Exactly, I have no problem with her hawking everything from soup to nuts online. What I don't like to see are posts promoting products (cleansing tea etc.) that could be harmful. If she's going to promote that type of thing she needs to post sufficient warnings and better yet mention that you shouldn't start any sort of cleansing type regimen without consulting your doctor. My older sister tried a blackberry tonic cleanse from health food store several years ago and had a terrible reaction, really sick, vomiting, wound up in hospital overnight.

I tend to cut the girls a little more slack in that I think it will take longer for them to find their way. They were all young to mid-teens when their parents became less involved with the church (I think they were still pretty heavily in the church right up until they left Lehi.) Imagine living the first 14-16 years of your life being told your ETERNAL SOUL depends on getting a man, settling for only a small part of that man, and popping out as many children as possible. Add to that, many of the women you saw growing up ONLY had MLM's as an option - they simply had too many children to be able to get a full time job - even with the help of a sister wife you had a good relationship with. Even though you might intellectually know that women can have good careers and don't need to do this crap the message you heard all your life still resonates. Hopefully Maddie has had enough exposure to the rest of the world that she is starting to move away from that mindset (we'll see if she starts hawking some other kind of crap after giving up Lulano.) I think it will be harder for the older girls to get there. Hopefully, the younger ones haven't been quite so indoctrinated. 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9304-the-brown-kids/page/7/#findComment-5286878
