The Duggars: In the Media and TLC

As a reminder, the site's Politics Policy remains in effect.  Yes, Jim Bob is apparently running for office again. That does not make it an acceptable topic of conversation in here - unless for some mysterious reason, TLC brings the show back and it is discussed on there. Even then, it would be limited to how it was discussed on the show.

If you have any questions, please PM the mods, @SCARLETT45 and myself.

It was Josh in jeans and a T-shirt. Anna was always made up and dressed nicely. He was comparing how they were dressed.

(Sorry, didn't realize many others said the same thing.)  

If the story is true, it's a shame the man and Anna didn't talk. Maybe both Anna and Josh would realize Anna is a pretty woman and desirable to other men. She doesn't have to settle. They both need to wake up.

If Reddit guy ends up posting anywhere else on the internet with more carefully drip fed 'info' about the Duggars, I'm going to call it as the return of RazingRuth/Wanderwoman.

FAQ’s

Q. Can I Bring My Nursing Baby?

A. Yes! Children that are 18 months and younger are allowed at no additional cost. Please, no other children, we want you and your spouse to completely focus on the Lord and each other!

 

Pffftttt.  You better go there expecting hoards of kids, because what fundy woman doesn't always have a kid under 18 months!!

I'm leaning towards not true.

I was thinking about it...he blames his wife's religious Fund change on homeschooling?  That sounds a little too obvious. I'm a homeschooler and I'm not feeling his statement. of course, I'm in the heathen North East but still...  Funds like the Duggars tend to keep to themselves and not mix with the evangelicals.  So where is his mainstream Christian homeschool wife meeting all these Funds? I've been to plenty of homeschool conferences and conventions.  It's heavily evangelical and not Fund.  Unless his wife is seeking them out? 

Eh, whatever, we will never know who or what this guy is but it was interesting....

Before marriage, Anna's father made Josh promise that Anna would monitor his internet use.  Not that promises are worth anything to these dingbats, but that would put Anna in control of his internet cell phone use, or lack thereof.  However I'm sure her word isn't worth squat, so yes, Boob is in control.

I know Anna's dad made TFDW aware that he would be accountable to Prissy for his internet use.  Wasn't sure of any such thing with Josh and Anna, but I'm probably not remembering.

Mr E and I have been together for twelve years. I have never felt the need to go through his computer or smart phone, nor has he mine. As two worldly grown ass consenting adults, we're free to look at whatever we want, but we don't feel the need. We're much more into using the Internet for research.  Are only Duggars paranoid that anyone with an Internet connection and no accountability partner is going to be looking at porn 24/7? What is porn to them? A nude statue or painting?

I think you should direct that question to Mr. Joshua Duggar and he will be able to give you a full report on that topic.  

He will even write a research  paper like Jill did, if you would prefer. I bet Josh knows how to annotate.  ;)

An easy promise for David to make, since I doubt that Priscilla is computer-savvy enough to monitor his internet browsing in any meaningful way.

Just throwing this one out here for conversation: The "bloggers" of all things Duggars have posted some kind of appeal to get KJB and J-Chelle back on Counting On, according to Pickles. After all, "everyone" wants to see them. Since those women probably ask permission to visit the ladies' room, it's most likely being engineered by the Duggars. 

Didn't Nance assure everyone that KJB, J-Chelle and Joshley Madison were no longer appearing on any show involving the Duggars? Does she realize that there are still people who will be more than happy to pelt her and the few advertisers left with phone calls, letters, e-mails... 

I know I'm shocked. How about you?

I believe that Nancy only guaranteed that Smuggly would not appear on the present season. Before that, she said that the focus would be on the kidults with Boobchelle having a very marginal role. No promises were made about Boobchelle's involvement this season, but one had to know they'd show up because fundie courtships can't happen without parents hanging all over them. 

I fully expect them to integrate Smuggly into Jinger's wedding, whenever they air it. After that? I'll sit back and watch the backlash on both TLC and Duggar social medla, specifically Duggar Fam since Mechelle sees some of it, although I think it's Jana who does all the banning. No use posting criticism to Jessa; she bans anyone who doesn't toe her party line. Jill? She doesn't read responses, so no use, really. 

The one person invested in the show who might get a jolt out of Smuggly backlash would be Ben, but outrage would have to be carefully couched in language he understands.

Are the humpers even interested in Boobchelle? To me it looks like most of their fanbase is young girls who fangirl over the female kidults, mixed in with a few conservative Christian adults who have enjoyed watching the girls grow up.  If TLC felt they must continue with this farce, they were on the right track focusing on the older girls. I predict any shift from that focus will cause backlash, lower ratings or both. And lately even a new courtship doesn't seem to be stirring up the level of interest that previous ones did so hopefully this whole thing is on the verge of implosion anyway. Of course Boob probably thinks his absence is the only thing keeping the ratings down.

Whatever "x factor" the show now lacks, Josh wasn't bringing it. He will be at Jinger's wedding, but it's easy enough to shoot around him, and that's what they'll do. He's not worth the risk. I would be shocked if even his bald spot makes it onto our screens. They rarely let JimChelle look at the camera anymore.

KJB will be giving his "Oscar Reel" performance of crocodile tears and allegedly solicitous, over the top wistfulness about losing another one of his "girls" when he walks Jinger up the aisle. I can't even with him. Seriously. Does he or his pharmaceutically-enhanced child bride (SNAPS to the poster who named her "Xanaxia") have any idea of the sheer repugnance any viewer has for both of them?

I just have to second this. I don't know who it was, but that's been my preferred name for Michelle ever since.

Boob would tell you it's the vocal few who are messing with his 'new world order' vision and keeping him & Xanaxia from their God-given teevee empire. Everyone else, they just loooove the Duggars!

Axanaxia!  Did you catch Michelle in the airport waiting for their flight to Dallas?  She had the Mostest crazed expression and was staring straight ahead.  She was most likely watching TV.  And I'm sure the TLC camaras told her to not look at the camera.

Geeze.  I finally suffered through last week's "episode".  What the HELL was THAT?!?!?  It screamed "here we are, fundy ladies!!!"  It was like a REALLY bad dating video for a Christian dating site mixed with the vignettes done in the earlier days for the kids.  It was AWFUL!  I wound up fast forwarding through 90% of it and stopping only to watch the few bits there were of JinJer.  Good LORD that was BAD!  If I were one of the boys, I would've felt humiliated and used.  

That was a half hour of my life I will never get back.

:Clears throat: They're at some "religious freedom" conference in Branson, MO this weekend, according to Pickles. There's also photographic evidence.

One wonders if they will be taking the stage to lament about the terrible "vocal few" that have cost them a TV show, the vast majority of advertisers, and their cushy $40K per week job. They're persecuted for the LORD!

Do they have a time frame for when all these horrible things caused by gay marriage are going to happen? Because it hasn't happened so far. All that's happened is people who love each other getting married.

It's the same time frame when all the horrible things caused by legalizing marijuana in some states will happen.  Just look for that same date on your calendar.

Hell, when Pulse was attacked by Islamic fundamentalist extremists (see what I did there?), I bet the Duggars and their ilk silently cheered, although the politicians like Daniel Webster (not even his district, although his is adjacent; Orlando is actually split in half) publicly said they were praying for the victims. I remember radio silence from the Duggars when that happened. That should surprise nobody here.

I checked the episode descriptions on my dvr. The episode description for next week (10/25) mentions the family getting together to review season two and a surprise guest makes an appearance. I'm wondering if the guest will be Josh or if we'll get another courting announcement.

Grandpa? Emerged from the grave and now driving that office chair, with a few of his new undead buddies riding on the bumpers, with rocket launchers, and heading straight for JB.

Hey, it is almost Halloween.

 

Or maybe a Very Special Talking Head from Mr. Bynum? I think I vote for that one.

I didn't even think of Famy. Most of the season finales have ended with an announcement that I was thinking there would be some sort of announcement regarding someone courting. Although a big sit down interview with Josh also wouldn't surprise me. 

They promised no Smuggar THIS SEASON. They also promised "limited" Boob and Mechelle, who are obviously being wormed back into the shitshow full-time. I predict the same future for Smuggar in the upcoming Jinger's Wedding season. If TLC continues to keep him offline, they can't feature the money shot of the entire family. Anna would look really stupid standing in a family shot with her kids, but not an immediate member of the family.

There's something really pathetic about being so desperate to keep a show on the air that they promise viewers they won't show certain members of the family.

I wonder how much say Jessa, who seems to be the star of this thing now, even when the show had Jill's name on it, had in keeping him off the airwaves. Because you KNOW that Boob, who willfully supports the cretin, would love nothing more than a lovely Christian Redemption Arc playing out as a plotline to prove just how much Smuggly has changed.
