Like a fuckin’ sick onion.
The more layers peeled off, the more disgusting it gets.

I have no sympathy for her, personally.
She’s just as culpable as her asshole husband for covering up what their son was doing.

The Akron Beacon Journal published a series of articles on the inner doings of the Ernest Angley televangelist empire. I don’t have a link, but googling his name will give the link at ohio.com. Same brainwashing syndrome of familys, labor exploitation, abuse of the tax code.

Reading this whole article, I am reminded once more how awful females are treated and how lowly they are regarded. Then I read the part about the recent televised interview Megyn Kelly had with Ma and Pa Duggar and two of the sisters that Josh violated. Considering how this cult really drives home how all assaults are almost always perpetrated at least in part due to how the girl/woman dresses, it struck me about how Megyn Kelly dresses and made me wonder if (goddess or dawg forbid) anything ever happened to this family’s good friend and moral defender Megyn Kelly … would these same cult members be very comforting to her? Would they say something like, “Oh, Megyn, have you sought God’s forgiveness for your very large role you played in this attack? – Because, Megyn, you do dress so very provocatively all the time, those men folk just can’t always control their urges to, you know, release all that God-lovin’ energy seed. They gotta release it when those urges hit – and your sexy way of dressing, with those long luscious legs and your bottle-bleach blonde hair and those painted up glossy lips … well, Megyn, you’re just asking for sex attention.”
Based upon the cult teachings these people follow and hand down to their children as “values,” I can only imagine this is how they might respond to something so awful that (again, dawg and goddess forbid) could happen to their dear friend and morality defender Megyn Kelly.

Magda and Joseph Goebbels had many fewer children than the Duggars, of course; all the girls were named after Wagner’s Valkyries, more inventive than the Duggar children names. However, there are more Duggar girls than Wagner named Valkyries!

Angley also had/has the cheapest toupees on the planet.

Once upon a time, it was The Learning Channel, and it aired many good series and one-time documentarys from which you could. Somewhere along the way, executives determined that more profit could be pandered from “reality” series, so here we are. TLC now means just TLC.
The same can be said about the Discovery, History, and National Geographic channels.

True.
But if she’s been abused by the asshole for so many years, she can’t think straight anymore.
They are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Discovery Channel is now financially partnered with TLC. Look how the programming has changed at NatGeo corresponding with corporate ownership change,

And so remembering, why many people cringe when it is casually used.

Yes. Your article embeds a link to the original series.
Agreed; certainly the worst fitting.

Congresswoman Jackie Speier was there too. She was Ryan’s aide. A strange period of time. Vivid in my memories.

In their fundie world, the Quiverful movement, having a child is a sign of God’s blessing. Therefore, the more children you have the more it demonstrates God’s blessings on you. Yes, it really is that simple-minded. The ugly flip side is that couples who can’t have children obviously are not making God happy, and he is withholding children from them.
Would someone PLEASE tell me why THIS is a LEAD STORY? (AGAIN!)
J wonder why they think being religious can overcome hormones. It doesn’t work for ministers, priests. rabbis, religious counselors and anybody else connected to a religion. Suppression leads to more acting out later on.
No, I haven’t forgotten Ryan who went there at the behest of the families who remained here whose loved ones had been lured to Jonestown. As someone else wrote in a reply, the good that came out of this tragedy, almost like a phoenix rising from the ashes, was that Ryan’s aide Jackie Speier went on to become a solid Democratic member of Congress from the SF Bay Area and still is in the House…
Mayor Moscone and Supervisor Milk were killed days later by homophobic Dan White, and Dianne Feinstein who was president of the Board of Supervisors replaced Moscone. It seems like it happened yesterday.

It is mind boggling that adults in the 21st century believe the “gift from on high” drivel.
