They don’t really have a relationship with Jinger…. “Reality” tv creates a false sense of intimacy
@daniiiakasha471114 минут бұрын
I used to work as a caregiver for elderly in their homes. I cared for a 93 year old man who was twice widowed and a great-great grandfather (his grandchildren had grandchildren) and he actually signed up for Christian Mingle. He got dressed up in a suit jacket and collared shirt and had me help him take his picture and upload it, because while he figured out how to fill out the profile, he didn’t know how to upload photos. He never got dates though 😢. He really wanted to find wife number 3. He passed about a year later.

God brought my husband and I together wren neither of us were looking. We met thru his sister at church in May 99. We were together 22 years & married 19 years when he passed away in April 2021. As a widow with kids , it's a different world to navigate now .. I know God is opening my heart to the possibility of another story but it's overwhelming 25 years later...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If relationships are based mainly on appearance, there is something missing that needs to be recognized and acknowledged to keep that relationship real. It's so much deeper than just looks and personality.

Its interesting that you guys are able to comment on some of the negatives of purity culture yet a lot of your current beliefs are heavily entrenched in purity culture. You discount the theory that people lose pieces of their heart while in relationships, but still believe we do irreparably lose pieces of ourselves from sexual encounters. You’re so entrenched in purity culture that you can’t see purity culture while you’re critiquing it.

As a rape victim, I was pushed away from my church as damaged goods and blamed for my rape due to purity culture, and the idea that men have no agency over their sexuality. I was told that my only value to the church was to be a wife, and that no honorable man would be my husband now unless it was a charity case. I am happy you are talking about this. This type of culture can't stand in Christian church anymore without severely harming its members.

My goodness! I am so incredibly sorry all this happened to you. There's no such as "damaged goods" in God's world. He is a redeeming God. Also you were wronged. I agree with you that we need more of a shift to male responsibility. Also no one is owed a virgin. Only having sex within the covenant of marriage should be done primarily to honour God. It is not something a spouse is owed. I'm so sorry anyone ever told you you were worth less than a "virgin bride", I say this as someone who was. You were wronged, and should have been given grace not judgement.

What I taught my now 23-year-old daughter, I taught her how valuable she was as a woman. And how valuable the bodyguard gave her was and is. But I also let her know rather waiting for marriage or not that was a her decision between herself and the Lord. It had absolutely nothing to do with me as her parent she wanted to wait until she was married that had to be her decision and her choice not mine I taught her and gave her different things to do and say for instance when she was in a long-term high school relationship to take a break when she felt like things were getting too close if she wanted to wait. We are human beings and that attraction and those things come natural sex is natural and normal. there’s nothing wrong with you or your boyfriend for wanting that but if you’re wanting to wait and it starts to feel like things are getting where it could happen go hang out with friends for a few days and let things calm back down again. I also taught her how to be safe to protect herself from getting an STD or getting pregnant should she choose not to wait. But I believe that is a very personal decision between the young Christian woman and man and the Lord. I also gave her the benefits of waiting for marriage and the idea that it is a very special thing to know that you and your husband have only been with each other for their whole life which is really cool I think not end of the world if that’s not the case. I explained the strong chemistry between a man and a woman and that maybe she didn’t wanna wait and that’s OK too that also has some benefits as in you know that you in that person work in the bedroom.

I saw the purity culture as the parents way to fight against the impact AIDS was having on our communities. People seem to have amnesia about how freaked out they were about it. As a results schools began to teach about safer sex and how to use contraception. Many evangelicals/conservatives were in uproar about it, and the purity culture was born….and I do believe Elizabeth Elliot’s book contributed to this. Also Jinger talks about giving part of their heart away to people they talked too….this was an extreme reaction. AIDS education taught that every person you have sex with you now have had sex with each one of their partners. A lot of extreme reactions in that time.

If people were doing something they weren’t supposed to I never saw or knew about it! We called it dating if we went out and our focus was on discipleship- not purity! It was just a given that you wait until marriage to become physical! I think maybe this purity culture focused too much on physical things snd not spiritual! At least that’s my take on it!

I discovered 19 Kids and Counting in Prison while serving a life sentence for my far right Christian beliefs. I immediately fell in love with the show. I don't watch much TV but I immediately fell in love with 19 Kids and Counting and watched it literally everyday. I experienced a little miracle and I am now out, and I abandoned my old extreme religious beliefs. I am so happy to see you guys and some of the other Duggards have come to realize that there are many very terrible religious beliefs that are very harmful and oppressive while disguised as righteousness. The Lord saved me first. But in prison it was tons of reading, learning with a open mind educating myself that saved me this second time around.

Did or do the women the boys are interested in go through the same scrutiny by JB? With so many of the Duggar boys grown and married I've wondered how it works on the other side and if their wives went through 50 pages or is purity only important for his daughters?

Thank you. Yes, finding a balance is the key, and following God, and community. With the last one I dated(first relationship after my widowhood) he appeared to be following God, but later I found so much inconsistency with that. Community was one life-saver; my parents expressed their concerns but ultimately let me make my own decision. When I was dating my now late-husband, my parents said they like him, they would welcome him to the family, they would be sad to lose him. "But no pressure. The decision is yours because you would have to live with him". Also, I know you probably cherish how you were each other's first kiss and everything else. The only way you touched on boundaries is how a dating couple need to avoid spending lots of hours alone in one of your homes. Which I agree. I hope someday you and your siblings, as well as your friends the Bates, would have a panel discussion, where you weigh the pros and cons of saving the first kiss, or choosing to kiss before marriage.(and at what point in the relationship the first kiss is) One thing about my most recent ex, he agreed to a token amount of hanging out with others; whether family, church friends, or other friends, but he didn't really value it, and he would stand me up at church and when we had plans to get together with others.(or call in "sick") So, let's keep talking about it. Blessings on you today

Hi! I grew up in the purity culture as well. This is off this topic though, but I have a friend who left the faith altogether. We were listening to a podcast you were on, but not this one. Jeremy was in essence discussing the toxicity of the faith Jinger was brought up in as it shouldn't be fear based (or something to that effect). My friend mentioned to me that you all are STILL in a toxic, fear-based faith and it can't be sugar-coated. As long as there is a belief that hell exists, a place of eternal torture and damnation, then acceptance of Jesus isn't based on His love but rather the fear of what happens if we don't. The message is that he is all forgiving...until! She told me in no other context in our earthly life would this premise for a true loving relationship be acceptable. If my daughter told me she met this amazing man and he promised all sorts of good things as long as she loved him...but then threatened if she did not...he would torture her ...any wise person would tell my daughter that is NOT love and to run for the hills. I could not disagree with her. Can you explain your stance on that? By the way, I have to admit, my now non-religious friend (15 years away from the church) is an outstanding, loving, and compassionate person (and flies in the face of what my church told me about people like her i.e. "wicked"). I can't possibly imagine her suffering for eternity in damnation for being truthful about her thoughts and living authentically.

Well as compassionate as your friend may be, she is living in pride and is dead in her sin (Ephesians 2). Even the “most compassionate” person on the face of the earth is a sinner. No person has ever lived a sinless life except Jesus Christ. My love for Jesus does not come from fear of going to hell, but the overwhelming gratitude of knowing that He allowed Himself to be nailed to a cross and tortured to death in order to pay the price for MY sin. Romans 6:23 says the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. He did that FOR US. That is the purest love imaginable. 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear . . . . Praying that your friend is able to see the truth of God’s love and the beauty of his sacrifice for us

@@ashleys1391 She would say to that....she did not ask to be born and that she, and everybody else who is born, is probably just trying to navigate a very complicated and sometimes painful world the best she can. Also, there is no sin that she has committed that warrants somebody needing to be tortured on the cross for her or anybody else. It is all very messed up unless you are indoctrinated with that belief as she, you, and I have been. Nobody deserves eternal damnation for doing the best they can and living compassionately. She says, your belief in Jesus is likely because of where you were born. If you were born in the Middle East, you'd be Muslim...also damned because you are believing the wrong thing.

My purity culture was similar but different! I was born in 99” in a Canadian Catholic household. I was taught if you have sex before marriage, you’d burn in hell, you were evil, etc. But when I got to high school and started going to baptist and christian youth groups with my friends- they moreso taught a more lenient version of it, which I appreciated. I wish my generation (gen z) took sex more seriously, however purity culture also really messed my mind up when I ended up not marrying the person I “lost it” with. I had such deep shame in my teens & early twenties. I wish someone taught me that virginity was a gift and not this evil thing I had to protect

No it's not reading its listening to it. but it doesn't matter. Reading lets you put your own emphasis on it and your own meaning. To me it's also more relaxing and immersive as you can only be completely engaged in that one act of reading the book. It also helps kids broaden their spelling and vocabulary but that's a different thing I guess. But audiobooks are so much more convenient. Both are good in the right setting.

My niece´s husband in Vermont became a "pastor" after the age of 35. He said "God spoke to me...." He´s started a FUNDAMENTALIST church where they don´t believe in evolution but "fire and brimstone" about sinning and going to hell. They have a combined 6 kids and the only boy is from my niece´s "fling" before so he´s the boys stepfather. Together they have 5 daughters. My niece must "submit" to her husband and they´ve already started sending the kids to "Bible Camp". I was her favorite Uncle (and openly gay) but now she has rejected me and my husband. Of course, we´re all just waiting for the "scandal" to come from this "church"....as always happens in these situations. Of course, her husband says my niece must home school the kids. I hope she makes it out alive.

And how each petal was a part of the young girls heart and each time she gave her heart away and got hurt a piece of of her heart would fall off the rose. And by the time she got to the altar. There was nothing left to give her husband. And the guys were feeling very sad has they hurt the girl. And how not to hurt them or even themselves.

She says, your belief in Jesus is likely because of where you were born. If you were born in the Middle East, you'd be Muslim...also damned because you are believing the wrong thing.
I enjoy your videos,however, could you make them closer to 30 minutes? I find some of your dialogue repetative and, Jeremy, a little preachy at times, just sayin'. I think content is interesting most days. Also, a little too much jumping around topic to another topic and back again. Please just think about it. Thanks for hearing me. Take care.
Hello from NC
My purity culture was similar but different! I was born in 99” in a Canadian Catholic household. I was taught if you have sex before marriage, you’d burn in hell, you were evil, etc. But when I got to high school and started going to baptist and christian youth groups with my friends- they moreso taught a more lenient version of it, which I appreciated. I wish my generation (gen z) took sex more seriously, however purity culture also really messed my mind up when I ended up not marrying the person I “lost it” with. I had such deep shame in my teens & early twenties. I wish someone taught me that virginity was a gift and not this evil thing I had to protect
No it's not reading its listening to it. but it doesn't matter. Reading lets you put your own emphasis on it and your own meaning. To me it's also more relaxing and immersive as you can only be completely engaged in that one act of reading the book. It also helps kids broaden their spelling and vocabulary but that's a different thing I guess. But audiobooks are so much more convenient. Both are good in the right setting.
I love how Jeremy can pull chapter/verse but speaks on them from the heart, not the letter.
Thank you 😊
Absolutely awesome advice on the standards of beauty. It in itself is beautiful. Thanks you two❤
I sure hope your use of the word Weird in this podcast, is not an inside joke to say you support Harris/Walz.
I hope it is!
Are you serious?! So that word belongs to that campaign!? You all find all kinds of ways to interject politics into any and every conversation! Geeze🙄
Not every damn thing has a connection to politics. Goodness me, sounds like you need to take a break from watching Fox News.
My niece´s husband in Vermont became a "pastor" after the age of 35. He said "God spoke to me...." He´s started a FUNDAMENTALIST church where they don´t believe in evolution but "fire and brimstone" about sinning and going to hell. They have a combined 6 kids and the only boy is from my niece´s "fling" before so he´s the boys stepfather. Together they have 5 daughters. My niece must "submit" to her husband and they´ve already started sending the kids to "Bible Camp". I was her favorite Uncle (and openly gay) but now she has rejected me and my husband. Of course, we´re all just waiting for the "scandal" to come from this "church"....as always happens in these situations. Of course, her husband says my niece must home school the kids. I hope she makes it out alive.
@7:35 purity culture goes wrong when it starts to get weird....LOL. Great conversation.
My Mom just showed me a picture on her phone, a license plate that says "Maga" on a SUV!😂
That's me! I've been watching for a long time. Jinger was my favorite because we are the same age (two weeks apart), both have the middle name Nicole, and both have curly brown hair!
Is there a tour of the new house?!Looks like it has so much character!
This is great. We had a youth pastor come and talked about purity. And used the rose as the example for the ladies. And to the guys about hurting the young lady . And how each petal was a part of the young girls heart and each time she gave her heart away and got hurt a piece of of her heart would fall off the rose. And by the time she got to the altar. There was nothing left to give her husband. And the guys were feeling very sad has they hurt the girl. And how not to hurt them or even themselves.
One of your best podcasts to date. Will you do an episode on going to college or entering the military. As Christians I think G-d gives people opportunities outside the "bubble". What say you? Thanks!
