The Shiny, Happy People Program about Bill Gothard and the Duggar Family on Prime – Why Women Stay In These Awful Marriages and the Victim Blaming Aimed at Them by Christian Abuse Survivor Advocates

The Shiny, Happy People Program about Bill Gothard and the Duggar Family on Prime – Why Women Stay In These Awful Marriages and the Victim Blaming Aimed at Them by Christian Abuse Survivor Advocates

A few days ago, Amazon Prime made available a several program long commentary and investigation into the Duggar family (of “19 Kids and Counting” fame), as well as the teachings the Duggars followed, which were created by Bill Gothard and IBLP (Institute in Basic Life Principles) and ATI (Advanced Training Institute).

A lot of Christian parents raised their children under Gothard’s IBLP and ATI teachings, and many of them say as adults that they were damaged by those teachings.

Several of the women say when they were children or teens and worked under Gothard at his headquarters that they were sexually harassed. The show says at least one woman claims that Gothard, or his brother (I don’t recall which) raped her (the brother also worked with or for Gothard and this ATI / IBLP organization).

The purpose of my post here is not to give all the ins and outs of toxic Gothard teachings, but to note one or two aspects from the show. Before I do that, if you need or want some more background about any of this, here are a few links:

Before I get to the main point of this post – which would be “Christian abuse survivor advocates” who regularly harshly criticize Anna Duggar or women like her for staying in abusive marriages, I wanted to address one or two other issues first.

Trans Pedophile [Biological Male] Who Sexually Abused His Own Daughter, Age 7, for Warped Porn Videos is Inmate of Women’s Prison ‘Despite Still Having Penis…’

Trans Pedophile [Biological Male] Who Sexually Abused His Own Daughter, Age 7, for Warped Porn Videos is Inmate of Women’s Prison ‘Despite Still Having Penis…’

Transgenderism is not only a men’s rights movement, but it’s being used as an excuse so that any male pervert can play the “I’m a transwoman” card to get out of negative consequences for their actions, or get off much easier.

The POS in the news story below should be slowly shoved alive into a woodchipper, not housed in a prison, especially not in a women’s prison.

Also note that marriage and parenthood do not make people more godly, loving, ethical, mature, responsible, etc, as so many marriage- and parenthood- idolizing conservatives like to assume or teach.

A transgender female pedophile who filmed her [his] seven year-old daughter being sexually abused for horrific porn videos is being housed in a New Jersey women’s prison despite still having a penis, it is claimed.

Marina Volz, 34, is serving her 25 year sentence at the notorious Edna Mahan Correctional Facility alongside her [his] accomplice Ashley Romero, 30 [a biological male whose real first name is Adam], who joined in the abuse of the girl.

Volz, born a man named Matthew, is now recorded as ‘female’ in official prison records, with his presence at Edna Mahan said to be causing terror among biological women housed there.

Shockingly, Volz is even said to want to marry Romero, so they can share a cell together, Reduxx reported, after the publication spoke to other inmates there.

Volz, Romero and two others were found guilty for their roles in sexually abusing Volz’s daughter in the basement of her New Jersey home as part of a scheme to create pornographic films.

Volz, who ran a transgender fetish porn studio, took the youngster from her mother’s home in Oregon, then brought her back to New Jersey, where she was subjected to horrific sexual abuse, the details of which are too graphic to repeat.

Mother Sells Her 3 Year Old Daughter for Petty Cash for Drugs in Exchange for Letting her Perverse Drug Dealer Boyfriend Rape, Murder the Girl

Mother Sells Her 3 Year Old Daughter for Petty Cash for Drugs in Exchange for Letting her Perverse Drug Dealer Boyfriend Rape, Murder the Girl

This is (very sadly and unfortunately) not the first type of news story I’ve seen like this and that I’ve posted to this blog.

I’ve seen news stories over years past of both mothers and fathers who sell their sons or daughters off to strangers for drugs or money, so that a stranger can rape and/or murder their child, or some of them do it just for kicks and giggles. This is beyond evil. Beyond.

It’s bad enough there are people are willing and wanting to rape children, but that their own PARENT (or other family member) is the one to sell them off for that express purpose is – I don’t even have the words for it.

These types of stories infuriate me. I’d love to meet the people who do the selling and the buying and the harming of these children and rip their throats out.

I’m not “anti motherhood,” nor anti-Mother’s Day holiday, but I swear to God, so long as we have “mothers” like this one in the world,
women who are willing to sell their OWN three year old daughters to men for drug money to be raped and murdered,
my fellow conservatives can damn well shut the hell up about “honoring” and “revering” motherhood already,
and stop their bellyaching, bitching, and moaning about corporations allowing people to opt out of their Mother’s day advertising like that’s the biggest sin in the world – it’s not.

The following is an actual example of one of the biggest sins in the world:

When three-year-old Luz Maida was woken up in the middle of the night by her mother and thrust into the arms of a strange man, she could not understand what was happening.

And the truth is almost too horrifying to comprehend, as the little girl had just been sold by her mother to her drug dealer boyfriend in return for £10 worth of crack cocaine.

Chilling CCTV footage shows Luz being carried away in the early hours of Friday morning in Pedro Juan Caballero, Paraguay, by the boyfriend of her mother Aurelia Salinas, 42, before she was raped and murdered.

Heartbreaking CCTV footage shows Luz trying to escape from the clutches of Salinas’ boyfriend as he carries her away from her home.

by S. Lepore

An Oregon woman has sued an influential Buddhist monk and trusted mentor over a litany of alleged sexual offenses including rape and pressuring her to keep an unwanted pregnancy.

Dzogchen Khenpo Choga Rinpoche, who also goes by Choying Rabjam, also allegedly asked her to sit in his lap and ‘suck his tongue like a lollipop,’ echoing accusations against the Dalai Lama earlier this week.

Rachel Montgomery, now 30, has filed a lawsuit accusing him of sexual battery and sex trafficking in 2011, when she was just 19 years old.

The two met when Montgomery was a teenager who studied under him at the Dzogchen Retreat Center in Eugene.

Montgomery alleges that Choga, as he is known, would continuously use their student-teacher relationship to make unwanted sexual advances, eventually allegedly raping her inside a Buddhist temple when she was 21.

She also claims that Choga, now 58, pressured her to get drunk before he sexually to the point where she was ‘barely conscious’ when he assaulted her and ordered her to, much like the Dalai Lama asked a child to do, suck his tongue for ‘tantric empowerment.’

‘I feel like Buddhism was weaponized to take advantage of me,’ Montgomery said to The Daily Beast. ‘I don’t want to say that it gets weaponized for everyone. But for me, it was weaponized.’

The Church’s Problem: Pornification of Christian Sex by Sarah McDugal

(Link): The Church’s problem: Pornification of Christian sex

Excerpts:

by Sarah McDugal

As I’ve observed the firestorm of Josh Butler’s hotly debated article in The Gospel Coalition, “Sex Won’t Save You (But it Points to One who Will),” I was left with so many questions. Indeed, in what universe did a book describing the vagina as a Most Holy Place get labeled the “Protestant magnum opus on sexual ethics we’ve been waiting for”?

The now withdrawn article reflects a pervasive problem within the church: pornification of Christian sex.

Hyper-spiritualizing sex is no guarantee of getting it right. In fact, doing so might actually be a guarantee of getting it wrong. We make the same mistake as secular society when we frame sex as the endgame of intimacy. Salvation is better than sex; it is based on God’s work, not ours; it is received by faith, not by feeling; it is secured by Christ’s blood, not our bodies; it is expressed by love, not lust; it is fulfilled by resurrection, not orgasm.

… Why do so many Christian male authors idolize gratification instead of recognizing that the best sexual pleasure is the fruit of intimacy that is already established outside the bedroom? Real oneness is the friendship, companionship, commitment, and safety of two people merging lives

Famous Social Media Rabbi Charged With Raping One of His Several Adopted Sons, Molesting Others, While He Raised Them as a Single Dad

Famous Social Media Rabbi Charged With Raping One of His Several Adopted Sons, Molesting Others, While He Raised Then as a Single Dad

Have to point out that not all single adults are pedophiles or horn dogs. There are married people who rape or molest children, or who commit adultery – I have many examples of such on my blog.

Don’t automatically assume that any and every unmarried man who works around children is diddling the children.

This guy also supposedly faked having health problems in order to sucker people, manipulate them, and get pity from people, and I imagine he faked sickness so nobody would be as apt to suspect he was a child molester.

I’ve written a blog post or two before warning people, especially anyone who is very…

• empathetic,
• caring,
• a people pleaser,
• a codependent,
• someone with
• Emotional dependency, and/or who has
• Dependent personality disorder,

to be aware of the fact that there are child molesters, and people with personality disorders such as sociopathy, NPD (pathological narcissism), and psychopathy, who will not hesitate to exploit your empathy and warm nature to use those positive qualities against you, or to manipulate you into lowering your boundaries or not investigating them too closely.

Also note that contra most conservative propaganda about parenthood, that being a parent did not make this man any less of a pervert, or any more loving, responsible, caring, or ethical.

March 7, 2023
by Lee Brown

A phony Hasidic dad who found social-media acclaim for adopting nine boys has been charged with sexually abusing most of them — while out on bond in an earlier child sex case, according to disturbing reports.

Single dad Hayim Nissim Cohen, 38, regularly blogged about his “unique family” in Houston, gaining nearly 200,000 followers on TikTok.

But “behind all that is excessive abuse,” local prosecutor Janna Oswald told a recent court hearing, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Cohen — who claimed to be a Hasidic Jew from Brooklyn despite being born Jeffrey Lujan Vejil in the Lone Star State — was busted last month after one of his sons went on a podcast to anonymously report being raped and abused, the local paper noted.

The terrified 17-year-old boy told BlindSkinnedBeauty that he’d been sexually assaulted since he was 11 — weeks after his adoption — and claimed many of his brothers were also abused.

Married Pastor Allegedly Drugged, Raped Married Parishioner (who was not his wife) He Promised ‘Spiritual Revival’

Married Pastor Allegedly Drugged, Raped Married Parishioner (who was not his wife) He Promised ‘Spiritual Revival’

Did being married make this pastor more loving, ethical, sexually pure or godly? Nope.

Did being married protect the woman in this news story, make her any safer? Nope.

We have here a married woman who was allegedly raped by a married man who works as a church preacher.

So, my fellow conservatives out there, both religious and secular, can stop trying to argue against anti-marriage rhetoric by the left by making such bogus claims (that marriage “improves” culture or makes people more responsible, mature, loving) – which they do. I was brought up in evangelical culture, in the Southern Baptist Church, and such propaganda is common, even now.

Conservatives mistakenly think that the way to “own the libs” and defeat anti-Nuclear Family, anti-natalism rhetoric from the left is to double down on marriage, parenthood, etc, and shame or fear monger any single, celibate adults into getting married, and to try to convince women that motherhood – not career or education – is in their best interest. It is a wrong and ridiculous strategy.

“Trans rights” is a men’s rights movement that comes at the expense of biological girls and women, and it’s promoted by many liberals and all progressives – not just in the United States but around the world.

This is an absolute disgrace. No man, no matter how he identifies, should be stationed in women’s prisons.

A female prisoner today warns of the dangers of putting transgender inmates in women’s jails after she was sexually assaulted by a paedophile rapist behind bars.

Laura Goldsmith, 38, revealed how she fell prey to notorious sex offender Karen White in HMP New Hall in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.

In chilling echoes of the shocking case of transgender double rapist Isla Bryson being placed in an all-female jail in Scotland, Laura told how White was allowed to carry out a campaign of abuse in plain sight after being placed in the jail despite not having surgery and boasted how she was not having hormone treatment.

White was a convicted paedophile and serial sex offender on remand for grievous bodily harm.

White went on to be jailed for life after sexually assaulting two inmates at New Hall.

…Now Laura has come forward to reveal she too was a victim of the fiend when she was sent to the prison in February 2017 after being sentenced to 28 months for commercial burglary offences.

Laura told how she had been battling drug addiction and was ‘frail and vulnerable’ when White, 57, pounced after targeting her in the exercise yard.

Laura said White attacked her as she was sitting on a bench in the exercise yard one Saturday afternoon.

Laura, who is 5ft 3ins tall and weighed just seven stone, told how she was quickly intimidated by White’s presence.

She said: ‘She was very sleazy and forward. She tried to befriend me for two minutes – then came straight out with a sexual assault.

Feb 17, 2023

A doctor in Ohio has had his license suspended after he was accused of tricking patients to come to his home for ultrasounds and examinations of their testicles [which he performed with his bare hands, according to other news articles about this story], some of which he filmed, officials said.

The State Medical Board of Ohio accused Rudel Anton Saunders of malpractice in a Feb. 8 letter. Saunders was a resident in training at UC Health, a spokesperson told McClatchy News, but he is no longer affiliated with the University of Cincinnati.

Saunders’ profile and contact information has been removed from The University of Cincinnati website. He declined to provide a comment when reached by WXIX.

The board alleges Saunders lied to his patients by saying he was required to conduct ultrasound exams for a training program.

 A woman residing illegally in the United States pleaded guilty this week before a federal judge to sex trafficking involving the use of force, fraud, or coercion of both adult and minor females. The victims were forced to perform commercial sex acts in a cantina in Houston

I do not have empathy for people in the United States who get into the nation illegally (that comment is NOT applicable to people sex trafficked or labor trafficked into the USA – I do have empathy for young people who are tricked or trafficked into the USA; they get here illegally, but they are being exploited by others into free labor or into being prostituted).

But stories like the one you see below is one reason of several why I do NOT support illegal immigrants (aside from the sex trafficked ones, etc), and I have no patience for the bleeding heart Democrats, ex-Trumpers (like Melody Kay Young),
Stephanie Drury and 99% of goons at her “Stuff Christian Culture Likes” Facebook group and other progressives,
who support illegal migrants and illegal immigration – such bleeding hearts are actually supporting not only negative ramifications for the United States, but they are supporting sex trafficking.

If I have the time and energy, I’ve been intending on writing a more in-depth, comprehensive post on this blog about the breakdown of the American borders and the influx of illegal aliens (the southern border has been bad, but I’ve read recent news reports that migrants are now sneaking into the nation via the northern border too).

It absolutely infuriates me to see the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens pour into our nation – and the cherry on top is that the Democrats host these migrant idiots (some of whom are ingrates) in fancy hotels and so on.

Some of these illegals are rapists, child molesters, or are on the terror watch list. I do not want any of these criminals who are human trash in the United States.

And the Democrats don’t care. (The Republicans haven’t done near enough to stop this, either.) But the Democrats seem way more lax and accepting of illegal immigration than the Republicans.

HOUSTON, Texas — A woman residing illegally in the United States pleaded guilty this week before a federal judge to sex trafficking involving the use of force, fraud, or coercion of both adult and minor females. The victims were forced to perform commercial sex acts in a cantina in Houston.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas announced that Maria Botello-Morales, a 56-year-old woman residing illegally in Houston, appeared before a federal judge and pleaded guilty to several sex trafficking crimes, according to a statement obtained from U.S. Attorney Alamdar S. Hamdani.

The crimes included the use of force, fraud, or coercion to induce at least two adult women and a 17-year-old minor female from Mexico to have sex with customers at the Puerto Alegre cantina in Houston.

Spain Decriminalizes Sexual Relations with Animals as Long as There is No Physical Injury that Requires a Veterinary Visit

Spain Decriminalizes Sexual Relations with Animals as Long as There is No Physical Injury that Requires a Veterinary Visit

So, Spain is legalizing animal abuse. Any person that has sex with an animal should be put to death immediately by the state (or the state should permit everyday citizens to put them to death – let them form mobs with pitch forks, for instance).

Governments should not be protecting this deviant behavior, this form of animal cruelty.

My fellow conservatives should probably be way less concerned with criticizing single, childless women for being happy about being single and childless and more so with obvious sexual sin and deviancy, such as nations legalizing animal sexual abuse.

(Link): Spain decriminalizes sexual relations with animals as long as there is no physical injury that requires a veterinary visit

by Mister Retrops

In case you didn’t think the world was sinking low enough with all the gender/pedophilia craziness, I give you Spain’s new Animal Welfare Law that decriminalizes having sex with animals because zoophiles are just another spectrum on the trans flag.

Here’s a link to a zoophilia march [their link does not work – this alternative video link, on You Tube, appears to show one such march] in Germany if you’re a moral human being having trouble believing this is a thing. It’s age-restricted on Youtube, so I’m not going to embed it here.

The Spanish zoophilia-affirming law was pushed by Ione Belarra Urteaga, the Minister of Social Rights and 2030 Agenda.

Now, let’s pause a moment and think about that. There’s an actual ministry of the Spanish federal government with the words “2030 Agenda” in its official title.

In addition to championing human/animal love the 2030 Agenda ministry also oversees family affairs, minors protection, disability and prevention of youth crime, adoptions and foster care, and the promotion of cultural communication and youth association.

You’ll note that there’s nothing climate related in the list, and it’s mostly related to children.

But back to the topic at hand: what exactly is in the new Spanish Animal Welfare Law that’s so problematic?
