The Jail Emails/Joe Duggar Pleads Not Guilty: Our Analysis
Today we discuss the latest developments in the Joe Duggar case. Duggar has pleaded Not Guilty to all charges in Florida, has been released on a $600,000 bond, and (we think) is back in Arkansas.
YouTuber Lily Archive has released numerous phone calls as well as emails sent to Joe Duggar while he was in jail in Arkansas. She obtained this material using a FOIA request (she has shown provenance). These are extremely telling. We give our impressions on this material, especially focused on the emails.

UPDATE: Between the time of filming and release of this episode, Washington County District Court sent me the documents that were published by Katie Joy as well as others, and they are the same documents, they are real.

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
