Kendra Plans To Be Strict Christian Mother, Reveals Baby Names

[MosMom]

Her show is on E! and I always find it interesting how there are so many different viewpoints on what it means to be a Christian.

 

[paintnolish]

Good for her. Whatever. She is one of the least annoying reality stars out there, IMHO. She just seemed really immature but cute and bubbly. Who knows? Like a pp mentioned, Nicole Ritchies been pretty quiet lately!

 

[Rora]

Congrats to them.. I guess we'll see what happens as the kid grows up- if Kendra's on the air that long.

I read the OP's post twice and for the life of me couldn't find anything to criticize the mom-to-be about. Some of the posts in this thread, on the other hand...

I have watched Kendra a lot on The Girls Next Door. I have only seen episode of Kendra. But Kendra seems like a sweet person despite the other things she has done in her life. I think maybe she really wants to settle down and be a mother. People change when they know they are going to have kids or when they have kids. I wish Kendra and Hank the best.

So now that she's posed nude numerous times for the world to see, slept with multiple men out of wedlock, probably had at least a threesome if not a foursome, partied like a rock star and gotten pregnant out of wedlock, now she should be considered a good Christian girl, because now that she's gotten all of that out of her system, she's sorry for the life she's lead and realized she needs religion? Hypocrit. I hope her daughter turns out to be just like her mommy.

Sorry, guess I should have directed my response to Cindyluwho. I took her post to mean she's basically saying that Kendra is a better Christian than any of us might be because we're being judgmental. That seemed like it was looking to open up discussions of Christianity, which could/would lead to points and potential bannings for discussing a tabu subject.

ummmm, this whole thread is about Christianity and whether or not Kendra is a worthy Christian.

Kind of reminds me of Madonna, who did every basketball player in creation, then sat there with her fake British accent years later reading her stories she'd written for kids. These people want it all. Theres so much to be said for moral people who live their lives like a Christian their whole lives through, not just when its convenient and they find out their pregnant.

Well I feel like it is a little pot calling the kettle....If they feel like a strict christian method is the proper way who am I to say otherwise. How exactly you reconcile your wild past with that I don't know.

I do not know whether Kendra is sincere or not. She might just be talking about raising her child with high morals, who knows at this point. While we don't judge, we see who one is by their fruit or actions. So, time will tell.

However, it doesn't matter what your past is to god if you are sincere, He forgives. That's how Christianity works. So, if she is sincere, she would be forgiven for past mistakes just as we all are if that's the life we choose.

Kendra's the one who mentioned being a strict Christian mother. If she said vegetarian, while she was sitting there stuffing her face with steak and chicken, I'd probably have the same reaction.

I guess this is where my issue lies. Live like a complete heathen, then decide you're sorry after all the fun is over? And then, once you've been "saved" apply a different set of rules to your child and pass judgment on them because they don't live up to your new standards? I think it's completely hypocritical.

 

[MosMom]

Isn't that what most parents try to do? We don't go around encouraging our kids to drink/smoke pot/have pre-marital sex/etc though we may have done it. I guess for those perfect people this isn't an issue but I'd venture a guess that most people do have pasts they don't want their kids repeating.

 

[OctMtnWoods]

I am glad to say I have no idea who these two people are. At all!

YAY!

But I wish them well.

Me either.

I kept saying "who" as I read the OP looking for something that would tip me off.

 

[PrincessKsMom]

I agree completely MosMom. However, I would make it clear that it was my wish and what I expected of my child, not that it's what God wants or what God wants you to do. That coersion in my book. She shouldn't blame God for her reasoning. If she didn't care what God wanted while she was out tramping around, she shouldn't play that card with her kid. Of course, this is all JMHO.

 

[rie'smom]

sometimes those that have found religion tend to go totally in the opposite direction from what they did.
well since she was pregnant at the wedding, unless it was an "immaculate conception" we know she wasn't abstaining.

I know what you're saying but the phrase "Immaculate Conception" does not refer to Mary's miraculous pregnancy with Jesus. It refers to her own birth and the fact that she was born immaculate or without original sin-a pure vessel who would become the mother of the Savior.

Mods, I hope you don't get annoyed. It's history.

Exactly. It is not hypocritical to decide to change how you live when you have a baby and to raise that child to not make some of the mistakes that you made.

For instance, while my wife works for the diocese so is required to be at mass many times each week for her job, I pretty much never go to mass. Sure, I attend church functions with her, but I am never at regular masses. Come November, however, we will have a bouncing baby girl. At that point, we will attend regular weekly mass as a family because we believe that it is an important example for our child.

We also will do are darndest to ensure that our little girl doesn't make the same mistakes that we made growing up.

This isn't hypocritical, it's being a good parent.

No. It's religion. Wrapping up your religious dogma in history to get around a rule against religious discussions is not appropriate. Heck, I'm pretty sure that I can cite a commandment that speaks to the issue.

Kendra's life doesn't affect me in the least. I wish her the best with her marriage and baby.

You might want to talk to Jesus and or God about that one then. I am pretty sure they are a little more forgiving that you are apparently. I am sure you can throw a rock and hit a Christian who hasn't always been so "good". That makes them hypocrites too? And I think there's something about being judgemental too.....

It took me a minute to see what you were saying was directed at someone else and not at my comment. I agree with you.

When sincereity is involved, forgiveness is a wonderful, wonderful thing for all of us. Whether it is between God and people or people and people. We all want to apology to be sincere and we all want people to try very hard not to repeat the same mistake.

Kendra may or may not be meaning anything this deep at all, but time will tell, won't it?
