Ah now Abby, you would be putting words into my mouth dear. I never stated "Dr. Patterson (as) only having the experience of 3 years w/ Roloff." I merely pointed out some of his prior experience.
As for a fool, one is defined as such:
1. a silly or stupid person; a person who lacks judgment or sense. (Those who know me will agree this is not typical of my normal behavior.)
2. a professional jester, formerly kept by a person of royal or noble rank for amusement: the court fool. (Again, not something that applies.)
3. a person who has been tricked or deceived into appearing or acting silly or stupid: to make a fool of someone. (Generally does not apply, however it can...given the right circumstances...)
4. an ardent enthusiast who cannot resist an opportunity to indulge an enthusiasm (usually prec. by a present participle): He's just a dancing fool. (Again, generally no, this definition does not apply.)
So, shall we lay aside the insults and interact like adults?
As for my personal opinion, having worked with the great baptizer of chickens himself (Lester Roloff), well that makes Dr. Patterson suspect enough. Not familiar with that? Read the book his wife wrote. Mrs. Lester herself, pants wearing, television watching, jewelry flaunting Roloff. All the things that were supposed to be such great evils & sins.
No, I do not know Miss Trudy myself, no, I do however, know others who do. I also know what the Kool-Aid tastes like, and what it feels like when the Kool-Aid wears off. One day, perhaps you will too.
In the meantime, if you have something to share, by all means do so, but to try to curb your sophomoric tendencies. Please, do clarify something for me, is it Rebekah, or Rachel? Which home? What are the rules? What are the punishments for not following the rules? What is a typical day like? How are the girls treated while on tour? How much & how often do they interact with their families? How often do they see a physician, clinician or other health professional? What if a girl has a different belief system, say Judaism?
