Be a man the way your ancestors were- die from diphtheria on a field in France fighting a war for opposing churches 😅

Surely this is satire… Right!?!

She's gonna crash HARD

So join a church that supports your delusions while your family suffers? Yeah, lemme get right on that. 😒

Do keep in mind that your ancestors only did those things because they lacked any other choice… People didn’t used to make their lives harder just for the sake of it. They were just playing the hand they were dealt.

Surviving hardships that are from no fault of your own makes you a badass. Choosing hardships so you can impress people just makes you a jackass.

You know why they did that way back when? Because they didn't know better.

We know better. It's called being responsible. She really should stop promoting irresponsibility.

One surprise about having kids was that being in public with babies causes unhinged old ladies to come up to you and say absolutely anything they might be thinking. When I was at the grocery store with an infant and a two-year-old, one old lady came up to me and was like, "Stop now! I had seven kids because we didn't have birth control! It was terrible!"

Here’s a counter:

Marry when you AND your partner are ready

Have as many kids as you want and most importantly can responsibly care for

Do what you want to make money within reason?

Don’t expect other people to support your bad decisions

This all seems like common sense to me. Why would you purposely make unwise life decisions? Baffling. And to them I guess you’re not a man of you live your life wisely and responsibly? Make it make sense.

Something, something dance like no one is laughing. Wall decor energy.

He forgot the last step: die in your 50s of cirrhosis or lung cancer because that's the only way men were taught how to deal with stress.

…die of dysentery by 45

Dang bro, my ancestors were idiots too, but I don’t try to turn their stupidity into a flex on Twitter because I like to think our line has moved in a positive direction intellectually. And admittedly, they weren’t doing THAT level of dumb shit.

“Become a man the way your ancestors did: sign up to deliver the post through the swamps for the Holy Roman Empire.”

“Become a man the way your ancestors did: go out into the street and start yelling that you will shoot any person who would accuse your wife of witchcraft (because she’s on her third witch trial and shits getting ridiculous)”

“Become a man the way your ancestors did: throw a man overboard on the crossing to America. Then become a completely different man by switching your first and middle names so they can’t trace you”

I mean it is the playbook for a fundie family I know IRL. Husband loves to repeat “God will provide,” and I suppose that’s true if what God intended for them was a family of 9 living in a trailer, a failed attempt at buying and running a little-known restaurant franchise, crushing debt, and crowdfunding their kids’ birthday parties.

It’s sooo scary that people read things like this and do not immediately realize it is completely insane

Become a woman the way your ancestors did -

Fight for your rights like sufragettes.

Hide hat pins to defend yourself and stab the men who bothers you in the streets.

Find new statements to scare the patriarchy, be art/fashion/music/etc.

Just... don't become Karissa.

Jesus Christ on a Cheezit, our ancestors did that shit because they didn't have any other choices! And, frankly, the degree to which people "married too young" historically is vastly impacted by time, place, class, and culture. Noble Italian girls in the 16th century were married off as teenagers to men in their 30s or 40s, but peasants in England at the same time weren't marrying until they were in their mid-20s, including the women! Marrying too young when you weren't part of the aristocracy or otherwise independently wealthy was seen as damning foolishness, as the wisdom throughout most of Western history is to marry only when you're financially stable enough to support a family, and the arrangements were a mixture of finances and relationships between families. Your local church was made up of people to whom you were connected, who had a vested interest in you doing well and contributing to the community. But if you did some damned foolishness, most churches wouldn't hesitate to kick you out. Church wasn't as important as we think pre-19th century in America -- the numbers of people attending church regularly around the time of the Revolution was remarkably low, around 20-40%, according to Finke and Stark. Arguably, the church was used as a public hall in most American small towns, as the percentage of churched Americans only goes up to around 60% by the Civil War.

I hate when people use a bad image of the past to tell people how to act now, because if it worked for great-great-grandpappy, it'll work now -- except the thing they're championing was expressly not what worked for almost anyone.

Fundies make me want to throw big books of stats in religious history at them. Repeatedly. With force.

Her husband and children's ancestors didn't have the choice to do any of those things, so tell me again how great things used to be Karissa.

Is this the fundie version of YOLO?

Those all sound like terrible ideas

Anything to justify irresponsibility!

Except the church will just use you for free labor and then you're on your own when things go bad.

Become a man the way your ancestors did, get in over your head

Marry too young

Have more kids than you can afford

Start a business your not qualified to run

Join a church that will back you up all the way

There. Fixed it.

WTF

Make terrible choices, then join a cult that will back you up all the way.

Why did this make me think of Oregon Trail 😂

Be a man. Die a preventable death. Drink raw milk. Don’t vaccinate. Lean heavily on archaic belief systems. Feed the machine. Give your money to the tax exempt organizations. Be a man.

I was so confused cuz I thought this was satire and she posted it 🤦‍♀️ nope I'm the idiot lmao

I have seen enough people like this edgelord. They are in debt after failing their business, thrown to the nursery home by the kids they didn't raise properly, and still think they did everything right. All I can say is good luck. 

Because this entire experiment of humanity has worked out so well?

I didn’t think they were part of a church. I thought they just do a home church type of thing with like 3 of their friends.

This must be something going around the plexus crew. Someone else I know who does plexus also posted this.

Encouraging folks to get married as soon as their 18 is sooooooo weird especially when ur like 35+

Karissa my ancestors came from a matriarchal society that accepted same sex relationships. We are not the same.

TF? I'm confused.

Interesting life plan.

My grandfather didn’t do any of these things except for the last one and he was still a man 😂 guess when I die I have to tell him he wasn’t man enough /sar

no thank you ❤️

The post reads so much like satire.

With the extreme amount of shredded, plastic coated cheese she eats, it's no wonder she's constipated.

OK....so this guy really thinks this way? Is satire really and truly dead? Yikes on bikes....

lol once my dad raged cause he said we needed to “grow up” like he did. My parents had a shot gun wedding at 19 and from all points of view it was TURBULENT. He had to drop out of college and eventually did night school while working full time while his family had to live with his mother (I wasn’t born yet). I was blown away, like dad you literally raised us not to do the stupid things you and mom did

Ah yes the good ole days. When we lived to the ripe old age of "dead in childbirth"

I thought this was satire.

Genuine question — are the Collins part of a church? I feel like I’ve never seen the kids separated and mingling with kids their age. Or even exposed to other people.

Become the man my not so distant ancestors did: fight in multiple wars, become an alcoholic, beat your wife and kids, die relatively young from complications due to decades of alcoholism.

Do they belong to a church? Correct me if i’m wrong, but don’t they “home church” with some other fanatical randos?

This is sick.

Jeremy Pryor seems to have a bit of an ego. He is the brother of Kami Crawford and BIL of Ben Crawford, whose family of 8 have been vloggers- their youtube and instagram is FightForTogether. They're the ones whose 6 year old son got all the attention for running the marathon a couple years ago. Kami and Jeremy are on bad terms. (I live in the same city as all these people and at one point attended the same church, have no idea what the Pryors are up to now).

I thought this was an onion article
