Rachel Scott on WETV’s “Born to Breed”: Well, my husband is in charge … and I do believe in women submitting to men … Rachel Scott on the Joy Behar Show: I believe that my husband and I have an equal partnership. But in matters of dispute, I would say that the two of us make decisions pretty much together as team. So I think submission is misunderstood. BEHAR: So it’s not the total patriarchy that it’s painted – as in the film piece that I saw. SCOTT: I don’t believe that is total accurate depiction Full post …

Why Did She Do That?!
Rachel Scott’s crazy-making tactics on the Joy Behar Show Look, Mimi~ I’m on TV! LOL When I first received the phone call asking me to go to New York to be interviewed on the Joy Behar Show ~ I had to admit that I had no idea who Joy Behar is. “I am still pretty culturally illiterate after all my years as a fundamentalist Quiverfuller,” I explained. “We do have cable TV now, but the kids keep it tuned to the Disney Channel.” So, I can tell you all about Demi Levato, Selena Gomez, the Full post …

Shutting Off My Brain ~ Part 4
by Journey When I shut off my brain and became willing to do whatever Mark said, he was delighted. Absolutely delighted. And everything changed. Everything. The first thing he did was give me a list on how I was to clean the bathroom. I had daily chores and weekly chores from him, down to minute details. I remember the first day I followed his list. I was humiliated. It was as if I was a child again and he was the parent. I told him that, too (in a humbled and submissive way, of course) Full post …
A culture of fear built on a thousand little lies
by dogemperor My story of how I walked away from Joel’s Army–and joined the survivor community–started, quite ironically enough, with (of all things) Christian heavy metal…because, interestingly enough, it was my first major experience in how coercive groups operate by telling their members a thousand little lies to create a culture of fear.

There has to be another way!
by Vyckie Throughout my labor with Hazelle ~ yes, that long horrible, absolutely miserable 4th pregnancy and delivery ~ I kept thinking that, while I really did not want to have another c-section delivery, I wasn’t exactly excited about going through labor and delivery either. I would often say to anyone who might be listening (usually my sister, Sandy), “There’s got to be another way …” When my water broke, I was so exhausted from all the complications of that pregnancy combined with eight days of flu ~ all I wanted was to sleep. I Full post …
Christian Dominionism ~ Part 4: Erik Prince and the Ties that Bind Extremist Politics to Christian Patriarchy
by km Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 Most everyone has heard by now about the Blackwater corporation (recently renamed Xe due to bad PR) and the staggering criminal enterprise that it has perpetuated in the name of the U.S. War on Terror. Even such farcical news establishments as Fox have been unable to ignore the veritable shitstorm that has erupted in the wake of the Bush administration over Xe’s unholy alliance with the United States government. One thing that has not been widely reported, however, is Xe’s Dominionist allegiance, Full post …
“Motherhood Movement” on Fox 9 this evening
by Vyckie Tonight at 9 p.m. central time, Fox 9 news in Minneapolis will air a quiverfull news story. Investigative producer, Julie Anderson interviewed me while I was in The Cities last summer for the girls’ surgeries. She was asked to do the interview by an Indiana Fox 59 news reporter following the Carrie Chimielewski story. After asking the initial questions which were provided by the Illinois station, Julie was intrigued enough to ask if we could continue the interview with her asking a few questions of her own. I’ve been in contact with Julie Full post …
