Revealed: Amy Coney Barrett lived in home of secretive Christian group's co-founder

Amy Coney Barrett lived in the home of one of the founders of the People of Praise while she was a law student, raising new questions about the supreme court nominee’s involvement with the secretive Christian faith group that has been criticized for dominating the lives of its members and subjugating women.
[snip]
The revelation offers new clues about the possible influence of the People of Praise, and one of its leaders, on a woman who may shape the direction of the supreme court for the next 40 to 50 years. Barrett has said she is a “faithful Catholic” but that her religious beliefs would not “bear in the discharge of my duties as a judge”.

Public records – and a record of a speeding ticket – show that Barrett’s husband, Jesse, apparently also lived in the home in the years before their 1999 marriage. The public records examined by the Guardian show where individuals receive their mail, including bills. It is difficult, based on the records alone, to determine when precisely individuals lived in the residence. The database shows no other residence for Amy Barrett at that time.

Well, well, well, confirmation of radical, demented, religious beliefs. Pence must be having sleepless nights he is so over-the-moon about his dream judge. Apparently, they want America to be a radially conservative religious country.

puke, puke, puke

1. Getting A Whiff Of Harem Here, Sir

Most cult leaders insist on some 'personal touch' with female followers....

[mcar]

23. It sounds decidedly creepy and culty, doesn't it?

[The Magistrate]

25. Indeed, Ma'am

These secretive, hyper-christian cults with a charismatic leader requiring strict bible adherence are by now getting the air of a pizza delivery in a porno. There's always some reason the tender young things should know the 'personal touch' of this godly man.

[intheflow]

24. Yep.

Manson and Jones come to mind.

[The Magistrate]

29. As Do Koresh, Sir, And Jeffs....

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

27. the perks of the alpha.

it's what politics evolved from.

[The Magistrate]

28. So 'Tis Told, Ma'am

As one might hear 'lucky we drew the crooks, not the puritans' from an Australian, we seem to have drawn for ancestry chimps not bonobos....

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

30. my son used to say- pity we didnt descend from gorillas.

but i cant see a path for that. bonobos, now, that could work.

[The Magistrate]

31. More A Difference Of Culture Than Genetics, I Expect, Ma'am

Could have gone either way.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

32. meh. war for territory is how chimps evolved and took over.

without being killers, we would all still have built in fur coats.

[The Magistrate]

34. Perhaps, Ma'am

Since Robert Ardry and Desmond Morris I have seen little but sport in attempts to picture pre-species history.

[benld74]

2. She is NO Catholic

[mysteryowl]

4. Good point.

[BusyBeingBest]

3. Mmm, so cult-y.

[mysteryowl]

5. Hopefully, she will be asked about this in the hearings.

I will call my Senator about it.

[Captain Zero]

33. Cultish with an extra side of creepy, please

nt

[Blue Owl]

6. Wow, a real-life handmaid!

How quaint...

[quaint]

22. I disagree '‿'

quaint: attractively unusual or old-fashioned.

[Blue Owl]

42. Sorry quaint -- I should've included the "sarcasm" emoji

(sarcasm intended)

[cilla4progress]

7. They have more in common with fundamentalists in

other countries and cultures, than they do Americans!

[madaboutharry]

8. This woman may have fit in ok at Notre Dame,

but she never should have come anywhere close to serving as a judge.

She is a religion zealot. I don’t believe she doesn’t bring that to her opinions.

[Karma13612]

43. Since that type of faith

Goes so deep, she wouldn’t even realize she was basing here court decisions on those innate beliefs. It is who she is.

I have to say, I wasn’t sure if she just looked washed out and pale at the party because she hadn’t slept or was tired, or having some residual COVID effects. She seems very lifeless.

Now I am wondering if this is her demeanor, bred from years in this Patriarchal cult.

We need to do everything in our power to keep her off the supreme Bench.
She will do more negative harm than all of RBG’s years of good.

[Miguelito Loveless]

9. Sex cult vibes all over it

Any group that pushes that "subservient wife" bullshit are running a sex racket.

[2naSalit]

15. +++++++++++++!!!

[Loge23]

17. Yes! Absolutely! (eom)

[mr_lebowski]

51. Darn ... Sex Cults are never as cool as they sound (nt)

[Snarkoleptic]

10. Barrett needs to be grilled about any oaths she's taken.

Tho she'll prolly lie about it and justify that as 'lying for the lord'.

[PSPS]

11. These are all the same. She was sleeping with Kevin.

[kimbutgar]

12. No Supreme Court Religious cult member this should disqualify her.

Keep finding more stuff and take her down.

[mysteryowl]

13. Call Senators, so they know too!

Senate Judiciary Committee (Democrats) - CALL THEM! They need to know about this!

14. Sharia law. "Christian" style.

That's what Republicans want. It's amusing (kind of in a not-so-funny way) to watch them whine about "sharia law" being implemented here --- WHEN THEY'RE GUNNING FOR HAVING IT IMPLEMENTED HERE THEMSELVES -- only they'll call it "Christian".

Pffft.

Pretentious hypocrisy is ever their hallmark.

[2naSalit]

16. +1

[LastDemocratInSC]

36. In her case I'd call it Maria law.

[NorthOf270]

18. Getting a strong Warren Jeffs feel from all this.

[hamsterjill]

19. Just listen to that mousy little voice.

I’m being VERY serious here. For example, women in the Quiverful movement are taught to speak “sweetly” at all times. Listen to Michelle Duggar.

ACB sounds the same way to me. Beaten down and lacking self-worth.

[Totally Tunsie]

44. And then they raise their daughters the same way so they

know no other lifestyle...and the cult continues and flourishes.

[hamsterjill]

45. Yes, exactly.

Until one rebels, and then they make her life a living hell.

[truthisfreedom]

20. Ma'am, not to seem unseemly, but... were you ever "touched" by the chosen one?

And can you point at the doll and tell us where?

[LovingA2andMI]

21. Let's GO with This.

Make It An Issue. She's A Cultist and SHOULD NEVER SIT on the U.S. Supreme Court!

[LovingA2andMI]

26. She Is Dangerous

This Nomination MUST BE STOPPED. Amy Coney Barrett is a CULTIST.

Destructive cults, groups, movements and/or leaders "maintain intense allegiance through the arguments of their ideology, and through social and psychological pressures and practices that, intentionally or not, amount to conditioning techniques that constrict attention, limit personal relationships, and devalue reasoning."

[NBachers]

35. This is getting closer to the NXVIM Cult scandal.

[LudwigPastorius]

37. Was she one of them, whatchacallit...'Sister Wives'?

[Ferrets are Cool]

38. They wont fucking care if she shot someone on 5th Ave.

[DeminPennswoods]

39. She either belongs to a cult or a modern day hippie commune

My bet is on cult.

[mr_lebowski]

52. Interestingly, Jonestown was pretty much both those things ...

But I bet this one wasn't.

[patphil]

40. Sounds like she was part of the cult's inner circle.

[SunSeeker]

41. Wait, she lived there with her husband before marriage? Isn't that fornication?

So the People of Praise are hypocrites. As usual.

[klook]

46. Freak. (nt)

[certainot]

47. i was going to say she needs to be convinced to withdraw considering danger to all

but i doubt there's anything there

[Evolve Dammit]

48. No wonder she's so fucked up. These religious cults are not unlike the Cult 45. They are wedded.

[oasis]

49. K and R

[Vivienne235729]

50. Amy Covid needs to go away right now. We got too many dumpster fires goin on.
