The Duggars: In the Media and TLC


Guest

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 only listened to a couple minutes. The voices hurt me. I listened to how Jimbo prepares his sons to resist sexual temptation. he gives the boys $1000 to memorize the entire book of proverbs. Probably $1 a year for 1000 years. Jer is taking him up on it.

Edit: I listened a little more: romance novels are the same as porn. Jim says you can't truly enjoy sin. Antidepressants and buying yourself things are the reason Jesus came. Jim Bob actually said that. . The Duggs sure buy themselves a lot of things. Private planes, etc. Jim Bob claims the kids use cheap non-smart phones. Jim Bob says they also have macbook airs (by name). Michelle says she and the older girls all have the internet password. Mechelle says satan causes it. Jim bob pulls out desires being stored up and says defrauding. Michelle asks the kids to tell her about their sexual fantasies and temptations. (Yeah, tell mommie all about how seeing the DDD boobies made you feel in great detail Omit noting. Ewwww) Michelle attributes sexual desires to statan putting the thoughts in your head. Jim says she says the desires aren't natural and can be overcome with spiritual warfare. The kids need to be their own watchdogs (how? they were never trusted as kids or teens?). Accountability fixes everything. Michelle says shock treatments (?) don't eliminate guilt. They hawk the girls book. This interview is worth listening to, you can hear the crazyness, inconsistencies, and immaturity of the parents teachings. No one here is remotely on good terms with sex, temptation, or life.

Maybe the password is "shibboleth".

JB sure has money to waste.

This is also why religious couples have trouble having sex with each other when they do marry. How can you go from sex is wrong and dirty to have it day to get pregnant.

Especially the laundry. If laundry day already haunts you, imagine doing it for a family of 21. But it looks like Michelle has hacked the system. "I made my life easy," she says. "I would have them all wear the same colors one day so my laundry would be easy that day. It made it simple for me until I was able to train my kids -- the older ones -- to be able to help in that area." Hear that? Matching colors for every day of the week means no laundry mishaps.

“It’s so important not to have open Internet that you can go see anything, do anything, any time you want,” the Duggar dad said. “Especially now with the smartphones. They can go off by themselves and take it out in a hurry. It has the potential to steal somebody’s soul.”

I. Can't. Even.

 

I sincerely hope those kids are having their souls stolen on a regular basis. Remember the recent episode that featured a little sidebar about Joy getting her wisdom teeth pulled? MEchelle and the howler girls entered the bedroom and Joy shut her laptop really quickly. I doubt she was doing anything really rebellious, but I hoped she was at least watching some secular music videos, or maybe playing Candy Crush.

I'm commenting on this from my smartphone... I guess my soul is long gone.

I. Just. Can't. I mean how can you truly be that delusional? For people so focused on purity, they talk about sex more than most shows... I have only seen a couple episodes of keeping up with the kardashians, but as the standard of reality TV... They don't talk about sex as much as the Duggars. And girls can't have impure thoughts? I mean, I get that guys can be horndogs, but give them a little credit to have some self control.

I want to now what kind of map app they've discovered that offers the chance of viewing risqué content. Are they afraid the Google map car is going to cruise by a strip club?

I just checked out the original site those quotes were taken from. There is a pop-up where you can enter an email address of someone who will keep you accountable for your internet use by mailing reports of your online activities to that person. It never fails to amaze me how these people don't trust themselves.

I can't get over their line that temptations are designed by Satan to pull us from God. Does that mean all temptations? By their thinking, Satan is involved when I'm tempted to have that extra piece of chocolate cake. I would hope Satan is too busy with other things than to worry about my dessert choices. Didn't Boob give into Satan to make the decision to hump his wife at the mini golf course?

I wonder how Joe feels when he pulls out his 1995 flip phone around friends at college? Poor guy. I'm surprised they are allowed to text or do the texts have to go to Boob first for approval? Hopefully Joe found some way to get an I-phone & plan on his own.

I think Jim Bob skips this verse in Ephesians when he does Bible study.

 

 

Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.

I would classify a lot of his behavior in foolish talk or coarse joking and he may drift into obscenity with the sex talk and behavior.

I know someone who did something like this. He had a program on his computer that emailed reports to a friend he trusted that knew his issues. He was a porn addict. He was in therapy because it had taken over portions of his life & destroyed relationships.

For me personally it would be much worse if someone, say my mother, got an email report of all the time I waste online for completely frivolous reasons, just to provide myself mindless entertainment. I can hear the lecture about making the best use of the time you're given even now...

Does anyone wanna be my accountability, and be notified how often I come to this site, or shop online. I mean I do Google some pretty interesting things like "signs and symptoms of hashimoto thyroiditis" or "pathophysiology of bipolar disorder" (im in nursing school)...good thing I'm out of maternity/ ob/gyn... Those would have been some "neat" notifications.

In looking up video of Jim Bob/Michelle's golf course infamy, I came across a clip of Jimmy Fallon doing a few jokes about the show (including a clip) during a Tonight Show monologue.

As much as conservatives are assholes, they aren't stupid. My conservative friend posts all types of stupid shit,homeschools but her kids got into a good colleges. They are actually ahead for their grade. This meeting will actually be interesting

Yesterday I saw a video of Derick, Bin and some others sledding.  They thought it would be funny to sled and hit a cat that was sitting in the area. They hit it and then laugh.

 Today, I read a post by SewSumi in another thread asking if the cat was THE cat?     The cat as in the one they hit?

             I don't want to say what I am hoping happens to these horrible people and hate isn't a strong enough word to describe how I feel about them.

                I hope the cat runs away and finds a good home.

From the article Literata posted:

"I will just tell you that (the Duggars) are the kind of folks whose family is the exemplary family that you'd love for every family in America to be like."

Funny, because I've always felt grateful that my family isn't like the Duggars.

Not sure why MEchelle's making a fist. Maybe someone off-camera asked her how it feels to NOT be the one having a baby. 

Michelle is often very clenched in her photos, sometimes quite obviously. I've wondered if it's a sign of control issues or extreme anxiety.

Lots of luck trying to control 200 people.

 

Lots of luck remembering all the names! If he actually gets 200 grandkids - and can actually name them all correctly at any point without aids - like personalized tee shirts or headbands - I'll make a donation to the FRC!

Not sure if this would be the right place to post, but what happened to the Benessa honeymoon episode that was previewed last week? Now they seem to be showing some sort of episode billed as being new, but it's a clip job about Duggar weddings.

PHOTOS: At Home with Ben & Jessa Duggar Seewald | AT FIRST BITE | One perk of living together? Cooking for two, with an extra helping of love on the side. Recently, Ben cooked Jessa dinner, serving it with a note that read, "Your smile brightens my spirit like the first gleams of sunrise after a crisp autumn night in the Arkansas Ozarks."

 

Is their address #1 Stepford Lane, Stepford, USA by any chance?  Jessa looking pregnant, so I think they finally got the kiss down pat and thensome.

Could he be a little more specific? I'm not getting a clear enough picture ;)

 

And it's amazing how being away from TTH and getting sex regularly can make previously non-enjoyable tasks for Jessa (cooking) suddenly palatable.

They said that "most" of the boys have flip phones.  I've seen fan pics of Joseph on social media sites where he's definitely carrying a smart phone with an orange cover.

That simile is trying WAY too hard; it's like he's taking a creative writing workshop for beginners.

He's young.  If you want some really bad writing, see if you can find TFDW's version of his brush with the law when he tried to steal some pecans while driving home from a Bible Bee.  The story that is now posted on his website is bad enough, but the one he originally posted (and then edited) is found on Free Jinger, complete with snark.

The poems, notes, flowery language and flowers that Ben comes up with for Jessa came up in the conversation between Michelle and Jessa.  These things were not really appreciated by Jessa who thought they were strange.  Michelle said Jessa had to learn to accept them and it was then Michelle also came up with her always available for sex comment, because it didn't take long.  I understood Jessa on this one because the poems etc would have done nothing for me as well.  In fact, I'd have thought he was a bit of a nut.  To each her own.

I found a photo of jinger wearing pants and looks like she is using a phone but doesn't look like a flip phone
