Assembly of God women are taught to obey their husbands.

If Palin, a member of the AG church, becomes part of the political landscape, we better find out more about how hubby thinks.

[thunder rising]

1. This hubby seems to be around a lot. Like in state meetings etc.

[az chela]

2. I just said that on another post.I went to a wedding at that church

and was so shocked by the vows i think i went in to shock.How barbaric

[AzDar]

3. Apparently, he's referred to as the 'Shadow Governor' in Alaska...and works for an Oil co.

How creepy is THAT?

[Iris]

6. creepy aside - how about totally unethical?

and this from the "ethics" woman?

[rwheeler31]

4. That church is so money grubbing it is pitiful,they go after

people at funerals.

[UTUSN]

5. K&R #3 n/t

[Octafish]

7. Hubby works for BP

Love the oil. Hate the landowner.

8. Whose taking care of the baby is husband is with her? I thought he was

supposedly doing it. Interesting.

Isn't it the RW base that thinks women should stay home with their small ones? I suppose the fact that she foam-at-the-mouth pro-life
will outweigh that. Ick.

We can learn all we want

But the corporate media won't touch this, and if Obama/Biden refuse to expose it for fear of being called anti-religion -- a real possibility -- then the majority of Americans will remain clueless.

9. Right wing fundies will love Palin.... John "Cover the Statues" Ashcroft was a member of the

Assembly of God.

10. many years ago when I was younger and dumber

I belonged to , and was married into the Assembly of God church. My husband was physically and mentally abusive When I tried to talk to my pastors wife she said "you made your bed. now you have to lie in it"

I was raised in that church . They were evil then , and they are even more evil now . I give my dad great credit for breaking all ties with them when a pastor actually called his daughters whores

[Kitty Herder]

15. You're right. Evil is the only word for it.

I'm sorry you went through that.

[JitterbugPerfume]

17. what does not kill you

only makes you stronger!

[Joanne98]

20. That's for sharing. We need more personal stories.

[JitterbugPerfume]

11. by the way

my sister was raped by an Assemblies of God preacher who just happened to be her father in law . I remember my dad trying to KILL him when he found out . He was drummed out of the church ( the preacher ) and went to another state just like nothing ever happened and continued doing his evil

[TexasObserver]

12. we need video of her in a church service

[rebel with a cause]

13. How about video of her preacher when he is

giving a sermon that might be controversial. :sarcasm:

[L0oniX]

14. Yes ...a video taped sermon about wives being subservient to their husbands on MSNBC would be nice.

[TexasObserver]

16. just seeing them whooping and hollering would be scary to many voters

[TexasObserver]

21. a video of her preacher talking in tongues and casting out demons would work

[The Straight Story]

18. Yeah, and dems are taught that war is bad, but it still gets funded....

what people are taught and do rarely seem to match up in public life ;)

[Fuzz]

19. My father being a recently retired AG minister, I'm quite familiar with

the church. Grew up in it my entire life, I know the doctrine and the people. Been to their national meetings and everything. My father went to the bible school in Missouri that Ashcroft's late father ran and knows the family. I guess what I'm saying is I'm familiar. I don't know exactly how 'into' it she actually is, but it's scary enough.

With all the religious zealots in the world doing stupid shit, we certainly don't need another one of God's Warriors that close to any military control.
