Sew Sumi August 28, 2015 Share August 28, 2015 Yeah, the men are all on the left, the women on the right, and some odd men and couples in the middle pews. I wonder if they let couples sit together on Friday nights? For them, this is like a party! 1 Link to comment

SomePity1066 August 28, 2015 Share August 28, 2015 (edited) It doesn't get really special until a few posts below that where a rather manicured young woman in an unfortunate yellow crewneck sweater is flashing what appears to be the world's most suburban gang sign at the camera. Oh my GOD, I know... !!! She's all "Yo, Yo - Lemon Bars in the hizzle ! PTA for life ! Check my Pandora bracelet swag, dawg !" Jesus on a cracker, I'm making myself laugh here. These things just write themselves... ;) Edited August 29, 2015 by SomePity1066 19 Link to comment
Sew Sumi August 28, 2015 Share August 28, 2015 (edited) It's live, y'all! I watched parts of last week's livefeed. These slides will repeat ad nauseum for about 10 minutes. Edited August 29, 2015 by Sew Sumi 2 Link to comment
CofCinci August 29, 2015 Share August 29, 2015 Wide shot. Josh could be in the green or the plaid sitting in lower left. 2 Link to comment
Sew Sumi August 29, 2015 Share August 29, 2015 He's probably off to the left with the men I recognized as definitely being part of the program when I watched last week's video (women are off to the right). I'm not sure who they allow to sit in the middle, but definitely not a newbie! LOL 1 Link to comment
CofCinci August 29, 2015 Share August 29, 2015 (edited) For those unable to watch, this guy has been going on manic mode for 10 minutes. I don't know what he is saying because I have it on mute. This dude is all smiles tonight. He's a celebrity now with his 67 viewers. Just two away from that sinful number, 69. Edited August 29, 2015 by CofCinci 14 Link to comment
Sew Sumi August 29, 2015 Share August 29, 2015 So yay! Even El Boob-o couldn't shut down the live feed, making Smuggar's humiliation very public. 3 Link to comment
OhioMom August 29, 2015 Share August 29, 2015 I don't understand...why are men and women sitting together? Anyone think Josh will give a testimony tonight?? 2 Link to comment
Sew Sumi August 29, 2015 Share August 29, 2015 (edited) The middle is for the outside people, including couples. The men in the program are off to the left in the front, the women in the program are on the right, far away from leches like Smuggles. eta: Testimony time will be our best shot at a Smuggles sighting.

Celia Rubenstein August 29, 2015 Share August 29, 2015 I was wondering how this place could possibly be a bigger waste of time for our Josh, and I just figured out how ... make the meetings open to the public via livestream! That will DEFINITELY encourage an atmosphere of open, honest sharing and introspection. Can't you just feel the healing! I think I saw a foot sticking out from under a bench on the menfolk's side ... could that be Josh, hiding underneath a pew? 14 Link to comment
OhioMom August 29, 2015 Share August 29, 2015 (edited) Anyone have any guesses on Josh's location? Is he the guy in the 4th row, with the striped shirt on? Edited August 29, 2015 by OhioMom 1 Link to comment
Celia Rubenstein August 29, 2015 Share August 29, 2015 (edited) I'm guessing he checked out the camera shots beforehand and selected a nice blind spot in the back to hide in. eta: omg this is so boring, I am not sure I can take much more Edited August 29, 2015 by Celia Rubenstein 5 Link to comment

OhioMom August 29, 2015 Share August 29, 2015 Thank you, CofC....now I can't keep my eyes off them!! There is a "woman" leg on the left side of the church....with a flip flop w/flower on it. And I think I see a man and woman sitting together on the left side....this must be one of those discretionary decisions they make... 1 Link to comment

Sew Sumi August 29, 2015 Share August 29, 2015 (edited) I think they keep the program men up front. I imagine that the people coming from the outside who graduated from the program know where they can and can't sit. Lord knows there are enough rules here already! eta: I agree that the guy in the 4th row, striped shirt could be Smuggar. Interesting that this week they're having graduate testimonies. On last week's podcast, it was all "students" currently in the program. I wonder if they alternate weeks? Edited August 29, 2015 by Sew Sumi 3 Link to comment

doodlebug August 29, 2015 Share August 29, 2015 Who would go into this voluntarily? Is Josh for sure diagnosed with a disorder of some kind? Or is it just assumed that getting off to porn and hookers is a mental illness? This bunch doesn't consider it a mental illness, it's a spiritual one. And the cure is Jesus, He's like Penicillin for porn. As far as any of us know, Josh has never received any counselling other than that provided by extreme conservative Christians like his family. And the emphasis is on how the devil lead the sinner astray and prayer is the cure. Nobody at the place where Josh is staying has any sort of certification in psychology, psychiatry, social work, addiction counselling or anything else. They're all fundies, some of whom have been 'addicted' to porn or drugs or alcohol themselves, who are now spreading the Gospel of repentance and Jesus. The website of the place he's at specifically says that the clients are forbidden to discuss their addictions with anyone there. The schedule they provide on the website seems to indicate there is no actual counselling going on; it's all prayer sessions and manual labor. It's sounds kinda like the way the Duggars expect all the children, especially the girls, to 'keep sweet' no matter what. All this place seems to do is try to get the clients to bury their problems as deeply as possible under a heap of bullsh** with a little Jesus sprinkled on top. Josh may have gotten some court ordered counselling as a kid when social services got involved when he molested his sisters, but his parents and the rest of the Gothardites don't believe in traditional psychiatric diagnoses or treatments. It's all about Jesus. 13 Link to comment
