the feelings of grief. On the days where those feelings are prevalent, should I just smile and pretend they aren't there for my husband's benefit?

Lori's response:

Quote

 I am not referring to the grief of a loved one. I am referring to those emotions that cause one to take our their bad moods upon others.

That's literally all she said.  No condolences or words of comfort, just one of her typical, shrewish responses.

And then Ken chimes in:

Quote

 the reality is that your Mom is in the better place and it is us who are left behind for just a moment, and then we will be joining our loved ones. Let's not allow our pain and sense of loss to keep us from making the best of our time while here on earth for the glory of God.

Quote

So yes, smile and believe that the God who lives inside of you will fill you with the joy of the Lord

@Ken- You aren't a professional grief counselor, are you?  Because I thought you worked with orthodontic practices?  

I ask, because I find it super strange that you're on the internet advising this woman to smile through her grief, when in fact, you have no training in that area.  

As a side note, I think the fact that you and Lori vacationed your way through Lori's mother's death, kind of makes you unrelatable.  Most daughters would want to be there to comfort and support their mom (and family), but you and Lori decided to cool your heels in Door County, instead.

Again, I may be missing the mark here, but I am like 99% certain that you have no business telling a woman to smile through her grief.  

Look at it this way- maybe she actually took care of her mom, instead of treating herself to a few months of vacation.  Maybe she sat by her bedside instead of wasting time on the internet, arguing with random strangers and trying desperately to go VIRAL!!!!!!  Because of that (and the fact that unlike Lori, she actually has a soul), she may be a bit more stressed than The Viral Mentor, you know?

In conclusion, you do you (deciding whether the orthodontist should give away ice-pops), and maybe leave the grief counseling to the people who have half a clue what they are doing.  Just an idea.  You're welcome.

Well gosh, now we know why Lori was living it up in Door County while her mom was dying in faraway California. She was just making the best of her time here on earth! Totally for God's glory, y'all.

Made.me.sick.  She is the most callous, heartless, brainless woman I have ever encountered (on or off the internet).  And Ken?  Ken is a complete joke.  He's making an absolute laughingstock of himself, and their family is probably ashamed of both of them.

[louisa05]

@Koala , Ken's comment wasn't there yet when I saw it. Of course he told the woman to smile through it. What an asshole. 

I never expected Lori to offer condolences, though, so that's probably why her response still surprised me. I expected her response to be more like Ken's. Good thing he's there to pick up the slack on that one.
