Girls can develop yeast infections the same way as well. If the kid has sensitive skin and is essentially allergic to the diaper brand that's being used it can exacerbate rashes and make infections more likely to occur as well.Ick, I wish I didn't learn that getting sepsis from dirty diapers was even possible. Like, geez, wouldn't the smell or the baby crying due to discomfort bother her enough at that point to want to change it?
Yeah another baby is the last thing she needs if she can't even keep her youngest changed to the point she gets a UTI and almost dies of sepsis. The fuck.
Thoughts on whether or not Boob is raging about her posting non-KJV? Most of the people I know with fundie parents have told me they were anal about KJV only.So there are a few different camps and flavors of religious conservative Christians. I would guess Jana is probably making friends with other Christian singles who aren't immediately marriage oriented, who love God, but also love God's people. Part of loving His people is believing in the spirit of His message rather than a particular version of the Bible. It absolutely is a big deal for her to look at other versions, and probably means she's talking to and making friends with people who have different views. This is great.
I hope she's leaning toward going on a legitimate mission. Mercy Ships are ALWAYS looking for housekeepers, servers, and people with her skillsets. (Mercy Ships is a program that gives medical care, particularly surgical intervention, to disadvantaged people.) It also has a broad group of people, including some non-Christians. I think it would be amazing for her, given the Duggar women's interest in medicine they never acted on.
I did not grow up reading the KJV and none of my family uses it. I sincerely doubt Boob would be dumb enough to challenge whether or not my Bible of choice is godly enough, simply because he doesn't know it well enough. (I use the Martin Luther because I grew up with it and it's a personal preference.)Yeah another baby is the last thing she needs if she can't even keep her youngest changed to the point she gets a UTI and almost dies of sepsis. The fuck.
I know CPS will just shit itself and do nothing, but I feel like a baby being left in dirty diapers long enough to get a UTI that goes septic is grounds for investigation at least.

Didn't Jana also want to be a nurse at some point but JB shot it down?
Karissa also had a daughter break her leg/knee from a trampoline accident while the youngest was in the hospital.I know CPS will just shit itself and do nothing, but I feel like a baby being left in dirty diapers long enough to get a UTI that goes septic is grounds for investigation at least.
Lol, as someone who participates in biblical fasting, Karissa did not abstain from food for 11 days. She might have participated in a Daniel type fast where she only ate unseasoned, bland food, but three to five days without eating will absolutely wipe you out if you're just resting and praying. She wouldn't have the strength to get out of bed, and she almost certainly would induce a miscarriage from lack of nutrients during early development if she didn't eat for 11 days.Karissa also had a daughter break her leg/knee from a trampoline accident while the youngest was in the hospital.
I'm unsure if this was mentioned, but Karissa also fasted for 11 days while she knew she was pregnant in order to get God to heal the one in the hospital.
To answer your question, Coming from a Presbyterian denomination we mainly use the ESV Bible in our church services. Its a literal word for word translation of the bible , nothing is really changes content wise just more modern English for example, would be "Thou shall not kill, to a little more modern "you shall not kill". And yes the IFBs/and other KJV onlyist get big mad about the ESV (as well as anything else that is seen as Calvinist ) and can easily give a autisticly long sermon hating the ESV.It's actually very important because the Duggars (and many other fundamentalists, including Jill Rodrigues and other IFB/IBLP types) think that the King James version is the only "God-breathed" translation. They don't believe that any other translations are the True and Honest, inerrant word of God. Later translations, by their logic, are corrupted by man's influence. The KJV-only thing is one of the main points on which fundamentalist Baptists differ from their normal, mainline Protestant counterparts. Jill Rodrigues actually posted proudly about her eldest son, Timothy, having dropped out of Bible "college" because one of his "professors" suggested other translations were also legitimate and the KJV need not be the only Bible that "real Christians" read.
It is actually a HUGE deal for Jana to openly admit to having read another translation, especially while living under Jim Bob's headship.
This is actually the first hope I've felt for Jana in years. I cannot overemphasize how significant this is. It is possibly a bigger deal than Jill drinking a glass of wine with dinner or dancing at a church Christmas celebration.
Edited to tag @LonesomeDud, who is as close to an authority the Farms has on matters like this (and nice to us unsaved heathens about it, to boot). What say you, friend? Is this as big a thing as I think?
Edited again to say that I'm pretty sure the English Standard Version is also a word-for-word literal translation, so it's not like she's straying too far afield, but it's still a big deal.
The best part is that "proves" their beliefs, as far as they're concerned. God blessed them with fertility for being so righteous, hence they are good parents. Even if they murder their kids, I guess.The Collins family is just nightmare fuel. How can this crazy bitch get pregnant any time she wants and then responsible and loving couples can’t even get one baby. I know it’s just a shitty fact of life but it sucks
Wait, so only the boys get a desert on their birthday? The fuck, why? Is she an ana-chan inflicting her bullshit on her daughters or something?The best part is that "proves" their beliefs, as far as they're concerned.

Edit to add:
Karissa Collins got a lavish birthday party for her 38th! Reminder that for the kids, she "doesn't do birthdays", aside from Instagram photos. Sometimes the boys get a dessert with dinner. And she got a peloton! Which is great for a woman who fasts while pregnant and has a house full of kids who are constantly getting injured.

I don't know if there's a Turpin thread or not, but it doesn't seem possible to fall into a rabbit hole with them. They were so reclusive for so long, and family and former neighbors didn't know what was going on (except they kinda did and opted to not report them), they didn't have friends and didn't belong to or visit any church. There's not too much background info beyond wikipedia.I've been reading through the Rod Thread, and I've seen them brought up here, but is there a Turpin thread? Or a good, long summary or rabbit hole?
I was fascinated by the case of those poor kids and didn't know they were fundies.

They married when she was 16, they claimed to be Pentecostal, but didn't go to church it almost seems like it was a phase... since they dabbled in swinging and had bizarre consumer habits.
Aside from wikipedia, really the best, most comprehensive resource is the Diane Sawyer 20/20 interview. Most of it is on youtube, the last two parts aren't on it or weren't on it when I watched. You can find it on free streaming services, if you need a link, DM me because I don't know the policy here about linking to streaming sites. It was a really good interview, few to no parts were spared.
60 minutes Australia usually does an excellent job covering just about anything. I haven't watched this, but it might be interesting.
Other than that are specials that ran after the arrests, and/or during the trial, but not the discussion with the two girls. You can find the specials on youtube too, but given the sparse info, If you've seen one, you've seen them all. You can also watch two if the turpin kids giving victim impact statements during sentencing.
Basically, the story starts and stops in a definitive way. So it's not really thread worthy at this point. Maybe some of the kids will eventually take to social media to discuss their trauma, or just show how they're living their life after trauma. (hopefully none of them do this, unless they feel like it's advocacy, because they've been harmed, exploited and othered for their whole lives) Unfortunately, their trauma isn't over, because of bullshit with the victims fund and the person appointed to oversee their transition into society an disburse the money. Though that is part of the 20/20 interview, too. If people are interested, we can discuss them here, in fact, maybe the title should be changed to quiverfull movement and fundamentalist lolcows. The only discussion I'd be interested in going forward is keeping track of how the district will rectify their wrongs, disburse the money and get the young turpin kids placed with abusive families out of those situations. Get the older kids some life training and give them money that was in a trust fund, so they don't have to live in Watts. As interested as I am, I haven't followed up on that, so if someone else does and posts it, I'd love to read it. But I think that's really where the story ends.
I was working on a Turpin post here (cuz I can def do one better here than the shitty crime websites, plus all the weird religion stuff that we love here!) but I need a Lil moar timeI've been reading through the Rod Thread, and I've seen them brought up here, but is there a Turpin thread?

Narcissism is very Christlike.Karissa Collins got a lavish birthday party for her 38th! Reminder that for the kids, she "doesn't do birthdays", aside from Instagram photos.
I mean, we all know she is almost definitely a friend of Ana's. However I am guessing the reason the boys get more may also be the same reason that the boys get ice cream parties and the girls get Quran readings at Al Qaeda gatherings.Wait, so only the boys get a desert on their birthday? The fuck, why? Is she an ana-chan inflicting her bullshit on her daughters or something?
