26Feb19: I now understand that Carmon Friedrich is now a very outspoken critic of the Quiverfull Patriarchy Movement that was the initial impetus for starting this blog. Hooray, Carmon!
As I've said many times, not only is the learning curve of this whole world very steep, the rabbit holes are that much deeper. So many people get involved with this ideology without informed consent and without a good understanding of what the leaders actually believe. (They keep the less pleasant elements of the lifestyle private and quiet until their acolytes are hooked and entrenched.)
I offer it here as a testimony to Carmon's honesty and good character -- and her willingness to be humble about her past. I think that I read somewhere that we overcome evil by not only the Blood of the Lamb, but also through the word of our testimony. May she be the example for many who make the journey out of the confusion.

Since all this kinism talk, many "things kinist" have been disappearing from all over the internet.
Websites hosted by kinists have been disappearing or have become password protected. Chad Degenhart has password protected his Date-Dabitur. His friends have appeared on all sorts of blogs defending him, arguing everything from the fact that he's had a less than desirable childhood or that he is a wonderful friend and good person. That may all be very true, but is it just an excuse to embrace what I believe is a convenient, candy coated racism? Do these things give a Christian the license to take the Word of God and twist it to justify a social belief or to continue under Old Testament Law? Even in the Old Testament, Isreal would receive converts to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

've recently watched several commenters on another blog state that they are not kinists but then proceed to berate anyone who says anything negative about known kinists or kinism. I've watched them say that they deny kinism personally but then argue that anyone who voices an opinion against this repugnant ideology joins a ranting chorus of shrikes, all while stating that everyone but them is illogical and hysterical. When the first approach of arguing kinism as a valid Christian belief system fails due to rejection by the audience, I watched these kinist supporters then switch to ad hominem tactics to marginalize and trivialize those who spoke out against kinism or kinists or those who supported kinist friends. The next tactic seemed to be the downplaying of kinism as a growing influence in the Christian world, or more specifically, among Dominionist, Christian Reconstruction and Agrarian circles where it originated. Hmmm.

The now defunct kinst page on Wikipedia stated that kinists are primarily composed of those of Anglo-Saxon ethnicity, and those who embrace Reformed Theology as well as Theonomy. So if you are interested, take note while you still can. Someone sent me an email noting that a well-known patriarchalist who runs a home business had her blog off-line all weekend. And it makes you wonder. I wonder how many Christmas card I get from kinists and don't know it? Now, I'm sure they connected over agrarian interests, but I can't help but wonder if all the Chad Degenhart and Harry Seabrook links are coming down as I type.
Here's an interesting cache -- take a look while you still can -- before all you can get is a message stating something about robot.txt and all traces of it vanish.
5 Responses to “The Gates of Hell” Stephanie Seabrook Says: December 19th, 2003 at 6:12 am Hi Carmon. I was just reading Luther’s quote to the children this morning and said it would make for nice memory work and copywork this next week. Dawn thought that was a rather profound statement from Martin Luther King. LOL She very quickly realized what she had said. Needless to say she is not much of a morning person. Have a wonderful weekend. Harry Seabrook Says: December 19th, 2003 at 6:20 am Argh! I’m pulling out what little is left of my hair! Carmon Says: December 19th, 2003 at 11:18 pm Harry and Stephanie,Don’t pull out any hair, Harry, then you won’t be hairy any more ;-). I’m looking forward to reading this year’s Christmas letter…you guys are hilarious. Nickey,I think the restriction applied to government schools, right? Chirac said that France was a secular state and that those religious symbols were opposed to that secularism. At least he’s honest. The government schools here promote the religion of humanism, but many conservatives still see them as "sacred cows" that must be supported.
