Jessa, Ben and Their Brood: Making a (Diaper) Mountain out of a Mold House

[Skittl1321]

I don't know why his Christian is better than anyone else's form of Christian?

God said so.

[GEML]

Because if it's not better, what would be the point of all those rules and feeling miserable so much of the time?

[MyPeopleAreNordic]

He will never, ever know the first thing about dating because he never dated. The first time he was alone with a woman was on his wedding night.

Eh, he doesn't know the first thing about dating for now (so I agree he shouldn't think he can give advice on dating currently). I'm thinking now that the show is canceled, eventually riding the Duggar gravy train is gonna get old as the money/jobs/etc that JimBob doles out to Ben & Jessa will start to be diminished, especially as the other kids marry & drain more $ out of JimBob. Even if he and Jessa make a decent living giving talks, etc, it isn't ever going to be the way it was for them a few months ago before the scandal broke (and when they got married). The attention, money, etc is going to lessen more and more over time. I suspect Ben & Jessa will eventually (maybe a LONG time from now) divorce and he'll get some experience dating. So o wouldn't count on him never, ever have experience dating.

I have to admit that I will miss seeing MEchelle lusting over Bin everytime she sees him. *sigh*

[Adiba]

Now that the show is done, I wonder if Bin and Jessa are taking turns throwing darts at a dartboard with a picture of Josh's face on it.

[Churchhoney]

So true. Of all the Duggars/Duggars-in-law, he's definitely the most likely to survive.

 

There's a joke in here about someone mistaking Derrick for a zombie these days...

 

Or a joke about Ben having married into a entire tribe of zombies without realizing it. Sort of like a caterpillar being immobilized and wrapped in spider silk, for when the spider family gets hungry in the lean season.

[PinkSprinkles]

As a Mormon, Ben is barking up the wrong tree. Come to church with me and then we will talk. Don't interview some random guy.

 

Be brave, Ben!!!  If you're gonna condemn me to hell, at least make sure you have accurate information. 

 

He should really interview one of our missionaries. Though that may not be fair. Perhaps a recent seminary grad would be better. ;-)

(Howling) Oh, that's just CRUEL!

[BitterApple]

My guess is dartboard or voodoo doll. Jessa must be especially pissed. Overnight she went from tv reality star to unemployed housewife married to a toilet scrubber.

[SpottedCoachDog]

I'm guessing Ben feels like Katie Holmes about now. She thought she was living a fantasy and marrying a major movie star and would get an A-List career rolling. Instead, she got a couch jumping, full on Scientology lunatic who tanked his career by calling newscasters "glib" and claimed post-partum depression was cured with vitamins and exercise.

Ben...no Joel Osteen dreams for you! You're an uneducated man-child and religious bully. No more brother-in-law with high powered conservative connections. No more teevee exposure. And your hot, fundy royalty bride has been exposed as a mean girl who alienated childhood sexual abuse survivors cause she thinks it's no big deal. Good luck supporting her champagne expectations with your cheap beer potential.

[autumnh]

Poor Bin...just when he thought he'd be famous it all went kamboom. Bye Bin.

[Magoo]

Byeeee Bin. Bye Bye to your dreams of your world-famous militant ministry. While I've no doubt there will still be people who will try to follow him on social media, he will be shocked at how fast the new reality flavor off the month will take his place. Cue trumpets of sarcastic sadness.

I'd hate to be joshy right now, I'm almost sure lil blessa is right next to daddy screaming at him.

[sometimesy]

We need to give Garbage Bin some advice. Here is mine

Blow your nose.

Go to a licensed barber.

[autumnh]

Bin needs to get a REAL job....unless he and Jessa will start their own ministry ala the Jillards....I am a happy happy happy Catholic...so suck it Bin! :) sorry...I am enjoying it just a bit much lol

[autumnh]

I also wonder what kind of Joshy is getting since he brought down the Duggar empire....I bet it is pure misery. That karma...I do like her a lot .

But, in the glorious end a beautiful army of cats appear and scratch both of them to death, a very slow one.

Maybe the cats from AK will rise against him ala the show ala the show Zoo.

I'm glad she broke free of the swim dresses the girls wear & unlike Jilly, she is wearing a more supportive bra for the girls. (NIKE, I do feel defrauded though. She is wearing a wet clingy T-shirt & my eyes were drawn to that area.)

They haven't announced what they are having officially, have they? Because those look like little boy shoes.

[Skittl1321]

They look "gender neutral" to me.

The Duggars aren't very creative. Boy shoes would be blue.

hmm. Good catch. 

 

I didn't know Duggars wore shoes.

[CofCinci]

Jessa sure loves those pink cha cha heels.

Looks like bird shit and cigarette butts around their baby (boy) shoes picture.

Am i the only one who feels like Jessa has been pregnant for about three years straight?

Oh, Jessa.

[BitterApple]

Yes!!! The crazy thing is she did the normal three month announcement and it still feels like forever.

[Sew Sumi]

Even worse, I think she announced at 14 weeks, and I think she just hit 25 weeks. 11 weeks of HELL, y'all! :D

I am so sorry to have my ignorance and innocence, but what is that picture and the quote about crystals purported to show?     I don't get it all and yet I know somehow this is something that would automatically piss me off, since it comes from Jesse and apparently from her thought(less) partner Ben.

I read the link. Abiogenesis is apprently impossible. Jessa doesn't need your goddamned science. She just wants her iphone, sonagrams, etc. They're magic!

[ChocolateAddict]

I think that Jessa is trying to say is that life must arise from other life (biogenesis) as opposed to a living organism arising from non-living matter (abiogenesis). I skimmed the article and it argued that life can only come from other life = humans came from something alive = God created humans.  That said, there is no way that Jessa understood the nuance of that article.  Can you see Benessa having a discussion about this study? "New York University physicists Jérémie Palacci and Paul Chaikin reported that under the right conditions microscopic cubes of hematite partially covered by spherical polymer coats would defy the thermodynamics of random motion and repeatedly draw themselves together. To achieve this, the particles had to be placed in a bath of hydrogen peroxide exposed to blue light. The correct wavelength of light catalyzes a chemical reaction between the exposed bit of hematite and the peroxide, generating electricity that ultimately drew the particles together."

I'm pretty sure that Jessa doesn't understand half of the words in that quote.

That might limit her to near-muteness, however. She doesn't seem to know a rose from a daisy, or the names of either, for example.

Article summary: "Life had to be breathed into matter by God, just as the Bible says. It couldn't have arisen from nonliving matter the way these scientists are theorizing that it may have. Because it couldn't. It just couldn't. That's why. So stop asking."

Um. I think once you've given a particle a partial spherical polymer coat, dunked it in a bath of peroxide and exposed it to blue light, nothing it does past that point speaks to randomness. I seem to recall having discovered something similar using iron filings and a potato in elementary school.

Except nothing is 'given'....all these process can happen on their own, all right next to each other. Having billions of years to happen helps, too.

 

OK mods, lock the thread over the origin of life. Please!

Jessa, stick to your homophobic tweets and pro-life rants, they're much better suited to your educational level. Leave the science stuff to the pros, kay, thanks.

Actually, I'd rather her actually try and understand science stuff, i want her to lost more things like this, because at least she's skimming through it. If she skims through enough, she might actually retain something. We all start somewhere, and she got screwed over from birth.

I'm a science believing athiest, but for $20 million dollars a year, I might be convinced to start saying that Jurassic World was a real time documentary about an unfortunate day at an exotic zoo.

[Micks Picks]

Ah, so the timing of the post is perfect.  Daddy Boob drives the convict home from prison, and he rants and raves a bit at the Duggars, Jesse thinks she has something to back up her predetermined opinion, and posts it.
