For the record, Dr. Laura’s husband, Lew Bishop was a Christian. He and their son converted to Judaism for her when her son was 5. I also believe that Lew was still married to his first wife when he and Dr. Laura started dating.
 
Her show is no longer carried on any local radio station here. But what I recall is that so often people call in to complain about their spouses, and her response was something like, "You picked him (or her). Why are you complaining now. And to tell the truth, that is the hardest thing for me in understanding unhappy marriages. After all, it’s not as though the two were forced to marry each other. They chose. So why complain about one’s own choice?
 
I am a full-grown man, I dont get shrill - I get growly (I think, ha ha)

Have you listened to he radio show for several days, I have. I understand getting loud and condensending when she has to put up - OVER & OVER - with really dumb and immature women. It gets to be too much for her since she has said the same thing over and over.

This is another place you can catch her at 2 pm to 4 pm Central time.

I like listening to her. I do not agree with everything she says but most of the time she makes sense. She had good days where she will put up with more and she has bad days where she is very brisk.
 
I like Dr. Laura. I don’t agree with everything she says, but most.
She does not sit on the fence, there are no grey areas when it comes to morals. I really don’t care what religion she is, she does promote the Ten commandments. For a while she seemed to promote LDS religion. It really amazed me since I have read her 10 commandments book several times, and LDS does NOT conform to some of the things she says in her book. It seemed obvious that she had not studied the LDS faith. I faxed her a list of reading material, including LDS websites, (all material is used by LDS) and asked her to read and study before she continued to praise this religion. I haven’t heard her proclaim the LDS faith recently. She had been going to Salt Lake and having book signings at some of the book stores. I wondered if she was buttering up the LDS so they would purchase her book or if she was just ignorant of the religion. Dr. Laura took a strong stand about the Catholic priest sex scandal. She said that she would not leave children alone with a Catholic priest. I faxed her a note on that statement as well. I asked her to read all the small articles in the paper and she would see all the problems in other churches with pastors and also problems within the LDS faith that they have admitted. LDS is offering counseling, etc. to those who are/were sexually abused by church leaders. (I read this in the Salt Lake newspaper some time ago.) While our scandal is horrible, we do not get to take all the credit for sex abuse. I think Dr. Laura jumps on a subject too quickly sometimes without doing the research needed to present a true view of the problem.

Dr. Laura suggests that to forgive someone who has not asked for forgiveness is redundant. She is right on! God will forgive you all your transgressions if you ask and repent. He does not if you don’t!! This “forgiveness” thing, ( “she really didn’t mean to hurt you” but, it is hard for her to apologize, etc.)… and the “don’t judge” statements are allowing people to do whatever they want and we are to for-go our morals and be accepting of bad behavior. What are we teaching our youth??

Dr.Laura doesn’t have to listen long to her caller to know the situation. She has the “screener” get the info, it is right in front of her on a monitor. Many times, she is just verifying the info with the caller. This helps her zero in on the “problem” and get on to the next caller.

I would be surprised if Dr. Laura actually becomes a practicing Catholic, but I would love to be surprised.

I like Laura’s candor, but sometimes she can be harsh. She does NOT hold a PHd even though she’s called “doctor”.
 
I love Dr. Laura. I just wish we could still get her here in Chicago. Her flaws make her more interesting. I haven’t heard her in about three years. :crying: Has she become Catholic yet?

And, no I don’t think she rejected the Church. She has respect for the Holy Father and many times praised the Church for upholding our teachings on birth control (even if she didn’t agree on it totally), on abortion, homosexuality, etc.

OK, I found a place to jump in here. I listened to her on and off when she was on in a Chicago market. She is off here now, but I remember her saying that she went to the Vatican and had an audience with Pope John Paul II. She advised him that Catholics were looking for advice and they needed direction. Did she ever get that right! Also the Pope called for a new evangelisation (not sure of the dates of this) and I think he took her words to heart. He gave Relevant Radio and other Catholic radio programs encouragement. I have often wondered how much Dr. Laura really told him. No matter what else I think of her bluntness, she had the courage to say what was on her mind. I do hope she contemplates coming home.

This is an honorary degree. I think she has an undergraduate degree in something related to counseling. I believe this is also true of some other radio personalities that we call Dr. I don’t think any of them have tried to mislead on that.
 
O.K., go to the Dr. Laura website. www.drlaura.com, you will get her full resume. She does indeed have a Ph.D (Physiology) etc, etc.

Actually, she has a PHd in Physiology, and not in Pyschology like you would expect for someone that gives advice on the radio.

I have listened to her off and on for several years. I do not like when she hangs up on caller either. One poor guy had low volume on the telephone and couldn’t hear DR. L. And he would say pardon me about every minute. Dr. L complained tht he was making fun of her and hung up.
Other calls that I I thought were way off-
One woman called and was wondering about her on the road salesman husband who wasn’t home very often. Dr. L said that he should quit his job to be home. (What about all the military who are gone for a year?)

Best response to a call about divorced parents and shuttling kids. Her response, the kids should stay in one home, and the parents should shuttle in and out.

I don’t really like her lack of compassion, and she really hangs up on people way too much. I think the women/men who call her and say they are living with their boy/girl friend, should expect to be yelled at.

I like Dr. Laura. I used to listen to her all of the time before she got kicked off the air in our area. Sure, she is rude, but I think you have to be outrageous in some way to be a popular secular talk show host. One of my favorite phone calls went something like this: “Dr. Laura, my boy friend and I are living together, and we are both very spiritual. We are very very serious about our religious beliefs.” Dr. Laura’s answer was something like, “What! What religion do you belong to? I would like to know what religion promotes SHACKING UP as a doctrine!???”
 
We lost Dr. L in our area in parts and last year they took her off completely with no explanation. I didn’t realize this was happening across the country.

Although I wasn’t enamored of her I did find she showed much respect for catholicism and I admired her for taking a strong stand on so many issues…especially the gay agenda.

Would that our own bishops would do as well…anyway I suspect that is why she is ‘disappearing’ from the local radios.

Does anyone still get her on the radio?
 
If anyone says anything honest about the gay agenda they are shut down rather quickly. Western Culture is actually any more “anti” culture. Serious Christians have a rough road ahead. But we knew that all along.

Speaking of past sins, I just did a Google search on Dr Laura. There are some nude pictures of her posted on one site! :eek: She really was in excellent shape back in her youth… :cool:
