Some posts have been removed for not following the Be Civil rule. Report, don't engage. Also, disagree without making it personal.

Just removed a whole slew of posts because apparently there is something going around where people feel it's ok to snark on each other. That is never ok. The swipes at people that don't agree are not only getting tiresome, they're starting to violate the Be Civil rules. Snark the show and its participants, not your fellow posters. Also, report, don't engage. Ignore also works whether the function or the scroll past and roll your eyes silently. The rolling the eyes verbally at your fellow posters is what is not allowed.

The episode topic is spoiler free. Discuss only what was seen in the episode. Adding spoilers from knowledge gleaned from spoilers social media or rumors is not permitted in episode topics. In that spirit, don't hint spoilers either.

Hey, when talking about Jinger and Jeremy, please be aware that people will see things through their own lens which may be different than yours. Commenting on how some people feel vs other people just leads down a road to sniping and hurt feelings.

Let's get back to the focus of this topic, please. Discuss theology and doctrines of religions, especially specific to what the Duggars follow and how it compares to other faiths.

Here's an article I saw with some not always thought of charities that could help with flooding victims. I was especially struck by Portlight, an organization that focuses on helping out people with disabilities, which is also a particularly vulnerable group that needs additional assistance during disasters. And the Diaper Bank one. Organizations that I wouldn't sprung to mind but most definitely would they need assistance.

@Marigold, I'll admit I laughed at your response. It says to me that they must have done so much to get you to that point. I'm sorry that you had to deal with that but hope you land in a good place, too.

A reminder: The Be Civil rule applies to your fellow members. It does not apply to the show, the characters, the cast, etc. Folks are free to say whatever they like - and however they'd like to say it - about anybody that is related to the show as long as it does not violate site rules, i.e. is racist or homophobic etc. You can disagree without demanding they explain or persuade you. This means if a poster find something that a participant does to be terrible--and name it as such--they are allowed to post about it. You may disagree without making it personal. "I don't find that to be a problem, it doesn't bother me." What you aren't allowed to is rebuke, scold or make it personal in disagreement.

The episode topic is spoiler free. Discuss only what was seen in the episode. Adding spoilers from knowledge gleaned from spoilers, social media or rumors is not permitted in episode topics. In that spirit, don't hint spoilers either.

A reminder, there is no requirement for consensus. People can hold differing viewpoints and opinions. And in the various efforts to convince, persuade, cajole, explain or any other variation trying to make someone agree, when it starts getting personal and snippy is when problems start. TL;DR--don't get snippy or make it personal when disagreeing.

If they watch tv they'll be able to see Jesus Christ Superstar on (I believe) Easter this year. Not that they will, but I would pay good money to see their reaction to JC Superstar.

A general reminder about spoilers: The episode topic is spoiler free. Discuss only what was seen in the episode.

A reminder to discuss the show, not the behavior or posting style of other posters. Thank you.

A reminder--The rule is no politics if there are no politics in the show, and if there are politics in the show, it has to pertain to what was in the show. Some questions about current events are asked of the training camp candidates and discussing the girls' responses are fine. (They should know/doesn't matter if they understand, different generations knowledge of current events etc) Talking about demographics of political supporters and cities vs rural etc--that's going too far. Some posts that went down the political path a little too far were removed. Please PM with any questions or need for clarification. Thanks!!

Folks, this is a spoiler free topic. There is a tag and a reminder. And let's keep the spirit of being spoiler free. Avoid hints and suggestions and the wink wink posts. It comes off as very I-know-something-you-don't-know. There are places to discuss the episode in context of spoilers--the Training Camp topic. So no more posts "Given what will happen later, it's hard watching this." It may not be an explicit spoiler, but it's not in the spirit of being spoiler free. Thank you.

Well, they need some sort of reminder that they need donations, right?

A reminder: Don't talk about cuts or training camp antics that aren't in the episode. Thanks!!

Hey, folks, a quick reminder (and adding the tag, too) this is for the episode only, so no spoilers about who made it or didn't etc. Thanks!
