Safe at Home 5: Something Happened in Arndtland and It's Finger Lickin' Good!

Years ago I read an exposé on Opus Dei -- this does not surprise me one bit.  Also, if family with 10 kids is wealthy and influential, all the better in the eyes of Opus Dei.  

I'm especially interested in Opus Dei these days because I sense they may be extremely influential in the in the upper echelons of government in the current political climate. However, they are extremely secretive about who is a member, so one hears very little about them.

I thought most of Trump's inner circle was protestant evangelical but apparently not.

There are numerous scarily conservative Catholics in the Trump admin, and as we know, they can be as whacky and out there as the worst of the fundy crowd, but with similar agendas.

Oh no, did we miss Paul's 40th birthday? It was the 13th. Any pics in the bedroom with Cathy and Rick? 

I checked out Dad's live on Paul's birthday, which took place with the Fam in the living room, but didn't catch any mention of it.  I may have missed it, but more likely they retreated to the master bedroom for the ceremonies after the live.  They haven't been sharing festivities with us in recent years.  Maybe one of the more hip manboys clued in Mom and Dad that the rest of the world thinks it's weird for middle aged people to be served birthday cake on their parents' bed.

I guess better they don't procreate and spread their message to the next generation.

We need Arndt-Maxwell courtships stat. The Maxwell girls are used to living in a cult-compound, the Arndt's seem to support education and hobbies, they will get better (altho weird AF) birthdays. The Arndts will get women.  Win-win!

If the Arndts raid the Maxwell compound and take maidens as their own, it may spice up the Moody story lines. Captured and raveged with the Moodys?

Seven Brides for Seven Arndts.

Perhaps the avalanche scene could be staged in Colorado on a 14'er, in order to keep the Maxwell women in familiar territory.

There’s officially been some relationship movement in Arndt land! Luke appears to have a girlfriend...I’ve watched on/off Rick’s videos and often I would see a girl around Luke. In today’s video, they definitely hold hands, and later on he puts his arm around her lower back while they sit on the couch. I’m surprised tbh that Rick keeps the camera on them for as long as he does. 

2020 has been some year...and as I know we have discussed here before, I’m sure it’s only a matter of time for the other guys, if things haven’t happened already and are just behind the scenes.

Finally! If this turns into a wedding, I think there will be more in the next few years. My theory was always that once the floodgates were opened with one marriage, others would follow. And of course its Luke. He would have been my guess as to the first. Because he’s so outgoing and good looking.

Here is screenshot with his hand On her *gasp* hip.

I really do think the guys have dated a little more than most of us think. Maybe not many of them, but someone like Luke for sure (a guy who looks like he does, well there’s just way he’s not getting approached constantly at weddings...).

But who IS she? Does she like penguins? If they get married, will she have enough bridesmaids for the groomsmen? She doesn’t look thrilled in that pic.

OH. MY. GAWD!  This is YUGE.  *pulls own hair, screams, faints!*

Not too thrilled about the man spreading brother on the other end of the couch!

Maybe she's being briefed on the rules and structure of the Arndt borg and what it means to be "Safe at Home."  Thought balloons: "Mom Kathy popped out HOW MANY KIDS?"  "Penguins?"  "Will we have our own room after we get married?"

How old is Luke?

Wow ? ??? this is MAJOR. 2020 keeps throwing curveballs. I could actually get behind this change as opposed to the other nonsense this year has wrought.

To be honest they all look a little "Who let you into the house?".

No one could convince me earlier in the thread that Luke has never gone on at least one date. Look at the man. Good Christian girls probably threw themselves at him.

The video was basically like a home church meeting. There was some music played at times and when the picture was taken, they were listening to religious talk. Most “church faces” look like that.

So will the first Arndt wedding be the next big event to cause problems for the Free jinger server?

I’d love a few to be dating/engaged and they could outwedding the Bontragers! I was excited to come here and actually see something new! Yay Luke!

She looks a lot younger than Luke doesn't she? Hard to tell from just a screenshot. I wonder if she's considered "chewed gum" in their theological circle and this is her one chance for a headship.

I suspect there have been lots of short-term relationships for the Arndt boys/men but the women have all backed away when they realized just how weird and enmeshed the family is. Cathy could come across as the MIL-from-hell.

Some thoughts:

Regarding the gf...I don’t think she wants to be on camera (maybe a bit shy or uncomfortable) and tbh I would look the same if not worse if the camera was on me like that.

I do wonder how this gal will feel about living on Arndt land and basically being brought into the fold. To quote The Mandalorian “it is the way.”

It seems at this point what would be even bigger news, is which Arndt(s), if any, will move off compound. Or which, if any, end up working at a job that isn’t a family affair. And to the David turning 18 thing, I do seriously wonder if most of the older boys were so wrapped up in caring for and entertaining the under age (at the time) siblings that the oldest basically let their entire 20’s years of dating pass them by.

      I love baseball but I'm dreading the new season because the White Sox ownership is THE FUCKING WORST. I watched Dominican League Baseball (Lidom!) over the winter and fell in love with their joy, spirit, and exuberance. The broadcasts were in Spanish and my Spanish is pretty weak but I loved catching phrases and repeating them. Bombe! I'm sad about MLB and Commissioner Idiota's busywork rules. But I love baseball, always and forever.
      I guess I don't have a point. Just bitching. Te amo mucho, Lidom!

      Happy International Women's Day!

      Humanity may have some work to do, to improve gender equality, but I was glad to hear that France has taken an important step to protect healthcare for women (and people of other genders who can get pregnant). 
      (The links are just to a UN page and the AP News.)
      Anyhow, love to y'all!

      Feeling ragey this morning. I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon in the hope of getting help for an ongoing injury. I went to a (different!!) doctor late last year who completely blew me off. He wouldn't do diagnostic testin, he refused to send me to a specialist, and he just told me to "take it easy" and "take ibuprofen." I'm hopeful for today's appointment but I'm also feeling a SEVERE amount of rage at that doctor from last year!

      Well, the rash is back with a vengeance. It never completely cleared up. I saw the derm yesterday and they did another swab and yup, raging infection again, still? It is definitely strep skin infection. I am getting so damn tired and run down from this. Who the f would immagine being hospitalized freaking TWICE for a rash?

      My niece is going to be a seat filler at this year's Academy Awards.  Seat fillers are asked to wear tuxedos regardless of sex/gender.  If you see a pretty young woman with very curly hair, it could be my niece.

      It’s not supposed to be mosquito season right now but I still appear to have been bitten twice on the side of my foot. Bastards. I know I shouldn’t scratch but it’s so tempting… 😑
