I guess I just don’t see her as this uber rich person with tons of money at her disposal to give anyone a big payday to stay quiet. She seems upper middle class at best. Also, I don’t remember her plugging Beth Moore’s book. In fact, I thought it was the opposite, that she didn’t plug it while everyone else in her circle did. Let me know if I’m wrong on that. I’m not sure how she’s going to write an entire book without making herself the victim in every single scenario.

Jen is either the total heroine girl boss in any situation or the total victim. Like many narcissists.

I agree about Jen. She has such warmth about her and was a great story teller. She also seemed much more humble and self-aware. I recall she had friends then too, but there wasn't this obsessive need to brag about all her friends and post girlie photos like a middle school girl who wants you to know she's popular.

In her earlier books, she wrote about her friends being very supportive to her in various, normal ways, and how they would band together and pool resources to help folks in their community, like single moms who were quietly having food insecurity or general needs, like dishes, etc. No fanfare, but just friends doing good work in the name of Jesus. Even her anecdotes about Tray and his pager were actually funny. But these were Interrupted and 7 stories- so I wonder if she changed editors after them?
What bits I read of subsequent books were just family stories and increasing braggy content, without much warmth or relatability or much of a point, really.

Except even that was BS. I posted this before but I had an ANC Meal Train when my family really needed support and surprise surprise I was ghosted by Jen. No call, no sorry I forgot. Nothing. She signed up because it looked good and left us high and dry.

She had no problem dropping her kids with any of us at any time or taking our tithes and our book sales.

After the whole affirming LGBT incident at church they even had the congregation (what was left) hand make them greeting cards because their lives were so hard.

If I read this forum because I’m still mad it’s because I am.

I could have wrote this. What was the deal with the ghosting meal train thing? I sometimes got the feeling Jen really didn’t like being a pastors wife.

Tell us more about the incident and the greeting cards

I'm the OP of the top message- I remember the post about the ghosted Meal Train- that was awful! You don't stand up someone on Meal Train. And then don't apologize. I am always unhappy when I see serious Christians I know liking her posts and other content, because she is phony. I fell for it from afar- thinking oh, wow, she is really living for God and then she implodes everything. Hand-made greeting cards for them when they sprung the affirming stance on you guys? That is crazy and sad and I am sorry you had to deal with that. I hope you found a good church community.

I knew something was off when she posted on Good Friday of 2017, comparing her "suffering" at the hands of the Evangelical Industrial Complex for rejecting sound doctrine to the suffering of Jesus on the cross for the sins of the world. Gross.

This "ghosted on the meal train" story is incredible. The "meal" is the most basic tenet of Christianity. "Feeding the poor" absolutely means showing up with a meal, kindness, and humility. This story shows the insanity of Instagram etc. To have 500,000 followers you pontificate to, and "lead" yet have left this story of cruel behavior ( that's what it is) along your path--it's astounding.

This is no small thing, this story. It actually explains everything.

I hate the way that she has treated people and now has this whole shtick about “look at meeeeee - I’m a wonderfully kind person to strangers!” She is a deeply dark person who understands what the fruits of the spirit are only to fake bearing that fruit so she can transactionally use her stories for content and fodder to sell crap.

Thoughts on me camp: in my opinion she seems really unhappy and lonely. As much as she wants to show herself reflecting, writing, saying yes to everything it comes across cringe, awkward and desperate. She is the opposite of an introvert. An introvert would not go away for a month and constantly share and definitely would not hook up with people in a desperate attempt to not be alone. She has not healed at all.

So she does this me camp show where she goes and sits in a basic rental by day and then goes and sits at some bar at night. Then she’ll be TM’s theater sidekick in NYC and then she’ll go on some tacky low rent cruise for her birthday. Does she ever actually take a nice vacation?

Jen’s supppserly magical conversation with two older women celebrating their 32nd anniversary at some nearby bar sounds like it’s sort of made up.

Do we really think Jen met these two women and had this exchange?

And Canada only passed gay marriage in 2005, not 32 years ago in 1992.

She’s so full of shit!

Anyone who encounters enough people with narc tendencies, side-eyes the person who brags on social media about good deeds. The truly benevolent people I know don't need to brag and they either don't have social media accounts or they have them and barely post. They do these things quietly and we see it.

Yes they posted to Jen’s Facebook post in the comments and comfirmed

I get that they confirmed the meeting but it’s really very odd how some one as full of crap as she is keeps having these amazing coincidental encounters with random strangers.
