Definitely not humble. I thought that was a quality they claim to aspire to.

Sadly, in my experience, humility among pastors is a very rare quality indeed. I have a new pastor who's young, visionary, and charismatic, and who's also incredibly down-to-earth. I recently told him I pray every day that he'll keep his humility.

JereME tweeted that they were safe at home in Laredo and had taken in some friends who evacuated from Corpus Christi. So no, no Christian Duty going on here, just putting up his buddies for a couple of days. Corpus is actually going to get off much more lightly than further north, so his friends can drive home after church tomorrow so they're ready to go back to work on Monday.

Sounds like a frat party. Maybe we will get a picture of his tattoo in a drunken posting session?

People evacuating a hurricane area before the storm normally go where there are friends & family, or to a hotel.  After the storm, most stay fairly local so they can clean up their property, assess the damage and be there for insurance and emergency services, etc.  

Laredo is too far from Corpus for people to go if they don't already know folks there.  It's a 2 1/2 hour drive, and people just don't go that far unless they plan to stay.  It makes sense for some of their friends to visit, but certainly not "refugees" who don't know them.  And by the looks of their church, it's in no way an appropriate refugee center, even if they wanted to take folks in.  It would need to provide adequate supplies of bedding, food, sanitary services & other things that tiny church just doesn't have. 

They couldn't if they wanted to with the resources they have.

PASTOR Jeremy did not mention his flock/church, only HIS friends. 

(I just cannot stand Jeremy. So full of himself.)

"Friends" is a pretty common way to refer to one's congregation/community. I volunteer with an animal rescue, and we refer to our community as our friends even if we can't stand them.

I don't watch these shows anymore and only keep up with them on a few threads here so I have a question. Why is it bad and why are they being criticized for taking in friends during a storm? I sincerely don't understand why this is a bad thing. I would take in friends and I wouldn't take in strangers in most cases, I wouldn't want people I don't know staying in my house, so I don't get why this is wrong.

Nothing wrong with helping those in need. I think the fact that they can't just do something nice or decent without bragging about it on social media.  I hope they didn't take in strangers, that could have been dangerous. Most people who needed to evacuate had to drive further than 2 and a ha.lf hours just to get away  from the storm to avoid going from ne disaster to another.

Places people from Corpus would typically evacuate to are having it far worse with respect to catastrophic flooding right now.  Laredo this time was a good choice.

I don't see a problem with Jeremy taking in actual friends, or pastors/church staff from Corpus Christie, or members of fellow churches. He's got a famous wife, and no security that we are aware of.    does it matter who he took in as long as he took someone in?  That's x number of people that found refuge.

I agree, it's great that he took care of his friends, but, no need to brag about it.  It's what most anyone would do.  I must say, I was very impressed to see a story on the news about the large number of AirBNB owners who participate in their disaster program and allow anyone being evacuated who needs a place to stay to come to their house and pay exactly nothing.  Apparently, people all over the area volunteered their homes to strangers in need.

It's nice that Jeremy has friends staying with them. No problem with that. 

It's amusing that Pastor Vuolo never says a darn thing about his church. If you didn't read these forums, you would never realize he is an actual pastor of an actual church.   Texas is in a state of emergency and Pastor Vuolo has his friends staying with him.  (hey, pass me the chips!) Oh, and we are praying for you guys!

 I know it's a quick tweet but it's just a pattern with this guy.

 but would she ever take anyone in who needed help like fire or floods

I don't think the family would turn away a person who needed immediate shelter from fire or floods, but there's already like 15-20 people living in a three bedroom house. Jinger had her diary stolen by some infiltrator, and someone on FJ used concealed recording devices at their flea market. The mountain of hate mail they've undoubtedly received would also make anyone wary of the general public.

Just to clarify, I didn't mean that Jeremy and Jinger should have strangers sleeping on their floor.  Sadly, that is not safe.

Jeremy just bugs me that it is all "me, me, me!!!!"  "we are safe"  "we have friends"  Not one word about his church family? 

Damn, you'd think a minister would sound/look a little professional and not like a self involved teenager.

I don't have a problem with Jeremy (or anyone) bragging about helping, solely because it's been proven that people are more likely to help those in need if they see/hear about other people doing it. So even if Jeremy is helping 'for the wrong reasons' and bragging for attention, if it encourages some of the people following to do the same, that is a good thing, regardless of his reasons.

Doing good deeds in secret doesn't spur others to follow as much as doing them out loud.

It appears as if he was answering direct Twitter inquiries as to the storm safety of Team Duggalo...although anyone with knowledge of a map should have known that Laredo was pretty safe. And frankly, had he mentioned his church family, he'd have been chastised by many for exploiting them (or the tragedy) to make him look good. They took in evacuees but not the correct ones. Let's be real. They need to just keep doing whatever makes them happy because they'll be eviscerated no matter what.

Eh, in his demographic that is the norm. If you saw my instagram you would prolly say the same thing about me. My whole page is either selfies or videos of me lifting and with my friends. lol

You may be right.  My old(er) age is showing.  Plus, I think jocks in general think too highly of themselves.  

Just curious, what are you lifting in the photos?  I had to lift plenty of heavy shit in my working life, and it took its toll, sorry to say.  I should mention that I hated my job.  Being old (and retired) isn't altogether a bad thing! ;)

Hahaha hey you gotta be confident to be an athlete, that is for sure.  And weights! I love weightlifting. I didn't start lifting until i was 27 and I am so sad I didn't start earlier. All those wasted years! haha

Much different than having to lift at a job, tho. Physical jobs sure do take their toll. enjoy your retirement!! :-) That is the dream!

 

Back to on topic, I think its nice to see Jeremy doing selfies than picking twitter wars with minors or posting fire and brimstone verses. If  i had to spend an afternoon with any duggars, it woudl be Jinger and Jere hands down. They are actually being somewhat normal with their social media.

Hehe, too bad Ben didn't go for Jin, and then maybe Jeremy would have gone for Jessa?  Or maybe not.

I wonder how much Jessa envies Jin's relative freedom, as compared with hers.  I married an older man myself (5 years) so it may be dear Jessa regrets marrying a teenager?  

S. Elliot and Henry are very cute kids, though.  But if I was in Jessa's shoes, I would be happy with my two boys.  Same goes double (or triple, or quadruple) for Jill.

At least Ben seems onboard with co-parenting.  Derick is just not a helpmate, as far as I can tell.

If I had to spend an afternoon with Jerm or Der I'd take Der hands down

Id love to try and get inside Der's head to understand why he is the way he is

An afternoon with Jerm would be as boring as all get out with him talking about himself/his ministry and no one else being able to get a word in

My husband and I enjoy browsing around Barnes and Noble on a lazy Sunday, but I can't imagine telling Mr. Bitter Apple to whip his smart phone out and take pictures of me artfully posed and pensively contemplating the latest James Patterson novel. How do these people take these kinds of pictures and not feel absolutely ridiculous? Maybe I'm just getting old....

I guess because Jeremy went to college, was a professional athlete, traveled, is a minister of an actual church,  I expect him to be mature and demonstrate some wisdom. 

I have lower standards for Ben & Derick.  

Ben was an inexperienced teen and is still very young although he is trying. Derick has such severe mental health problems and physical problems that I feel he is incompetent. He is just delusional and needs therapy, just to start. 

Jeremy is just so self involved. Probably the minister part is what gets me.

I am in love with this post.  I have a neighbor, early-40's, who posts drivel like this.  It's so laughable, and it smacks of a person who is trying very hard to create a persona that doesn't exist in real life.

I am not a millenial, and most of my Facebook friends are my age or older. I am off Facebook because I got so annoyed with the documenting of the minutia (and politics).  Ugh, I cannot look at another selfie.  Jinger and Jeremy are posting just like most who are big into social media - especially instagram. It has nothing to do with age or generation.  More like need for gratification of "likes."  Now get off my lawn. 

My son moved into his college apartment this past weekend.  I didn't take any pictures.  When I was browsing FB later that day, what did I see?  Picture after picture after cutely posed picture of my friend's kids moving into their dorms/apartments.  For a fleeting moment, I thought - aw, I forgot to take pictures!  But then I realized that just because I didn't post anything, it still happened and I'm fine with that.  You're absolutely right, it's all about the "likes."  And when everyone steps off your lawn they'd better not step on mine, 'cause I'll be sitting on the porch with my garden hose set to "Blast."
