The Threatpoint of No Fault Divorce among Clergy

How No Fault Divorce is weaponized against church leaders.

Readership: All; Christian Men
Theme: Christian Community; Metacognitions; The Christian Red Pill
Length: 1,100 words
Reading Time: 6 minutes

Intro

Weaponized No Fault divorce is certainly on most men’s radar these days.

I believe much of the current awareness of this crime against both faith and humanity was made possible by Dalrock’s exposé of this malady. Older readers may recall Dalrock’s observations about wives’ threatpoints and the churchian’s flaccid response to these behaviors — behaviors now deemed selfish and evil by the Christian Manosphere.

Here are a few of Dalrock’s posts on this topic, in case you came late to the Christian Red Pill.

In sum,

  • Wives withhold compliance and sex in a very effective strategy to manipulate their husbands’ behaviors and decisions more to their liking.
  • Wives use No Fault divorce as a threatpoint to coerce or force their husbands to do or to accept nearly anything to avoid committing mass carnage against the children.
  • More often than not, divorcing wives cite unbiblical and willy-nilly reasons for all this.
  • Churchianity, the courts, and all of Western society fully enables and supports all of this.

In this post, I want to expose one unique way that this threatpoint applies to clergy, i.e., deacons, elders, pastors, priests, and other leaders in the church, and also laymen’s overall interest in church.

The Emergence of the Red Pill Christian

Paul Elam’s exposition on the rise of the Christian Red Pill.

Readership: All; Men; Christian Men;

Length: 3,000 words

Intro

Paul Elam released a landmark exposition in his podcast, The Emergence of the Red Pill Christian — 425 Episode 4 (2024/6/21).  If you haven’t heard it yet, it’s a must if you wish to stay current on developments within the Christian Red Pill sphere.  Elam has used this exposition as a springboard for many of his more recent discussions and interviews.

For the Red Pill record, for doing text searches, for the ease of citing quotations and references, and for the sake of discussion, I’ve transcribed Elam’s exposition below.  [Images, links, and section headers added by Jack.]

Beatniks, Hippies, Boomers, and the Emergence of Post-Modern American Culture

How the Boomers rose to cultural preeminence, and ultimately worldwide.

Foreword

RonTomlinson2 asked,

“My overriding interest in boomers is: How on earth did they get that way?  Because the best men died in two world wars?  Because of mixed schools / more female school teachers?  LSD and pot?  Less corporal punishment at home?”

In this essay, I’ll expand my response to RT2.

I’ll briefly recount the historical development of the liberal counter-culture that formed the backdrop of the Boomers’ childhood and adolescence, and how this contributed to the formation of their own sub-culture of “sex, drugs, and rock music”, dissident life philosophies, and rebellious values — what we now call “Post-Modernism”.

Requiem for the Blue Pill

The modern intersexual / social contract is intractably revoked, thanks to The Red Pill.

Social Systems Depend on a Shared Mythos

A while back, I wrote,

“Any system depends on a majority of people playing respective roles that support the system. Having a critical mass of people conforming to such roles is what makes the system work.”

A social paradigm can only ‘work’ in reality so long as the masses share the same faith beliefs or mythos concerning human ambitions, nature, and purpose.

“The current system is broken because there is too much confusion and disagreement over what those roles should be. Men prefer traditional gender roles, while women want a revised role of being independent from men. We are far enough into it to see where Feminism will lead (female dominance and male oppression), and as more men see the eventual outcome, more men are fighting against it.”

The Blue Pill is Boomer Morality

Moral codes are changing back to pre-Boomer times.

First of all, before we get into it…

What is The Blue Pill?

Looking back over the past several decades (I’m 53, so I would know), I would summarize The Blue Pill as…

  1. A Compromise — The Blue Pill is a collection of lies that men have bought into as a compromise with the overweening societal forces that Feminism and sexual liberation have wielded over the past 60 years; thus identifying said compromise as a symptom of Boomerism.
  2. A Faux / Relative Morality — The Blue Pill is an expression of what I’ll call ‘Boomer Morality’ in this essay and the next, best encapsulated in Boomer / Complementarian theology, although it isn’t truly moral at all (only from their own gynocentric viewpoint).

I’ll explain these two points further below.  I’ll make some loose assumptions, but overall, it correlates quite well.

History, Goals, and Purposes

Even in this age of apostasy and tribulation, God continues working throughout the lives of many men, as well as my own.  I have always written with the conviction that my testimony, my life experiences, and the things I’ve learned are valuable to other men, and that it’s important for me to share these things for the benefit of others.  It is for this reason that I’ve had a habit to pray frequently about the purpose of this blog, what I should write about, and what men need to read and know.

My work as a Blogger began on March 7, 2008.  My original purpose for blogging was to distribute teaching materials (for a Sunday school class I was teaching at that time) in an easily accessible and shareable format, and to foment discussion. The general appeal, and the quality that made my teachings popular, was its focus on applying the scriptures to the metaphysical incongruences of human nature through an ontological lens that would now be called a Mystical or Romantic Christian approach.

Jack’s post, Thus Saith Ye Olde Red Pill Lore (2025/12/15) described how Red Pill wisdom has not just gone mainstream, it has become the new standard for based thought.

Funny timing. I was writing a note in a similar vein and planning on sending it in.  Well, here it is.

Summary of Christian / Mystical Awareness (2025/12)

Finishing off the year with some crucial insights.

Readership: Christian Men
Theme: Christian / Mystical Awareness
Length: 600 words
Reading Time: 3 minutes

Overview

This month polished up some ideas that were introduced in an earlier theme, Awareness and Introspection, that aired in August and September of this year.  I split this theme up because it was 3 months long, I needed more time to research and prepare these posts, and I wanted readers to get a fresh take on the posts below. Interestingly, it coincided with similar articles appearing around the sphere in December.

Closely related posts that appeared around the sphere during this month are included.

Ask and Ye Shall Receive

God’s Loving Provision vs The Prosperity Gospel.

Theme: Christian / Mystical Awareness

Intro

It’s that time of the year when we’re thinking about what gifts to buy for others. Or, if you planned ahead, you’re thankful to be finished with your holiday hassles.

Lest we forget, this custom is a reflective imitation of the Lord’s gracious gift of Himself to us.

But our habit of giving gifts freely is NOT how God gives to us, but rather, how we would prefer it to happen — as a $uRpRi$e! that is within our Controlthat’s what all the hassle is about — Control budget, Control spending, Maximize impact, Control outcome, Control… Somewhere in all this, we hope to enjoy it for a few moments — IF we Controlled everything well enough.

I do not mean to say that God is Anti-Control, or that He gives gifts with strings attached, although it often feels that way. But rather, He gives us gifts that equip us for His purposes, and only when we’re ready and willing.

To illustrate what I mean, just ask yourself, “What are you getting from the Lord for Christmas this year?”

You won’t wake up on Christmas morning and find that all your debts have been paid off by a wealthy philanthropist, or that you suddenly have the special gift of prophecy.

It might happen, but probably not.

It’s out of your Control.
