Jessa Duggar says "liberal" Christians are going to hell, and she is not. Judging us while saying..

not to judge her.

She seems very angry in this facebook post found by Raw Story.

Duggar daughter casts judgment against liberal Christians: You’re going to Hell — but I’m not

eality TV star Jessa Duggar lectured Christians in a lengthy Facebook post about God’s wrathful judgment.

“Whenever someone speaks out against something that God calls sin, ‘Don’t judge!’ can be heard coming from a thousand lips,” Duggar said. “People don’t like to have other people disapprove of the way they’re choosing to live their life.”

The 22-year-old newlywed conceded this “hard truth” would not bring her any popularity, but the evangelical Christian celebrity said she could not “hide the truth” from her fans because she cares too much about “their eternal destiny.”

“In this world, people have seared their consciences,” Duggar warned. “The standard of what is ‘ok’ or ‘permissible’ in our society today, hardly reflects God’s standard.”

“People are content to live on in lying, cursing, pride, anger, bitterness, disrespecting of parents, lust, pornography, fornication, adultery, and other sexual sins,” she continued, “and if anyone tries to confront them, their attitude and response is, ‘You live your life, I’ll live mine. Don’t you tell me what to do! Only God can judge me!’”


It's okay for Jessa and her family to openly judge others, but others must not judge them....such a double standard.

...does not sound like a very Christian thing to say. Spend less time tossing rocks and concentrate on your own rock pile would make for a better world as fewer rocks would go airborne.

I'd like her to, and I quote EarlG or whoever it was that wrote it first, to take her judgment and jam it firmly--firmly, mind you--in her rectum.

for that kind of thinking, it also brings to light that the confusion and dogma in that kind of conditioning indicates a plethora of distorted implications that require some reflection and thought to think yourself out of.

All deities aside, projections of narcissistic tendencies, superiority complexes and egomania, et al, are not obvious to the people who are utilizing these patterns as a means of protecting and insulating themselves, just in the way that people surround themselves with a house and fill it chock-full of stuff to support a sense of safety and security. That kind of cupidity can merely have greed or hoarding as a symbol or facade to what is inciting the behavior.

In that sense, depending on when the dogma is deeply inserted into your psyche, (not to mention the context of "support" from others who are also conditioned) being able to see the objective world experience with an open, flexible mind is very difficult. By open and flexible I mean in context. There are a variety of responses, (rather than reactions) to various situations and to me, a myopic, one-size-fits-all approach is not just a "religious" problem, but more of a template for control, influence and as a means to incite and enforce "predictable behavior", which has as much to do with organizations and society at large as it does with any particular individual.

One can only guess where she'll be ten, twenty, forty years from now.
One learns a lot about life as one lives it day to day.

Of all the sins of the world to focus on why not killing, greed, and theft to name a few?

Of course, their "God" has proven to be a fan of greed, punishment, and killing.

The Duggars are authoritarians and authoritarians are a bunch of bedroom busybodies. They poke their noses into other people's sex lives because their own is miserable.

I bet if she realized the "hard truth" that she likes to talk about, she'd drop to her knees and cry, because when you're dead, you're dead.
