Sister Wives Recap Season 19 Ep 13 2/3

[@lynnemanwaring]

I thought that Robin was offered half of Janelles area in the house is Lehi either upstairs or downstairs but she refused because she was saying that she couldn't because she wasn't married to Kody yet and that wouldn't be appropriate, even though him going over to her house by himself was, (she and her kids could have bonded with the rest of the family and helped them with their finances).

[@NotestoSelf444]

It’s funny to see where people “lines” are. What’s inappropriate & what’s not 😂😂

[@amyprince600]

My jaw dropped when Aurora said that she had taken a class in Buddhism. I wouldn't think that Robyn and Kody would allow anything like that. I was also kind of proud of her for it, because she was going against what was expected.

[@NotestoSelf444]

I was stunned too. I’m glad she is confident enough to explore other things

[@amyc1037]

I think she took world religions. Made me wonder what her major is.

[@RNBarbaraP]

I bet Robyn n Kody had no idea at the time she was taking the class...

[@CK-mw3pv]

Surprised Robyn allowed her to take a Buddhism class, considering Buddhists renounce all things materialistic, that seriously goes against Robyn’s true religion, which is shopping. 🫢😂

[@amyprince600]

@CK-mw3pv FACT!

[@KatieCreek71]

Every single week you have the best reaction to the new episode and the best explanation of the how and why Kody and these wives are acting. Also, Robyn’s control over her kids is scary. Those girls look miserable and in turn are probably raging B’s to other people.

[@NotestoSelf444]

@@KatieCreek71 thank you! Yea the term we have heard that best describes Robyn is Devouring Mother. It’s a term Jordan Peterson uses to describe over controlling mothers. Those girls definitely look sad.

Marry mentoring women is the scariest thing I’ve ever heard of.

While in Vegas, the then teenagers wanted to attend a youth group from a local Presbyterian church. Robyn was adamantly opposed!

[@amyprince600]

@@Whiskeyriver714 That's why she went completely off on Maddie. The OG3 should have all said, "Not Your children, not your decision!"

[@MillersLostGoatFarm]

Robyn was extremely hard on the teens back in Vegas when they wanted to attend a non AUB church, now she is fine with her girls trying out different religions and plans to go with them. Example of how she only really cares about her kids.

[@NotestoSelf444]

@@MillersLostGoatFarm so true. Most polygamist women are this way however

[@diannemascelle2823]

Thanks so much for your take on these episodes. Its so good to get an insight into the religious background beneath it all

[@NotestoSelf444]

You’re so welcome! I’m so glad you enjoy the insight.

[@bhd16]

You’ve mentioned a few times that you thought the Browns were the best family you knew to represent the AUB at the time. Re-watching the Darger episode and wondering if you ever considered them a more functional family back then? Their ability to share a kitchen, their willingness to be open with affection. Alina’s Dad made them wait 2.5 years for Joe to prove himself instead of marrying after only weeks. I’m sure they had their issues but they all appeared much more invested in the “big picture” of family than the Browns, even then.

[@NotestoSelf444]

I love the Darger’s. I’ve known them personally. They aren’t apart of the AUB however. I would definitely put them up there as one of the more high functioning families I know. Joe is a great guy in my experience. I worked for him for years. He always tried to be fair & balanced.

[@bhd16]

@@NotestoSelf444 Were they in the AUB at the start of Sisters Wives or were they always independent?

[@NotestoSelf444]

@ they have always been independent. 1 of the wives was AUB for awhile but she left to marry him.

[@AnnahRobinson-Harris-nr1zg]

Meri said on her channel the other day that it was strategic she says she and Janelle are in contact and that everything is not as it seemed on camera and that she and Janelle are fine ! Also I’m sending you a message because I think ai figured out how the info I told you last week about Coyote Pass and the “satellite AUB” thing happened

[@NotestoSelf444]

I don’t doubt it. I’ll watch for the message. Thanks

[@TTalks93]

Kody proving his worth= cutting his hair. He won't do it 🤣 All bow down and worship the noodles (all 4 of them) 🤣🤣🤣

[@yverami]

My theory is that Robyn wants to be Mom of the Year or something. Thats why they make a big deal of shooing away Ariella because there was criticism over her knowing too much about adult stuff.

[@NotestoSelf444]

I think so too. I didn’t let my kids be involved in adult conversations either.

[@northvanamy]

Robyn's daughters always seem sad and/or worried. I hope they can get out of K&R's house soon.

[@JMP829]

Before K&R were married, Robyn lived jn another state and Kody traveled on weekends to see her. Would the AUB have approved of Kody staying overnight at her house?

[@NotestoSelf444]

I wouldn’t think so but that’s why he took his older daughters.

[@jenhalpin]

It’s really interesting when you think about the way that Kody said they would marry a married man.… I could argue that that is what Robyn did; she married a married man.

[@NotestoSelf444]

Yep, we used this expression all the time

[@laneneal3510]

We’re here to experience good, bad, sad, happy etc… we chose to have this experience and the people around us to experience a life to work out. It’s really not a test as much as working on experiences and getting the best out of it. More of a lesson that we chose.once you get YOU chose, life gets lighter and responsibility becomes easier bc that’s what you came for. Be kind

[@NotestoSelf444]

That's a beautiful way to look at life!

[@cherylynpotter1401]

When Kody brought up the big house Robyn really didn't say anything. She literally said I was watching my sister wives to see if they knew anything about it Cuz I didnt. She was picking at the furniture that was white. She hated it and knew Christine would squash it.

[@janineslifeofadventure]

In the AUB, if the girls don't practice polygamy, are the mothers punished like you hear of in other groups?

[@NotestoSelf444]

I haven’t heard of that. There might be disappointment in the parents but not punishment

[@laneneal3510]

Kody expects the kids to be taught to revere him by the mothers. So bc they don’t want to be around him, it’s the mother’s fault.

[@evabridgeforth8489]

@@NotestoSelf444 But do they remain sealed in the afterlife if they don 't practice? Or could a mother lose her children in the afterlife if they don't practice?

[@NotestoSelf444]

@ good question. The rules change all the time. It depends on who you ask. I don’t believe any of their stories or made up rules. Some teach the yes they would be separated

[@TTalks93]

My religion taught that we would be tested, but the happy times were gifts/blessings from God.

[@whatthefifty]

Mormons do not believe in the Trinity in the same way Christians do. Mormons believe in the godhead- 3 distinct “personages”, as they say. (is that even a word? lol) 3 gods in one. Whereas in traditional Christianity it’s one God, yet 3 different (but yet the same 😅) representations.

[@NotestoSelf444]

Oh, thank you for clarifying. Good point

[@evabridgeforth8489]

Sorry I didn't see this before I put my clarification up further in the comments. This is actually a very big deal in Christianity, specifically in Catholicism.

[@lindaweckerly5232]

I absolutely love you guys‼️‼️ Do you think Robin’s girls are only controlled by Robin? I feel bad for them because I think they’re under Kody’s thumb as well🤔😳 Talk about a “NOT SAFE” place to be (using Kody & Robin’s favorite words)

[@NotestoSelf444]

Thank you! I absolutely think she has a great influence over their lives & decisions.

[@0917Sweetpea]

I’m sure there were other celebrations. Have K&R invited the family to anything? It doesn’t seem so or cameras would have filmed it.

[@hollishaley-o5u]

The girls kept saying that they could not find young men at college that they felt comfortable around. There are Christian campus organizations that they could have participated in where people practice their faith. I just don’t buy that they couldn’t find a group where they felt accepted and could make friends if they were open to it.There are other organizations on campus that are social groups but I guess controlling mom would not encourage that.

[@TulipsandCats]

It was rumored that Kody had a failed courtship that ended in Feb 2023. Supposedly it was filmed and then the woman backed out. I wondered if that played into his anger.

[@chelseal654]

Non LDS Christians believe differently about the Trinity and the nature of God. We don’t have the concept of exaltation, and we believe that Jesus, the Father, and the Spirit are co equal, co eternal, and of the same nature and united in character and purpose. Christians outside the LDS Church don’t believe Christ is a created being. We believe that he voluntarily took human form, not that he was a literal descendant of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother.

[@NotestoSelf444]

I love that explanation too. Most of my siblings that have joined non denominational Christian churches believe this yoo

I wonder every time I watch and listen to Robyn speak if she realizes that the majority of people watching don’t believe 99% of the words we hear. Does it affect her? I don’t know how I could face those cameras and act like that. Something feels so wrong with her.

[@NotestoSelf444]

I’ve wondered that myself. I wonder if that’s why her & Kody don’t do interviews like the rest of the family does.

[@wallaceshotwell8168]

@ I don’t think they have the courage to answer hard questions truthfully. I understand that. They can’t do it. They’ve weaved a huge web of hurtful lies that will have a lifetime impact on everything going forward. That’s got to be,inwardly,beyond scary.

In the AUB, do they believe a woman will go to hell if a woman isn't in plural marriage?

[@evabridgeforth8489]

Christians believe that all 3 of the trinity together make one God, they are not separate. My understanding is that Mormons believe they separate things. That God the Father is separate from the Holy Ghost but Christians believe the Holy Ghost is simply another iteration of God himself, same with Jesus.

[@NotestoSelf444]

Yes, they are separate from the teachings

[@laurieerickson7205]

For all intents and purposes (for the most part of their marriage forward), K&R ostracized themselves from all of the others and blamed the supposed non inclusion of Robyn’s kids, she was only too happy to bring in one of her stepdads first wife’s daughter - not certain but maybe you can explain who Mindy is - sometimes on other platforms we’ve heard her called a niece - instead of accepting Christine’s generous offer to help with R&K’s kids, especially w the birth of Sol. We saw her ignoring Meri’s needs after a skiing mishap bc Sol was sick etc, and made sure either Mykelti or long shot, Maddie, was available to babysit for her anniversary out to celebrate w Kody. Those old episodes aren’t something I spent a lot of time remembering. Robyn was, tbh even back then, unlikeable and favored, manipulating Kody re how she was treated by the other wives and some of the kids.

[@NotestoSelf444]

Mindy comes from the 1st wife. The 1st wife had 1 daughter & 1 son (my husbands best friend growing up) the daughter then had around 8 kids. The son has no kids. Mindy was part of those kids.

[@Michelle-gy2qy]

Not all Christian believe in Trinity. As a three.
