I think the white round thing is Izzy's head, and Derrick's holding his hand/arm. Such a terrible picture, though. How dare you! It's a ministry! Now, all eyes back to them...

On J&A's facebook page there's a comment by someone who saw Josh at Silver Dollar City today, along with Michelle (and presumably Anna). She had her pic taken with Michelle. I'm really grossed out at the idea of Josh at a theme park, around little kids.

The Roloffs were under contract for 2 years after their show ended, Khate was under contract for one year after cancellation, and Mama June's contract with TLC just ended in May. It's reasonable to assume The Duggars have similar clauses in their contacts

I guess now that she's married, Jessa can wear a shirt that calls attention to her boobs? That's all I thought about when I read the shirt.

I won't drag this thread OT....but they're PRACTITIONERS (yes, even CNMs are really just NPs). Sigh.

Really? *Braces for Duggar tight-end jokes*

He was very sly about it, you see...

45,000 who would like anything Josh posts, including him eating a baby. The remaining 15,000 would say we need to forgive him and move on. Who hasn't made mistakes? All the unmoderated places that video had been posted have comments overwhelningly hating Josh. In America's mind Duggar = creepy molester cult family. The leghumper sad sacks aren't enough to keep the tv show going.

She probably loves "I know nothing!". Hits close to home.

It's on the duggar family official youtube page, not Duggar Films. If it even matters... Edit: I've seen the link on pickles and hairspray, reddit, etc. It's everywhere. I doubt this was really a private message, most of the kids did one, and they're all very staged.

I thought they were one in the same. My bad.

You can't airbrush over your family's problems as easily as an instagram photo.

FWIW, I've read accounts elsewhere of ALIVE - The Duggars are doing another mission trip to Honduras in July. They took no questions from the audience, only prepared softballs by the interviewer. The Autograph session was canceled due to rain.

http://www.inquisitr.com/2190023/reasons-to-love-jim-bob-duggar-michelle-duggars-list-might-make-you-queasy/ This article is properly titled, I feel queasy. Heavenly father said sit on your ass for a year, then lawyer up? Dang, God plays it fast and loose with the rules these days. Doesn't God routinely let sinners off scott free (on Earth, anyway)? It's a pet peeve, Michelle, but only physicians can make medical decisions, not doulas, not crappily-skilled midwives, not nurses*, only doctors. Your children will never make medical decisions due to their subpar educations, enforced lack of contact with reality, and intellectual hobbling. *I get asked all the time about medical decisions I make every day....I usually tell people I've never made a single medical decision in my career as nurse, since it's the truth.

It's easy to get on moral high horse about questioning victims. Next thing you know you ARE the Duggars. FFS, attention seekers getting asked questions, no matter how uncomfortable, is no moral quandary. Anywho, I'm still wincing at Jessa and Ben still pursing adoption. Parenting classes? How about some income, and jobs, now that the gravy train is approaching derailment. Whatever agency gives these two a baby is nuts.

In Benessa's prior appearances, about 90% of questions came from young children. No tough questions there.

It's no big deal, they forgave him years ago, etc.

Maybe it's medical to help cover something childbirth related Jill wants to do. And I agree, they're scammers. Fake charities, if that's what this turns out to be, are the worst. They'll have nice things/homes/etc for personal use that all belong to the ministry on paper. Shell corp/tax dodge/false piety/etc all rolled up. Gothard does the same thing with his operations. Now we know why Derick really quit.

I know. There's really no difference in MO between the Duggars and their exploiters.

Well, not for the interview, but damn sure for their 'image license'. Of course not. That's for pregnancies and dating.

The Five Second Rule: Why None Of This Is A Big Deal, By Josh Duggar.

That's true, but doing a national interview about your abuse puts it out there. I doubt Jill and Jessa thought about the long-term ramifications of coming forward, if they even had much say in it. They made money off being victims. Sorry if that means they also get asked by random strangers about it.

Pffftt. Then what's the point of being famous? Oops, I mean, having a ministry.
