Lori 65: The Demonic Agenda regarding Women

[EmmaWoodhouse]

Just popping in to say that every time I see this thread I read "the Democratic agenda against women." In my defense, Lori probably uses the two terms interchangeably...

[freealljs]

In Lori's mind, she looks good for 60, because she's thin.  So what if her hair is fried, her makeup application is not the best, her wardrobe could do with some updating (IMO). She can dish out the mean, but can't take it. What other reason would she delete comments from women who call her out for looking older than she is? 

More importantly, she doesn't hate women.  She loves women in her own way, but doesn't understand that her very words are hurtful, and thus hateful to women.  She thinks that, just because she doesn't go around spewing, "I hate women" outright, that she doesn't hate women.  She loves women so much that she wants to tell them to make changes to please their men, to make the world a better place.  If women did exactly what she said (stayed home, popped babies out, stayed thin, smiled a lot instead of have an opinion, etc), then the world would "correct" itself and everyone would want to live like it was (her American version) of the 1950s. There'd be no adultery, no poverty, no porn, no incest. no gays.  Everyone would be happy.  It'd be a utopia on earth. 

Well, that's my armchair psychology and my grad school thesis. I went to an IFB church in my teens and heard similar drivel to Lori's a lot.   It took many years to get past all that. Being date raped by the man that I was good friends with, the man who was godly (cough) and from a good (bleh) family, while in college, opened my eyes to just how shitty people like Lori are.   I'm a survivor, Lori. What are you?  I do my best to make a positive difference in this world, Lori. What about you?

Lori, we all know you read here. Lori, get off your computer, take the oranges from your tree to a domestic violence shelter. Do an act of kindness.  Stop bitching about Ken and how he is in bed. He has provided you with a roof over your head, $14 pound butter, $75 denim skirts, and $$$ for your organic foods, makeup, and doctors, despite your shitty attitude. 

Time for another Lori break.

Really, the answer to Jason Fucking Christoff is very simple. Guys (especially of his ilk) don't compliment each other's pictures because they're all afraid it will make people think they are gay. Duh, simple. Just like their minds.

[Koala]

Yep.  Lori likes and responds to all compliments (sometimes going as far as to re-share them).  All criticism is immediately deleted.

Why would I waste my time commenting negative things on people's photos? I try to use the saying "if it can't be fixed in 10 seconds, don't saying anything). Heck at my office I'm known as a ray of fucking sunshine. I like to build people up.

This may have already been shared here, but I can practically small the self-righteousness oozing off this IG post. 

Lori: "Oh woe is me, I am so Godly that I just can't help but see all of the sinful things everyone else is doing.  The life of a Godly older woman is just SO hard!"

If I hadn't been blocked from Lori's page since I suggested that Doctors have to abide by the mammography for breast cancer screening due to government guidelines, (yes, all I did was post the government information that requires doctors to recommend mammograms and was blocked - reminder for any newcomers how incredibly childish Lori can be), I would post the following today:

we have that in common...what got me banned was saying underwires do not infact cause breast cancer and they people should do their own research with vetted sources if they had a concern.  Not get their info from internet memes.

Agreed.  I I believe she made that "Youtube" last week on dressing feminine just so she could show off her wardrobe of new floral shirts so everyone could ooh and ahh over them and tell her how "pretty" she looked.

I'd love to tell her that the brand of shirts she bought can be found in quite a few department stores, not just Macy's. As well, I'd love to tell her that it's my 83 year old mother's favourite brand. My mother looks nothing like Lori; she's the image of what we used to think of when we thought of the word 'grandma.' And she looks very pretty in her flowery, feminine tops, even if they are several sizes bigger than Lori's. Too bad we're on opposite coasts and there's no danger of Lori and my mother ever coming across each other wearing the same shirt. Lori would die.

[Liza]

Lori's comments are completely uncalled for.  Yes, it is a very serious topic ... a topic that applies to all women regardless of belief system.  Notice that Sabrina is referring to rape and Lori is replying about not depriving your husband of sex.  I think she has lost her marbles.   Oh, how she would change her tune if SHE were raped.

Lori: "Oh woe is me, I am so Godly that I just can't help but see all of the sinful things everyone else is doing.  The life of a Godly older woman is just SO hard!"

"If you lose relationships trying to change others, you have lost all." and "...dawdle away their innocence on social media" quotes the woman who spends all day every day dawdling on social media trying her best to change others. Who has pushed many  people away from religion, whose oldest daughter basically RAN the moment she was old enough to do so, who couldn't be bothered to come home from vacation to support her family during her mother's final few days. Who is so vile that slowly but surely the Christian women she claims to be mentoring are disappearing from her pages, to be replaced by MRA types.

"Maintain your joy, peace and fellowship" quotes the always sour-faced woman who is always passive-aggressively insulting her children and their spouses, who posts photos of her children's friends to demonstrate "immodesty", who monitors her guests intake of the very paltry amount of food she offers on the extremely rare occasion she has guests. Who does NOT appear to still go to church and fellowship with other worshippers. Who appears to have very, very few friends.

"When light and truth are held in pride, it is destructive..." quotes the woman who is so proud she cannot see any other person's perspective on anything, and who calls herself a "Godly Older Woman" called to "mentor" younger women by trying to change them. Who implies that feeding their children non-organic food is a sin worse than starving them to death. Who thinks she alone is Godly, and all others fail to live up to her standards - which she frankly doesn't live up to either!

I mean, damn, Michael Pearl is a horrible person, but I think even HE would see that Lori is the exact opposite of what this quote from him is suggesting women should be.

The doodle today is the one on IG that I responded to a couple of days ago, commenting that the people reading this are dawdling on social media.  I'm looking at you Severine (racist) and Dee Ann Hobson (nosey Nellie always telling people what to do).

I am so sick of Lori. I just needed to say that. 

The Bible doesn't say anything about college or careers. You know why? (Well, this is FJ, you all do--but apparently Lori and her cult do not). Because there was no such thing as formalized education for the masses when the Bible was written. There were no "careers". Much of the O.T focuses on a nomadic and then agrarian culture. The N.T. is not much different, though by the time of the epistles home businesses, per se, had developed--hence Joseph was a carpenter and Paul was a tentmaker, etc.. There is not prohibition anywhere on women working in any trade. Priscilla is identified as a tentmaker alongside her husband in the book of Acts. Many other women are identified as working essentially alongside their husbands. And, indeed for much of human history until the industrial revolution, business was conducted by families, all of whom would work to make the family business operate and often essentially lived behind or above it so that they ate and breathed the work. Women weren't hiding in the back doing nothing but minding the children because the work wouldn't get done if they did. It was all hands on deck. 

There have been very few times in western history when it was economically possible for the majority of women below the upper classes to not contribute to the family income. In the early industrial era, the entire family often worked in factories. Have these people really never heard about child labor issues in the  19th Century? The U.S in the 1950s and early 60s was one of the isolated periods when a booming economy made it possible for even middle class families to survive and thrive on one income and for mothers to stay at home with children. And that time passed quickly. 

 

I just saw this same argument on FB yesterday, that "nowhere in Scripture does it tell us to raise our daughters to have college degrees and careers."

My response was:   "On the other hand, though, Scripture doesn't mention college and careers for women because during the time Scripture was written, higher education as we know it today did not exist. Also, women routinely were not educated to the extent that men were.  What happens to a woman if her husband dies suddenly and she has no skills to fall back on?"

The response I got was:  "The bible is still applicable today. It says there is nothing new under the sun and that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Paul writes to Timothy specifically about how widows should be treated, saying the family is to care for her and if they are unable, it's the job of the church. I encourage you to read it for yourself. And ?
Also, NOTHING is impossible with God! We as Christians believe God can create the heavens and earth in 6 days and send His son to die for us but we question whether he'll take care of us. Jesus said he cares for the birds, how much more will he care for us?!"

If she's going to use the argument that "nowhere in Scripture does it tell us to raise our daughters to have college degrees and careers", in order to be consistent, she has to admit that nowhere in Scripture does it tell us to raise our sons to have college degrees and careers either.

I know a man in my church who lost his wife and son in a car wreck.  That man (who was driving) and another son were in that wreck and fortunately, they survived.  (A tire blew out and their van flipped over.)  Right before the wreck, they stopped for gas and the wife suggested switching places.  He said no.  The possibility exists that he could have died if they'd wrecked while she was driving.  

I also know of a woman that used to attend my church who was widowed when her husband was killed in a car wreck.  

My point being, spouses do die suddenly.  (How many women were widowed as the result of 9/11?  Or natural disasters?  Or . . . and the list goes on.)  Apparently certain people think that if someone is a widow, it's the church's job to care for them so they can stay home.  Well, Paul also counseled younger widows to marry and have children.  

I did not respond to the person's comment because I refuse to get dragged into an argument.  I work from home to help pay back debt.  Apparently that may make me an "ungodly" woman.

Lori women still don’t have equality. Yes we can vote but studies show women make less. They start out making less than their male counter part, same job same experience and same number of hours being worked. 

Its not about being disgruntle, it’s about continuing the fight. I hate people, male or female, that thing women are equal to men. They say studies are rigged. Or they use google as an example, women make more there then men. I’m fortunate enough to work for a company where all starting salaries are the same, so are cost of living raises. I’ve worked for places where that is not the case.

I've become a big fan of Mr. Atheist lately--he hits out hard when it comes to Lori and it's a beautiful thing to watch. I keep going to his subreddit to encourage him to talk about the Rodriguii or Zsu, since he's already done several on Pope PP.

In my experience, the people who say the studies are rigged are the same people that demanded that you give hard research and not just depend on your feelings.

@ViolaSebastian that or they result to insults when they can’t prove you wrong. 

@ken kings of old had castles. Most poor people don’t have homes.

lori you shouldn’t teach women to have sex when they are in pain. You should teach women their worth. You shouldn’t teach women to submit and stay no matter what. You should teach women their worth and to get out when their is abuse. You shouldn’t shame women for taking care of their families. The Bible says nothing about women not working outside of the home but it says a lot about being idle and lazy.

[AuntKrazy]

No, Lori.  All I see is how you twist Scripture in order to pursue your hatred of women.

You are not to teach women to not deprive their husbands sexually because the way you do so is a mockery of the actual meaning of the text.

Again, with the submission, you eisegete into the text aspects that were never in the original context.

“Keepers at home” in particular is not what you interpret it to mean – in particular there is no “at” in the Greek; and that’s what you camp on and call a “mandate” for women to not go to college nor work outside the home.  You are adding to Scripture here – something we are cautioned against as the mark of those who do not know God.

And yes, you make virginity into an idol.  Idolatry is more blatantly  and frequently prohibited in Scripture than anything you continually spew forth.

And yes, women being silent in the churches is again something you take out of context and turn it into a legalistic requirement rather than a description for a specific context.

If it is the enemy that is twisting God’s commands for Biblical womanhood, then you, Lori Alexander, are chief among the enemy’s agents and advocates. 

I, and many faithful Christian women like me, have been mocked by you and your husband and banned for speaking the truth of the Bible.  You have banned countless women who have merely written Bible verses back to you.  If you want to see who does not understand Biblical womanhood, all you need do, Lori, is look in the mirror.  YOU are the wolf in sheep’s clothing that we were warned about.  YOU are the one who has been told not to teach this by Christian churches – not because they don’t like what you teach, but because what you teach is heresy.

**Warning** copious swearing ahead***

It really chaps my ass when Ken and Lori pull out the "poor people today are richer than kings of old" canard. Bullshit my asshole. Poor people are diving in dumpsters. Poor people are going without needed medical care. Poor people are begging in the streets.

So they can fuck ALLLLL the way off with that kind of bullshit. Just because "poor people" that they encounter might have a cell phone doesn't put them on a higher plane than Nebuchadnezzar.
