  1. We've seen the fruits of his scanty labor, so I'd say "no" to your first question. I'm also leaning towards the "narrowly escaped CPS in WV" speculation being actuality. The part where Jill (re?)posted an old anecdote about a CPS visit in which Timmy was still at home as though it were fresh, and waxed indignant at the very idea that anyone would infer she and Shrek neglect their kids, told the tale IMO; and we only have Jill's word for it in the first place that the CPS person was favorably impressed. I mean, c'mon, if/since we've seen David R juxtaposed against the kids and have been horrified for months, there's no way the CPS worker didn't ask if he's the primary person in this family getting fed.
  2. Yeah, I've very much been a party of one on this topic, but I don't think Joy will be/is blanket training Gideon. Even when he was a newborn, she was driving everyone on the thread crazy petting his wee baby feet, like she couldn't quite believe he was real.
  3. He looks huge, and also seems to be developing a dowager’s/camel hump made of fat.
  4. I assume that people in countries where it’s not pronounced Hay-soos, think it would be a sacrilegious choice of theirs to make. If you can’t tell the difference when people talk about them...
  5. The child was a little doll (the picture the newspapers are going with is clearly one of the worst available; maybe they think it's more controversial if readers think she's wearing Baby Amish garb 24/7); and thus I certainly understand their impulses. However, I wonder if it's possible that when she doesn't get brought back to life 🙄, that it will be a big and much-needed jolt of disillusionment to the church that eventually leads to its cultish demise. https://www.newsweek.com/church-raising-100000-raise-child-dead-1478511
  6. As per my mother, hairdressers still call shoulder-length hair "long" (source: her regular hairdresser makes her book two time slots on account of it). Jill's hair looks great and I hope she keeps it there.
  7. Yeah, I'm with you, I've bruised easily all my life. Partly because I am cousin to a ghost crayfish; partly just because. I think I was about 45 before my mother gave up asking me "How did you get that bruise?!?!" Me: "Um, I have zero idea?" "How can you not remember that?!?" Me: *shrug*. I go to the allergist, and the flu shot I got 2 days ago has given me a livid bruise. "Did I do that?" asks the nurse practitioner in awe. Sometimes when I see a new specialist I've been known to bring a copy of my latest blood tests to prove that I don't have anemia (they've tested).
  8. From the 1995 Dallas Observer: https://www.dallasobserver.com/news/virgin-academy-6404353 Unless BG was trolling this reporter, I don't have difficulty extrapolating that a choir of far less than 1,000 people were collated at some point and shown around.
  9. Didn’t she also say that Joy was the one who married best when she married into the Forsyths? I remembered thinking... ‘Joy as the Elizabeth Bennet of her sister cohort... that is pretty unexpected.’ Maybe that’s because the Forsyths are making more bank at their camp than we heretofore suspected?
  10. Joy seems like she might be the most naturally successful "earth/soccer mother" of the married girls so far. I think she would really dig carpooling everyone, and chaperoning museum trips and away games, etc., etc. Maybe some day she and Austin will send their children out to school.
  11. Lauren2 is blessed indeed in the restrictive pool of suitors IMO, as James is usually to be found in the background of a Duggar picture making googly-eyes at some baby niece or nephew. For what they want out of life (Breeding machines 4-eva!), he'd be my pick of the litter, as I think he'd really be enthusiastic about being a father. (Now, don't go and disappoint me, James!)
  12. Yikes, Lauren certainly had an awkward phase, didn’t she?
  13. I was going to say, surely it depends upon where you are, yes? I imagine, for example, that San Francisco has lots of midwives and secular pregnant women who seek out midwives. Or Seattle, I’m sure I could go on.
  14. Olivia and Mrs. Meggs are like the forum dream fundies. They met the Plaths at some sort of event sponsored by the Pearls. The Plaths continued to drink the Kool-Aid. Olivia and her mother, however, went home so disturbed by the things about Gothardism that had been done and said during this retreat, that they decided as a family to get the hell out. She should be the thread mascot, lol.
  15. Well, they also came up with ‘He husband of Jill Rodrigues’, so it’s possible that contributor went to an SODRT.
  16. I thought that Sam's was an expression of alarm, actually. 😅
  17. It's funny the Plath kids would, though, IMO, as I was raised in an authoritarian fundamentalist family myself, and my mother would (and in fact did) lose her shit on the infrequent occasions I would say to my sister "because your mother/father doesn't want you doing XYZ". "I am YOUR mother!" (foams at mouth).
  18. Wouldn't you, the first chance you got? Although, she's probably mighty confused because hasn't Mechelle come out several times in public and claimed that "skirts only" is right for her and her decision; but she can't speak for anyone else and their purported convictions?
  19. Wikipedia seems to think that a Christmas cantata is just like any other cantata, except Christmas themed, so hopefully the church itself knows what they did and whether or not it has multiple movements. 🤔
  20. But they're pretty much still those people, with the exception of Jessa who must be too tired to play princess around the clock, so "create" might not exactly be the most useful word...
  21. He was also responsible for half of the terribly sexist "The Man Show"; so he doesn't fool me.
