What happened to Laine's Letters?
 

Every now and then when I'm having a though day and need some inspiration for my homemaking I go and read some of Laine's Letters, but it appears to be gone :( does anyone know why the site to her letters are gone? did they move and google has not updated it yet?
This is driving me crazy I love reading her letters.

Re: What happened to Laine's Letters?
 

GAK!!! It's gone! I can't even find a cached version! Panic!
(I swear I'm not making fun of you. I love her!)

Re: What happened to Laine's Letters?
 

Oh no! I have also enjoyed these from time to time.

Re: What happened to Laine's Letters?
 

I know it's horrible! I'm panicking too....Thank God I printed some of them out but I'm still missing so many of her letters!!!! is the site down for good or is there just a technical problem?? :nails

Re: What happened to Laine's Letters?
 

:nails i had them saved on my old computer but never printed them out before it crashed on me. Her letters were so encouraging :(

Re: What happened to Laine's Letters?
 

I liked them too. I hope they come back.

Re: What happened to Laine's Letters?
 

I just noticed the same thing the other day. I was going to link to her flour tortilla recipe on here and the website was gone. :sad2

Re: What happened to Laine's Letters?
 

Oh no! I was just on there a couple of weeks ago.

Re: What happened to Laine's Letters?
 

looks like a few of them are archived here:

Re: What happened to Laine's Letters?
 

Thank you so much! one of the articles I wanted to read today was in the link you gave so I quickly printed it out before it disappears too! and will be printing out any letters there that I haven't already printed!

Re: What happened to Laine's Letters?
 

wow, I wonder what happened?:nak2

Re: What happened to Laine's Letters?
 

Maybe a book of her letters will be coming out soon. :think

Re: What happened to Laine's Letters?
 

I'm on her yahoo group. I wonder if someone on there would know? She posts on there from time to time.

Re: What happened to Laine's Letters?
 

If you can find out that would be great :yes and now that you mentioned a yahoo group that might be something fun to join. can anyone join or do you need an invite?

I just checked, and I guess it isn't a yahoo group... just an email list. The subscription address is: Laines_Letters-subscribe@welovegod.org

Re: What happened to Laine's Letters?
 

Laines' Letters are punitive :(, and physically so. Just thought I should add that in for anyone who is following along.

Re: What happened to Laine's Letters?
 

really??! :cry does she spank her kids? I have yet to read on the punitive subjects, most of what I read so far was how to be frugal, clean, cook, get up early....
That's sad because she always seems to be so *gentle* and kind that the thought of her being punitive never even crossed my mind :(

Re: What happened to Laine's Letters?
 

That's too bad. I've been on her email list since at least 2009 (I just looked back through saved emails) and I've never seen anything punitive or dealing with corporal punishment. Almost all of her emails were about her relationship with the Lord or home management. I know she wrote about her new grandbabies and that she adopted a daughter in recent years, but I never read anything that she wrote that was punitive.

I guess the good news is that it doesn't seem like it has been a focus in the past few years. I just re-skimmed the emails that I have saved, and didn't see any mentions.

Either way, I've really been blessed by her ministry. :heart

Re: What happened to Laine's Letters?
 

I used to get her emails too but then I read one that was very, very heavy WOS that struck me as really icky. I think I remember a punitive one as well. But I'm glad her articles are available so you can pick the good ones and leave the icky ones behind. :tu

Re: What happened to Laine's Letters?
 

That's a bummer. :sad2

We have a sticky with a lot of links to Laine's Letters, and I'm sure that PurpleButterfly wouldn't knowingly include anyone who violated the Statement of Beliefs, so maybe she didn't archive much of the more controversial stuff?

Now I wish her site was up even more, so I could go search for punitive stuff. :shifty

Re: What happened to Laine's Letters?
 

It's in the letters linked to in this thread. The the first one I pulled up actually, about toddlers. Tapping fingers and a "Fanny Whacker".

I had read these when I first joined GCM and saw the links and really enjoyed them, but I did remember the punitive ones . . . I didn't notice nearly as much then because I wasn't as sensitive to it back then I guess. So when I saw this thread I looked for it . I'm going to do some more reading today and find the parts I had enjoyed when I first read them :yes

Re: What happened to Laine's Letters?
 

Subbing, bc I too have really benefitted from Laine's letters. I am saddened to hear about the punitive stuff.

Re: What happened to Laine's Letters?
 

Eep! :shifty

Re: What happened to Laine's Letters?
 

Just thought I'd update to say that her site is back up :grin

"fanny whacker"

"while employing the fanny whacker swiftly to their bottom"

"I wanted them to "feel the sting" of discipline which was doing its work to cause them to obey me and to feel the separation from me due to their disobedience"

:sick :cry
