"ok spurgie if you're mad at jinger & jeremy for the anti-choice thing then you gotta be mad at all of them bc that's what they all believe" ok well yes and no because 1. in my heart and spirit I am always mad at all these people 24/7

but 2. with the state of abortion rights in my country I actually do feel it's necessary to differentiate between the people who disagree with abortion/other issues and that's the extent of it and the people who are going out of their way to promote and fund anti-choice rhetoric, which is exactly what the Vuolos were doing

and they didn't even just make an appearance at this event and that's that, they made a point to share about it multiple times on their social media accounts, which yea imo is worse. even if you make the argument that all fundies do this in their spare time (debatable), putting it on your social media to your hundreds of thousands of followers is trying to get that much more additional support for your cause. it's throwing all of your weight behind the issue.

the fact that Jeremy and Jinger try so hard to market themselves as "modern" and "progressive" compared to where they came from just adds another layer of anger for me, especially where Jinger's concerned.

she gets to profit off of her story about escaping the control of a Christian fundamentalism while simultaneously helping the same brand of fundamentalism exert control over every woman in America, at a federal level. like whether she's too dense to see the parallels or too cowardly to confront them, i don't care. it's just awful in a way that one of her sisters use a prolife hashtag once every two years isn't.

I do not know how I feel and I don't want to watch

So from the recent interview with people Jinger admits that she laughs at the strict boundaries she followed in courtship. (Not holding hands till engagement, not kissing till the alter, etc.)

I know she’s still firm in her thoughts of saving sex for marriage, so I’m extremely curious as to what boundaries she would recommend to her own daughters/ other young Christians trying to stay pure, etc. I wonder if that’s a topic she actually goes more into in her book?

I also would love to hear the other sisters thoughts too— if they would be less strict if they could go back in time.

Fundie snarkers: I want to read Jinger's book but I don't want to give her and Jeremy my money.

This might explain why they seemed to be only in the background of all of the photos at the last wedding or two.

Yes it is so interesting how people like Jinger and Jeremy will automatically support anyone who labels themselves as Christian regardless of...... anything. Antisemitism, white nationalism, sexual assault (Trump, I'm just assuming they'd never vote for Kamala who is so openly pro-choice) etc.

Maybe it's just because they really need the numbers and will take whatever they can get, but that's also just so hard for me to believe, given that literally their entire identities are centered around their very specific belief system. I think the more likely answer is that they're so used to being exposed to white nationalist rhetoric that they don't even clock the KVD stuff as "that bad", or I can hear them saying something like it's taken out of context, or whatever. They probably follow preachers who believe worse that they can still rationalize as good people because they share core beliefs.

I feel like the same has to go for Kanye, although that one kind of baffled me at first bc the evangelicals I grew up with all worshipped Israel. But someone on here made a good point that there is definitely a separation between Israel and Jewish folks in the evangelical zeitgeist, like in the world of religion evangelicals support Jewish people if their "opponent" is of another belief system because they see the Jews as like, the next best thing compared to Christianity. But when comparing themselves to Judaism, there is definitely a feeling of superiority amongst evangelicals that can have huge antisemitic undertones, which I'm almost positive JinJer are exposed to regularly (jinger certainly was growing up, at least).

Edit: just to add I'm not trying to insinuate that all Jews support Israel. When I was in church the 2 were definitely conflated, like helping Israel is helping the Jewish people" etc but I understand now that that's not the case.

A while ago I was looking at Jinger’s follow list (no idea why) and noticed she followed Kat Von D. I was mildly amused and then immediately forgot. But I just learned that KVD publicly converted to Christianity last October and has condemned witchcraft and the occult (also yoga and nature). She’s been blacking out all of her tattoos and moved to Indiana because the BLM movement in Los Angeles made her feel unsafe.

So I went down a bit of rabbit hole and now you all have to hear about it:

Kat was sent to the same boarding school as Paris Hilton when she was a teenager and describes it as incredibly traumatic.

She says the hardest criticism for her is the accusation of being racist because (I kid you not) she’s a proud Latina. Iykyk.

After her baptism went viral she went on Allie Stuckey’s podcast.

I knew about the backlash over the Lolita lipstick for her makeup line but there was also issues over a shade called Selektion which was a German Nazi word for the selection of prisoners during WW2, her defense of this was that she actually named the very pink lipstick after a piece of artwork that she really liked. The artwork was a series of photographs of Christian, Jewish, and disabled children living in Germany in 1988??

Her current husband has faced controversy over his swastika tattoo and the fact that he maybe disowned his daughter after she “had sex” with some of his friends. The quotations are due to it being unclear if his daughter was over 18 when this occurred. He has stated that the event ruined his life and he went four years without seeing his daughter and when he did he told her that being married to Kat Von D is his good karma for surviving what she did to him.

So…. Yeah. That’s what she’s been up to.
