And we'll be subjected to another FUInternets!!!! episode dedicated to the Duggars and their "pets." I am still aghast that a guy wearing a ribbon from his own baby shower that says "New Dad" is setting such a shitty example for EVERYONE present. I also mistook Jessa for Joy in the background. My bad. Still heinous.

How ironic, since these people rail against the Hollywood Liberals all the fucking time. That's why they attended the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival that Vison Forum put on when it was still operating. Remember the episode when they took the entire family, including littles who could never understand the material, to see Fireproof? I think that was Kirky Camoron's first appearance on the show. So yeah, the last laugh is on them.

edited because your post popped up right as I hit send. To answer your question, let's ask Jessa what SHE thinks. I guess if animal abuse is extra-biblical, then it isn't a sin, and they're good to go. *eyeroll* They always claim that "dominion" means to protect with love, but their actions, including senseless over-hunting and other crimes against animals (including not spaying/neutering) demonstrate abuse, not dominion. I don't remember the last time when people I don't know made me so angry.

A lot of people I know have saved it, repost-apped it, reported it, tagged it to PETA, etc. They won't live this one down. I even posted in his comments that Karma is a bitch. I know they don't believe in karma, but they do believe that your actions are reflected in what comes back to you (which is essentially karma, but they'll never recognize it as such). At this point, I don't care if he blocks me; I had to say my piece. I can't let the defenseless be potentially hurt at the hands of these assholes.

I find it interesting that she had to be asked before it became known that would happen next week. So, while it's a money-grubbing move on the part of the Bateseseses, they still haven't mastered PR (aside from Lawson, who is posting like gangbusters from the Philippines). And speaking of the mission trip: STOP POSING WITH THE NATIVES! They really don't like you; they're using you for medical services, and will revert to the ebil Catholicism after you leave!

Yup. I edited my post because I initially said that Derick thought it was funny, but since he didn't say that, I changed my post to reflect his overall idiocy. But the lack of conscience is plain to see. The Duggars obviously let these poor animals run around hungry in the snow, but do nothing to catch them, and have them spayed/neutered to control the population. Just like them. Maybe we should start trying to run over Duggars with the same glee that the Duggars (and a Dillard and Seewald) had trying to run over that cat. It would certainly help curtail overpopulation. Just kidding! I don't want Duggar spawn run over (well, maybe Smuggar and Jessa). I merely used this example to illustrate the irony in what they're doing. Irony is a concept I have noticed again and again is lost on these self-serving idiots. Fuck them all. I am so angry that I can't see straight. (edited b/c I'm so angry that I can't type, either)

And since the timeline of this show is somewhere in September or early October (since they've now gotten Jill to 12 weeks gestation), I expect this real-time gender announcement to occur at the very end of the second episode, or even during the Little People show afterward, to boost that show's ratings. I believe they did the same thing with the announcement of M4.

https://instagram.com/p/zrE6hfmCSv/?modal=true The fact that Derick doesn't see anything wrong and posted this to his Instagram proves that he is just as much an asshat as the rest of the Duggar clan. The shouts of "Get it!" (sounds like Jessa) and "Pow!" (one of the littles) in the background as Ben shoves Derick toward the cat are unconscionable. Thankfully, he's getting plenty of heat for this.

Jill has only really started to stretch herself out since she got together with Derick who's what? 6'3"? How tall is Ben? I never see him with Boob, Smugs, or the Pigboys, so it's really hard to tell. I'm guessing about 5'10"? There doesn't seem to be quite the height difference between him and Jessa as with Derick and Jill. Did anyone ever see Jessa's feet in any of the wedding pictures? I hope she didn't go barefoot like Jill. Especially in November! That said, I doubt she rocked awesome fuschia hooker heels like Alyssa Bates did. Those shoes were awesome!

Don't get me started on the Rodrigueses. Jill Rod is a narcissistic bitch, and it's obvious that her husband is first in line when Nurie (the oldest daughter) cooks the meals. They are currently touring Florida, living in an RV and singing in churches for their literal supper. I know people who tried to call CPS on them when they started this RV odyssey last fall, but the Rods keep one step ahead of the law, including untracable trac-fones. They are disgusting people who shouldn't have one kid, let alone almost 12 (plus five "babies" in heaven). gag I think the Bateses tolerate(d) them. They photobombed Erin's wedding pretty effectively. After that, I bet they weren't extended invites to either Zach's or Alyssa's weddings.

http://www.allurebridals.com/products/m503 This is the dress I thought she'd go with when my friends and I contemplated this last summer/early fall. She could have rocked this, too.

It was pale blush. Very pretty color. (edited because the sentence posted twice...spooky!) :D edited again because I want to brag. I went to the website of the dress company that did Jill's dress (I picked that dress, but in the MODEST style that wouldn't have needed alterations). I knew Jessa would go with a ballgown, and only dismissed the dress she picked because I thought it might be a bit too blingy for her. Close up, it was very detailed with the pearls and crystals. I went with something a bit quieter, but still ballgown in a color that wasn't white (it's been a while, but I went with something more ivory/off-white). I was both shocked and happy that she chose that dress.

Vanity sizing is insane, and insanely inconsistent! Depending on the store, I'm anywhere from a 4 to 10 in pants, and XS to M in tops. Being short, big-boned, and curvy is pretty much the trifecta of cursed. Don't get me started on trying to find petite sizing! At any rate, I think we can all agree that Jessa was too thin last year. Her wedding pics looked great. The ballgown did a great job of hiding the extent of her thinness - including the boned top which gave her a couple inches of bust. The only pics that were not so hot were the ones that showed her bony lantern-jaw from the side, and the upshots they did while sitting on a couch that also didn't flatter her face structure. When she had that extra 10 lbs., her face wasn't nearly as severe, or as I called it before, pretty much gaunt with sunken cheekbones. :/ MMV, of course. :)

Another time glitch. If they booked the church in June, they would have met with the coordinators then, not 2 months beforehand. The reason I know that the scene there was a setup (IF they did book in June) lies with Sierra Dominguez. You may recall that she was largely pregnant at Jill's wedding. In June. She had the baby in early September. Ergo, this was filmed sometime in September, most likely; I doubt it was any later than that. Thanks for yet another scripted, fake scenario, TLC!

Yup. That's why I questioned when the pee stick had actually been peed on, since the picture was taken when they were wearing the same clothes they filmed the scene in. I have a feeling they taped the scene at the Dullards' house about how the family would react AFTER they filmed the actual announcement.

http://www.inquisitr.com/1631191/anna-duggar-discusses-how-she-faked-faith-to-appease-others-i-was-just-acting-like-a-christian-video/ An article from last fall that I haven't seen until today, and I watch these people pretty closely. I can't watch the video portion because it freezes my laptop, but the article states that Anna pretty much "faked" her faith for much of her youth. It interestingly states that she came to faith by fear (kind of like what Jessa was trying to pull with that Facebook stunt the other day). She didn't want to die unsaved; she had been trained to understand that would mean going to hell. What a sad way to live and to come to true belief.

One of the old specials stated the kids' heights. At the time, Smuggar was around 17 and at his full height of 6'. Jill would have been 14, and at the time was listed at 5' 6.5". Jessa, around 12 1/2, must have been in the middle of her growth spurt; she was "five foot two, eyes of...hazel." (Yes, I remember that...*hangs head in shame*).

BMI has pretty much been debunked as garbage. Jessa has a VERY small frame, so she can carry the same weight as I can (five inches shorter), and I am the one who looks underweight because of my larger frame. Jessa's collarbone was scary visible before her wedding. Scary. You could see the bones in her elbows. Her face was gaunt. She was MUCH thinner than she was in earlier years at the same height. She looked like she needed to gain about 10 lbs. These numbers would put her right about where I said she likely was at the time. Now, it's hard to tell because she's been well-bundled against the weather. But her face looks a little fuller, so she has perhaps gained a few pounds back since the wedding. At any rate, both she and Jinger have appeared to be scary thin this past year, and Jessa was dieting (per her IG) last spring/summer in anticipation of Jill's wedding and her engagement/wedding. Given Mechelle's admission to an eating disorder that was cured by prayer (okey doke, I do buy that she had some issues relating to weight), and Mechelle dragging Jana to Weight Watchers when she was 16 to lose 10 lbs., I wouldn't be surprised that these girls had body image issues, especially in these years when they are required to attract/marry eligible fundie men.

Jessa is about 5'5". She is shorter than Jill, who is about 5'7", but taller than Jana, who is around 5'3". At her thinnest, and she's small-framed to begin with, I don't think she weighed much over 105. My size 8/105 is on a 5' frame. Of course, this was bridal sizing from 20 years ago; I was around a 2-4 in "regular" clothes, probably about a 0 now. I imagine bridal sizing has likewise gone the way of vanity sizing, but just not on the scale we see now in regular clothes. I doubt she is much over a 0 in "regular" clothes these days. Same goes for Jinger. Joy looks larger only because she's curvy, but at best I bet she's maybe a size 4-6.

The bridal shop apparently posted somewhere on social media (a friend of mine saw it, I can't remember whether it was twitter or IG) that the bridal shop reported that Jill was too sick to attend. Interesting that the DUGGARS couldn't come out and explain this. It's not that hard. Jessa was SUPER skinny before the wedding. I imagine she was about a wedding dress 4. I was an 8 and weighed all of 105 lbs. (110 max, it's been 21 years since I bought the thing). I bet she bought the dress ahead of time, just like she booked the church, and as has been posited here, this "shopping" excursion was all for show. Lily and Ellie of the Duggar Blog mentioned that there were tears from Michelle. WHAT? She didn't even make a pretense of dabbing away fake tears like she did at Jill's fitting. Who are those people trying to fool? No one cried) (aside from Ben's mom because the scene was FAKEITY FAKE FAKE! I imagine Ben's mother hadn't been a part of the original shopping trip, hence her show of emotion vs. MEchelle's stone face and crazy eyes.

Erin announced in Instagram today that next week's episode will reveal the gender of Baby Paine. eta: Erin's post was not to solicit viewers (as the Duggars would do). She just posted an ultrasound pic of Baby Paine sucking its toe, and waxed rhapsodic about how cute it was. :) Someone asked her about the gender in the comments and she responded with the information about the show. It's refreshing to see that the Bateseseses, save Lawson, are neophytes at the famewhore game.

It was a First Response, so a middle of the road test. Yes, they posted a pic of themselves with the day-old pee stick (if it was really a day old and not just peed on). I imagine Mechelle keeps tests around because her periods are becoming irregular due to perimenopause, and she interprets every late period as a potential pregnancy.

Nah, it will just be the Mender. Nothing to see here. However, I found this pretty funny. https://instagram.com/p/znRGVHGrTt/?modal=true Don't break the doors down in your rush to meet them. LOL

I certainly give little to no credence to someone who was raised in a cult or her husband, who was raised on the fringes of one (Vision Forum), before its demise. Frankly, if anything it makes their screeds more understandable; they don't know any better because they have no idea about questioning or critical thinking. They write from the ignorance that comes from blind belief.

A commenter on the thread said she plagiarized much of her post from the Teen Study Bible. FWIW. They've plagiarized before without giving credit to sources. A decent homeschool education would have taught them how to cite material; even Pa Seewald does it. I'm glad that other Christians are chiming in and giving her grief about her assumption of an "angry, vengeful God." And yes, that's all it is because there is no proof of God's real intentions. In the end, though, she just got a People cover. The spotlight is now on her, and voila! This post appears out of the blue. Nice publicity stunt there, Blessa.
