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

The Duggars post about politics on social media frequently, but these social media posts are not an invitation to discuss politics here in this forum. This rule extends to Duggar adjacent families, friends, associates etc. Such discussions are a violation of the Politics Policy. 

I understand with recent current events there may be a desire to discuss certain social media postings of those in the Duggar realm as they relate to politics- this is not the place for those discussions. If you believe someone has violated forum rules, report them, do not respond or engage.

Gothard and company take it to an extreme, but women have been getting this message for years, Even now, schools use the excuse that their dress codes are because certain clothes for girls distract boys in the classroom, but they don't say boys clothing is distracting for girls. What Gothard depicts as eye traps surely would be approved in any school setting, and almost anywhere else for that matter, but males blaming females for their sexual excitement is as old as dirt.

Oh, to be sure, but does it really matter what the woman wears (by which I mean, some men will ogle anything, and aren't posed by the likes of a chador)?  Hell, I lived in a neighborhood in Brooklyn for multiple years when it was all I could afford, where I was ready to look into breastbinding about weekly.  I never wore a skirt since the day I viewed the apartment and was catcalled mercilessly; never wore pants higher than mid-calf; and I'd have worn a windbreaker or hoodie every day until winter coats came back around, including the dog days of August, if I thought I could get away with it and not die of heatstroke.  

However, the difference is, these particular men are *supposed to be* Christian, and high-minded, and somewhat above it.  Their goal isn't supposed to be to get their leg over.  They have an actual incentive to tamp their excitement down and especially in situations where it's not appropriate, which would be "a lot of them, unless they're in an actual relationship or pending relationship with the woman"; but they're clearly not.

They're on a network that used to broadcast a show about how sex sent people to the emergency room and a man with four wives. It's all about the Benjamins...

Funnily enough, one of our Women's TV Channel shows Fixer Upper, so I've watched a few episode, since I love stuff like that. I don't particularly like the Gaineses though - he is childish and she is pushy.  I hope I don't offend any of you US lot, but goodness, american houses seem so flimsy. Ours are built of stone and mortar and bricks and can't just be done up that quickly. The way they just rip out anything is astounding.

Waco brings up memories of that horrible shoot out.........but it does look quite green and pleasant.

But buying such a crappy Tshirt is just....well.......the design draws attention to her bazookas. Which is fine really, if that's what she wants, but then, please do not blather on about modesty Madam! You are not modest.

On Sixx ? I love that show , especially in  combination with that other home flipping show (Tarek and Christina ) which usually starts with him saying the house in question only  needs a few repairs and then it's a full on termite infestation followed by lead paint disposal.

Yes! How do you know? Are you in Germany? It was by fluke I saw it but I got interested after reading about them. I actually googled a bit about their beliefs.

I really don't like evangelicals like them. They are smug and seem to think that only good things must happen to them.

That's how the evangelicals roll.  If something bad happens to them they are being "tested".  If bad things happen to others (liberals, feminists, gays) they are being "punished".

What is the problem with #2?  All I can see is that the model has a short stylish bob hairdo.  That's probably taboo in Gothard land.

The pattern on #6's legs looks like she hasn't shaved her legs in a while.

For #6 I was thinking severe psoriasis?

She was rollerskating backwards after baby 18 or so, and works out daily - on an elpitical. I'm sure she has osteoporosis, but it won't mess her up for a few more years yet. She's avoided stress for the past 20 years by letting her kids raise themselves, too. She eats reasonably healthy, better than the slop the kids get. All that said, her day of health reckoning is coming.

She spares no expense, on herself.

Probably had a stipulation that Randy couldn't come within 50 yards of the Duggars either. 'Cause Randy would have found a dress that would have worked and not needed butchering!

Plus the evil gayness, plus dude actually knows how to dress stylishly, plus he has actual warmth and tact and genuine concern for people's bridal-related needs.

Speaking of Flame, he liked one of my IG posts! He's rooting for the Cavs. I am not, but he took my prediction in stride (and it may pan out tomorrow - still Sunday on the left coast - night). 

Flame's the most chill of them all. Of course, he was only raised in crippling poverty around gangs, not a "loving Christian family."

Now, let's get this one thing straight here, folks. The Duggar/Seewald/Dillard/Vuolo family should be taking money from the heathen TLC network and those heathen secular magazines because it gives them the opportunity to take money that's attached to sin and 'cleanse it" in their own hands. They will do Godly things with it, thus making it holy money for their personal use.

You know, when the Howler Monkeys were all little boys, from age 1 on, they all had clean-cut, shaved around the ears, back-combed, gelled and hairsprayed 1950's hair.  To be a good testimont to the lord, I'm sure!

I do wonder just how long Jessa will let Spurgeon grow his absolutely gorgeous curls.  Will she let him grow them to age 8 or later?

Got an idea for the Seewalds: pretend that Spurgeon has taken Nazirite vows like Samson. Presto, no haircuts!

I remember that and wasn't Jessa supposedly the one who was the family barber? Jill did a much better job when she scrapped Derick's man bun.

I really wish that Jessa could take a hike down to the local community college and study cosmetology. She wouldn't have to practice full time (gasp!) but I'm sure TLC would install a chair with the basics in her home somewhere, and she could do hair for fundies by request, as well as fundie weddings and events like that. Even if she just did it for friends, that would be a way to supplement ben's non-existent income without having to leave home! Geez, it annoys me that they can't see how many opportunities exist for them that would even be gothard approved!

Jessa and Ben could make a fortune by getting on the merchandising train like the Kardashians.  They could put out  Jessa makeup kits, Jessa hair scrunchees, Jessa paperdolls, etc.  They're sitting on a potential gold mine and letting it go to waste.  I guess since they've probably never heard of the Kardashians or how they got rich, it never occurred to them to go that route.

They have a lot of young followers.  Whereas a non-Christian 12- or 13-year old would be too old for something like that, I'm sure Jessa's young fundy followers would love it.

I know that's what started it for Kim, but I think Jessa could skip over that and go straight to the lip gloss.  :-)

Looks like Benessa had to fly commercial to Ben's speaking engagement today (and left the kids behind, hence the pic of Henry with Boob yesterday). Boob must have flown home early; JD was already there to make sure the Howlers didn't sin. What a boring week for him! It's not as if he could coach.

At any rate, the  Duggar plane is currently enrolled route to TN, presumably to drop off some of the Bateses who also attended the basketball camp in Ft. Wayne.

If Marjorie can find an audience for her devotionals, Jessa and the other Duggar girls could certainly do so. This is why the girls need to ditch Jim Bob and get a real agent. I'm sure Kirk Cameron could point them to a Godly Christian agent who would help them cash in on their current fame.

They might not earn nearly as well as Marjorie, though, since they'd have to hire both a ghostwriter and a ghost (or even a credited) artist. You don't make that much from books, but you sure make more if you can do the writing and illustrating to a professional level yourself. Marjorie can. No way the Duggars can. And they already have experience with the fairly limited cash you get with book earnings and the fact that you do have to skim at least a little off the top of that for your ghosts and illustrators. I'd be surprised if that's not near the very bottom of the list of "moneymakers to try" at this point.
