you know what..you are really a sick twisted pup. I looked at this site and while I am really not sure how I feel about couples reading about other couples sex lives the intent is to encourage others to have good marriages. I am not also sure about them charging for it if they are really out to do good. and the fact that probably a good chunk of the submissions are people like yourself who arent even married or christian who are just writing from their imaginations.
HOWEVER...knowing what I know about you Katie, you just think the idea of christian love and commitment in marriage to be a big joke. frankly with that attitude it isnt surprising at all that you are attracting the men you are attracting. people post in here about how amazed they are that all these nice guys are passing you up. I am not. because nice guys know that you really think the whole thing is a joke...if all this attachment parenting and breastfeeding is supposed to produce an emotionally healthy person it sure failed in your case..oh yeah..you are so twisted maybe because you were forcibly weaned or something. give me a break.
if you treat genuine love and commitment like a big joke then its really no surpise you only treat men who treat you like dirt.
no doubt Mr Jimmy Buffett was probably hoping to score one since he no doubt had read about what a joke you think married committed sex to be in your public musings.
guess what Katie...teaching your daughter to say "fuck off" real loud is not the way to help her "protect herself" against asshole men..teaching her about real love and commitment instead of turning it into grist for your humor mill just might be.
Anonymous - so why do you read Katie's blog if you think she's a "sick twisted pup?" Does your pastor know your reading this blog? Better drop and give him twenty "hail marys." Make that thirty for your un-christian-like language.
to a bleeding heart liberal any criticism at all is "unchristian language". it is a very very convenient way to deflect anything he/she does not want to hear. just call someone "intolerant" or other liberal insults and they are supposed to clam right up from the shame of it all. last time I checked the apostle Paul and others didnt white wash it when commenting on their society. their compassion was for those who knew they were screwed up and who knew they needed help...however they did not mince words when addressing those who spoke for the culture at large, messed up as it was. and Katie is very smug in her mockery of those who claim a biblical worldview.
as for reading Katies blog, I really dont know why I read it. I probably could spend my time in a much better fashion.
You worry me "anonymous" #1. Your rage is actually frightening. What did Katie do to you, or what have you imagined that she did? You sound dangerous and it concerns me. Get some help. I'm serious about that. You must be very unhappy.
Katie, Maybe if you had paid more attention to things like this, what your husband wanted with regards to this, you would still be married because he would not have looked around elsewhere for somebody more attentive to his needs. Radical feminists like you do not understand what men need to stay happy in a marriage. So go ahead and make fun, but the laugh is on you because your husband left you for another woman, probably a woman who will take some time to meet his needs.
Yeah, good Christian husbands never ever cheat on their good Christian wives.
And good Christian sex saves!
I have never posted on Katie's blog before although I read it daily but I swear, there are clearly some jealous harridans about who can't stand reading anything by a woman who is single, divorced even, and has her shit together.
All of these anyonymous chicken-shits worry me, in fact. I don't like right-wing propganda, so I don't watch Fox News. I think the fact that you keep reading and coming back for more speaks way more about your depravity than any sort of criticism you might level at Kate. How about you guys going somewhere else and reading something positive, like your Bible. You and your ilk already have control of the government, so why don't you let the rest of us have our safe havens from your idiotic beliefs?
Wanting to have sex within a good Christian marriage does make a marriage stronger. My husband and I were having a lot of problems but when I started paying more attention to what he needed we worked things out.
some anonymous idiot without the courage of his/her convictions said:
>teaching her about real love and commitment
Hmm, you mean like a single mother who works hard to provide a good life for her kids? That sort of real love and commitment?
I don't think getting a divorce teaches her children about love or commitment. Period. When you get married and have kids you have to plan to stay married even when times are hard.
He CHEATED on her.
nah...no rage or danger here. its a nice attempt to decide someone is simply psycho so that you can brush off any valid points you dont like the sound of.
if anything I am seeing more ire from Katies supporters and in fact, if one is into psychoanalysis one might ponder why Katie finds it neccessary to frequently post things mocking christianity.
as for the cheating thing...adultery IS against the ten commandments. the fact taht such a thing is not rare in the christian community is probably more of a statement about the state of the church these days than anything else.(dont EVEN get me going on Amy Grant.....I find her behavior and the generalized acceptance of it by the church as sickening).
however Katie herself has stated that she is a magnet for male jerks. now do you think that perhaps mocking committed christian marriage might have some correlation to the fact that she is drawn to men who treat her like garbage? I dont think its too big of a stretch. if she mocks this sort of stuff then she probably would think rather mockingly at the type of guy who would not be off sleeping with the bridesmaids in her wedding party. you know, he might not be hip enough for her taste. no doubt though, she married the hip snarky opinions and hot shoes and was pretty darn surprised that things turned out pretty predictably.
it is, of course in the realm of possibility, given her sharp little tongue, that she provided this guy with all the more excuses to do what he did. it is a lot easier to rationalize adultery when your spouse is inconsiderate of your needs and greets everything with sarcasm.
as far as commitment, this is a big beef I have with parenting pundits like Ms Granju. the commitment stops and ends at their children. the man is a disposable sperm bank whose job pretty much is to enable all this awesome mothering. he is to have no issues or needs of his own that might hinder "mothering". give me a freakin break..... and btw...there are people who have moved past far worse adultery than Katie experienced in her marriage. of course that requires a faith in a God that Katie snickers at.
I might add I find it sort of repulsive that you are going to make up some story to send to this website. I am hardly defending this website between the privacy issues (I dont care if its anonymous in the writing, its still private) and the fact taht they are making money off it, but thats pretty low. I further have to wonder, given katies little idea here how many of the stories on that website are even true and not simply the product of someones imagination for whatever reason. not to worry though Katie...I did email them and give them your URL and warn them of what you were planning on doing.
Get a life anonymous.
Katie's hilarious and smart and accomplished and very pretty. You are clearly jealous.
uh, no I dont think I am jealous.
but thats a real nice attempt to excuse away the sarcasm and such. I had not thought of her as attractive..ordinary maybe. not unpleasant looking but hardly able to make anyone jealous. and as far as intelligent..well..if you call leftist leaning political commentary intelligent...feel free.
and no, I dont think she is very funny although she clearly is quite enamored of her own sense of humor.
yet another attempt to dislodge honest critique by an attempt to discredit the commenter.
I honestly hadnt thought of being jealous of this woman either plus or minus till you brought it up. after a moments thought...nah...you messed up on the armchair psychology.
You're an idiot. I'll bet you've never even met her.
Pictures don't do her justice and this is from a married guy. Every man I know who knows her thinks she's cute. She definitely doesn't look like someone who has three kids.
Katie's appeal is in the whole package.
You strike me as a bitter person. Why in the world would you spend so much time writing nasty things about someone you don't even know. Start your own damn blog.
I never claimed to have met her.
and if she is so darn "hot" it sure doesnt appear to be doing her any good other than possibly inflating her already smug idea about herself and the importance of her own little take on the world.
and back to the original thing here and that is
that someone who finds christian fidelity and finding sexual joy with your spouse amusing perhaps has some issues that might relate to their miserable love life.
and btw..I have noticed that sometimes the people who are the most "hot" are the ones who dont have terribly happy romantic lives even though the rest of the world assumes they must and the media works overtime convincing us that they do. while its the people who you would never guess who have the hot sex life. maybe because they really love each other and arent just wildly humping the image that they are pleased as punch they finally landed in bed.
bitter, nah...
Kate's a good girl, but why this conversation is about her marriage is strange. She posted the URL to a hilarious Christian porn site that charges money to read godly sex tales. That's funny.
Anonymous said:
>> I had not thought of her as >>attractive..ordinary maybe. not >>unpleasant looking>>
Probably a pretty fair assessment. Somewhat literary to boot. You go anonymous!
-Katie
I was just responding to people who are assuming that criticism here might be based in jealousy. which is a nice attempt to just shame someone into a corner and discredit it.
I do think it is smarmy to charge people for this. and that something that is private should not be on the web even anonymously. and I am sure that having read of your plans that a good chunk of those stories probably arent even by christians let alone married ones. i doubt you are the only one to think of this. even among people who dont find the whole thing amusing I can easily picture someone making something up just to get out of paying the fee so they can satisfy their curiousity. I find something really wrong with reading about other peoples sex lives to get off with my husband. that christians are sanitizing someothing that people in the world have no problem recommending to each other is what saddens me about this.
BUT you take any cheap potshot you can at serious biblical christianity. from your own pen I get the idea you think the idea of christian sexual morality is something to be snickered at. maybe the way you are conducting your life has not paid off so well..have you considered that? yes there are many divorces among christians but not the ones who are committed to doing things in a biblical manner. every time you see a christian divorce, you see one or more likely both of the parties compromising with the world.
I have seen Katie in person; I used to run into her at a kid's activity once a week. She always looked harried, tired, sloppy, and in need of a make-over. To answer the question of why someone so "hot" can't find a boyfriend; have you read her blog? She is the reason alot of women do not want to be a part of the feminist movement. Bitter, resentful, and self-centered. I know alot of people react this way after a divorce. Maybe this attitude will pass. And I am not jealous; but I do feel sorry for her. And...I think we should all put her on our prayer lists because she is obviously in pain!
Oh man! I wonder if I could actually GET a makeover! Maybe I could take this anonymous comment and submit it, like, in an application to one of those extreme makeover shows.
"Harried, sloppy divorcee in need of TOTAL makeover!"
If I could get on, I definitely want lipo, and a breast lift and maybe a little off my nose (I'v always thought it was a bit too large).
I'm good on shoes and wardrobe, and I like the guy who does my hair, but I've always wanted to learn to walk with a book on my head.
By the by, Just so you don't worry about me or anything, anonymous-who-used-to-run-into-me-at-a kid-activity-once-a-week, I'm not lookin' for a boyfriend (I think I'm too old to call someone that anyway).
But thanks for the makeover idea. Off to Google it and see where I might have an "in."
And I am still quite harried and sloppy these days. It's my default setting.
Kate
Don't worry Katie, lots of us are sloppy and harried sometimes or a lot of the time.
Can you imagine having enough time or interest to visit someone's personal blog and take the time to ANONYMOUSLY post a message saying you have met that person and found her lacking in appearance or dress?
Get a life people. Or at least take a short course in BASIC GOOD FORM.
Katie, I love your sense of humor in all your published writing and the class you show in responding to losers like "anonymous" who claims to know you personally but won't even sign her name.
I also know the Granju family from family activities , horse shows, and Katie is sweet and nice and very cute. Her children are so well behaved and have good manners and are just genearlly nice kids. Katie, you must be very proud of how they are turning out and that is far more important than how you look, right?
uh, yeah, its interesting how Katie turns EVERYTHING into a joke.
and just for the record, no I am not the person who knows her live and up close.
Y'all are just nuts. Ran into Katie last night and she looked great. One of the best looking women in attendance.
But the bottom line is who the hell cares what someone looks like just because she has a blog?
I agree. Get a life. You boring hausfraus are just jealous.
uh, yeah, jealous, right. I guess thats quite an assumption. annoyed yes, possibly spending far more time than I should POed that people actually think like this but jealous, no I think not. if anything I feel sort of sorry for Katie actually thinking that the bar and club scene is a good place to meet people and defending views that have probably played into her own problems all the while just making a big joke about it. I would not want to be her and have her perspective for anythign in the world. I grew up among a very liberal family that mocked biblical christianity and sent out little annual letters that always included some sharp humor about those evil evangelicals. I grew up getting the idea from those around me that anyone who really believed the bible literally was some kind of half brained cretin or worse. the church itself is not perfect but god is and it grieves me to see someone just popping off and saying this stuff that they think is just so incredibly smart when they just even know not what they say.
almost as much as I am grieved that there is a website (no doubt a get rich quick scheme of the person who put it up..there is a mailing address and it sounds like one persons PO box) for other christians to share that which should be private with others to "enhance" their sexual experience.
> someone who finds christian fidelity and finding sexual joy with your spouse amusing
Um, no, we find the idea of "Christian Porn" to be amusing.
Talk about your rationalization mechanisms, that site's got 'em in spades.
another anonymous coward said:
"Katie, Maybe if you had paid more attention to things like this, what your husband wanted with regards to this, you would still be married because he would not have looked around elsewhere for somebody more attentive to his needs."
That's right, blame the victim.
Idiot.
How do you know what her husband wanted? Hmm...
John Davis said...
"I don't think getting a divorce teaches her children about love or commitment. Period. When you get married and have kids you have to plan to stay married even when times are hard."
Oh, bullshit.
He cheated on her.
She owes him exactly as much commitment as he showed her.
None.
well...I think in some cases it wouldnt matter what someone did the person would have cheated. but in some cases you have to wonder what was going on on the other side.
as for the christian porn site...no, I think what is going on is someone wanting to make money.
>as for the christian porn site...no, I think what is going on is someone wanting to make money.
I think you're dead right there.
