Deconstructing DeeJayGee

Dare to Discipline and The Strong-Willed Child have been staples for evangelical parents for decades. We are taking a raw, vulnerable deep dive into the source of so many parenting tactics that evangelical kids like us experienced. CW: animal abuse, corporal punishment, indoctrination, grooming Join the discord! https://discord.gg/Vbe5FS5Q We are growing and adding events and activities both for peer support and for fun.

Deep Dive Time! From Postmodernism to Excess Lust Theory to Monty Python and legal tax evasion! We're diving into the first two chapters of the Advanced Seminar Textbook and breaking down the theology from a deconstructed viewpoint. If you missed our videos on the Basic Seminar, you can find them here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiLT2XPPqegKkJvoa7yquy5FaAlz1QLly CW: mental health issues, explicit language, spiritual abu...

We look at and discuss different experiences growing up in evangelicalism and what we were taught about mental health/illness. Sadly, the messaging was pretty consistent across the dozens of folks I polled for this. We break down the harmful messages and how we can better address them as peers.

Finally! the last installment of the Basic Seminar! We'll be talking about measuring successful living, how to generate "proper" questions to ask friends, how to "replicate our lives in others", and other Gothardisms.

In this next installment, Gothard tells us about Moral Freedom. We attempt to interpret the world's worst diagrams/infographics, and discuss religious OCD, intrusive thoughts, and the BITE model. In the middle of Moral Freedom, he talks about fasting, so we compare/contrast it to fasting in other Abrahamic religions and ED (hello Brittany Dawn, Karissa Collins, and Paul and Morgan). Helpful links: Steven Hassan on his BITE Mod...

Rick and I tackle the next section of the #iblp Basic Seminar about personal #rights (and how we don't actually have any). Is this how we convince conservatives to become communists? TW: domestic violence, cycles of abuse, gaslighting, religious abuse, etc. Some resources and citations used in the video: (Harley Therapy Ltd. - © 2006-2023 https://www.harleytherapy.co.uk/.

We are breaking down the IBLP Basic Seminar (part 1) We look at conflicts, authority, accountability, evangelicalism, and Bill Gothard. Screenshots are from the 1977 edition of the Basic Seminar from the Institute in Basic Youth Conflicts (which would become the IBLP). See also my playlist on IBLP where I break down the Men's Manuals (instructions for Fathers/Husbands in leading their home in the Bill Gothard variety of fundam...

I have been cleaning out my storage unit recently and keep finding old stuff my mom gave me when they got rid of their storage unit and stuff I've been hanging onto for most of my life. Some of it I remember well, and some were total surprises for me. Do a different kind of unboxing with me!

Let's talk about boundaries, bodies, and the impact of purity culture. Paul and Morgan are deeply toxic when it comes to communication, consent, bodily autonomy, etc., so all the trigger warnings on this!

Purity pledges, purity rings, abstinence-only sex ed, rushed early marriage, "your body is not your own", and "true love waits"... Purity Culture has been a growing focus within evangelicalism in the last few decades. The new purity pushers are instafundies like Girl Defined. Morgan and Bethany collaborate to talk about what it's like to embrace being a sexual person within a "proper" Christian mar...

Somehow Paul and Morgan missed the message that this docuseries was not about promoting Christianity of any flavor but rather highlighting the experiences of victims of toxic epistemology found within the IBLP and similar Christian ideologies and the abuse that flows from that kind of theology. So Paul and Morgan are big mad that the docuseries had an "agenda" while their channel has just as much of an agenda and simply c...
