Jill, Derick & the Kids: Moving On!!


Recommended Posts

Quote

Tony C has applied for a permit to turn his Prairie Creek restaurant into a strip club! Calling all prayer warriors! 

I totally read this that we need to pray that Tony gets his strip club! I thought she was lobbying for the strip club!

I could use a good poop. It’s really not too much to ask.

I pray Jesus turns your water into prune juice, because that will help! Like he did in the bible! Didn't one of Duggars/Duggar adjacents say that?

Maybe Cathy is afraid that Derick & Josh are going to mosey on down to the strip club and she wants to nip this in the bud?

She tagged Dan, whose wife wears shorts as short as Hooters girls. She's also worn spaghetti strap tanks, etc. Hooters girls have worn more than I've seen Deena in at times.

Same here! Actually, I've seen it so much that my first thought on seeing Lianau's post was that it had been misspelled yet again - followed immediately by, "Aaargh! I'm the one who is forgetting how to spell now!". Even though I've never in my life had a problem with spelling, I find myself so often nowadays having to stop and actually remind myself of which spelling is correct when it comes to many of the really common errors just because I've seen them so often since the internet came along that my brain seems to have somehow filed them under a new "normal".

This happens all the time and it makes me feel old! It happens with other things too, like when earlier this week I had to present an impromptu explanation to my 21 year old coworker about how “yes, the phrase IS ‘down to brass tacks’, and here’s why!” ??‍♀️

Another oldster here.  I've seen "towing" misused in place of "toeing" so often that it hardly raises my blood pressure any more.  (Well, maybe a few points.)  My persistent gripes are incorrect uses of rain/rein/reign, affect/effect and rout/route. 

Did we even know what the phrase "new normal" meant a year ago?

Also internet people are always talking about "loosing" weight.

I once saw someone - on a dating site no less - who had screennamed themselves "usernameoutofchooses", and it, er, didn't seem from the rest of their posts, that they had done so ironically. 

Me:  "No no no.  We are not going to make "chooses" interchangeable with "choices"!  I WILL have a tantrum!"

Cathy's son could learn a thing or two from those ladies working at the strip club--they are gainfully employed and bringing home a legitimate paycheck, unlike useless Derp.

Did I ever tell you how much I like your post.

Speaking of strip clubs...I remember when one open in Helena in the 1990's. Rumors were floating around ladies of the evening were also working there. It made a big stink. I think even Oprah had an episode about it on television her talk show, and of course it made national and international headlines. People were out protesting, and I remember Boy Scouts members out protesting also (yes young children were protesting, sounds familiar Duggar clan.) The protests ended, and the place went out of business.

In the case of Josh ministering. I believe his type of "ministering" would be quite different than just reading the bible and telling the women they are evil unless this is his type of foreplay. Dwerp might see what he missed out on when he married Jill. In fact, Josh may send Anna there to get some tips on how to spice it up in the bedroom. Now I am off the Prayer Closet and to drown my brain in some heavy duty brain bleach.

Praying is for everthing ........strip clubs, the perfect wedding gown...........

But Cathy still hasn't answered a leghumper re AFA, The American Family Association, a non-profit organization based in the United States that promotes fundamentalist Christian values.  It opposes same-sex marriage, pornography, and abortion.  It also takes a position on a variety of other public policy goals and has lobbied against the Employee Free Choice Act.  It was founded in 1977 by Donald Wildmon as the National Federation for Decency and is headquartered in Tupelo, Mississippi.  "Strip clubs make me sad, I hope this doesn't pass. By the way, Cathy you still haven't responded to my statement that AFA is hateful"

Well, Cathy's very own head pastor, Ronnie Floyd, and pretty much all the other church heroes of Cathy, all the Duggars, and all the Duggar adjacents such as Der, Bin and Jer  are on the podiums at all the same conferences that Don Wildmon and company are. So I'd say that she'll never ever agree that AFA is hateful in any way.

I'm 100 percent sure that, in her view, as in the views of every Duggar and adjacent we know about, AFA is loving as all get out because they're trying to dissuade LGBTQ folks and sex workers etc from proceeding straight down the path to hell.

I must admit he fooled me as well. Maybe those of us who had hope were fooled by his college education and seemingly secular childhood activities. We live, we learn, unlike the Duggars.

I think Derick changed a lot.  Initially he seemed way more normal and then the marriage, the intense oral surgery, Izzy's birth and his mom's cancer. It might have been way too much for him, especially if he was still dealing with the loss of his father at 19-20 yrs of age.  There might even be more things going on that we don't know about. 

Derick had a lot of potential and he short circuited!

It’s the “put through the ringer” crowd that still makes me laugh. Ding dong!

Also, I remember that something bad happened during their first Missions trip, after Izzy was born.  They never explained what bad thing happened, but did say that Michelle and JB had to suddenly fly down to CA and see to the Dillards.

 

I suppose it could have been a miscarriage, or it could have been Derick going crazy.  He did change so drastically after that.

But, but, but she is afraid of her precious Godly son being tainted by Godless, heathen strippers that take their clothes off. *shudder*

I say Josh and Derick can go "minister" to them and bring Anne http://www.hookersforjesus.net/ to help out the cause. I'm sure Mz Cathy would be all over converting those Godless hussies.

But if God created man and woman, surely he is proud of his work and how can it possibly against his wishes to show it off?  Maybe God hates that we wear clothes and cover up his creation!? Just being silly.    In my opinion seeing Ma and Pa Duggar grind and dry hump on a mini golf course is FAR worse than a woman taking her clothes off.  One is to earn a living (stripper) and the other is for attention and more porny and SO not modest (Ma and Pa Duggar).

Did anyone hear about Twitter now having something like 250 characters? I bet Dillweed is salivating over that. More Godly words for the masses! 

280! Double the last limit of 140. It's still slowly being rolled out, but I was graced with 280 last night and have spent too much time tweeting a lot of song lyrics from my favourite musical. I'm hoping twitter keeps 280 away from Derrick (and Jill and every Duggar and Duggar Adjacent forever.)

No, no, no.....It was the snake in the Hanging Gardens of Babylon that wanted Adam & Steve to wear ass-less leather chaps.  But Adam & Steve didn't want to, so they used fruit from some burning bush to bash the snake's skull in.  Then they discovered iPads with the "Word of Goddard" buried under the snake & those told them that women were to be covered from head to toe or they'd be considered sluts.  But the guys could still wear the ass-less chaps if they wanted.  Thus begat the clothing war of the fundies.....

About 20 minutes down the road where Mr. Six & I grew up, there was THE sketchiest strip club.  People would stop just because they were in the area.  This place had, get this, a drive through!  One could stop at the Arby's and less than five minutes later be treated to a nice show.  There would be lines on Friday & Saturday nights.  I would pay good money to see the Duggs (Dip, especially) expressions at just the mere thought.  Sadly, after years of trying to get it closed by the folks nearby, it closed.  But, the good news is there's another one about 20 minutes further down the same road.

They're so dumb. Don't like strippers? Don't go to a strip club. My only objection would be if was on the same block as a school. Other than that, who gives two shits about it? 

Oh, right. Zealous prudes. 

 

Years ago (I'm showing my age), there was one woman who was determined to have Married With Children taken off the air. I never liked the show, either, but my TV came with a remote control. I frequently wondered why hers didn't. Of course, I also wonder about folks who don't like The People's Court, Forensic Files, TLC, the Duggar family, Monday Night Football, Sesame Street, or Fill-In-The-Blank. Don't like it? Stop watching, following, etc.

I wouldn’t necessarily mind a strip club on the same block as my kid’s school. One of my roommates was a stripper and she said you were safer on the block housing her club than you were anywhere else downtown. A well-run club, like the one she danced at, is wiling to do quite a bit to avoid trouble with the neighbors. They don’t put up with violence, prostitution, or drug use (she said any hint of any of that got reported immediately to the police, because the club wanted to maintain its reputation as a legit business) and they always have quite a bit of Security stationed both inside and outside to make sure that the dancers can come and go safely. Plus they tend to only be open after school hours and are *very* serious about keeping minors out.

Of course, that’s a well-run club. There are many that aren’t.

I read a fair way down the page, and I have to say that in some ways Derick isn't far removed from what the general viewpoint was even among pretty liberal and tolerant people a generation or two ago. My parents would likely agree with him, and they certainly are/were not bigots. A lot of the difference in the way people are viewed comes with progress in psychology/neuroscience and the very real breakthroughs that are being made in our understanding of gender identity and such. Frankly, some of the things he says are points I might well have agreed with not even that long ago. Except that when you cling to the Bible for your entire worldview, there's an automatic prohibition to even considering shades of grey in the way people are born. In so may ways, it just keeps you from even acknowledging any  mindset or orientation not specifically covered in the Bible. You are left with the good (identified, described and approved of), and the evil (not acknowledged as permissible or even existent and/or out and out taboo), with no space given for things as yet not understood or still in the process of being explained.

The sad part really is the blinkered approach he and others like him are obligated by their beliefs to take, because opening their minds even a fraction of an inch to let some new information in might also open the door to Satan...Sometimes I kinda think that Dreck and his ilk are not so much horrible human beings as just afraid of opening their minds lest they find something that doesn't fit with the comfortable tenets they have always held.
