Ugh, Man Camp. I shudder.

It's not that I have a problem with the guys in a family hanging out or the girls having a night out. I shudder when thinking of what they're being taught because they're males and what manly interpretation of "God's Word" they're hearing.

I shudder.

As a former fundie, I share your shudder and shed a tear

Anna Duggar was a big fan of the movie War Room. I'm seeing ads for a movie called Overcomer, which is made by the makers of War Room. 

I went to the movies last week.  Saw Yesterday (excellent) and The Art of Racing in the Rain (pretty good, book was a lot better).  Saw a preview for Overcomer and it is clearly in the same vein as Fireproof and War Room.  The trailer is typical inspirational movie stuff.  Guy is a high school coach who for whatever reason, can't coach the team sport he loves and is instead made track coach, which is a sport he hates.  Only one kid, a young black girl tries out for the team.  Through prayer and God, everything works out in the end.  Everybody finds the Lord and is happy ever after. Yadda, yadda.

I can see why Anna likes these kinds of movies, aside from the fact they are probably the only ones she ever sees.  In them, the godly ones who read the Bible, pray and follow the Lord's will end up living happily ever after because of their faith.  I imagine that's the only way she can continue on being married to Josh, she expects that same happy ending for herself.  I think she's delusional.

The Christian film industry is booming, if my the cinema in my smallish Southern city is any indication. As often as not, one of our twelve screens is occupied by something that looks decidedly inspirational. (My husband and I inevitably run into church friends in the lobby, and the convo usually goes like this: THEM: "Oh, did you see Overcomer?" US: "Nah, we saw Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood. We're more, um, Tarantino people.") If Anna wants to seem cool by recommending "mainstream" movies--almost as if she's, you know, culturally literate--she's got a lot of mediocre Christian films to choose from.

I buy these movies for my library and they stay checked out for at least 1-2 months once they come in.  I have no idea which ones to buy, so I just go with the ones that make me gag the least when reading the descriptions.  I will never watch any of these movies for a variety of reasons, but I do have to give the taxpayers what they want.  The only hard no's for me have been Gosnell and Unplanned--there is a difference between inspirational films and propaganda.

I am FB friends with a Christian author and she saw Once Upon a Time..... she also watches very non-Christian TV like Walking Dead. I don't watch inspirational films, I find most of them are pretty crappy, lousy acting, boring and heavy handed.

I never comment specifically on the little ones,  but as a former teacher ..... what is wrong with her?  Other than a video of her singing the SSpB, which I have never listened to and may or may not indicate a savant talent.... it appears she is a lost soul.  Academically,  she may be properly placed by hanging with her nieces and nephews and as far away from mom as possible.😡

Looks like it's been taken down, whatever it was.

It was Anna posting about their (Duggar) Monday "Family Night". They celebrated Mason's 2nd birthday & the Swanson's anniversary.  Smugs & Anna made steak fajitas.  By the looks of the fajita picture, it was held at the TTH. Austin enlightened them about the Bahama trip and Joe & Kendra were missed cuz they were away. There was a picture of Dwayne/Dwight & Lana playing the Newlywed Game. Think that sums it up.

It is odd that she removed the picture of Dwain and Lana. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yeah, I checked her IG and only saw the pic with Mason and one with what I assume were the steak fajitas. Anna's post seems to have remained intact.

Does the Fundie Newylwed Game include questions about making whoopie?  I am curious about this, I know that some of them have no problem dry-humping on a minigolf course in front of their own children and TV cameras. Do they talk about sex as well?  What euphemisms do they use?

Lester the molester and momsy Anna do sweet friend hugging and wrestling in exchange for a nice big roast beef hoagie with all the trimmings.

Because you see kids Lester the molester should be in jail instead of making more babies that he doesn’t want! And momsy is brain washed to know any better!
