Derick Dillard @derick4Him·3h

"A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, & poverty will come upon you like a robber..." (Proverbs 6:10-11a)   Hmmm, Derick, all you do is rest in your free McMansion with pool.

If I had twitter, I would tweet back:

"Just to clarify, we are to do as you say not as you do?" 

Fuckin asshole

I think the "darkness" stuff is pretty standard Fundamentalist Speak. There are some people at my church who might be inclined to pray before a week of Vacation Bible School that  God will overcome the power of Satan in our grade-schoolers' lives.

Agreed, "darkness" used in this context means "any state of living in and as a heathen non-Christian" (not getting more specific in research than that; just pointing out it's actually a recurring theme/quote throughout the Bible as follows):

Matthew 4:16


the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned."

Luke 1:79
to shine on those who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace."

Luke 2:32
a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel."

Ephesians 5:8
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

Isaiah 50:10
Who is among you that fears the LORD, That obeys the voice of His servant, That walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD and rely on his God.

Isaiah 60:19
"No longer will you have the sun for light by day, Nor for brightness will the moon give you light; But you will have the LORD for an everlasting light, And your God for your glory.

Micah 7:8
Do not rejoice over me, O my enemy. Though I fall I will rise; Though I dwell in darkness, the LORD is a light for me.

It's been a long time since I cracked open a bible, but iirc, yes for pretty much everything except the 4 gospels.

I dunno, I feel there's some variance, considering some books are poetry, some books are history (the history of Jewish persecution by the Egyptians may not be cheerful, but it is what it is); and some books are prophecy, which is mysterious and gnostic in nature as often as it makes dire proclamations.  Also, a lot of it is in the eye of the beholder; when David is quoted saying something like: "The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”; it may sound dire and hostile to the nonbeliever (and especially if you suspected you were counted amongst the enemies); but if you were a believer you'd probably be delighted at an implication that as a righteous person you'll eventually stand on the backs of your enemies (lol).

You could be right, I don't remember because that was such a cringe worthy moment I think I blocked it out...the guy singing, the two of them standing there awkwardly, whichever chaperone was on duty that day....

I think she had her ladies in waiting (Jana and Joy) that day. I remember the table for four TOTALLY filled.

Maybe I just need more coffee, but I can't seem to find the pic you all were mentioning, where Michelle's hair is straighter than usual. Can someone tell me what post # it is? Thx!

It's probably the one in this Instagram post. It's more than one picture, so you have to click on the right side of it to see the next one

I may have read this in a different way because of Josh. I guess Derick didn't.

That is so wrong, we need a new word for how wrong that is.

Does he possess a modicum of the self-awareness necessary to understand that the things he tweets are just all kinds of wrong and/or incredibly hypocritical?  I mean, I know he has a brain and some experience living life in the non-Duggar insulated bubble world, so WTF is wrong with him?!

Derick always throws quotes on twitter with nothing in his own words. I don't really get the point.

 

I think if he smoked a joint before he posted it would make more sense.  Actually, since he looks so skinny & sickly, maybe medical marijuana might be helpful for him.  I think Jill might find some benefits from it too.

Duggars on Drugs. Now that would make a better show!

I'm sorry to say that I think we can safely conclude that anybody who's now been a Duggar as long as he has has now completely squelched all awareness of hypocrisy, even if they had any in the first place. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure you'd just run screaming out of there. .... Duggarland is an inexhaustible mine of cognitive dissonance and it never improves, as far as I can tell. 

I don't know whether Derick had any such awareness ever. We've only see him as a Duggar adjacent. But when I look at him -- and at Bin and Jer as well -- it's quite clear that none of them has any of it now, at least when it comes to the "religious statements" they make in various forms. I've never seen a single thing "preached" by any one of them that wasn't massively hypocritical when you look at the Duggar kingdom and, often, at the individual preacher himself.

And honestly I doubt that any of the three guys would actually be happy if he knew he came across as a big fat eternal hypocrite. I truly think that they all see themselves as earnest honest preachers. And in that regard they actually do "mean well." But really they're just hypocritical horrors. What I can't figure out is why anybody sees them otherwise. And yet they do have fans. It makes more sense to me that they're either just dumb or else in massive denial (I think it's more the latter with Der and Jer and more the former with Bin, although I expect it's a bit of both with all three) than that other people could take their spoutings at face value.

There was a post in another thread (can't remember which one), but it had a link to a woman saying sorry to a daughter. In that apology she mentioned something about the daughter being taught something along the lines of 'it is for others not for us'. I think these types of statements really separate zealots like the Dullards from everyone else. You are either doing exactly this, with no free will, or you are against us. Us against them. That 'darkness' word is another simple word, that really separates THEM from OTHERS. I'm sure language is used all the time with this group to keep that barrier up. 

Thing is, maybe it would be more effective to pull the barrier down if you want to drag people over. It worked for the Christians who took over pagan holidays and made them their own. :)

I have today in the baby pool.

You might have won. Birthdays are their one and only secret.

Hmm... infant car seat.

Yes, but not necessarily his. The pete shirt saddens me more. Jill will lose it if he goes to regular boy scouts instead of ALERT. She'll never permit him to be educated enough to attend OSU.

I'm hoping Izzy was just having fun and they're not actually using that as a car seat for him.

I was wondering if its Samuel's and Izzy was having fun. Thinking maybe they brought the baby home from the hospital in it.

The caption on that photo of Izzy in the infant car seat on Derick's Instagram was something like "Israel is REALLY ready for his little brother." Sounds like they had the car seat out to get it ready for the baby and Iz played in it.

Maybe he thought he would warm it up/season it for him, lol.  I can imagine a toddler thinking that, though I could be delusional, not ever having had one.

While I believe Jill has no idea exactly when her due date is, that baby is just getting larger and larger by the minute.   Is she really dumb enough not to be concerned that it's going to be extremely rough on both her AND Samuel?   No sense of self-preservation telling her to get to a real OB to get checked out?   Derrick can't even figure out what is going on with his face, so I don't expect him to demand medical care for her.   Frustrates me that NO ONE in her family seems the slightest bit concerned about this situation.   Fucknuts, the lot of them.

My money is on the baby coming this weekend.  If not, it looks to be a very rough and possibly tragic road.

At this point, the 8th of July, I'd like to see a good profile photo of Jill...how large is she? Doesn't she need to take ANY caution about her uterus ripping if stretched too far after a C-section? Don't know, as I never had one of those. I'm with you guys, if this baby isn't born by tomorrow afternoon, she should get herself checked out by a real ob/gyn. These people have been incredibly lucky so far, but even with the most holy of us, LUCK DOES RUN OUT sooner or later.
