JFDI'S FIRST REMOTE

 Corona be damned. JFDI (amending its moniker slightly to Just F***** Dial In), had its first remote meeting on Google Hangouts. Aside from a substantial technical issue (Tom could be seen and not heard...come to think of it not such a bad thing hahaha) the meeting was lively, resulting in the second highest rating ever.  Including a digital show of hands (below)

And we have a transcript of Tom’s interventions below. 

Corona be damned. But I repeat myself. 

4.9 btw. (Minus our postal vote Alastair). 

JFDI FOREVER!

Thomas Wellsbeyond the obvious abuse, one of the subtly horrible things about Gene was how he would allow some freedom to Tara and then close it down

7:12 PM

Thomas Wellsthere was also the freedom he gave to Tyler and the oldest brother but so much less to Tara and Audrey. Not surprising but still disturbing.

7:14 PM

Thomas Wellsone of the upsetting things for me is how much support from the community this family got, especially after the business took off. People at church knew about the abuse and the damage done to the children but allowed it to persist.

7:17 PM

Thomas Wellsthere are sects of the mormons that are extreme. the daanites were a nasty offshoot in the 19th c that informs Gene.
