Assuming this is right. Who is "we" and where did meet the Duggar intimate? Not to be difficult, but I tend to be skeptical about annonymous people on the internet.

That's an old picture. no Kendra. Derick with long hair. TLC couldn't spring for a new photoshoot?

Considering almost everyone in the picture is her sibling they could hardly pair her with somebody who's not. I don't think her stomach was flat. I've never had a completely flat stomach. It's genetic and something I would to work hard to get rid of. I don't think the Duggar girls would have much in the way of abs. It would require possibly defrauding exercises, and awareness of a party of their body they're told it's sinful to show. (bikini) She also was heavier before her enforced diet. I have no idea when she's due. My biggest question is why are they not releasing more information and trying to end the rumors.

If possible. Her sisters haven't always able to do that.

Jessa is not the only person who keeps wearing the same shoes. Jinger also seems to be wearing the same sandals she's had forever. I don't care what they wear on their feet for the most part. I doubt Jana made the bridesmaid dresses. Maybe Jana is Anne Elliot, unable to speak up earlier but is growing the wisdom to do so later in life.

Good! Me neither. She looks different especially when it's small. Who is the blonde near Joy? And who is Joy's partner? I didn't recognize Jill either. She looked someone else.

Meaning?

Yeah he made her carry the suitcases all the time, I'm sure she takes the trash out too! She also seemed to work harder than Josh when he owned the car lot. She did paperwork and office stuff on top of taking care of their and being pregnant.

I think he was joking.

When did michelle work?

Well it looks like Anna and Josh were in the wedding party(based on their outfits) so yes they seem to be working their way back to redemption.

I don't know on the one hand they don't show the family being too pushy about them being single. (Maybe they know it would look bad.) At the same time the father has made it clear he expects all of his kids to get married.One moment from the original show that really stood out to me, was a quiet moment when JB was talking to the littlest girls, and maybe a producer was also talking to them. They were asking the girls opinions on what they wanted to be, and one, I think, maybe wanted to be a doctor or something and that she did not want to get married. Jim Bob kept saying well you'll change your mind when you get older since she was like 6 or 7. She kept insisting she didn't want to get maried and he kept insisting right back. He got the last word, and he looked very grim while correcting her. Then at his daughters' weddings (at Jill's and Jessa's) he said 2 down, 17 to go, and then 3 down, 16 to go.

I don't think they need to address it. I'm more worried that she gets stuck in a courtship she doesn't want just because it looks funny. Hopefully if anything her singleness proves she can stand up for herself when necessary. That being said I agree with you about being happy for Jana she doesn't have a half-dozen kids.

That announcement reminds me of everything I've heard negative about Pinterest. "Too much Pinterest" "I like Pinterest but not all of it at once." "That's a lot of Pinterest" "We're gonna need a bigger board." "Everything is Pinterest today with you kids." I will say the execution is good and it looks good. Just too much!

Catering to grandpa's ego?

Suprised they didn't go with a biblical name. I was thinking Malachi or Moses. Mason is a top ten name. I also thought his middle name would be Joshua. Naming him after Michelle's father (Garrett) (I think) is a nice touch.

I just meant paparazzi in general. Actually TMZ reported on them many times, including long before the truth about Josh came out. The first TMZ Duggar story I remember is the gun picture (of a J-bro and an exchange student holding guns).

I think they're worried about TMZ. Or their fans showing up demanding free food? Somebody protesting? Most people aren't necessarily able or willing to show up in that little town in Arkansas just to attend a wedding for people they don't know.

So is there a new courtship for one of these lonely Js?

I like Jinger's hair in that picture.

Thank you for posting this! I've been thinking a lot about all of this. Everyone keeps saying the Bates are different, but it's some of them cut their hair and some of them don't. As for the highlighted section, I've been thinking about that. Not specifically Gothardism, but Libby Anne had several posts last week about Fundamentalism and the confederacy. A friend posted it on facebook and I felt it was worth reading. I never heard of Nathan Bedford Forest before the Bates. It's hard to say if the Duggars are much better, but some of their son-in-laws seem better informed about these issues.

Yeah it definitely looks similiar enough for this to be true. More to the point it looks like Mrs. Caldwell's (Kendra's mom) dress and she was a bridesmaid. Anna would probably have similiar but different dress to be a bridesmaid, because of being so pregnant.

Well this why I said I was hoping they would use the vow renewal to get gift cards for restaurants. It doesn't matter to me whether they got to the NICE one or the not nice one if they brought some of the kids. Someone should tell Jill R that at some point she will be too old to have more babies. Then she will want grandchildren, and probably want a lot of them. ( like JB and Michelle Duggar.) Being malnurished at young age sets up possible health problems and yes fertility problems (and pregnancy complications).

definitely Meyers and not Colbert.

How does Doug Wilson fit into Gothard, Pearl, etc.?
