Heathen

How would you know they're fundies if they didn't punish the piano? Erin Bates Paine led the way and now the others imitate her.

Maybe she meant "to receive charity," as in all the grifts she gets.

Dubious accreditation aside, I wouldn't consider that a proper school. Their home page mentions "god-fearing" and graduating debt free. The school is based in Arizona -- how effective could a ministry degree be if done entirely online? I think it's a diploma mill.

I'll never get used to people with zero academic qualifications calling themselves "pastor." I was baptized and raised Lutheran*, and all our pastors had undergraduate and graduate degrees in theology. I have a dear friend who is an ordained Lutheran minister, and she also has a bachelor's and master's in theology. Love Junior's side-eye. Even he knows his cult is full of it. *Clearly, my baptism did not take. They should have dunked me instead of sprinkling me, then I might have stood a chance against the fortress Satin built in my heart.

I preemptively nominate "Jason and {Random Fundie Girl}: If the Treehouse is Rocking, Don't Come Knocking."

"You're way to old."

I kind of think MY biceps are more impressive than Timmy's.

The question is, whose idea was it? Have these two dipshits seen Gladiator?

I think some of their look (at least the thinness and the dark circles) is genetic. One of Jilly's sisters has the same look. The outdated, oversized, ragamuffin clothing is not genetic. That's their wretched mother trying to make them look bad so she looks better.

Somewhere in Arkansas, Jim Bob reads this and gnashes his teeth at the missed opportunity. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/couple-12-children-uses-same-134254762.html

I think a lot of normal, non-fundie people would decline to donate in case the funds "accidentally" made their way to Smuggar and his defense.

Not anytime soon. Too many overweening egos in the parental units.

Or the SOTDRT taught him that vasectomy is the equivalent of castration. Yes, he was clearly done by the third pregnancy. I feel sorry for Marcus and the subsequent Ms. Speaking from experience, it sucks to know your parent doesn't want you.

Thanks -- I go through periods where I don't read about fundies at all. If it's not in the news like the fat felon, I don't hear about it. How colossally stupid do people have to be to NOT put an infant in a damn car seat?! JFC.

What car accident?

I feel like it's inevitable that some fundie's water breaks or she actually delivers at a wedding. It would make their boring-ass nuptials a tiny bit more interesting, anyway.

Dog help us all, but especially Nathan. He better get to work on his grifting skills, or plan on spending all his free time mowing lawns, if he expects to support Nurie, a new kid every year, and Nurie's siblings and worthless parents. I envision the Kellers' future in Duggars-before-TV-level poverty, and it depresses the shit out of me. Pass the Plexus.

It bodes well that Justin moved to Texas instead of Claire moving to Arkansas. That alone indicates a tiny bit of independent thinking. He's the only Doom to leave the confines of NWA (until FF goes to prison, that is). I hope her fertility patterns run more like her mother's than any Duggar's. Make it a fairly normal-sized, well-spaced family rather than a Duggar baby chute.

Kathleen Wilhoite (Chloe) was in Road House, that crappy Swayze movie from 1989. She had a hard time keeping her eyes off Swayze's bare behind. Don't judge me -- I'm trying to stay up all night (I work nights, but I'm off tonight) and decided to see what the movie was like. It's a stinker.

It's generous to think people like the Duggars and Bateseseseses ever had critical thinking skills to start with.

It's odd that Jed* is so much taller than the others. Is he standing on a rise? Wearing Tom Cruise-style lifts? Something isn't right there. *he needs a nickname to reflect his new...avoirdupois.

I always read it as Fat Felon.

There were plenty of tragedies that happened in the 1950s and '60s. You just didn't hear about them, because no 24/7 news media, or you don't remember.

I feel like it was inevitable that there be a Hannah Duggar. Jana, Joy-Anna, Johannah, now Hannah. There should be just a plain Joanna in there, but there isn't (yet).

Creepy, sleazy, and greasy.
