Christian-ese translated to English: Duggar Family Turns on Joe, Emails Decoded
In this episode, Gavi proves how much he has learned about fundie culture by showing Sadie his INSPIRED AND PRESERVED translation from Fundie/Christian-ese to plain English of the Duggar Jail Emails that were obtained by Lilly Archive using the FOIA. Sadie then provides additional cultural context as well as a few things from these emails that stood out to her.
In the extended Patreon edition of this episode, we discuss Amy Duggar King's April Fools Day post in which she joked about interviewing Bill Gothard.

14. Un-Clobbering the clobber verses
53:28||Season 2, Ep. 14EVERYONE who signs up to my giveaway with @bellesaco will receive a FREE Rose suction toy with their order! https://www.bboutique.co/vibe/leavingeden-podIn this episode, we go through seven major bible verses that are most often used to promote anti-LGBTQ hate within Christianity and alternate (and in some cases more accurate and reasonable) interpretations. Sadie's theory is that in these verses and that everywhere that "sexual immorality" is mentioned in the bible, there is an element of consent that is often ignored by evangelicals or Christians who would use the bible as justification to hate members of the LGBTQ community. Gavi's belief is that it doesn't matter whether or not these verses refer to homosexuality because discrimination and hatred are against the higher-priority biblical commandments to love thy neighbor.These passages include Genesis 9, Genesis 19, 1 Corinthians 6, 1 Timothy 1, Romans 1, and Leviticus 18.00:00 - Happy Pride!05:25 - What are "Clobber verses?"07:25 - Genesis 9, Noah's Ark and the Curse of Ham15:18 - Genesis 19, Sodom and Gomorrah27:02 - Romans 1, "A reprobate mind"33:38 - 1 Corinthians 6, 1 Timothy 140:04 - Leviticus 18, "It is abomination"42:40 - Kavod Habriyot, and human dignity46:50 - Romans 13, "Love Thy Neighbor," and financial ethics
