So I am sick of this.

Yup. It’s Brandon.

Legacy Collective is legit. Totally transparent for donors. Do your research. Pure, Inc DBA as Pure Charity. Stop your conjecture. Neither Jen nor I make zero dollars off donations. I personally volunteered for three years to start the initiative. It does amazing work. And is incredibly effective. Stop the witch hunt. Jen is the real deal. And so is Legacy Collective. Shame on you for your unfounded accusations.

Remember when Brandon supposedly posted this comment. It was like 50+ pages into the thread. If what he’s saying is true why can’t we find transparent info. on legacy collective? What exactly went into that 28% overhead?

It’s a common tale. Back in the 90s and 2000s there was no real downside for celebrities, culturally, to being a Christian, even a conservative ones with conservative values. Now days, though, there is a huge downside for celebrities and people in the media
saying things like sex before marriage is a sin, that even a thing like ‘sin’ exists, that human life begins at conception, that Christ and Christi alone saves sinners, etc. Nothing will get you immediately dismissed from elite circles than believing and saying such horrifically unfashionable things. Therefore, we are seeing is a mass abandonment from such beliefs among formally “Christian Celebrities”. Basically, no one wants to be the weirdo and outside the mainstream looking in, especially ambitious social climber types. The thirst for public approval for folks such as these is just too intense.

White evangelical American Christianity aligned itself with Trump and crowned him savior, at the very least neglected to speak out against how many Christians were aligning him with the beliefs. Many people have scrambled to get as far away from that version of Christianity as possible. Jen was obviously going through a personal reckoning with her faith during this time, but many Christians were ostracized by Trumpism. I hate it when people act like they are some sort of martyr or that Christianity is in any way persecuted in America. I was someone who was drawn to Jen’s platform because she was one of the first and the loudest Christian voices to take a stand against the glorification of Trump. It was bold at the time, given her audience. Comparing her to non-Christians or mainstream celebrities isn’t quite apples to apples. Hers was a distinctly Christian voice. Fast forward to current times, her appeal is watered down by the promo codes and the her lack of relatability, but I’m not furious with her about any of it. I take what works for me and leave the rest. For goodness sake’s, unfollow the woman. She doesn’t owe any of us anything. If you feel betrayed, that’s on you for giving a stranger that much of your emotional energy.

Weird comment. Why bring the ex president into this? Especially as not a lot of people in this thread voted for him?
