How could they avoid knowing about it when Blob and Michelle are giving them an eyeful of simulated coitus on a public golf course. *barfs*

This episode made me a little sad. In a different kind of household that valued education or independence Jessa might have turned out to be a bad ass corporate CEO. Instead they try to turn her into the model Gothard helpmeet. Lost potential. I agree with those who prefer Jessa's bitchy streak to Michelle's smarmy cooing sweetness and submissiveness. At least Jessa has a spark of authenticity left in her.

Ben's hair looks like a Beef-eater's hat. Ugh. Whenever Jim Boob, font of troglodyte spooge, speaks I want to punch him.

^You may be right-- you know way more about the prophecies than I do. At first I thought the cult might be grooming Joshua as the Messiah, but I started to get a sinister Damien-vibe from him. In the theology of the end times, does Anti-Christ have to arise first so that he can bring about the second coming and the final battle? If so, maybe the desert fanatic people are trying to kick start the process by cultivating Creepy Boy.

For some reason every time I see Peter I think Don Draper. His weird incestuous fantasies make him extra-skeevy. I'm pretty indifferent to most of these characters, except for Avram and Red. So, is the creepy little boy the Anti-Christ?

Holy crap. They take every precaution against glimpsing or baring an "immodest" inch of flesh, but they leave guns lying around small children. Friggin' morons.

*Eyeroll* at skinny-dipping scene with the reincarnated emo daughter. Yuck. This show seems "meh" so far.

The Duggars will only spring for grape Kool-Aid. :/

I thought this was hilarious, I mean what the hell has Abby been doing all these years? What does it say about the kind of dance training that ABBY provides if Maddi doesn't have good feetflexibility, or beautiful extensions? I guess she's admitting that she sucks as a teacher?

Yet another thing that annoys me about them: Their stinginess with hospitality and their greediness for gifts. I don't think stinting wedding guests is biblical. I thought a wedding feast was supposed to be the opposite, as in generously celebrating with the guests and not just proclaiming "I'm getting married so gimme stuff!" Maybe Ben and Jessa think they're being righteously frugal, but it just shows their total lack of good breeding.

Man that was boring. I'm starting to miss the batshit weirdness of Vince.

Another signature Abby routine: rolling on the floor, girl turning in isolation, more rolling on the floor, girl turning in isolation...zzzz...

Jim Boob can't be reproductively competitive in a normal society. The only way that a red-necked, flabby, butt-ugly moron like him can catch a woman to inseminate twenty times over is by using religious ideology to brainwash her first. Gothardite men can't compete on their own merits (education, accomplishments, looks, brains,etc.) so they need his bullshit teachings to land women and exert control over them.

Anne was way too into education for her to be a good example for Duggar girls.

I wish the ladies had cut her a little more slack. Hope this doesn't turn into another Christi vs. mean girls situation.

I'm getting a Matthew Von Ertefelda vibe from him now.

Dumbass Deputy Dog is more interested in stuffing his face than police work...

But that's exactly what he did. Quoting from his deleted post: "I will in no way support, but will call them out because I love them and desire that they be turned from their deadly errors..."

Lord, what a troglodyte moron-- like father, like son.

Calling the eucharist the "death cookie," is erroneous, hateful, and irresponsible. Death Cookie Writing a tract suggesting that the Jesuits were responsible for the Holocaust is unconscionable and woefully inaccurate: Holocaust

Yeah but I bet you don't go on anti-Catholic rants without really knowing anything about Catholicism the way Ben does. He probably doesn't even know much about the history of Christianity, let alone the practice of other religions.

For all their constant quoting of the Bible do they really reflect on it? If they did, wouldn't this passage from Matthew feel uncomfortably close to their own lives: 5 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, 6 And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues I mean doesn't it remind you of a family that famewhores on TLC who lengthen the denim hems of their skirts, broaden their modesty panels, and love being in People and US Weekly, and any form of the spotlight?

Hopefully, a Tyson-like figure will emerge to dispense some home truths when Vince has his breakdown: "Dude, don't wear feathers in your hair..." "Dude, don't tell stories about your coconut-selling prowess--people just laugh at you..."

Well my mom had lupus nephritis-- it destroyed her kidneys and she was on dialysis. She was sick all the time and the complications killed her. But she wasn't bed-ridden till the end and she certainly didn't use the disease as an excuse to maliciously troll people on the internet. It's nice that Miracle could develop a friendship with this demi-hambeast Kara, but I hate how Kara somehow tried to make it seem like "lupus made her do it." No, your stupidity and selfishness made you do it.

Oh absolutely. We are all guilty of doing that at times-- I mean not wanting to look at our own faults first before pointing an accusing finger at others. I think your attitude toward self-examination is admirable. Jessa's post does not display a similar level of introspection.
