Hey all, hope you're doing great.

OK, I just watched Lisa on this Jeff Probst show (On the Couch, I think the name was). I did a search and I don't think it's been discussed on this forum yet, so did anyone catch it? Now, I'm nuts about Nancy McKeon, but Lisa has a place in my heart like all the cast of FOL, so I did finally get around to watching the interviews she's been having lately.

But this interview, well, it kinda brought tears to my eyes. They were all talking in that open way about how sex has changed, how men have changed because of porn, and it was just so obvious that Lisa was being blasted out of the bubble she had been living in since FOL. Honestly, that woman is just so...innocent, y'know? And I mean that in a really good way, because I don't live in America or in an Americanized or Westernized culture. It's just refreshing to see someone who has the modesty to cover her face with a cushion like Lisa was on the show!

The discussion wasn't smutty, it was very blunt and actually very important in this day and age, but Lisa was uncomfortable, and that made me want to hug her so bad. Did anyone else watch this show, and if so, what were your reactions? It's available on Youtube, I suggest you all do watch it. And I apologize if there's been a topic on this before.

You know I am the same way I don't live like the world wants you to I am a big Christian person and I believe in living the way God wants (modestly). And it is nice that Lisa is the same way that's one thing I really like about her. And also on the show when they were doing that on the couch I noticed she seemed kind of embarrassed with the topic or she wasn't as comfortable with it and you know If that were me I would of felt the same way I mean talking about sexting that is something I would never do. I am not really a big fan of flaunting my sexuality or doing things like sexting and going around talking about my sex life that is something I keep behind close doors and me and my husband don't' really have a kinky sex life and that doesn't bother us we are happy about that. So I knew exactly how Lisa felt during that part of the show. And there was one part of the show I really wanted to hug her was when she was talking about her divorce and she said that she had to shut her heart off more and more to stay with Steve as long as she did. I fell really bad for her cause she loves her family so much and it's to bad she wasn't romantically in love with Steve, but at least he was a nice man. Lisa is just such a neat person and I pray that good things will come her way in the future and she will find a man that she will truly love romantically and one who is a good Christian cause she deserves to feel love like that.

Thanks for responding, and for feeling the same way as I do. I got tears in my eyes again when I read what Lisa said about her divorce. I haven't been able to watch the whole thing because of some problem with my Internet.

I'm not even a Christian, I belong to another religion altogether, but when Christians or people of any religion stick to their true values and sometimes get uncomfortable or even bashed because of that, it just makes me want to...I don't know, hold them close, support them for all it's worth.

Ah well, the rest of you please watch the show, and jump in with your opinion. But be respectful to Lisa, I have a newfound love for her now.

I enjoyed the interview with Lisa On the Couch and I could not stop thinking about what she said about her divorce. I thought, wow, give that girl a medal or something!!! For her to approach her whole married life with the idea that "God was just going to take care of everything" without listening to what her heart was telling her was simply shocking. I mean, who does that in their Christian faith?? I for one have to sense something what God is doing; we are told it is "faith, not feeling", and all that, but when you are trusting God for everything in a marriage and not anticipating the bumps and "landmines", that takes an incredible amount of bravery. I'd like to know more about how Lisa did it all, and for how long this happened.

OK, so I have watched the whole jeff probst show with Lisa since my last post, and yes, both of you are SO right. It was heart-wrenching to hear the words she said about her having to shut her heart off in order to stay.

I mean, all those years? And her life was so stuffed--with homeschooling, scrapbooking, giving talks and tours, not to mention blogging for dear life. She did all that, had a productive life in spite of...her heart. And she plastered a huge smile on top of it all.

When she said those words, I started crying like I was PMS-ing like crazy! I re-watched it all last night, but skipped that part. I couldn't take it.

Anyone else see the whole thing? One other question; have any of Lisa's kids talked about this at all?

She really IS amazing, and wow, when she does something like this to bring us to tears, it really makes me wonder just WHAT really did go on all this time? :eek: :crying:

We can go through so many things with God and feel we're "honest". I'm just wondering what she'll write about next about this chapter in her life. Why was not Steve more receptive? I really have no idea. I feel like I need to watch some more of this episode. Is there more to this episode after this? I saw the whole "sexting" part, which was silly--even though I thought her hiding her face with the pillow was funny! :lol: But I'm still trying to find out more.

I don't think we will ever know the whole story. I mean I would kind of like to know but it's really non of our buisness it's between Lisa her family and God and if Lisa wants the world to know she will come out and talk about it. But I know her kids haven't said anything since the Jeff Probst show aired. I know after the news of her divorce came out alot of people wrote on Lisa's Surivor Fan page and gave there words of comfort and Lisa's daughter Clancy replied by saying thank you and that they are trying to get through this the best they can and are rallying together as a family. That's all I know I just wish the best for Lisa and her family in the future.

True, she is a rather private person and she will say as much as she feels she needs to in time.
