The Duggalos: Jinger and the Holy Goalie

[Sew Sumi]

Jinger and Jeremy tilting at windmills earlier this evening on their 6th monthaversary. 

[ginger90]

6 months? Guess the stink bus will be arriving soon!

[Jynnan tonnix]

Those are actually nice pictures. There's something really attractive, to my eye, about that kind of windmill. I don't know what it is, but they make such an imposing presence. Here's one in England when I was visiting cousins. It was taken from the car, so not a great photo but I couldn't resist the way it complemented the landscape. Or maybe i'm just strange :)

Better than looking like Mullet. KJB doesn't make me think "And your little dog too!" 

It's so funny to me, because I actually think behind the hair and orange tan that Michelle is/was an attractive woman, but the kids who most resemble her are super unfortunate looking, at least in childhood. Josh, Jinger,  and Josie are the main examples there. Jinger has grown into an attractive women but from childhood up until her late teens I actually sorry for her for how weird looking she was.

Is that Jinger's engagement dress? Hmm do I see a tiny belly there?

I don't see a belly.

I agree. Michelle has pretty features. She just hides them under That Possum and horrible makeup. 

Jinger is attractive now, but as my Nonna used to say, all women are pretty between at about 20. Her theory was you really have to make an effort to be an unattractive 18-24 year old.

I think Jinger and Jill had the most unfortunate awkward stages. I agree Michelle is an attractive woman once you get beyond the frumpy clothes, oompa loompa tan and outdated hair. 

Regarding the windmills, it's funny because I grew up in a coastal New England town and there was mass outrage among the residents when town officials wanted to put one of those things in down by the harbor. It ended up being built, but people were not happy.

They are wind turbines - generating electricity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_turbine And can generate controversy and opposition.

we have windmill farms around here....they are meant to produce energy and we are always on alert around here especially in summer weather.

There is an outbreak of the Zika virus in Texas with 18 pregnant women diagnosed with Zika in Brownsville and McAllen (148 miles from Laredo).  One woman just gave birth to a baby with Microcephaly, characterized by a small head and small brain as well as other problems.  It might not be a good time for Jinger to plan a pregnancy, not that Duggars actually 'plan' a pregnancy.

Don't worry about Jinger all Duggars have perfect babies and that includes Josie not.

[RazzleberryPie]

Jinger's biggest rebellion possible would be to use birth control. I'd actually be impressed with her 'rebellion' if she did that.

That is unbearably sad. And scary.

I think it's funny they filmed wind turbines.  They are thought to be a better non-polluting form of energy.  Not good for birds, but still better than other forms that cause pollution.  I thought the Duggars & their ilk think the earth is theirs to pollute as much as they want.

I rolled my eyes at the stupidity of a commenter on Jeremy's post who said that turbines were "big polluters." Who knows where this idiot gets her news? Wind turbines aren't exactly a new thing. Jeez...

The Duggars are strange in the sense that they love the fetus, but hate the child of those less fortunate.

Ma and Pa Duggar aren't all that fond of their own kids, actually, in my opinion. They can love the fetus because it's all the trophy JB needs to prove his manhood and, in this case, the only trophy Meeechelle needs to prove she's the mother of the year who gave birth to every one of them. Once the kid's born it not only makes more specific demands but it's got a will of its own. They can't stand that. How would any of us like it if our bowling trophies started demanding grilled cheese for lunch when we gave it peanut butter or disagreed with us about politics? I swear that's all those kids are to them. If the kids weren't mere trophies, they'd want fewer so that they could properly care for and get to actually know them, seems to me.

It's because, somehow, in their minds, every time an egg is fertilized, it  means that God made a specific plan for that specific  embryo, whether it was wanted, unwanted, planned, accidental, a tragedy for all involved, or never going to live beyond a vegetative state.  Every single one is somehow better off being born, even if it is into a life of neglect, abuse, or agony leading to an ultimately merciful early death. 

I have to wonder how they would actually deal with a severely disabled child. Even, arguably, with a few they may have who might benefit from  whole lot of intervention somewhere along the line.

What is it that they think God has planned for all these kids, and what are they doing to give them all the best chance possible?

I'm with George Carlin on this one.  These wackos are all for the unborn!  But once you're born, you're on your own!  

[frenchtoast]

Let's bring this back to Jinger and Jeremy, please. Thanks.

[Lunera]

Someone asked him if his books were still in the closet lol

[Sew Sumi]

Is the Applications Commentary book really a study guide for the NIV? First Jinger and the ESV, now this. For @Arwen Evenstar, I'll quote Ru: "Escandele!" 

Boob's head must be spinning...

[EAG46]

Well at least he's reading.

I actually think that's a sweet photo.  JB & Michelle actually match nicely, and Jinger's smile seems real and joyful. 

Her parents still suck, but girlfriend got the best wedding and photos so far........

I agree. For once, JB and Michelle are co-ordinated without looking totally cheesy and the purple in their clothes plays off nicely with the berries in Jinger's bouquet. It was a major step up from Jill's and Jessa's weddings.

And you know Jessa thought her "rebel" choice of a blush pink gown would always put her on top.   I think Jing beat her by a mile in all categories, including groom!  *LOL*

[queenanne]

I guess Jeremy will soon preach a sermon on Philippians.  lol.  At least his prep fits in with my mental imagings of what a good minister does.

That pile of books looks like Jeremy is trying to make up for the fact that he never attended theology school and doesn't have the slightest idea what he is doing.  He should have done all that reading and studying before deciding he was a minister.

He must really feel inadequate to read that pile of books to give a sermon to 20 people.

[Nysha]

I think it's great that Jeremy is reading and learning prior to preaching his sermons. 

[Almost 3000]

No one reads all those books weekly as Jeremy said he was. Showing off if anything.

[Sew Sumi]

He's not reading all those books, just finding reference material. I wonder if he cites it during his sermons and can make his own arguments based on whatever Bible quote and source material he's using? Or is he totally plagiarizing? Curious minds....and even Jinger wouldn't know the answer, since it's highly unlikely she's even cracked open many, if any, of Jeremy's books. 

[ariel]

I think Jeremy is reading some fundy version of Cliff Notes & just regurgitating it to us.  I also think Jeremy is a Tim Tebow want to be.

I just love this thread's title.  Kudos to whomever came up with "Holy Goalie."

I do think the above photo is nice.  One snark though:  why does Dimbulb think that grey suit does him any favors?  A guy that uses Aqua Net would be more fashionable, I would think!

[Spencer Hastings]

I think it's nice that Jeremy is reading before spouting off at the mouth. At least his reading material is substantial and calls for some kind of higher order thinking.  Don't we always berate them for NOT reading and doing their research?  I know plenty of pastors who went to college and seminary but don't put any work into it after. I appreciate that he knows he's not an expert on everything, so I can't snark on him for trying to prepare for his sermon.  I do the same thing when I'm introducing something new in the classroom or need ideas from people smarter and more experienced.  Better to borrow ideas than get up there unprepared.

Jinger gets grilled about her fecundity even before Jill left for Danger America. Also confirmed that the show is coming back next month.

How f- ing obnoxious are those four girls standing around asking the only freaking thing they know to say. I hope Jinj responds with "Mind your own damn business bitches. I'm actually enjoying my time with my husband."

Geeez I hate Jill and Jessa. Leave the poor girl alone maybe she wants to actually enjoy time with her husband and not focus on babymaking. 

 I think Jessa is definitely jealous that Jinger had some time to enjoy married life with an adult husband with a job before popping out babies. I bet they are doing some type of family planning. Jessa is so dumb I think she thought that it wouldn't happen right away because I vaguely  remember saying she wanted to wait 3 years before having a baby since her husband was barely legal at the time.

[BitterApple]

Judging from the expression on Jinger's face, I wonder if she isn't starting to outgrow her siblings a bit. Maybe after spending some time outside the compound, she realizes those sorts of questions are completely inappropriate. It's basically your own family asking about your sex life. Gross. 

[SMama]

I doubt it will happen but it would be amazing if the Vuolos celebrate their first wedding anniversary, sans child or pregnancy.

[Portia]

I have been really crossing my fingers that they're trying Natural Family Planning. When I took NFP classes, they were taught by observant Catholics, but quite a few of the attendees were evangelicals who were wanting to "not shut God out' of the family planning process but who also were realistic enough to realize that one baby per year was probably not going to be great for their families.

They all did the same shit to Anna....they pestered her for months until she got pregnant. 

ETA: OK, saw the clip. Not to defend them much but that looked staged. I'm sure they've asked a ton of times but that particularly moment looked fake to me---from the way Jill asked to the expression on Jinger's face.

The one thing in the accompanying article that made me SO happy was learning that Jill was having another boy.  She & Jessa just can't seem to spawn that girl baby to take the child-raising off their hands!  

Watch Jinger wait 2-3 years then have the girl, while the others including Joy Anna keep squirting out boys.   *LOL*  THAT would be such poetic justice!

Jessa has said before that she wanted all boys.  For some reason she doesn't want to parent or mother a daughter.

[SMama]

Was that Jessa or Bin? I read somewhere he said he wanted a football team, fifteen boys. Sorry if I'm misinformed, I have no idea how many are needed to form a football team.
