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.

I was thinking about this and the idea that the girls weren't "harmed" and weren't "damaged goods" which led me to realize that ALL of the Duggar children are "damaged goods" and I think that's becomi

I don't know where to post this but I fucking met Michelle Duggar. Let me set the scene. So my cousin is getting married and we were at a shop looking at dresses here in Kentucky when the Duggars marc

I don't know. I go to the zoo a lot. It's fun to do my walking around the elephant habitat and so on. And they really have such cute little saggy wrinkly behinds. There's something so endearing and sad but also old and wise, even about their backsides. And their poop is kind of grassy and almost clean. 

I don't really know if there's any place on an elephant that I'd link to Boob, really. To me, he's sort of like a smiley Voldemort.

I'm sure you're right, and that's part of why I said I should have sympathy for them. I really don't, actually. I get why Boob the insecure arrogant one would think this was a great thing. I have a harder time imaging what sort of damage had to exist in J'chelle's psyche for her to willingly sign on for something like this. I suppose he's the abuser and she's the abused in some sense, though they've both abused their kids. She must have been very fearful for her to think this was the right path. We know Boob obviously is fearful and weak-willed, hence the appeal for him.

I think some people fall into things like this cause they have an absolute paralyzing fear of making decisions.  This sort of cult or religion seems bent on making all the decisions for you.  I think this may actually apply to Michelle, not so much Jim Bob.  I think she wants it that way so whatever goes wrong she can say, "Hey it wasn't me.  Blame your father."

This is somewhat tangential, but the TLC interviewer, Danni Starr is a radio cohost here in the DC area. She used to be on The Kane Show on 99.5 but now she's on 93.9 The Fam in the Morning. She also was featured on episode of Bridezilla, and wrote an article about  her subsequent divorce for TLC. 

 

I did a double take when I heard her name because she sounds totally different on the radio than what she does during her interviews.

Yeah Boob wanted his breakfast cooked before going to the hospital  while Michelle was in labor. Probably safe to assume Michelle has been mistreated not just by the religion, but by Boob.

 

KJB should get on his knees and thank the Lordt above he wasn't married to me. He'd need medical attention to extract the frying pan from his rectal area by the time I was finished with him.

I'm torn between feeling badly for J-Chelle and realizing that she signed up for this and continues to support it.

Michelle is a complicated dysfunctional mess. Just when i think I have her kinda figured out, she throws a curve ball and I doubt my analysis.

The worst part is that Boob seems to be operating under the grave misconception that his 1950s, king-of-the-castle-because-Jesus schtick is utterly adorable. Everyone in that cult seems to think of themselves as SOOOO charming and innocently wonderful and lovable, even as they sadistically brainwash vulnerable women into abusing themselves and their own children. For example, a father being obsessed with his 20+ year-old daughter's sex life is not wholesome, Christian, modest, Lord-serving, or any of the other willowy adjectives they use to describe it. It's sick, twisted, perverted and disgusting, so thoroughly disturbing in such a basic way that it never stops blowing my mind. I try to imagine my own father inserting himself into my sexual activity IN ANY WAY as a young adult, and then I quickly have to stop imagining it before the projectile vomit comes spewing forth. I'm pretty sure the contents of my father's stomach would react similarly if we'd ever discussed the matter, which of course we haven't, because we have this thing we've always liked called HEALTHY FATHER-DAUGHTER BOUNDARIES. 

I can also guarantee you that if my older brother was diddling me at 14 years old, "It's not that big a deal, it happens in a lot of families" would have never entered my parents' brains, let alone passed through their lips. 

The fact that the Duggars have diehard fans is downright terrifying.

Can you imagine having a Duggar kid preach at you every Sunday.

eta:  I know there was discussion of this in the Jana thread, but I thought I would post it here, just in case.

And for veterans yet. As if they haven't suffered enough. .... Given how much of this,incessant preaching by idiots the Duggs themselves have obviously endured over the course of their lives it always amazes me that they can talk about in an apparently positive way ..... Unless they're just really sadistically enjoying the fact that now other people are subjected to it, and not just them.

Seriously...I am totally speechless again! Have the poor veterans not suffer enough. I call it hypocritical for the Duggars to show their faces in a veteran home since none of the special Duggar snowflakes are good enough to serve their country or to go into other countries fighting for the rights of women to be educated, have careers, and not serve men to the point of being second class citizens (yes, I am looking at you Duggars.) Of course, these poor heathens should have learn by now turning to God will save them from the evil taking over their countries.

And Jeremy knows God. Really...I want prove Jeremy knows God. Plus the bull crap of raising littles, housecleaning is doing ministry work.

Somebody has posted information about the person who supposedly leaked the Josh investigation two years ago.  She says she did it because she was fed up with the family's antigay activities.

Does anyone have any idea if this is true?

Given how lazy the Duggars are and how dishonest they are about their "charity", I really doubt that they've gone to the Veteran's Home more than once or twice. In their minds, that would then become exaggerated into "every Sunday" and give them something to brag about when asked what their "ministry" actually entails. If they really were doing this every Sunday, we'd already know because they'd never be able to keep from showing off about it on Facebook and Instagram and TLC would have filmed it for an episode.

The person who contacted In Touch came out and said that she was the one who did it, so it's true. This was something that everyone in the community knew about, so she called the tabloids about the rumors and iirc gave them dates to help them narrow their search. In Touch filed the FOA requests, and the rest is history.

I find it disgusting that People is giving Josh money to tell his "story".

That article wasn't from an interview, it's just a timeline of events and then a quote taken from the Duggar website.

Does anyone else think that had stand-ins for Joy and Josiah? And maybe the random J-boy on the end in front of Jinger? And this must be the year the bronzer started and the year before the perms stopped.

I don't remember Jeremiah having chestnut brown hair, or Joe having dark brown hair.   

I think this might be a Scott Enlow photo where he photographed the family in groups of two, then spliced them all together. 

James got the worst photoshopping.

Yeah, that side is bad.  The perspective on Anna, Meredith (?) and Josh is weird - that side is simultaneously stretched out and flattened like a pancake.

Poor Josie looks like one of those old creepy wax dolls. Those horrid pigtails did her no favors. A pink (or any other color) cap with flowers would have made her look so much better.

You can see just how delicate she was.

She has that same little knob of a chin there that you can see in Henry on the photo that was posted the other day.

I saw something on a "fake" Duggar instagram that Jana was in a courtship with Law Bates.

I found the real Instagram of Law Bates and followed it.  On the live video part of IG, there was a quick video of a table and I saw Jessa sitting there.

So maybe Jana was there too?

I just can't imagine Jana with Lawson Bates.  He thinks he is the pretty one.  He also seems like a "boy" vs a "man".  But, then again, I'm not Jana, so we shall have to wait and see.

The Duggars are all in TN for Tabby Paine's wedding tomorrow.

maybe 5 years ago, I could have seen Jana with Lawson, when he was running his lawn mowing business and actually making money, but now he is just a pompous git (he was probably that then, but at least he was a working pompous git!)

There were rumors just a year or so ago of the great love between Lawson and Jinger, so I sincerely doubt Lawson and Jana has any truth to it.

I kind of think Lawson is halfway in love with that girl he sings with.  Whatever her name is.

The one thing that sort of upsets me about the Bates family is that, by their own admission, Lawson supported them for years yet he seems to be the butt of everyone's jokes in the family.

Maybe he is perfect for Jana, after all.

Fundies are incredibly annoying in that they can't seem to do or say anything that isn't related to religion, and they're either lording their perceived superiority over everyone else or feeling persecuted; sometimes both at once.  Their simultaneous arrogance and insecurity makes it very hard to take them seriously.

According to editor of Crown of Beauty (which features the Duggar girls)

"My generation has been forced to conform to impossible standards. We've been told that our beauty and self worth lies in our closet, our dress size, how many friends or Twitter followers we have, what kind of car we drive, how cute our boyfriend is, or how successful we are."

Sweetie, you are not cutting edge.  Gloria Steinman was saying this decades ago.  Too bad your grandmother & mother didn't heed her advice.
