fuck men fuck religion

[veritas_44]

The entire point of religion is fear and control so YUP

I've never watched more than 5 minutes of their show one time and somehow from the intro I just KNEW Jinger would be the whistleblower on this BS. Or at least be the one to leave and never speak to them again.

[ishi_chan]

Is she the first one to write a book?

[yami_no_hoshi]

she's actually not the first one to leave, although I guess you can argue that Jill was kind of forced out. Jill has been on her own for a while (she's still a fundie Christian though) and she and her husband have spoken out against the family.

[blandinavian]

I think Jill might actually be slightly less fundie than Jinger atm, but they're both pretty deep in religion still, just not IBLP-level.

"There are a lot of cult-like tendencies."

Yeah because it’s a cult, dude. I would love to see Jim Bob’s reaction to this. Also, doesn’t she give Ben a shout out as the brother in law who made her start to rethink things? That’s gotta be awkward for him since Jessa remains a favoured child.

[olanda87]

I think she meant her husbands brother.

[stoppelhopser]

Good for her. Now end religion.

[ari_angelique]

Good for her :) Its hard to leave cult religions because you are tied to it by proxy with your family. :( Leaving southern baptism and calling it out was one of the best things I ever did for myself.

[ellie_andrews]

ugh i grew up southern baptist too. glad to be free of it.

[stepinsidelove]

samesies! Though I'm not that free of it. I'm my mom's caretaker and she goes to about 5 church events per week. I'll take her/drop her off/help her with the computer for her Zoom Bible study because that's what she wants to do. But I shut her down immediately when she tries to drag me into it.

[gillenvillain]

Oh man, Mormons and Catholics in my family. I'm full atheist. That did not go over well.

That said, I'm so happy to be religion free.
