Any women here work outside the home? You're a blasphemer!

Well, this "good Christian" says so...

Pastor’s Wife, a Homemaker, Says Moms Who Work Are Blasphemers and Sinners

February 6, 2015 by Terry Firma 255 Comments

Hannah Colley Giselbach is a 25-year-old preacher’s wife from Kentucky who is also a stay-at-home mom. Nothing wrong with that. I respect her choice, just as I respect the choice of parents (not just moms) who have a full-time job. (Someone‘s got to ensure the family is kitted out with diapers, baby formula, and healthcare coverage.)

Giselbach, though, doesn’t share my thumbs-up to either option, she writes on her blog. Only stay-at-home moms have picked the correct path. Married women who work? They’re just cursing God’s word.

"If I’m unloving, indiscreet, unchaste, disobedient to my husband… and if I’m not a homemaker, I, by my own actions, may cause the Word to be blasphemed. Directly or indirectly, I partake in this sad and sinful scenario."

18. LOL! I love that scene.

Seriously though, this is some really f***ed up stuff. Does it ever occur to these people that people work out of necessity?

3. news flash pastor's wife. You are a sinner too!

WTF is your point? That you were lucky enough to find a man that was willing and able to $upport your self righteous ass? That it was much easier to be sub servient to your prize of man than going out and making your own way? What?

4. I had a male coworker tell me this in the 1980's, I was a divorced single mom. No child support.

I said, so you're saying I should stay home & collect welfare or starve?

5. hey, twitwit, nobody gives a fig what you think.

6. She's 25. What does she know?

Talk to her in about 20 years. If she isn't alone and struggling to feed and educate the clutch of kids she's been saddled with, she will know plenty of "good" women who are, nice Christian stay at home doormats who were left with nothing but a mob of hungry kids to feed when hubby followed his dick elsewhere else.

It would be great if being a SAHM brought in a paycheck and had retirement benefits. That way, it could be freely chosen as a career path. Unfortunately, too many are left holding the bag with no way to educate themselves into jobs that pay the bills.

10. Don't hold back, Warpy --

Tell us how you really feel!

7. so what happens if you are not

1- married?
1a-opposite sex married?
1b-unwilling to have children?
1c-unable to have children
1d-your partner becomes unable to financially support a family, for any reason?

15. The fundie answers would be

Sin
Sin
Sin
God's punishing your sins
Maybe the church will help you, if you followed all the rules

[irisblue]

17. well..

Thanks for the clarification LeftyMom, I am too unchurched. Wait until I mention the Wicca.....heads will explode.

16. 2 more....

occurred to me.... 1-does a heterosexually married woman have to stay at home when(if?) your kids leave home? 1a-Will this womans' deity provide you with a career in your late 40s to mid 50s with no/ or distant work experience? 1c- If one of your children returns home, say at their age of 25, does/should this woman quit her job to return to stay at home mom status? 2- What if an elderly family member needs care?
so many flaws in this ideal... I did go to read her blog, and she seems so young, entitled and with limited in her awareness of how life can change.
BTW Matthew 7:1-3 apparently does not apply here.

8. I'm an at-home mom

And they (right wing "Christians&quot find other reasons to call me a blasphemer and sinner.

People choose their own paths and what is right for my family isn't right for others. For example: I choose to raise my kids to be decent human beings while she's choosing judgmental douchewad as the example she wants to set.

[Coventina]

9. Does this only apply to working mothers?

Because I'm married, but unable to have children.

Where do I fit in her cosmology?

[JustAnotherGen]

13. Same place I do?

I bet you and I get to hang out with ohhhhhhhhhh - Edith Piaf, Marilyn Monroe, Billie Holliday and a whole bunch of other cool women in hell!

[Coventina]

14. It won't be hell with you there!

11. She's a twit, but she's correct about the New Testament's instructions to women which most folks

magically edit out or explain away while the anti gay verses, part and parcel of the same sections of the NT are quoted constantly, stridently, often by women. It's maddening. 'The parts that say women must never speak in public are just dated historical materials that no longer apply, but that part about you is the Word of God Eternal'.
It also says 'slaves obey your masters with a full heart'. People pretend that says 'do a good job at work' but it says slaves and masters and obey.
Christians who do not like those rules should probably consider dropping the attacks on LGBT people, because the Book they quote when doing so favors slavery and says women are subservient to men always, submissive to husbands, subservient to the rest of us. If that's not how you think or live, but you endorse clergy that quotes that Book against others, you are a hypocrite.

12. I'm totally judging her!
