Hpmec October 12, 2015 Share October 12, 2015 (edited) Regarding the Subway pic. Jill and Derick most likely have no idea that a former Subway spokesperson has a child porn connection. When asked in an interview about her favorite nursery rhyme, Jill couldn't come up with even one. She had no exposure to nursery rhymes. This is a young woman who has lived her life in a fundie bubble - sheltered beyond belief. She no doubt has seen and eaten in Subway, but as for Subway advertising or Subway in the news, forget it. If the two of them were trying for an endorsement deal with that photo, it was simply an unfortunate choice. However, I think it was a cute Izzy moment they just happened to catch.

Fuzzysox October 12, 2015 Share October 12, 2015 Jill and Derick do have a tv. What happened to it and why aren't they watching the news? I couldn't imagine not being able to watch news 24/7 like I do. I always SMH when people say they never watch the news. It's like you never want to know what is going on around you hence why I do think Jill has no clue about Jared and Subway. 5 Link to comment

GeeGolly October 12, 2015 Share October 12, 2015 I don't think the Duggars keep up on the news, and they probably have never heard of SNL. I'm sure they have checked it out by now though, due to the comments. I really think Jill, unlike Jessa, still follows the house rules. She continues to live a life in the Duggar bubble by choice or habit. I think she believes what has been preached - that their being on TV = missionaries, and negative comments and feedback are by the poor and uniformed who she hopes to save. Jessa, I believe loves the attention, 'fame' & money, and if she saves a few - "yeah for me". Like JoanArc, I seldom watch TV news. It is much too sad & negative. I prefer to visit various online sites to catch headlines and fully read what interests me. 4 Link to comment
satrunrose October 12, 2015 Share October 12, 2015 (edited) What I don't understand is why this is the hush, hush, fake going away party, shut down social media blackout event. I mean, Jill's sister is having a baby within the next few weeks and Jill is...technically... able to deliver Baby Brimstone (personally, after the Izzy fiasco the only thing I would trust Jill to deliver is coffee from the starbucks run), so it makes some sense for the Dullards to stick around. Frankly, I don't feel like the Duggar girls are as close as a lot of siblings I know, but since they weren't really allowed to have friends, Jill's all Jessa's got. Why no one is telling them to make a statement that Jill is staying to help her sister and the three of them will be returning to South America on Nov the whatever for 6 months is a huge mystery to me.

kellylovessnark October 12, 2015 Share October 12, 2015 There is a lot of information on the Internet about the tax laws for non-profits. Basically, the directors of a non-profit can't use the funds for their own inurement or for their relatives. For instance, you can't just expense airline tickets because you want to go to someone's wedding. Also, if directors are also employees of the non-profit, they can't receive a disproportionate share of the revenue. The Dillards will have to demonstrate that every penny they spend is for the legitimate work of the ministry. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-tege/eotopicc90.pdf What is at stake for them are fines, penalties, losing non-profit status, and NEVER being allowed to be on the board of directors of a non-profit again. ZIP! End of game. Career Over. It sounds like they would have been better off going with go fund me instead. I don't think you have to pay taxes in that and you are freer with how you spend the money. Link to comment

Poor little guy has looked like Jim Bob since birth, I think. ..But, I suppose, as long as he doesn't grow up to act like Jim Bob, that'll be bearable. Don't grow up to act like Jim Bob, Izzy. Hilarious! And to fundie males, apparently a Stage 5 Clinger is a ginormous turn on. Maybe. But can you really tell that for sure before marriage? Especially when your courting/dating time is pretty short and you aren't living with the person (or anything close to it). I think the jury's out on whether Jill's level of clinginess was something Derick sought or not. They really had little in-depth knowledge of each other. It sounds like they would have been better off going with go fund me instead. I don't think you have to pay taxes in that and you are freer with how you spend the money. With gofundme I think it depends partly on how you intend to use the money. And since they intended to use it for missionaries' salaries, and they're the missionaries, I think it might well be deemed taxable. .... I've heard that gofundme is a tax gray area about which people shouldn't get too comfortable. And on the fact that nonprofit funds can't be used for the "inurement" of people. Well, that really doesn't apply to their nonprofit. "Inurement" means siphoning the money away from the nonprofit and its functions. And since their nonprofit simply consists of two missionaries -- whose salaries are a legitimate expense, and in fact nearly the only legitimate expense of the nonprofit -- putting the money toward the missionary salaries would not be "inurement." Now, an argument could be made that they're paying themselves salaries that are too big and generous and that they're not working enough at the nonprofit to merit salaries of that size. But that's much more of a judgment call and bunch of detailed parsing that IRS is not that likely to get into. Edited October 12, 2015 by Churchhoney 2 Link to comment

Or course, I guess the rest of us tend to think of kids' college funds and money to take care of ourselves in old age. Whereas I guess they don't plan to send their kids to college and will also expect those same kids to stay home and care for them into the grave. So spend spend spend! We also think of all the work we did for our money. ... Not sure what the Duggars think of, since they've just hung around in front of cameras for theirs.

Defrauder October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 I really see a sadistic characteristic in both Derick and Jill. I'm thinking about the cat incident with Derick and the forced dress redo for Jana from Jill. I think that not only do they think that they are all about God but that God is all about them entitling them to money, gifts, fame and treating others however they want to. If I had a young child I wouldn't let them babysit a child of mine for five minutes. They feel they are superior and can treat those they view as not as entitled as they are any way they please. After all it's God who is rewarding them with other peoples money, fame, and gifts because God is so into them and they are better than others.

However, I kind of think it may well have been one of those things that neither would have done if left to his own devices. But there was pretty clearly a bunch of Duggars behind egging them on because they thought it was hilarious to cause feline mayhem. To my disappointment, it sounds to me like Joy who was having the most hilariously sadistic great time at the cat's expense. I wouldn't bet on either Ben or Derick being a driver of the sadism. I haven't seen evidence of that elsewhere with either. But they're followers and hanging around Duggars asks for sadism if you're going to fit in, I think. And Ben and Derick are both very hungry to fit in. To me they're like two sad little eight-year-old boys awkwardly trying to be just like the cool kids... who are jerks.

Vaysh October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 I'm not sure I'd go as far as to calling them sadistic. Hurting animals is evil, but sadism involves an active wish to cause pain as well as taking pleasure in causing pain. The idiotic shenanigans with that poor cat looked more like a bunch of childish morons with no clue and no true capacity for empathy, egging each other on without once thinking about the possible consequences of their "game". I think in this, as in many other Duggar situations, it's the inability to imagine or care about the well-being of other living creatures that was the cause, not a true sadistic compulsion to cause pain. 8 Link to comment

SomePity1066 October 14, 2015 Share October 14, 2015 I feel the same way you do about people who harm animals - evil. I like what you do for fun and if I had a child I'd let you babysit anytime you wanted. Well, c'mon over and sit by me on the Bus to Hell, Defrauder ! They ARE evil - maybe not Hitler/Manson/Bundy evil, but I think they are all missing the empathy/sympathy/kindness/humanity gene despite their "best" efforts to the contrary ! As for the babysitting, thank you for the vote of confidence, but I'm not good with the little ones ! They do that thing where they appear to have become absolutely boneless and slither out of my arms and that makes me nervous. But I'd happily sit for any that are older. Or dogs. Or cats. Or plants. On another front, I was just thinking - the last time I took a vacation, an admittedly selfish, self-absorbed romp on a sunny beach filled with fun, sleep, booze, actual joyful sex, more booze, and stuffing my face with seafood, I think I did more for the locals, their economy, their community, and their charitable concerns than Dill and JillMuffin do on their MISSION trip ! A sponsored, paid-for MISSION trip ! Not humble-bragging here, seriously, but my money went to local businesses and employees, the local library, the local church (nice folks at the PresboLuthiTarianOlic outfit !), the local animal sanctuary, and the local beach preservation group. Sure, I was Queen Hedonism, probably defrauding the Hell out of everyone, but I did more than pour money into a pseudo-religioucation organization (and NOT the actual residents !) that I had surreptitiously jacked from my family, friends, and "fans" in order to perform meaningless skits in front of baffled locals who are probably quite comfortable with whatever religion that have or don't have currently, thank you very much... The more I think about it the angrier I get ! Jill is getting more grifty, more cunning and calculated, and more Michelle-esque pop-eyed to me with every passing minute. Derrick might be, ostensibly, the Headship to her Helpmeet, but I think she's in charge of HIM, JimBoob is in charge of HER, and Meeeechelle is in charge of all of them. Michelle is the breathy-voiced, eyelash-batting Queen Bee of them ALL. And she gave birth to (almost) every one of them ! Meh. Double meh. A pox upon them all... 8 Link to comment

No, you useless otherwise-unemployed spent your life on vacation jackass, you're not doing your wife a favor by helping to care for your son. You're being a parent.

Derick really has no clue, but at least I guess he didn't call his audience horrible sinners like Benessa tend to do, so yay? One common fallacy in this “post-Christian” American movement is that the Bible and Christianity is a passing fad from a culture of yesteryear ...which is why I'm every bit as devoted to the Pope as Ferdinand and Isabella were when they drove the jews out of Spain and stole their money to pay for Columbus' trip, inadvertantly delaying the all-important founding of the state of Israel for centuries while... Anyway, um, gay people in bathrooms! Edited October 14, 2015 by Julia 9 Link to comment

No, seriously, my family is genoese, if anyone gets to own this story in an ignorant, narcissist way it's me. And just, no. 5 Link to comment
GeeGolly October 14, 2015 Share October 14, 2015 I, too am an animal lover, but I would not put catgate in the sadistic category. It was group thinking and stupid. I don't think the Dillards are evil either. Again, stupid, yes, but not even close to evil. When I look at the daily headlines I see a lot of sadistic & evil things. Too me the Dillards fall more into the narrow minded, judgmental, under-educated, & conservative, etc. category. Listening to the Democratic debate in the background, I would love to see the Dillards and the Seewalds have a chat or two with these potential candidates though. 6 Link to comment
SomePity1066 October 14, 2015 Share October 14, 2015 Anyway, um, gay people in bathrooms! Perfect, Julia ! You've captured the inane banality of not just Jill and Derrick but of ALL Duggarspeak !!! Seriously, when they are actually faced with a REAL question (though that doesn't happen often) they slip-slide-away into the cringe-worthily bad, vacuous gibbershit talk of some recent Miss America and Miss USA contestants... So, um, of the Americas for the...important talking with geography, because, uh...purple mountains on amber gravy waves for...the people for to the people who are people. And such of the thing which important to us and those. God bless America !!! Someone tell me I'm not on point here and I'll eat my hat !!! 10 Link to comment
Defrauder October 14, 2015 Share October 14, 2015 I know I won't be watching the cat video. I'm sticking to my analysis of the Duggars & clan as being sadistic. Humans, according to their beliefs are sinners but have redemption and forgiveness for believing in redemption and forgiveness so basically they can do whatever they please and they'll be forgiven for it. They've had pets apparently but they don't get TV time. In 14 kids and pregnant again they had a bag of Shep dog food in the pantry, who knows how long the dog lasted. I don't think the kids are allowed to complain about being treated badly by a sibling if they were the buddy system would collapse like a house of cards so I think the buddies have a lot of power over those they are in charge of. Plus when you are 'trained' to believe that being hit by a rod is for your own good well you're 'trained' to believe that it's pleasing to God to 'train' others as well in the same way. Complaining and being anything but happy is not allowed. I don't buy the TLC fantasy of a happy and caring family and not only that I think that yes many of them are 'trained' to be sadistic although they are taught that it is right and for their own good and it's loving to save someone with the rod from their evil ways. Josh turns into 'the biggest hypocrite EVER', with a heart of Satan, according to his confessions and the Duggar clan can lie about who they are and how they feel because they were 'trained' not to be honest but to always be happy. If they're not honestly happy they have no choice but to be hypocrites. In reality they are being 'trained' to be liars. 2 Link to comment

Read his blog, he's so stupid I can't stand it. Weird how they are more obsessed with the Old Testament than they are with the New Testament. I'm sure that would make Jesus proud. They're so stupid it's unbearable. 6 Link to comment
Mollie October 14, 2015 Share October 14, 2015 "Hey, Aunt Jana. Imma let you finish, but my parents' donors paid for this drink..." Seriously, though. The Dillards have been pictured eating at Subway, P.F. Changs, and Panera just in the last few days. Being a missionary must really work up an appetite! Maybe they are missionaries to fast food workers. 8 Link to comment
