Well, it seems that non students are allowed. My question would still be WHY? Fellow students do not need that distraction. Especially from these two. If Jill wants to know what college would be like for her, I suggest she ask to monitor a community college remedial class.

That’s unbelievable. I’ve heard of people auditing a class- but you have to sign up for that. I’ve heard of note takers for people with injuries or disabilities. I’ve not heard of people just bringing people to college classes. The last time I did that was in grade school when a cousin would be in town for the day.
As a fellow student, I’d be complaining. It changes the entire vibe of the class. Especially if there is discussion - say in an ethics class. These students are paying ( and most likely borrowing to do so) a lot of money. Some may be trying to fit classes around a full time work schedule.
Only the Duggars would think this was appropriate.
ETA - these two here been married for 4 years, with two kids. They can’t learn how to be apart for a few hours? How many weeks into the semester are we?

A continuation of the tweet about switching networks:
To be fair ... raise your hand if you have ever wondered if TLC stands for Trashy Lifestyles Channel? It used to be The Learning Channel when it first existed.

Interesting that Kendra, Joy and Jill have all had honeymoon babies. Isn't there something like a two or three day window in your cycle where you can conceive? Almost makes me wonder if they plan their wedding dates to get pregnant as quickly as possible.
As another poster said, they most likely tried to pick a date where their ‘monthly visitor’ wouldn’t visit. And would stay gone for a couple more weeks. However, that puts you right in the middle of your most fertile time( 14 days after your last period). I don’t really think they plan on getting pregnant that night. Truthfully they are advised to abstain for a while rather than go from first kiss to sex within 12 hours. They appear not to listen.
I also seem to remember reading that Jeremy’s Church ( and therefore Jeremy) are ok with the use of birth control.

Not surprise to hear that Ben had a habit of shutting down. When you marry or live with a domineering person, it is easier to give them the silent treatment rather than tell them how you really feel. For the first couple of years, it was clear to see that Ben was very unhappy.
When you go from never having an unmonitored conversation with someone to living with them 24/7, you have no idea how to express your opinion, or how to disagree about anything. There is a reason why the rest of us encourage dating, and lots of social interaction with others for our offspring.
These children go into marriage with a totally unrealistic idea of how it actually works. That first year is hard enough ( as I remember well) without the stupidity that is courtship.

Austin is growing on me. He loves Gideon. Sounds like he stepped up and tried to be helpful, recognizing that Joy needed to recover.
Thrift store was silly. None of these couples need to go scrounging thru thrift stores hunting for bargains. Quite honestly, the theme was disrespectful toward people who do need to shop there,

Jackson is an adorable child, I love that he is usually dressed in comfortable season appropriate clothing. His parents obviously love and adore him. They don’t try to make us believe that by throwing word salad at us. I hope they take Ember under their wings.

The 1st post of this page has a quote attributed to me. That’s inaccurate. Those are doodlebugs words that I then Quoted and made a response to. I know zero midwives

Huh. I was today-years-old when I learned Jaxon was pronounced "Jack-son" and not "Jacks-on".
It's a subtle difference, but now I hate Jaxon even more; I agree, just spell it Jackson.
I pronounce both the same. Jaxon sounds Star Trekkie though.

Will they start a romance? Just playing devil’s advocate-the look they gave each other after the kiss could be interpreted as, “that was like kissing my brother/sister. There’s no ‘there there’.”
The way they were acting the last few scenes BEFORE the kiss was as if they had lost their best friend. The scenes just weren’t played right to me.
I actually like this show. More for the office sidekicks than the leads.

They were in Springfield IL a few weeks ago and ( I think) gave one of their speeches. that was probably the visit in question. No, I didn’t go hear them. I believe Pickles has a photo of them at the Lincoln Presidential Museum.

Many of the lay midwives I’ve encountered are indeed members of strict fundamentalist churches and they cater to like-minded women. They are often sceptical of modern medicine and convinced that most cesareans are unnecessary amongst other things.
Childbirth was so much safer before modern medicine. /sarcasm
Seriously, though, one wonders if Jill has trouble cognitively between her ‘lay midwife’ theories and the realities of her and her family’s actual childbirth experiences. Several of which definitely needed the intervention of modern medicine.

Cathy may have gotten a police pension. My father was in LE and died of cancer not in the line of duty. My mother got a pension with money added for me until I turned 18.
And Cathy may have lost it when she remarried. Each state/town does their police and firefighter pension/ survivor payments independently. So it is hard to say whether she got a generous survivor stipend or small one, whether he paid into social security and she got that for Dan( Derick was 18). If she wants to pay for law school, that’s her choice.

Well, I haven't found Josiah's house yet, but I did find that "spooky" house that Jill and Jessa toured a while back while claiming that they were looking to upgrade their housing:
https://www.trulia.com/p/ar/springdale/5292-n-graham-rd-springdale-ar-72762--2108047062
Looks like JB paid a pretty penny for it.
I think there is a picture of Josiah’s house somewhere in one of the Counting On forum threads. I don’t know how to search for it. At the time, people speculated that it was going to be a new Duggar church that Jeremy, Derick and Ben would preach at.

Jessa on the other hand, is the complete opposite. I don't think she could pick Justin and Jordan out of a line out, but she really seems to love her boys.
I just can’t get over the fact that Austin claimed to be “exhausted and thought it was time to get the baby out.” His wife could have died, but he was the one who was “discouraged and exhausted.” I can’t stand him! Why oh why did Jim Bob allow Joy to marry this POS? This could have ended badly. I hope it was traumatic enough to make Joy think twice before having another any time soon. But, who am I kidding; she is probably pregnant again.
I could swear that I heard Austin refer to Joy being exhausted and that once they found out it was breech, that was it. He commented that both would have preferred to have it natural, but that wasn’t how it worked out. That’s a natural way to feel. You have to remember- Austin is a YOUNG male, with little experience with women in labor / except when transporting one to the hospital. He’s never seen someone labor for hours in pain before. He’s not JB. I’m cutting him slack on this one.

If I was the midwife and no one called me until the 19th hour of labor, I’d refuse to be a midwife for the woman again.
If I were the pregnant Mom, and my midwife either didn’t show up for 19 hours, or missed a breech, i’d Not use the midwife again.
Doctors are often not there during the labor, but labor and delivery nurses are.
Also - did Joy have any kind of an advance relationship with this ‘closest’ hospital- or was she just expecting an OB to be at the hospital 24/7?

JimBob and Michelle are getting way too much talking and appearance time now.
Yes, it appears we are back to the main Duggar household and friends. It’s obvious they got the contracts re-written.

I think she did it. One thing I would have liked them to address was the angle the bullet took going in. That usually tells them the height of the shooter vs the victim. With the caveat that one could be sitting vs standing, etc. it is suspicious that she was on her way so much sooner than when she said she got there. There’s not much else she was probably doing on the way that time of morning since it’s so far out of town

Why is Hannie still wearing leggings under her skirt? She’s old enough to have received the traditional purity ring and the father-daughter date event. Doesn’t this make her old enough to know how to sit in a dress?

Do Auj and Jeremy realize that it's entirely possible to have meaningful life experiences at a workplace, while employed?
No. Because the only one of those two that has ever been employed (other than the family business) is Auj. She didn’t like it. Jer made a point to avoid the farm as an adult until he was arm twisted into moving back.

How embarrassing (for those featured).
Except for Duggar Data.
I never knew it existed before today, it is fascinating,
I do not think the last half of the current generation of both the Duggars and Bates will have as many children as people might think. Why, you ask?
Money and life experiences. Jim Bob and Michelle head this family. If even one of them dies, the situation changes drastically. Can his offspring run his businesses and make what he does? What if one of this current generation or their spouse dies, especially in childbirth? I’ve seen how death changes the survivors in my own extended family and friends - their life headed in drastically different directions. Often life was quite drama filled for a while. I think Justin and on down may have very few children as a result.

So I’m to believe that 13 and 16 fundie girls were allowed in a program that included clinicals and exposed them to men who needed sponge baths?
I am guessing this Pre-nursing program was only classroom and no actual people’s anatomy was viewed.

Michelle and JimBob aka J'Chelle and Boob
in Counting On
Just looking at the paused video.,. I noticed that Abbie is there midweek, and JD has his arm around her. These two are actually making their own rules.
