Sunday Morning

Sunday morning I like Sunday, Sunday morning...

I like the Quakers, too..they lead a simple life and make awesome furniture...and religion intrigues me...all the things people believe in to get them through the day and mess with yours...

but this Christian Patriarch Movement is very curious indeed...so I ordered a book by Kathryn Joyce...a fascinating introduction to the world of the patriarchy movement and Quiverfull families that examines the twenty-first-century women and men who proclaim self-sacrifice and submission as model virtues of womanhood—and as modes of warfare on behalf of Christ. Here, women live within stringently enforced doctrines of wifely submission and male dominnance....

hmmmmm....hmmmm...naw, submissive chicks are so boring..and stoopid

Journalist Joyce has conducted a groundbreaking investigation of a little-known movement among Christian evangelicals that rejects birth control and encourages couples to have as many children as possible. The movement, which takes its name from a verse in Psalm 127, advocates a retreat from society and a rejection of government policies that encourage equal rights for women, pregnancy prevention and an individualistic ethic. Quiverfull families share with more mainline Protestant groups, such as the Southern Baptist Convention, a belief that wives should submit to their husbands. But the group goes further by insisting that children be homeschooled and daughters forgo a college education in favor of early marriage and childbearing. The book probes a San Antonio–based ministry called Vision Forum, which began as a Christian homeschooling resource and now promotes "biblical patriarchy" through seminars and retreats. Members of the movement use militaristic metaphors and see themselves waging a war to win back the culture and rescue American society

Andy's new book "A Guide to Inbreeding" is
available from Ampersand Publishing

 

I'll read the book when I get it but it touches on the Vision Forum which ironically was part of the previous Dugger post... "and The Duggar family are friends and acolytes of Phillips, and Vision Forum, in turn, has used Michelle Duggar in their efforts to demonize contraception, including giving her an award for "Mother of the Year" for having so many children."

locally we got Lucy's pals, the Believer's Edge group and News-Press buffoon-religious fundamentalist and home-schooler Andy Caldwell promoting this type of nonsense...basically, these types of men are so insecure, they need to try to make everyone subservient to them...

and more Josh Duggar craziness..he had to cancel a speaking engagement at a home-schooling event in Sandusky, Ohio!! SANDUSKY!! geez

home schooling robs a kid of the needed social integration so the parent retains control, never allowing the kid to grow....to think for himself... or herself...

"The movement, which takes its name from a verse in Psalm 127, advocates a retreat from society"... that's why we should cherish SBJH and SBHS and local public schools

oooowww, it's a very sick subculture of religious fanatics with vacant eyes...

real fathers and real men don't need to control every aspect of their children's lives...as kids grow, they need to make their own mistakes and learn their own lessons, not be force-fed religious dogma

but don't worry Josh...Wendy and the Young Miss America Foundation will book you at the Reagan Ranch Center Roundtable luncheon...

the least you could do is learn to build some cool chairs or something...
