I imagine the belt is supposed to be tied a bit tighter so the dress accentuates her figure instead of looking like a green potato sack.

You captured the essence exactly!

 

Was that supposed to be a Fundie fugly dress fashion show? The only one that looks polished is the lovely black woman who has a beautiful white top and simple black skirt=perfection.

 

Edited to add, hey Cher called she wants her fake fur vests back!!!

Someone on Reddit just described Josh’s face as a glistening glazed ham. I am considering divorcing my husband and marrying that poster.

Well, for many of us, it's the difference between 'imperfect' and 'non-PC' and being a criminal.  Josh is a child molester and his parents actively intervened in his situation to avoid him being punis

Sierra is a star! She will hang on as long as she can because she wants her own fundie wedding planning show.

 

Hmm the dress I don't know how I feel about it because Anna is not wearing the belt like the model is. Where does one get money for a MK dress when one doesn't work? I doubt MK gifted it to her as an "ad." 

No lie I would probably watch a fundie wedding show, LOL. Like 4 weddings or bridezillas but with fundies.

I love wedding stuff. 

 

Anna must have bought that dress in the largest size they had to make it modest....it should fit snug and the waist is hanging off of her.

It's not available anymore, so she probably bought it at an outlet store or at a clearance sale. It was $225 RRP, but Michael Kors recently settled a class action against him, his recommended retail prices for outlet stuff were inflated to make the actual prices charged look like a good deal.

Ha! Interesting about Kors. I have never understood the fuss. I like his stuff pretty well but it always did seem overpriced. And I have scored a couple of his pieces at TJ Maxx. I digress...

I suppose Anna got it three sizes too big so it would sag past her knees. I need to see a full-length shot. It looks ok on the model.

Or - it's a dress she has owned which no longer fits her due to her recent weight loss.

It's probably one of those Michael Kors they have in the designer section at TJ's or Marshalls. I must say, I'm a little surprised though. Even though those clothes are heavily discounted, they're still not super cheap.

Anna really should have worn a shaper and tied the belt properly. The dress is actually cute on the models. I also note both models are wearing nude heels, not clunky ankle boots.

She could have removed the belt altogether if she isn't going to tighten it. But props to her for not wearing a maxi skirt like some of the others in that pic. I think she also had the right idea with the boots. wear black tights and black ankle boots, lose the belt to wear the dress like a shift, and she would look conservativley fashionable. I'm guessing it is cool weather from the jackets and vests. It's good that she is giving things a whirl. Fashion is experiment,  you win and fail. You go girl. I'm not a big Anna fan, since she has seen the worst and insists on keeping the m and m's in that mess, but maybe just testing the waters on clothing is where she needs to start.

Let me see if I understand this ... when you are pregnant it is okay to wear trendy, skin-tight clothes that show off every bump and curve.  But when you are without child, you have to walk around in clothes that are three sizes too big and look like you found them on the floor underneath a Marshall's clearance rack?

 

Ok, just checking.

See it's something like this: God is the giver of all pregnancy, his reward, to it's OK to show it off because he's the one that did it.  Now if you're not pregnant you're just a piece of bait for all of those men who want to try and get you pregnant so you've got to cover up lest someone get defrauded by your unpregnant beauty.

How can Anna and Josh stay at TTH if he is going to be imprisoned? I think Josh should do the redemption tour. It's all an act IMO, so I think he could go mainstream Christian-sinner finds redemption. Expose Gothardism a tiny bit, maybe point the finger at it to shift blame, and shake JB off, take all the measly profits to invest in a fourplex or something so he and Anna can stay in their gawdly shackles. Anna gets to stay martyred. Josh gets an income and separation from his overlord. I just don't see Josh accepting a position of submission :), for any length of time. Josh has more personality than his idiot bil Bin, and more alpha in him than Derick. He is being insulted, (called out) by his family. I dunno, I think he should turn the tables. For our entertainment anyway.

Considering the pickin's, I'd be hoping for a virgin birth too.

Yikes! I didn't realize that was the plotline for War Room. I just knew it was the latest fundie offering, likely a Kendrick Brothers (of Fireproof fame) production.

I didn't either. My fiance and I were actually going to rent it the other night, but chose something else. Reading the plotline, I don't plan on watching it.

OF COURSE he will. Surely, he has heard nothing different in Jesus Jail. Plus, there's $ in religion, esp fundie sheep religion. Baa Baaa!

Yep, have seen this play out, too, way too many times. AND if you are a fundie, you earn those bonus morality points for staying sweet and true to your 'til death do us part' vows.

Welcome to the real world, Duggars. So many people are faced with just this scenario, and yet find a way to work it out. What about the Duggars make them so special as to be spared this harsh reality?

Sadly, Anna is neither the first nor last to have to deal with just this type of ugly reality. Others find a way, so can Anna, except it's highly doubtful she wants to venture outside her cocoon of fundie delusion.

That's an adorable picture. I gotta say just looking at it makes me think I would have had a laundry room break down too. Not to defend the ever so catch me a blessing Michelle, but wow she had her hands full.

A lot of us would have had that breakdown, I think. But most of us wouldn't have gone on in quick succession to have 15 more. What in the hell would possess you? Seriously.

I do not feel sorry for her - SHE chose this exact route and is so prideful about 'letting God decide the size of her family'.

Not only that, when the going got tough she transferred responsibility to kids in elementary school. I wonder if that's why Anna wants a few more..she has 2 girls now, in a few years the eldest m & m can take over. Although she does seem more hands on before the scandal, I wonder if living with the family means the m&m kids are in in 'school' with the new tutor, and the little girls are taking over child care.

A few years? Mack is almost the same age Jana was when she 'became a mother' to her siblings. THAT shows you for f'd up Michelle is. "OK, 10-yo Jana, Mama and Daddy are going on date night, run the house, oh and am I cycling today? Check the calendar. Daddy wants to try for a blessing when we get back."

I recently watched 14 Kids and Moving into a Death Trap or whatever the first show was, on YouTube.  Young (and shockingly slim) Joshy narrating nauseatingly for the camera. I wanted to reach through the screen and throttle Josh when I heard him narrate in a cheerful, sing-songy voice: "Poor Jessa! She's in charge of the laundry." 

 

Cut to a shot of the laundry room, and little Jessa throwing around some huge sacks of laundry in it.

 

The laundry room, where we know Josh attacked one of his victims.

 

This show was filmed after that incident.  I didn't think anything Josh, or the rest of the family, did could shock me after everything that's happened but that was one of the most tasteless and upsetting things I've seen them do.

 

Healing from the past, my immodest ass.

At least you don't need a backstory, since they don't even discuss their problems there.

They don't discuss their problems but they do "talk, talk, talk".  Unfortunately all of the talk is about Jesus and the bible.  Oh sure, there are occasional discussions of dog vomit and bondage demonstrations but they absolutely do not talk about their addictions.  That would be opening a door for Satan.

So, Josh said in those early TV shows, that it was Jessa who was in charge of the laundry??? What happened to that "nice piano teacher" who did their laundry "twice a week for 12 years"? Then shortly after they were in the TTH, Mary Duggar and her husband moved in and SHE became the laundry lady...I don't ever remember the girls actually in charge of doing the laundry. I really believe those Duggar parents are full of baloney and "remember things" to suit themselves.
