“Like way to throw both sets of grandparents under the bus. In particularly her maternal grandfather (Kelly’s father) who I believe passed away well before she was born so she didn’t even know him.”
“Honey you are GRADUATING. Go ahead and talk about you and your dreams. Your parents barely raised you the last few years and you have been shipped off to auntmom in Florida consistently. You deserve a day all about you.”
“That poor girl is brainwashed. It is no one’s job to judge the “level of godliness” in other peoples houses. Focus on your own walk with Jesus and don’t rank or rate others around you like these IBLP folk all seem to… cause THAT’S ungodly.”
“She must be joking. her teenage years were spent raising her siblings’ kids. her godly ma was hardly around.”
