  2. Duggar Prison Emails: Josh's SHOCKING Ignorance about the Bible and coded messages sent in scripture

    Duggar Prison Emails: Josh's SHOCKING Ignorance about the Bible and coded messages sent in scripture

    This past month, Josh Duggar's prison emails sent between his conviction in December of 2021 and his sentencing in June of 2022 were revealed to the public via FOIA request (Thank You Lily Archive). In this episode, we go through the emails sent between Joshua Duggar and his spiritual advisor, LaCount Reber. Joshua stayed with the Reber family when he was out on bail during his trial. These emails reveal the depths of Josh's ignorance about even the most basic tenets of Christianity. They reveal a lack of curiosity, and an inability to read coded messages sent to him as bible quotations, and an understanding of scripture that can be (charitably) described as rudimentary.

    Fundie Mental Gymnastics: Drinking and Alcohol

    In this episode, we discuss the mental gymnastics Fundies perform to say that drinking alcohol is a sin, even though Jesus turned water into wine. We go into the history of where the fundie taboo around drinking came from, how a social taboo became integrated into a religious doctrine, and why this makes zero sense. In the Patreon extended edition, Sadie talks about her job working with at risk teens, and helping them identify abusive behaviors and how people can change abusive behaviors. https://www.patreon.com/posts/157928236 Please send your pride stories to LeavingEdenPod@Gmail.Com so we can read them on an episode! 00:00 - INTRO: 04:26 - Josh Duggar Emails 05:48 - SEND YOUR PRIDE STORIES TO US! 06:54 - Jesus' miracles 07:50 - Anti-Alcohol sentiment in Christianity 18:27 - Why did or didn't people drink alcohol in biblical times? 26:20 - Prohibition and the Scopes Monkey Trial 32:27 - Why are fundies stuck in the 1920s? 37:08 - Jesus turned water into...

    I went to the "Tradwife College" that Vanity Fair wrote about, and it's SO much worse than you think

    In today's episode, Sadie discusses the recent article in Vanity Fair about Hyles-Anderson College, which she attended from the fall of 2011 until the spring of 2013. While this article did a good job of explaining what makes this college so controlling, we felt that this subject would have been better served with a longer-form piece that focused more on the deeper aspects of control rather than JUST the dress code. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/the-college-for-trad-wives?srsltid=AfmBOopagpD8okZIVAWJdyk7Svyax_rmS8qF4xH0n2dryDQj7eEVtsRL 00:00 - Intro 05:23 - Tradwives 07:43 - Rules for men vs. women 09:43 - MRS Degrees 14:58 - The IFB 20:23 - The Curriculum 28:01 - Bus Routes 33:12 - How Sadie Almost got expelled 38:08 - What the Vanity Fair could have done better 42:48 - Why some people don't make it 44:46 - This is an insular culture Subscribe to Leaving Eden Podcast on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ4q94gAnsoW2jME4SvVrrQ Join our Patreon for extended, uncensored, and ad-free versions of most of our episodes, as well as other patron perks and bonus content! https://www.patreon.com/LeavingEdenPodcast Join our Facebook group to join in the discussion with other fans! https://www.facebook.com/groups/edenexodus Join our subreddit!

    Caldwell Family Statement/Josh Duggar's Attempt to Get a New Trial (Duggar Update)

    In this episode, we discuss Josh Duggar's attempt to vacate his conviction and secure a new trial based on the theory that Caleb William was the guilty party in his crime. We discuss his issues with filing deadlines, as well as how quickly Josh's sentence has gone by. We also discuss the statement released by the Caldwell Family regarding Joe Duggar's alleged crimes, what this says about their current situation and their relationship with Kendra. Sadie also talks about Pete Hegseth and the Pulp Fiction fake bible quote. The Patreon extended version of this episode includes Sadie recording a parody of the 2014 Michelle Duggar robocall in which Michelle Duggar fearmongered about trans people in bathrooms.

    Are Christians exempt from taxation?

    In this episode, we discuss Christian beliefs around taxation, as well as why some fundamentalist Christians like Kent Hovind have opted for a sovereign citizen defense. At the end of the episode, we discuss the creative ways that Jim Bob Duggar has avoided taxation by passing his tax burden off onto his children.
