Unequally Yoked
No Longer Quivering has moved to Patheos. The blog is a resource for anyone fleeing the Quiverfull/Christian Patriarchy movement. Libby Anne, a Patheos blogger at Love, Joy, Feminism, got her start blogging by telling the story of her escape from this abusive religious sect.
It looks like the move-in is still in progress, so, although new posts will show up at the new site, the tabs, forum, etc are still getting set up, so you should use these links to read NLQ’s About and FAQ.
For me, the most terrifying aspect of this sect is its isolation from the secular world. Lax homeschooling regulations in many states means it’s legal for Quiverfull parents to under-educate their daughters (since, from the parents’ point of view, they won’t have careers or be decision makers anyway). One of the many reasons I love the public school system is because it’s a check on the influence of parents. I’d rather have kids with excellent parents chafed a little by unpleasant parts of mainstream culture than leave kids with really problematic parents in isolation.
