On January 3, a TV show was aired in Britain called 20 Kids and Counting.  It was about a British couple who have 20 kids, and the wife gave birth to every one of them.  (Eat your heart out, Michelle.)

Differences from Duggars:

They are not fundies.

The kids go to public school.

Mom does all the housework and laundry.

They live in a 10-bedroom house.

The father owns a bakery and earns $67,000 a year.

The mother works at the bakery from 9am to 2pm.

After baby #20, the couple announced they will have no more kids.

The wife is 42 and the husband is 47.

There was one miscarriage along the way.

With each birth starting with #16, the family has appeared in a TV documentary once a year.  The first one was called 16 Kids and Counting.

I thought it was interesting that both parents were adopted. Maybe subconsciously they are creating the biological families they never knew? I think they are nice looking people.

The Radford family, from Morecambe, Lancs, is made up of kids Chris, 28, Sophie, 24, Chloe, 22, Jack, 20, Daniel, 18, Luke, 17, Millie, 16, Katie, 15, James, 14, Ellie, 12, Aimee, 11, Josh, 10, Max, nine, Tillie, seven, Oscar, six, Casper, five, Hallie, two,  Phoebe, 18 months, and Archie - who was born last Autumn. (20?)

I was looking at info on their Australia trip. They are appearing the day before the conference is scheduled to begin.

Found this as part of the seminars:

Anger Seminar

Anger is the number-one cause of damaged marriages, abused children, and violence in the home, school, and workplace. It is the common denominator among juvenile delinquents and the reason that so many youth are running away from home.

This seminar traces conflicts to their root causes and gives steps of action which, if followed, will resolve anger.

Why This Course Is Successful

This training has helped tens of thousands of youth and adults experience lasting freedom from anger, because it is based on the universal and timeless principles of Scripture and shows how God’s truth and power can achieve what our resolve cannot.

arrrgh. BG back to doing what he started with, back in the 60s and 70s.  So now they're going to trot the old corpse out in other countries, in hopes that the audiences will be naive to his criminal nature and the abusive shit he recommends? Sick.

"juvenile delinquents?" LMAO.

Is anger the reason why Josh molested four of his sisters and a lying cheating creep who cheated on his own wife. I thought it was the evil devil who took over his mind and soul turning into a bad, bad person.

Take a hard long look at Derick. Anger is probably a major reason why he has turned out the way he has turned out. Obviously the bible and God have not help him much.

I imagine the reason many adolescents run away from home is to get away from physical and sexual abuse. A great reason to get away and be angry, IMO.

However, their remedy is to quote scripture, beat the crap out of that kid, shame them, tell them they’ve got nowhere else to go, and isolate them further from any friends they might have, and cover it up. After all, being angry is unchristian.

I just went and looked at the site, and 16 Duggars are being flown to Australia for a 4 hour talk in which they will "share their insights into family life and home schooling" followed by a "tea." This hardly seems like a good use of funds to me.

To me either. Although I have a vague memory or hallucination that somebody looked farther in the program a while ago and found they were going to do a little more and that this was just their initial appearance? Dunno ....

I think the whole thing is probably a sign of the Gothardites' growing desperation. They've obviously been increasingly short on money and I wonder whether they've just made some kind of decision to take a wad of the remaining funds and throw it hard at a market that they think may not have passed peak-Gothard and see if they can get something going there. ... I mean, they've got a Gothard-himself presentation and the Duggs themselves have long been the group's real big guns, with their fame. If they weren't so anti-Catholic, you could call it a Hail Mary pass? 

.... I wish Meeechelle was going to Sydney rather than Melbourne, though. It was 117 degrees in Sydney yesterday. I'd love to see her navigate that in her 2000 layers of modesty. ... Although Melbourne can get pretty hot, too, though. So I guess there's still hope.

Well, the Duggars can't say or insinuate that they are not associated with Gothard....here they all are at a speaking engagement with HIM on the program. Liars that they are.

I didn't think about that until after I posted, but Gothard was supposedly tossed out of IBLP, wasn't he? Are they just sneaking him back in now that the press has slacked off? Is IBLP Australia a different legal entity, so that they can claim that they are no longer associated with Gothard?

JB's constant bleating that he isn't associated with Gothard is just such a bald faced lie that I don't understand why he continues to spout it. He must have some sort of internal definition that if he's not on Gothard's payroll, or doesn't follow some specific detail of the teachings that he's not a true Gothardite.

I can't claim to remember but I have a vague hallucination that the board made several gestures over several years that were halfway kinda sorta throwing him out but weren't really. And then there was the final throwout. But then according to lots of people, a sizable chunk of the group's muckety-mucks went on supporting him thought mostly kind of on the Q T. Speaking up for him under pseudonyms on online forums and the like. I don't know what's happened with the lawsuit, but attention to it has certainly died down, so I think they're probably doing exactly what you say. My bet would be that Jim Bob's just an unabashed bald-faced liar in general, actually. Look at the number of lies, external and internal, that surround the whole Josh thing. IN any situation, JB will say whatever he sees as being in his best interest at the moment, regardless, would be my guess.

How many Duggars does it take to screw...nevermind.  

16 of them?  At once?  My prayers are with the entire country of Austrailia.  God bless em.

As well as the talk and tea session, the Duggars are also attending an IBLP conference, so not a complete junket haha. The two locations are about 20 minutes apart. 

 

I can email them a question on marriage and family, I can think of lots of question that will get me kicked out of the chat session , haha

It was on social media, but I don't remember if it was a response to a post on the blog or Instagram. But she definitely made that claim after Gothardgate.

On their blog. Weirdly, they have a photo of the actual cake, complete with "Happy Birthday Mr. Gothard" topper, captioned "Groom's Cake."

I was hoping to find the picture(s) of Michelle helping with the wedding prep. Either Kelly was oblivious or it was a straight up dig at Michelle. Erin's wedding was featured on 19 & Counting and the older girls were filmed helping Erin getting dressed and Michelle was filmed helping in the kitchen. On the show it felt fake and forced. Anyway Kelly posted a picture of Michelle helping in the kitchen and the next picture posted was almost the exact same picture but the spot where Michelle was 'helping' was empty. It felt to me that Kelly was showing that Michelle's help was only for filming and Michelle split the minute the cameras did.

I remember how the J'Slaves kept trying to insert themselves into the wedding prep and the Bates girls gave off a vibe like they really didn't want them there. Of course, they had to fake it for the cameras because paychecks and all, but yeah, I don't think the two families are as buddy-buddy as they make it appear.
