Progressives and progressive Christians are incredibly pharisaical. They're largely intolerant of dissenting opinions and condescending in their moral superiority. I was around them for a long time and the attitude of "I thank thee I am not like other men (ie. those backwards conservatives over there) was constant."

I used to follow Rachel held Evans before she died. She always put on a conference (her and Pete Enns/Nadia whatever) for people who had doubts in their faith, etc. I realized after about a year of following this type of group and identifying with them that it really just led to nowhere. Her sister did the music at the conference and played “nothing but the blood”.

Well, they came out the next day with a huge apology because the progressive audience was very offended by this song. I then realized that these people are impossible to please. And instead of building anything, they really just made their identity on tearing things down.

I am so glad the Lord brought me out of that season. They are indeed a very unhappy hard to please bunch

Original commenter you responded to here. Thanks for sharing that story. It's enlightening. Their offense at "Nothing But the Blood" is really offense at the gospel. They are impossible to please because they've replaced it with progressive orthodoxy, which is continually changing and impossible to please, and also because, having rejected the truth, they can't stand to be exposed to it, just like vampires can't stand exposure to sunlight.

They think they've found freedom but are really just enslaved to their own feelings, desires, and the ever expanding, oppressive purity spiral of progressivism. Jen is one of these people. I mean, what does she really have now? Because it looks like nothing much to me.

I'm grateful that you saw through the emptiness of it and got away from it.

And it’s sooooo boring. The same thing week after week. You hear the deconstruction gospel three times and why go back? We get it, church “trauma”, the patriarchy, blah blah blah.

Any updates on the famjam for those of us without Instagram?

Tyler made (a highly manageable, low mortality) cancer his main identity when he and Jen first met. It's manipulative because hey, are you going to dump a guy with cancer?
Now he has a more serious form (later stage colon) and he is going to exploit this for all it's worth.
He seems to be a very lonely man. Does he have any male friends? He seems to exclusively socialize with women.

He is so grossly performative. Exploiting his health for clicks. And why are his nails painted????

She can’t get over her high school glory days. She’s had a family and all kinds of success but she’s still reaching back to cheerleading? Also, her claim that her softball teammates became lesbians. Bullshit. She’s such a liar for stories.

Jen keeps sharing the passive shade that Tyler constantly throws at her. This is not a particularly healthy or happy relationship.

Why would you use a laundry detergent your supposed boyfriend detested? There are hundreds of alternatives.

I guess she didn’t find anything Molly sims said good enough to post bc she quoted herself in the ig post about the interview and what she posted contradicted what Molly said at the top of the clip!

I would love to get an update on the work the Hatmakers are doing around Austin homelessness these days. They were so devoted to this cause back around a decade ago.

It’s because (1) she has nothing original anymore to say; all of her posts are multiple reruns of posts the last several years; and (2) she’s not getting any traffic, especially not any NEW traffic from her posts due to reason above, so she’s just reposting memes because she can’t think of anything else to say.

Jen is bascially turning her instagram into a meme farm. I can't believe how much content she is stealing/reposting at this point.

He has created a not funny series titled "What in the white woman did I just watch." Why does Sis stay with a guy who so loathes white gals? Except for dead white gals who were actresses?

He also is part of a "man-el" - you can't make this up- at a conference called I Choose Me.
