I just knew you would be familiar with all these Godly people @Churchhoney. lol.

My head is about to explode just reading this. I can’t believe the way these people live. Every day they live in fear of doing something sinful. Don’t any of them have a moral compass, or a smidgen of common sense that tells them the difference between right and wrong without interjecting God into every. little.thing.? 

And lo and behold, there’s Jeremy smack in the middle. So,we know he’s part of the fold no matter how smooth he is on the outside.

You couldn’t pay me to attend this drivel.

Me neither. 

[Christina87]

Omg the part about "do you dress to get attention?" is freaking annoying. Like Jeremy and Jinger DON'T dress to get attention? They had to know the internet would explode when Jinger started wearing pants! If they didn't want attention, she could have quietly worn them in real life instead of constantly flaunting it. Also, what are Felicity's headbands and hats if not attention grabbers? And I'd argue the way the entire clan dresses is to call attention to how godly they are! They may THINK they are different than the girl walking down the street in the skin tight miniskirt, but they are not!

Why isn't Derelict speaking? He is THE greatest missionator of all time. He sacrificed his family's safety by going to Danger America for the Lord.  I guess it coincides with law school.

Who is David Platt?  He's mentioned a few time in the replies.

Do the speakers get paid?  If so, how much?  I would hope if they do get paid they would give it back to a mission fund. 

And Jeremy is an expert because of his zero years in the field?

[FizzyPuff]

That’s some interesting info you posted @Churchhoney thanks. 

Smacking a shy child so they won’t be shy anymore? Disgusting! I was a shy child and am still a shy adult at times, smacking me would’ve made me even less likely to speak. 

And don’t even get me started on dressing modestly BS, these people shouldn’t be allowed to raise a dog never mind children. 

[Sew Sumi]

Voddie's an asshole. I have no clue how his daughter Jasmine turned out to be so normal. She has one kid, pregnant with a second, yet she's still working as a teacher. She was featured in VF's Return of the Daughters, proclaiming that she wD a SAHD and proud of it. She's since written of her regret participating in that mess.

[MargeGunderson]

I want to know where the book on dressing modestly is for teen boys. I mean, I know I was defrauded by boys in tight jeans as a teenager. Just me?

[DangerousMinds]

Women can’t be defrauded, according to them.

Yup. Men think of women with their penises and women think of men with their heart.

[xwordfanatik]

Just think:  in 20 years, Pastor (Reverend?) Godly Mr. Stud-Muffin Jeremy will be "handing off" (to quote Boob, the misogynist asshole) little Lissy to some famewhore man (just like he was, when dear Jer made a mission trip, to get next to a genuine Duggar virgin.)

Does our little Jin not trust Jer enough to let him go anyplace without her and baby in tow?  Nice that they can afford all that airfare.

I dunno, this is a girl who was raised (or at least spent her teenage years) traveling all together as a family all the time, whether it was stinkbus or airplane, whether there were new babies or medically fragile toddlers (Josie). She doesn't know any other way. Now, I'm sure Jeremy could point out to her that it might be smarter to stay home and she'd go along with it, but I bet he enjoys having his "famous" bride with him, so he'll do no such thing.

I seriously doubt Jeremy would be in much demand as a speaker if not for his wife and now their daughter.  Even if she wanted to stay home, which I also doubt, his speaking opportunities would likely diminish if it became known that he would travel solo.  Gawking at TV "star" Jinger in the role of dutiful wife and perfect mother is part of his traveling preacher act.  From what I've read here on the forums, his orating skills aren't the type to draw in crowds.

I'm 99% sure all the preaching gigs Jermy is getting are because of his Duggar wife. She's the one people want to meet not his boring ass. The Vuolo's also use Jinger's name to sell tickets for their SWAN event.

[irisheyes]

In their circles, wives always travel with their husbands, especially when they only have one baby or after the kids are grown.  If he showed up by himself, even if his wife wasn’t famous, he’d get the side eye from the little old ladies in the pews. 

[BitterApple]

I wonder if Jinger and Jeremy even like living in Laredo. It seems like they jump on every opportunity to skip town rather than establish themselves in the community and grow their church.

[galaxychaser]

Poor felicity will no doubt screech and bother other passengers on the plane. And get sick. Jinger should stay home with her.

I think I remember Jeremy saying in an episode that his dream place to live was LA. I'm pretty sure it was during a newlywed game. 

Pretty sure the reason they didn't move there for his Masters classes was because Jinger was pregnant.

Maybe, maybe not. My oldest and I traveled stateside for her first Thanksgiving and Christmas because my husband was overseas. In the span of 8 weeks we went on 6 flights; 2 international, 4 domestic and not once did she throw a fit or get sick. I nursed her, brought a few rattles and she slept quite a bit. Not all babies are horrible travelers. 

[DangerousMinds]

I still wonder has Jinger EVER spent much time home alone, or even shopped alone?

[floridamom]

How many times has little Felicity, born this past July, boarded an airplane? Too many IMO. All that traveling that she's doing will not develop good baby sleeping habits. The girl has no daily routine for eating and sleeping. Just like the rest of the Duggar children...up and out late at night, waking up and sleeping all hours....not a healthy lifestyle. I'm surprised, really, that Jinger and Jeremy aren't at home more at this time. This child hasn't slowed them down one bit. It appears that Jeremy is a 'guest pastor' at his own church due to hardly being there.

Y’all know I find them repulsive and love to snark - but - babies fly all the time. We fly and see babies. They don’t all screech. Many times hard to know they are on a flight. Our family member has an 18 month old that flew regularly.  They posted to Instagram things like “flight 26”. I babysat him numerous times and he is a good napper and sick rarely. Sadly they moved but they post pictures of him and his baby brother in all sorts of situations.  These are non fundie educated people. No sermons involved.  

[ginger90]

Personally, I’d prefer seeing a child travel, to having a mother thinking bringing their children outside to play is a new idea.

[Christina87]

I think it's too much, but I may have a different perspective, because my parents didn't fly with us until high school! Lol! Of course, we would have behaved fine from elementary school up, but they just didn't have anywhere they had to fly. Still, they said they were happy to put off big trips, or drive (I'll never forget the 12-hour drive to Disney!) until we were old enough, out of respect for other passengers. I personally don't think this is too much to ask for most people, but then again, the Vuolos are a pretty far drive, and even the Duggars are. I just wish Felicity didn't have to go to all Jeremy's conferences, and unnecessary places like that! If Jinger and Jeremy were normal, I'd figure they had normal reasons, but it bugs me because her SOLE purpose of being there (along with jinger's, honestly) is to be publicity and garner them lots of attention. Isn't that the kind of thing the speakers at that conference are speaking against? The secondary reason is that clingy Jinger can't be alone, and/or Jeremy's not "supposed" to be alone. This whole belief system is silly! I'd hate to know I was risking my child (probably not fully vaccinated child; not sure how the schedule works, but she seems young to have everything) catching the flu or something because I was too weak and needy to just stay home. I don't think the simple fact that she's flown a lot is a problem, but I do think the stupid reasons are a problem.

Exactly!  @Loves2Dance had legitimate reasons for flying.  You can’t realistically drive to any countries except Canada and Mexico, and babies that are internationally adopted make those flights every day.    

But just to tag along during flu season seems crazy to me especially since children have become gravely ill.  Today’s  flu viruses are nothing to play with.  I know of two recent cases of RSV alone.  

Does flying frequently with a baby make them bad parents? Absolutely not! But as @Christina87 said, it such a silly reason to expose her at a vulnerable time.  And let’s not forget Jinger is probably getting her parenting advice from MOTY so there’s that.

Stupid double post

[Scarlett45]

I have a different perspective as well- I took my first flight at 5yrs old (to Disney World) because all of my family lives in Chicago and my Mom firmly believed her vacation time was a time to get AWAY from her children, until such an age I could enjoy a vacation - that age was 5 in her mind.  (So I don’t get why people take babies and toddlers on vacation- defeats the purpose, but I know that’s coming from a place of privilege where not everyone has access to affordable trust worthy childcare). 

That being said I don’t mind babies and toddlers on flights, they have to get to places too, but like @Christina87 I don’t GET why you would bother. I suppose Jinger and Jeremy have Felicity on planes because they want to travel and want to bring her along. People have to raise their kids how they want and I don’t think it’s damaging to her to be on a plane right now.

That's funny, my mom was the same way. My first flight was at six years of age and we went to Disney as well. 

[PradaKitty]

Wow. I didn’t get to fly until I was in high school!  However, my mother took me in a three day train trip from Southern California to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan when I was six.  

I’ve hated trains ever since...

I took a train trip to Canada at 6. On that trip I learned to do a French braid. 

 

I think a train trip would be fun for a small child, but the USA is such a car culture I don’t think most families do them often. It will be interesting to see how the families travel if they have more children. My mom and I always travel as a family of TWO, logistically that’s different than traveling as a family 5-6ppl. Even if your children have a good temperament for traveling. Jinger’s other infants may not travel as much as felicity has for that reason.

My first plane trip was at age 25 after I'd graduated med school.  One of my younger sisters flew to Florida with a friend's family when she was around 14.  All the rest of us flew as adults.  For that matter, I only remember my parents taking one plane trip, to a sales convention my father attended when I was around 5.  My mom didn't fly again until I took her to Florida when I was 30.  For my father, it was longer than that.  We flew to Chicago for Thanksgiving with my sister when I was around 40.  Flying away on vacation wasn't something most of us lower middle class kids did.

I think johannah looks so grown up suddenly!  To me she resembles josh, jinger, and Jana. I’ve always thought jordyn (random Y) is adorable and I love her little face. 

They all look sad and tired. Like they took the photo fifty thousand times and they were over it. Or like this whole thing was their parents’ idea and they don’t care. 

I’ve always thought that Jordyn looks the least Duggar-like and adorable.  Jenni has always been a very pretty girl.

My first thought was, "oh, thank God, Jinger's wearing pants again."

Jinger looks better since giving birth.  Her skin, eyes, expression etc.  So much cleaner, natural and happier!  She looks really put together now.  

 

She is a long way from the crunchy perm, slicked bangs, greasy skin and those constant faces that annoyed the crap out of me.  *although her skin was less greasy than the others

[Christina87]

Jinger looks so pretty and normal here! If I passed her on the street, I'd think, "what a cute young lady," and then move on. There haven't been many occasions I would think that about any duggar!

[Churchhoney]

Yeah, me too.

The only reason they declare this, though, is that their aim is to blame women for everything and let men completely off the hook.

Men can be defrauded (and constantly are, on their interpretation...) by those evil female defrauders. Men, the victims; women, the tools of Satan. .But if women could be defrauded, the defrauder culprits would have to be men. And we can't have that! 

It's sickening how this plays out in all their crap, like this quote about the "Modesty" book that a woman's going to talk to Jingle and company about in Atlanta..... Young women have "a huge responsibility...as they make clothing choices."  And guess what that responsibility is? To prevent boys and men from having sexual thoughts! And if the boys and men DO have those thoughts, it's all the fault of the women's bad clothing choices. 

It permeates their culture. And the blinded, idiot Duggar women and their "friends" don't have a clue about what a load of crap their "godly men" dump on them on a daily basis.  

Nauseating.

The knot really needs to go though. I keep thinking how it's said men lose hair if they wear hats all the time. So it makes wonder if she'll grow hair wearing these knots all the time..lol

These pictures are adorable, and Jeremy is clearly besotted with his little girl. I can't see this same level of interest though for baby #5, or baby #10. I really think it's possible that Jinger and Jeremy will have a small family -- I still have hope for them.

On an unrelated note, Jeremy's shirt doesn't work with that jacket at all. He is so very careful about his appearance, and this fail surprises me a bit.

[Oldernowiser]

LOSE THAT HORRIBLE TURBAN.

She’s an adorable little thing but she looks like she’s wearing a bucket over her head.

Just no.

[lascuba]

Damn, Jinger's got the Duggar hairline. Oof.

Jinger's got to be getting paid for posting picture of Felicity with those turbans. Like, I can understand her basic ass finding them cute and putting them on her once or twice, but not so much that she posts so many pictures of her in them.

Whatever she’s doing to her hair is causing breakage at her hairline.  She needs to take a break on the straightening.

Jinger and Jeremy both have strong chins. I wonder whose chin Felicity's resembles?
