    Gimme That Old Time Religion

    in Counting On

    Yeah, I kind of envy people with actual real deep faith. I'm just not like that. Also, in recent years the idea of constant sacrifice and suffering doesn't appeal to me much anymore. I do fully understand that life is not meant to be sunshine, rainbow and unicorn dust all of the time, but surely we are allowed SOME happiness? Catholicism is big into sacrifices and I find the older I get (and the more I deep-dive into myself) that I'm just not that much into it anymore. I'd like some peace, sometime. I've never felt anything much when praying. Yet the "once a Catholic, always a Catholic" is deeply engrained into me and I'm ok wit that.

    If God exists up there, I just hope He'll be merciful and not the deeply unpleasant Being He's made out to be by some people.

    The Duggalos: Jinger and the Holy Goalie

    in Counting On

    Jeremy wants to be something above his station so to speak. He didn't make the cut as a football player, nor will be make it being a Preacher of any sort. You have to work very hard to be successful, and he's lazy and entitled.  A burning desire to be famous and somebody does not bode well for his future either.

    He needs to address his pretentious dickheadery and dive into why he's so needy.  Jinger, well, she's Jinger. Human tofu, with not one original thought in her empty head it seems.

    As a kind of Catholic, this whole "personal relationship with Jesus" thing weirds me out. He is not my best friend, the guy I hang out with to have a cuppa. It's just so weird. Where does this even come from?

    We don't do any of that stuff, thankfully. A lot of people are cultural Catholic, they will have christenings and go to Church on Easter/Christmas, etc, so they aren't deeply into it.

    I also don't get the rigidity of it - the Bible was never meant to be taken literally. It contradicts itself so many times, it plain makes no sense a lot of the time, you need to know context (as in ANY book you read). Does Jilly "feed your kids" R routinely sacrifice her firstborn, doesn't eat pork/shellfish, not wear mixed fibre? Does she? Like fuck she does.

    I'm pretty sure that some of the Duggars have at least had niggling doubts, but they are so isolated and frankly dumb that it never goes any further. They are so enmeshed that any doubt would be hard to bear.

    I don't have a testimony at all, it's never been required of me, in fact. I can't relate to the idea of a Father anyhow, which is probably why I struggle with that concept. Tried for years to "find God" but have yet to do so. I've now moved quite far from Catholicism really I notice, yet do still kind of believe in a God. I'd like to actually, I think faith is a great thing if lived properly. It just doesn't seem to happen for me so why force it, eh? Plus, I find that I'm just DONE with the idea of "suffer on earth forever because heaven is great", I'm just not into that anymore. I don't want to suffer every fucking day, I've already had my fill of that. I rather fancy the idea of a loving Father who is kind, gentle and yes, able to lead when needed. Not into the hell and damnation crew much.

    The Lonely Js Club: Jana, Jason, James, Jackson & Johannah

    in Counting On

    True😱😱 HOW did those "parents" manage to raise 19 children without a single personality trait? Every last one of them is deadly dull and bland and boring. How is that even possible?

    All the Duggar males do not even qualify for nomination, for they all are to a point so damn boring and entitled that they are indistinguishable from one another.

    The girls have at least recognisable features but none are endearing.

    Jana is human tofu, as is Jinger with her pretentious notions these days. Jessa is smug and lazy, Joy, well at least there IS some spunk there it seems. Jill remains to be seen but she has been a bumbling tone-deaf fool so far and the poor pitiable lost girls are too depressed to be anything.

    Kindergarten, I think, which is the beginning of public grade school. First grade is the second year, confusingly, but kindergarten is the first year. It’s usually in the same building as the elementary grades (mine was K through 5, but it varies) and it’s very much part of the school system. Although it may be a half-day program. Pre-school is typically age 3 or 4, and it’s usually a private, tuition-paying program. It’s not part of required education, so public schools don’t have to offer it (except in some cases of kids with special needs), so they don’t. 
     

    TL;DR Israel is starting the first year of elementary school, which is called kindergarten. Usually the kids have to be at least 5 years old.

    Ah ta. That's why it's sometimes rather confusing me, when people talk about Kindergarten but expect the child to learn how to read, etc. Kindergarten here IS just that, a place for pre-school children to play, not that much is being taught there. Pre-school would be 5 year olds and typically, proper school starts at 6 or 7 with primary school. Fascinating how different school systems are.

    Oh my, i kind of watched a dullard video😱

    first time ever and i did think it came across well-they seemed relaxed and not dismissive of their children for once. Going to school will be so good for all of them.

    israel is going to pre-school, right?

    Nurie looks less tense and clenched already. I hope they'll get to a point where life gets better for her.

    That poor child, Sofia? looks like a concentration camp child, it's horrifying. Playing with toilet paper, well......and guess what, Jilly Bean, children can be creative and still have access to the Internet. I'm pretty sure it's doable. Plus, seeing as you are never off your phone I think it's just a tad hypocritical of you to bemoan today's internet usage, no?

    And that pantry, what on earth does she need one for? It's not like she ever cooks or feeds her kids, is it? I've never seen one single photo where she cooks a healthy meal that's eaten by her brood.

    FEED YOUR KIDS you bitch! Put your obese slob husband on a diet, slug back less Plexus so you aren't up at 4am because you can't sleep and FEED YOUR KIDS!

    Ye should be partaking of the pink miracle drink, that which keepeth ye well oiled and energetic so you too may be up at 4 am posting selfies on instagram, rather than stocking up on ice cream sandwiches, ye brazen hussies!

    on topic, i still think it beggars belief that they think a 13 year old girl deserves nothing better than a cheap tub of ice cream and crappy toppings. And as for holding babies and toddlers, to be sure she loves it for they at least will give her some unconditional love that shes not getting from her fucking useless parents
