All this recent conversations about women sitting around knitting small things combined with the emotional unpleasantness of Debi Pearl reminds me of the time I crocheted a bunch of cat butt coasters. Who said knitting or crocheting had to be nice little ladylike things?

This is from a very old piece by Debi Pearl from way back in 2002 as published in No Greater Joy magazine titled ‘The Jezebel Profile’ While we’ve quoted from here before somehow I missed all this burbling on how having emotions is the evil, a way to control and manipulate your husband. Debi thinks having emotions is trying to control your husband, not what it actually is. Which is human, normal and understandable.

Emotions, the good, the bad and the ugly, are all just part of the human experience. Jesus wept, is Debi going to claim he was sinning?

Yaaas, gurl! Jezebels can even come in the guise of Godly older women ordering their followers to ditch their own emotions and common sense.

Seriously? Is there any way that Debi herself has not been attempting to control Michael all these years this same exact way? How many stories has Debi told about Michael that makes it as crystal clear as the water bottled by Deerpark that Debi is controlling? I guess this is a case of ‘Do as I say, not as I do’ so popular in Quiverfull.

So sinning can come by clearing your throat? What’s a girl to do to keep from sinning when literally everything is a sin in the gospel according to Debi? Can you tell your husband you are concerned about his blood pressure when he screams at the tv during political or sporting events? What about a gentle word when he’s behaving irrationally? Where is her line?

It seems with Debi and the other female cultural enforcers that if you are not contentedly smiling and doling out ego-stroking compliments to the man in your life then you’re busy decorating your handbasket straight to hell. What a way to live!
