 Above Rubies - Cultish? |
UncleJD |
To cut to the chase, I have family members aligned with this movement. At first I thought it was a good, sound, return to wholesome, biblical family values. However, as time goes by, I'm starting to see a few troubling signs. Including a recent assertion that a woman isn't really a Christian if she works outside the home (apparently its OK to run a home business, though I couldn't find any scripture for that one), and yes, it was nearly that verbatim. I was shocked when I read it. Not to say that I don't believe that is the "best" way when possible and if the woman feels God giving that opportunity. But as a condition of salvation?

I have heard very little about 'Above Rubies', on the surface I admire the thoughts and ideas. But what you are saying is OUCH, that is going too far methinks.
Great Ideas and Dreams do get sidetracked when binding something tighter and tighter...
But some rules become IMPOSSIBLE to follow with the family situations in today's world.
But on the surface, Yes the stay at home mom is actually a ery good idea..... When possible...

This is yet another group that claims to adhere to strong Biblical teachings but ventures off into the weeds of legalism with its many “rules” about what women can and cannot do. A quick Google search reveals much to be concerned about.

Thanks, I agree. I googled it before posting of course, but most hits that were branding it "cultish" were from feminists or anti-fundamentalist groups who pretty much tag anything they don't like as a cult. I read their concerns and do actually share them, but I'm hoping to get a little more "meat" on the plate, maybe from someone from an actual fundamentalist (though the word is maligned these days), point of view similar to mine. I was hoping our buddy Ralphael Martinez might have something on them, I'll check his website after posting this. |
