No, I bet they are like the ridiculous church my husband grew up in (and ditched as soon as he could). If someone dies, you are supposed to be thrilled that they've gone to heaven. When my BIL died (young, from cancer), the funeral was infuriating. It was like we weren't supposed to grieve. How selfish to miss him when after all, he is in heaven now. We basically got lectured during the funeral. Imagine being made to feel guilty for grieving.  Ugh. 

So much this! When a friend of mine was killed by a drunk driver, the funeral was an hour of "Isn't it great? Lisa gets to spend Christmas with Jesus!" I was so horrified I skipped the interment.

I really thought, after her tweet about the flesh failing, that she was having difficulty getting pregnant or having a miscarriage.   

What a STRANGE tweet for a newly pregnant woman. 

I have had many miscarriages and that sounds like a miscarriage Bible verse if I ever heard one.  So bizarre.

I find Jill and Derick to be the strangest couple.  I  understand Jessa and Ben, even if I don't like them but their motives and actions make sense, generally speaking.  I think Jinger and Jeremy also make sense.   Jill and Derick?  Those two are so weird! You cannot figure them out at all.  It's like whatever they do, there is some psycho clown music playing in the background...they kinda scare me a bit.  They are so young to be so odd. What will they be like in 20 years???

They really are. Even by fundie standards, they're weird.  The rest of the kidults seem to have enough social awareness to hide/gloss over/justify their strangest qualities, but Derick and Jill are out and proud. JB clearly knows his children well and when he got to know Derick who knew right off that he'd be perfect for Jill.

These kind of comments are not unusual.  When my daughter died I heard all kinds of things- "she's with Jesus, she's with the angels, God needed another angel, she's in heaven..." and no we are not a religious family.  We had a wake at home.  No funeral.

People do not know what to say.

[Ljohnson1987]

Jilly needs to realize that it's no shock that she's pregnant. She and Derick don't use birth control. It's bound to happen. Guess that's not taught at the SOTDRT.

I have missed you Jellybeans!

Yes, people say the stupidest things that are actually hurtful. Maybe just say that you're so sorry for the tremendous loss?  Nope...

Back to fundieville, about 2 weeks after my mom died, I was still wearing black (I'm old school, I guess) and clearly looked like I'd been through a train wreck.  Minister said "a real Christian would be joyful her mom is in heaven, not grieving like this"

THAT was my last time in a IFB church. 

[Jellybeans]

I am around.  I read more here than I post.  :-)

My family has not seen the inside of a church since I was a teenager and I am now 62.  People seem to associate loss with heaven.  I still get comments like that.  I accept they mean well.  Code for "they did not know what to say".

Jill pregnant.  Bound to happen.  Hope it is the last baby. LOL.

Why "tons" of pregnancy tests?

I know, right? It's like they don't know that a late period is usually a good indicator of pregnancy. Why not wait until a period is late or missed and take a pregnancy test then? I suspect they take the test immediately after each, umm, session.

"Congrats" from the Seewalds

[Jenniferbug]

Not to defend Jill, but they're really not announcing that early. My daughter was born in early July and we announced at Christmas. I was past the 12 week mark by then (I think I was 14 or 15 weeks along) which is when you are less likely to miscarry. I don't know when in July their baby is due, but I'm guessing she's close to 12 weeks along, give or take.

When I saw the announcement, I was actually surprised they waited so long to announce.

Same old stuff - they can barely put two sentences together. Why can't they just congratulate them in person?  

[saylubee]

I wonder if Jill thought she was having twins, then an ultrasound only revealed one baby.  That would make the miscarriage-implying tweets and a pregnancy both true.  Unless Jill is determined to have this baby under the table with herself as the primary caregiver, few real midwives are going to treat her after a C-section without some kind of regular OB care.

Now we really know WHY the donate button got bigger. lol Derick isn't going back to corporate America because of his clingy wife and his baby sitting duties, so the donate button will have to do until they can find a more profitable grifting opportunity.

So the Dillards are here for another year?

It makes some sense to me, only because last time they announced it when Jill's period was like 3 hours late, and then she had to deal with weeks of "OMG YOU'RE STILL PREGNANT!" near the end.  Waiting has the advantage of the pregnancy not feeling like it's taking forever to outsiders, so less annoying comments/hundred page threads on message boards.

When I saw the teaser that another Duggar baby was on the way, I immediately thought it was about her.

[lascuba]

Guys, stop saying that the Duggars will never adopt. They'll take that as a dare and next thing we know they'll be emptying out Danger American orphanages.

In all seriousness, there is no shortage of shady adoption agencies, especially the Christian ones specializing in international adoptions that the Duggars would use. They could adopt relatively easily if they wanted to.

[Marigold]

So Jilly got pregnant in October?  

Were they in the US or DA? 

And why the comment about all the pregnancy tests?  I'm totally lost.  Jill speaks like an 11 year old.

Lord, she can't even handle one kid and now she's having another? Congrats, Jill. You've kept up with Jessa and given yourself an excuse to never return to Danger America. Children are truly a blessing indeed.

 I did consider the fact that she was possibly pregnant. However, I thought that she was further along, because they would have had to have made arrangements to go to Danger America sooner. well, now they have their excuse not to go back there for at least another year. If ever.

Did you announce to People magazine though? I feel like telling family and friends is a little different.

if she's due July 1st then she is 12 weeks and 3 days pregnant.  I just think it wouldn't hurt anyone to wait a little longer.

 I posted a link about the Central America video yesterday. Now it makes sense. They never plan on going back. It was their "hasta la vista Danger America"  magnus opus.

HEE!!! 

Hey now I beginning to think we've been too hard on them.  When we find out that they are naming there baby "DONATE,"  we'll fel bad. Here, they were just trying to tell us baby Donate was coming via their website, and we were thinking they were grifters that don't want to work!

Maybe all the twins talk from Jessa was really about Jill and now Jill only has one. Would explain the recent odd postings from scripture. Do I think this happened? No, they're just odd.

[Oldernowiser]

That mustardy gold tired wrinkled semi-velour sweatshirt Jilly is wearing in that DIY pregnancy announcement photo is the saddest looking thing I've ever seen a Duggar wear and that's saying something.

Then I saw that second photo with his JesusDo and her pawing his crotch and damned if it's not even worse.

[lascuba]

I'm wondering if all the weird postings of late mean that Jill suffered one or more early miscarriages and was freaking out over it happening again.

Aw hell,  my husband and I rocked grunge so much better than this in 1993. We could probably do better now.  Good God I even bought my husband a flannel shirt for Christmas. He needed one. As for me, if I ever dress like Jill, shoot me.

Poor Jill. She's not a bad looking girl, but she has to be one of the most unphotogenic people I've ever seen in my life. All Derick  needs is the requisite black Doc Martens to complete his early 90s Straight Outta Seattle grunge look.

I've been computer-less for 3 days, so catching up:

Cathy's nativity set up looked weird to me...why is there a really large candle between the wise men and the crèche?  The kiss pic looks fine to me, upper lip between the others lips -nothing odd about that. Better than a sloppy one.  Thought Cathy's stocking were cute, and Iz looked adorbs in the family pic.

I'm pretty sure the teeny baby pics are the unfortunate Miscarriage Michelle had, they talked about the pics in the episode, and I think might have even had some video of them being taken.

In the CA video, I didn't make it far because I'm at work, but loved the matching shirts on Jill and the random native.

I have to say, I find it a little perplexing everyone losing their minds about Jessa and Jill having second kids.  Think about friends that have more than one kid, and how many of those kids are 18 months-2 1/2 years apart?  Jessa may be a little soon -I'm not sure how far apart Sprug and spurgette are going to be.  I will say, they better be sure to get good health care this time, and I really hope they both go to the hospital.

I like the pic of Jill and Derick with his hair down. They both look relaxed and happy.

The take 'courses' to convince donors to keep up the contributions. Then they hang around Danger America and watch local Spanish speakers do the ministering.
