Barb23 June 25, 2015 Share June 25, 2015 Ha, love it! Too bad she's never been allowed to watch the episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents where the demure little housewife bashes her husband's head in with a frozen leg of lamb and then cooks and serves it to the detectives investigating his murder. OMG, that is one of my favorite Alfred Hitchcock episodes & about the only one I remember. Even my mom references it every now & then. Now we just have to decide what food Anna could use as a weapon...... Link to comment

Hitchcock fans will see numerous familiar stories in that series. Now back OT... I'm pretty sure Anna uses ALL food as a weapon. "Want thirds? Here let me pour some more gravy on that!".

GEML June 25, 2015 Share June 25, 2015 I think Josh leaving will have a lot to do with how Anna feels. I'm not sure how she will feel about staying in AR, and I think she believes in Josh more than anyone. I think she's very protective of him. (The video I saw was not an adoring Anna- it was protective Anna.) Anna is the one with the best connections within their religion. It may end up that they stay within the Gothard world while leaving the Duggar circle, which has been drifting from Gothardism somewhat. Link to comment
6 MeowMeowBeenz June 25, 2015 Share June 25, 2015 I don't remember holding my belly the nonstop while I was pregnant. You probably didn't see being pregnant as the crowning achievement of your life and the only thing of value you as a woman can produce. And also that being pregnant enhanced your husband's manly standing in the community, which you as a submissive wife are duty bound to support 24 Link to comment

silverspoons June 26, 2015 Share June 26, 2015 And I'm guessing Josh is fuming because HE should be the one ranting on Twitter. I have seen Tony rant before but I always thought Josh just posted a picture or made brief short statements on the controversial topics from FRC. Josh never seemed like someone who could skillfully debate a topic or even spit out more then a few prewritten lines about an issue. The few times I tried to listen to his radio show with call in guests, he wasn't comfortable with coming up with quick responses to hot button topics. I still think he didn't mean to say his Aunt was against gay marriage on his radio show but he was like a deer in the headlights and couldn't come up with the right words. 3 Link to comment
Julia June 26, 2015 Share June 26, 2015 Wasn't it "special rights" his aunt was supposed to be against? I wonder what he thinks that means. It's not as if straight people can't have same sex marriages now too. 5 Link to comment
Popular Post parisprincess June 26, 2015 Popular Post Share June 26, 2015 Special rights? Giving gays the right to marry is not a “special” right. It is a right that they are entitled to, the same that anyone else, including the Duggar tribe, is entitled to. 25 Link to comment

Julia June 27, 2015 Share June 27, 2015 "Special rights" has been an anti-gay rights term of art with the FRC for a while now. Fox also uses it a lot. The words reframe the debate to suggest that LGTBQ folks are are asking for special privileges straight folks don't get, but it doesn't actually refer to anything real, as near as I can tell. I'm sure it was on the list of talking points Josh was given when he started his job. Which is why I wondered what he thinks it means. Does he actually believe that gay folks have some form of privilege that he as an affluent heterosexual christian white male television star doesn't have? Or is it just one of those jackbooted octopus of fascism* political discourse things that sounds like it means something and doesn't. *see: Politics and the English Language, George Orwell 22 Link to comment

Julia June 27, 2015 Share June 27, 2015 Well, Josh clearly toes the family line on the world being divided into pairs of greater beings with penii and lesser beings into which penii are inserted at will. Under the circumstances, you can see why the concept of two or no penii in a relationship, or the even scarier concept that someone might perceive him as a potential insertee from whom consent can be implied by promiscuous knee showing, would break his brain some. 19 Link to comment

louannems June 27, 2015 Share June 27, 2015 Don't they haul everybody along on those things, even the littles? Or does even JB's ginormous "Look at ALL of US!!" traveling circus get shut down by the organization that's hosting/sponsoring their visit, to the extent of minimum age requirements? Because, for JB and Michelle, the whole point of ANY appearance is to hammer home the point of their fabulous fecundity. It's hard to do that if they have to leave some of their loinfruit behind. Same for grandkids, IMO. I watched an episode where all the Bigs were on a mission trip and poor Mitchelle was home alone with the littles. She could not handle her own kids without the sistermoms and had to call in mother's helpers. IIRC, the unmarried Princilla came to stay. 4 Link to comment
kokapetl June 27, 2015 Share June 27, 2015 Last mission trip included Jackson, who they either felt was mature enough to go on one, or the mission trip would make him mature. They're largely all as useful in Guatemala, as Jackson is in Arkansas. 6 Link to comment

Thankfully, I missed that episode. Or, maybe I blocked it from my memory. If so, that is just nasty and repulsive. I would shoot myself in the foot before I allowed someone to clean my bathroom (aside from someone I hired to do it). I wonder if she had to go pick up the dirty underwear in Jimchelle's bedroom as well? Okay- i definitely feel sick now. 2 Link to comment

I don't recall Josh/Anna ever going on these trips, but in all fairness, the Duggars didn't hook up with SOS until around 2009 or so. Josh had already ostensibly left and cleaved (although we all now know that didn't really happen). At any rate, I don't recall either him or JD going on these candy, nail painting, fertility bragging missions. 1 Link to comment
