  1. Many thanks for this explanation, I was angry on behalf of the girl babies now I am angry on behalf of the boys! My normal brain will never understand their way of thinking.
  2. Oh my God, is that what they really believe? This has made me so angry!! Of all the twisted things I've heard about this religion, this takes the biscuit, how can any woman follow a religion that preaches this crap.
  3. I honestly don't think even that would make Anna leave him, she knows now he molested his sisters...his sisters for Gods sake! And now the latest news of him committing adultery, and she is still living in the same house as him! I have felt very sorry for Anna, I don't think she deserves any of this, but, if she stays with him now, then I have lost patience with her.
  4. Well, well, well, wasn't expecting this news today. My first thoughts were, hmmm.....methinks maybe Derick has been more pissed off about the whole Josh thing than we gave him credit for, who knows what has been said at the TTH privately between the family these last few weeks, and maybe, just maybe Derick isn't buying into the Josh is forgiven BS and the only thing he can do for now is remove Jill and his son, I do hope that is the case. Seems suspect to me that although missionary work was always on the cards for them, the timing has been brought forward. Might be wishful thinking on my part, and I really, really hope this move away doesn't involve the Duggars in any way, shape or form.
  5. Anna doing the same old' Michelle' look, the beatific beaming up at her husbands face...who in the real world does that for Gods sake?!!
  6. Josh seems to have a huge sense of entitlement, he is the No.1 Duggar son after all and we should all bow our heads and acknowledge this! There is no way he will go back to school/college, there is no way he will work for anybody other than his father now, his total and utter belief in himself and his 'elevated position' as the golden child with a hot line to God will stop him doing this, I just can't imagine him toeing the line like us lowly plebs have to do on a daily basis, by turning up to probably menial/manual job as he isn't smart enough for anything else, being told what to do and being expected to do it. No, he will most certainly be 'employed' by his father, none of them will ever, imo, break free from Jim Bob.
  7. Well for once I am glad that we in the UK are so far behind in this Duggar fiasco, the interview hasn't been shown in the UK which is just as well as I think my head might have exploded. Was there any explanation/mention of why Josh wasn't taking part in the interview? I honestly don't think there is any hope for those girls, by the sounds of it Jessa and Jill are defending Josh, blaming the media and still toeing the party (JimBobs) line. They, and probably all the kids, are completely under their parents thumb, if this isn't enough to make them question their lifestyle, religion or their parents nothing will. It's a shame that neither of their husbands have taken control and said 'enough, no more of this', and distanced themselves and their wives from the family. Jimbob and Michelle brainwashed the kids about the evils of the 'outside' world and all the time the real evil was living in the house with them.
  8. I will have to rely on you guys keeping me updated or posting a link to this interview when it happens. But, when I read it was taking place in the Duggars home my heart sank, I think we all know how this is going to go........it will be all praying to God, Gods forgiveness, Michelle with the fixed look of total adoration on her face beaming up at JimBob.....sigh...... No accountability, just more covering up imo.
  9. Agree with the above, Anna's world has come crashing down around her I bet her thoughts are full of confusion and panic but, she is too 'institutionalised' into that life style to ever break free. This is a girl who has never had an original thought or opinion of her own, I very much doubt that even the thought of leaving Josh has crossed her mind, instead she will spend a lot of time praying about the situation. And even if she did leave, where would she go and what would she do? Three young children and another due, no money and no education, and doubtful if her own family would step in and help her, no, I'm thinking better the devil you know, she isn't going anywhere.
  10. I kept thinking about all this yesterday....yeah, I know, get a life....and all I could 'see' was Michelle's moon face beaming up at Jim Bob, them holding hands and praying to God, because sure as eggs God would steer them in the right direction and tell them what to do. I think this will be Anna's thinking as well. I don't think they will take any responsibility for what has happened in the past, neither do I think that the girls involved in this sorry mess will be given priority in their thinking, they won't see the destruction they have caused and the far reaching ripples that will spread out and cause havoc. Instead it will be all 'lets pray to God' ...yep brilliant idea, that way you off set your role in all this and firmly place it in Gods hands. Jill and Jessa managed to escape by marrying, they at least have a chance of a normal life, well, normal for them, but the other older girls are imo, doomed, all of them including the married ones, are so brain washed, so indoctrinated by JB and Michelle that I personally don't think there is any hope for them. Bit like the whipped puppy syndrome, they know no different and will keep 'going back' to those that use and abuse them, meaning keeping faith with the family not Josh. The way JB and Michelle have kept all the kids apart from the world, with home schooling, getting the kids to 'snitch' on each other etc has worked, they must know that now the s**t has hit the fan, that not one of them will speak out against them.
  11. Oh to be a 'fly on the wall' in the Duggar house at the moment! Although I am shocked at the latest news there is a part of me that isn't. I just feel sorry for the kids, all of them, not condoning what Josh did but, I think he is also a victim of how he was raised, Jim Bob and Michelle have a lot to answer for imo. All of it, the girls knowing their mums 'cycle' the dry humping, the innuendo about sex, kid shouldn't have this sort of knowledge re their parents intimacy, it's just wrong imo and then to be told they must be kept pure, all the fuss about Josie not having her shoulders covered....oh for Gods sake, knowing what we know now, how can those kids be anything other than screwed up?! I wonder at how many other 'secrets' there are in that family. Well the Duggar empire has exploded now, Jim Bob and Michelle have made their millions so they will still live a comfortable life style, but the kids, not educated, their family values blown apart, their 'celebrity' status gone, what sort of future do they have.
  12. Having watched the video it does seem to me that both Derek and Ben were deliberately aiming for the cat, there was plenty of room at the top of the slope, they could easily have moved along a bit and not put it at risk.
  13. It made a refreshing change to see a genuine reaction from one of the kids on this type of programme, shame we don't see more, I can't imagine that Jim Bob would allow any of his brood to be shown in this way.
  14. Felt really sorry for Zoey, poor little kid, can you imagine being taken away from the only 'home' and people you know and driven off by strangers, we know she will have a wonderful life with Bill and Jen but she doesn't know that yet. I thought Will was really good meeting Zoey for the first time, he is a happy little chap. Got to admit I've never seen Downton Abbey not my thing at all, but love Call the Midwife.
  15. On the subject of clothes, sorry TLC is all over the place with what series they show here, but I've just watched the episode where Michelle and the older girls went camping with the Bates older girls. All the girls went swimming in the lake, some had a black skirt thing over leggings and ordinary t shirts, but I swear a couple of the girls went swimming in denim skirts!! Meant to rewind and watch again but mistakenly deleted it instead. Denim skirts? Really? Too, too bizarre.
  16. Oh why is the UK so far behind!! Season 6 airs for the first time here this coming Monday so am looking forward to seeing for myself what you all have been talking about on this thread.
  17. Sorry to ramble on but just thought, would love to see how things would pan out if Meri and Janelle say 'to hell with this' and leave, Christine would stay grateful for any crumbs Kody threw her way, but, somehow I can't see the 'all loving' Robyn being as into the lifestyle if Kody then brought in new wives, younger, slimmer etc than Queen Robyn, lol, think she would have a rethink of things then!
  18. My take on all this is as follows, I think going back a few years Meri, Christine and Janelle were 100% into the plig lifestyle but with Robyns arrival all that changed. Meri and Janelle are 'shrewd cookies' imo, Meri has always been out for herself, insisting on a large house even though she doesn't really need one could be seen as very calculating, she knew that if her and Kody ever divorced she would get half of what was theirs (assuming things are the same in the US as in the UK), so better to have half of a more expensive property than a cheaper one. Also read somewhere that she came into inheritance money, so it could be that she knows financially she can 'stand alone' from Kody and the rest of them, so why not milk the TLC gravy train as much and as long as she can..kerching, kerching, kerching, once it all dries up she is now divorced, financially independent....and off she goes. Janelle always seems to be a bit removed from all that goes on, she is more savvy than the rest of them, not wanting to get involved with the Sister Wives Closet too much and keep doing her own thing work wise, again securing her future should things go belly up. Robyn....well....Robyn is the most calculating of the them all, wouldn't trust her at all, for all her meak, humble demeanor she, imo, knows what she wants...Kody...and pulls every trick in the book to get him, I don't care what humble act she plays over marrying him, she will be secretly delighted that she is the only one legally married to him. Christine will be the one out of all of them that will lose out big time when all this blows up and they go their own ways in years to come, which is how I see this happening eventually, she hangs on it there despite knowing that she is least favorite with Kody...again imo, or does she know that? Is she deluded enough to think they are all equal? She doesn't work even though she passed the real estate exam using the kids being too young as a reason but I wonder if it's not because of lack of confidence more. I think she will be totally lost if...or when....this 'family' falls apart. I just wish that we in the UK were as up to date with the series as you are in America, is so frustrating being so far behind!
  19. Lol....I am at work reading this forum and just spluttered my tea everywhere at this. I was shocked to read this latest news about the divorce this morning, I really don't think Meri does anything that doesn't suit or benefit Meri in some way. Have never been a fan of Robyns tbh, I find her a bit sneaky and don't really buy into all this 'love' for her sister wives and families. I have a picture in my head of her doing a little happy dance in her bedroom on her own, punching the air and shouting 'yes I've got him'.....lol, well good luck love, he isn't much of a prize imo.
  20. I have been cutting Bill a little slack so far regarding his parenting, being behind you guys with viewing at the moment I can understand they wanted Will to feel 'at home' and settled, and they are new parents after all. But I remember watching them put Will to bed, think it was his first night home with them, they were fussing around, Jen was all 'it's ok buddy' and Bill was all 'oh look at this, look at that', Will was tired and obviously needed to sleep and I thought 'ok guys, enough now', just let him settle, no need for both of you in his room you are stimulating him too much he needs to be calmed down not hyped up. Just watched the new car episode, makes me laugh how those huge vehicles are called mini vans over there! Anyway was all to do with Jen taking the kids out on her own, like there is anyway that she could manage to do that really, whizzo lift or seats coming out of the car, it really isn't going to happen is it. I think Bill and Jen will be good parents, but certainly in Jens case, because of her size she can't be that much of a hands on mum I wouldn't have thought.
  21. I'm not too keen on Jessa tbh, I think this marriage to this boy is ridiculous, but there you go, it is their 'destiny', Jim Bob has decided and what Jim Bob says goes. I see Jessa speaking to camera with a 'knowing' look in her eye sometimes, or the 'butter wouldn't melt' expression she does and I always think she is just toeing the line for now. But, in all honesty, I think both girls and the younger ones when they are older will conform to the Duggar lifestyle, babies, babies and more babies and not a thought that there is a big world out there full of all sorts of wonderful things. Not saying I want any of them to suddenly become the latest 'Housewives of....' with all that goes with that, but to listen to music...hey, push the boat out and dance, read a novel that isn't religion based, stop wearing denim skirts....although I do realise that last one is a step too far!
  22. Thanks Wellfleet, maybe it is yet another odd Duggar 'thing'! And just remembered something else, the running back up the aisle after the ceremony, not just Jill and Derrick but all of them, thought that was odd as well.
  23. Sorry to 'jump back in time' here, but I've only just watched Jill and Derricks wedding episode. I just wanted to ask if this ...I think Jill called it 'first look', thing is the norm in America, I've never heard of it before. In the UK and I thought in America also, the bride and groom don't see each other on the wedding day until the bride walks down the aisle, so I was really surprised to see that they were actually together all day on their wedding day and only separated to get ready for the wedding. I was so pleased to see that Derricks mum was well enough to attend the wedding, made me tear up a bit tbh. But the endless, endless, endless talk of getting pregnant, of future grandbabies/neices or nephews nearly drove me to distraction, Poor old Jim Bob, who I am not a fan of, was a right old softy on the wedding day wasn't he.
  24. Oh the way they talk about sex on this show makes me laugh.....modest?!...don't think so! And doesn't Jill and Jessa feel embarrassed about it, what young girl wants to discuss sex with their parents..well young girls that have been brainwashed for years is the answer to that I guess. The episode I watched recently, think it was to do with Jills wedding, showed the girls coming out of a shop one after the other, all had those flipping awful, denim skirts on, all had the long wavy hair, they were just clones of each other. I can't believe that out of that number of girls not one of them would like to wear something different, not one of them would like their hair to be shorter, that not one of them has the desire to be an individual, to actually do something other than get married and churn out babies. But listening to the young ones the 'indoctrination' has already taken hold, Mackenzie said something like when she was older she would get to know, know, know a boy and get married.......Jeez it all sounds very scary to me, brainwashed.
  25. Well have finally finished reading all of this thread and it would seem that my concerns of Jen and Will not bonding too well was justified. Also on the last show I viewed they had gone out for a walk and Will 'took off' running and Jen couldn't keep up with him, now obviously there was a film crew there so the child was safe but it did make me question how because of Jens stature could she really look after him on her own, maybe she doesn't.
