Excuse Me!!
Quote From: housewife52This family is different than the Amish in that they are not actually trying to live without electricity, etc. They are set up in a home that needs electricity. If they want to live a simple life w/o modern conveniences then they need to relocate somewhere else. They need to move to a home with a woodstove and an outhouse and a nearby water source. When I was growing up poor, we had electricity but no indoor plumbing or water. We had an outdoor toilet, carried our water in from a spring and heated with a woodstove. My mother cooked on a woodstove. This family lives in a house set up for modern conviences but they are not supporting this lifestyle. There is a big difference in this and the way the Amish live or the way I grew up. We always had a garden and ate well and were warm in the winter. This family is caught somewhere in between. The parents need to s*** or get off the pot if you ask me. It's not about thier beliefs not matching mine, it's about using the Bible to justify not trying to do any better for thier kids. How dare you say that I'm a neglectful parent to my children!!!! When I got married I married for life not knowing yrs down the road he would find hitting me and other women a big turn on. I work because I have no choice I'm the only bread winner in this family and without my income we would be living on Welfare...so you need to be happy that I am working ...its saving you on your taxes!!! Not to mention the fact that I go to Church faithfully as do my kids, we are all three involved in various ministries myself 4 of them, so don't go preaching stuff about people you don't even know. Matthew 7:1-2 Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Matthew 12:37 For by your words you will be aquitted, and by your words you will be condemmed. So heed my advice and back off being so hateful to those of us who have no choice but to be living as a divorced, working mother, or father.
