Oh, that's right...he's not gothard, he's Vision Forum? Or they one and the same? Still. He needs to come to Philly, he doesn't even need to go to the bad neighborhoods. Center City could be a start, in the gayborhood :-)

Ben needs to put his mad skillz to work and preach in Philly. I'd watch that. Hell, we would even put him up, free room and board. Perhaps he could even take a religion class or 2 at Temple, where my son (who also is named Ben) goes to school. Just imagine. Gothard fundie comes to Philly, lives with atheist heathens, and preaches to inner city youth. TLC, get on this.... (Edit...I put this in the wrong place, I don't know how to move it, eek. It's supposed to be with "Ben Drops Beats"..)

Now THAT I would watch:D

I just finished the book. I went to buy it a few days ago only to find I already bought it (Kindle book)I thought it was well written and just heartbreaking that the author went through all that ....as well as others. What struck me curious was the fact that while she mentioned many people associated with this terrible cult, I don't think she mentioned the Duggars at all save for once. I was hoping that she would blast them in her last chapter like she did others. Perhaps she has good reason. I applaud her for all she's done to bring all this mistreatment to light. I'd love to send a copy to all the Duggar women:-)

Jessa needs to get the hell off IG with the judgmental bible quotes and take care of her kid before he gets smothered. Christ....

I get the sense that JD is probably one of the few of the bunch that will be ok, he works for the township, doesn't he? He seems to actually work at being productive and I get the sense he just 'humors' his father (I'm recalling one show where his father goes on patrol with him and didn't listen to his son AT ALL...the son just laughed it off and said not much happens around the area, anyhow) and may not take him too seriously. I'm guessing he's closer to his twin that it may seem. I'm hoping so, anyhow....perhaps I'm projecting my hopes on these kids. I dunno. I suspect he's rather reserved and that may come off as being rather dim witted. I couldn't tolerate a camera following me, no way. I would look like a complete idiot, I keep to myself. I get mentally wiped out going to visit close friends. I can't even imagine growing up in a family like that.

I had to do the same in respiratory school.

Oh, I thought they were using the flashlight on the phone. Mind, I'm not defending them AT ALL. Those thoughts just ran through my mind when I saw the clip. I really don't they should be on the air anymore either. I worry that I'm complicit in keeping them visible because I follow this board and I used to follow a FB page that snarked on them. For some crazy reason, I really like following the posts here. I feel terrible for the kids, even the older kids, and I know they are just as annoying....but that's all they know. Josh? I'm of two minds concerning him, but I probably went too far off track already...

That's horrible! Who does that?? Wow....

Im not trying to defend these parents, I despise how they've raised those kids....but I really think when the child fell, they were using the flashlight feature on the phone at first. Later when they are taking the child to the ambulance, I think JB was using the camera to get video? As to Michelle smiling....yeah, she's out to lunch, but do you think possibly she is smiling because she is really upset and she's reacting abnormally? I've done that more than once. My child was hurt once and I was so scared and upset....but I was laughing. I wasn't laughing because I thought it was funny that my child hit his forehead and had a nasty cut....I was scared to death. (He was ok, by the way, just a nasty cut and he was scared, too). When my first husband died, at the service, my stepdaughter was laughing and I could tell she was really, really upset. She was saying 'I'm sorry, I can't help it!' I felt so bad for her. Sorry for the book, it was just an explanation...

Just got it for kindle. I'm stuck in the hospital this weekend (shelter in place) because of the Pope's visit. I'm looking for good books to read! This lump pressing against your trachea doesn't sound good. Did you tell the doc this? I hope they can help you...

Say wut!? A 6:1 ratio in the ICU? Oh, hells naw....I can see that on the floor, but the ICU? That hospital must want to get sued.I'm not a nurse, I'm a RT, and a 6:1 ratio would be gravy to us, but all we deal with is the respiratory system.... Good luck with your job hunting, I'm sure you will find a safer hospital:D

I've used phoenix as user names for quite some time....I started using it when I was first separated from my ex and I thought of the proverbial Phoenix rising from the ashes...:| the 62 is my year of birth (1962) meaning I'm old as dirt:D

I don't know if I can post a link? If no, I'll remove it... I saw this on my FB feed... https://www.distractify.com/deborahgross-jessa-disses-josh-1327288613.html?ts_pid=2
