Jill, Derick & the Kids: Moving On!!

[Betweenyouandme]

Yes, they've definitely shown they like scaring people...the CLOWN incident.

That scared me on the tv, and I'm not even scared of normal clowns not in a horror movie.

Thus far, I posted the video of Derick on TLC's page and local Arkansas animal rescue pages. I hope someone calls their asses out on their bullshit goody two shoes image.

ANOTHER SHOWER? I'm not against showers, but come on. Factoring in the house (I know they don't 'own' it), wedding gifts, etc. hasn't Jill made about a quarter mil in the past 9 months? That's before you add in the TV money, Magazine covers, speaking tours, etc. I hope catgate slows it down.

[Rhondinella]

You can't go around questioning their beliefs, can you? They're deeply held, you know.

 

 

But . . . . I STRENUOUSLY object!

[SmallTownMom]

I watched the sledding video again as I showed it to some people, and it is just so upsetting to me.

 

If my daughter had been one of those little kids waching this, she would have been tramatized, crying and shrieking.

 

The fact that we hear nothing but laughing and a little kid yelling "pow!" is kind of chilling.  People who scare or hurt defenseless animals are a bunch of lowlifes.  But wait!  The Duggars are better than the rest of us, and they hold themselves to much higher standards.  Some people are saying, "It's only a cat."  That's true.  THIS TIME!  What these kids are learning as acceptable behavior may only get worse later on.  Might be funny to torture a small child.  Or let's all laugh at that old person that just fell.  Doesn't matter that Derrick didn't hit the cat.  Fact is, he tried, and there is nothing funny about that.

 

I also saw a video with some of the older boys.  "This is how the Duggars do a snow day!"  They were tearing around in the snow with John David chasing them with lights and sirens.  What a waste.  Since nobody works, and you have so much time on your hands, why not help some of your neighbors?  I mean when the cameras are NOT rolling.  My husband works 10-hour days and will still shovel driveways for elderly neighbors.  The Duggar "ministry" is their show, which rakes in money.  They don't care about helping anybody.

 

And this might not be the right thread, but I am on a roll here :).  I want to gag when Jill and Jessa say "I married my best friend!"  Really, you married your ONLY friend outside of the family.

 

Bunch of redneck a-holes.  And I think you could afford some real sleds, not a cookie sheet or an election sign.

There's only one of you and 19 of them. See, that makes them right!

I love that poem too. I'll have to check out the book(s). Thanks.

I'd love for the video to show up on "Inside Edition".

I've been tweeting it to every entertainment news outlet I can think of.

Hey all!  As you may know Baby Jilly Dilly the Wonder Child is due within the next 6-8 weeks.  Posters here have started a baby pool to guess baby's date of birth, weight, height and name.

If you'd like to participate, please go to the fabulous Google spreadsheet created by SpaghettiTuesdays here.

Winner gets . . . .to be the winner.  And all the fleeting and completely insignificant glory that comes therewith.

ha - good question but don't they say they "buy" used?  I don't remember ever hearing them say anything about "receiving for free" used.

 

I wonder if they have to pay taxes on all that stuff? I mean normally you don't for gifts, but when you get THAT many, are there taxes involved?  Kind of like receiving a bonus at work?

I can't believe I'm defending them, but it seems kind of silly to spend money on sleds when you live someplace that gets so little snow. When my family lived in Arkansas, we had a "real" sled only because I still had my Flexible Flyer from childhood . . . and most winters it hung untouched in the garage.

 

To my mind, creative sledding does not make one a redneck. I certainly do not quibble with your use of the word "a-hole," though!  ;-)

*snort*

 

As IF. The Holy Child only accepts brand new or handmade items. 

 

eta: Derick got the "New Dad" blue ribbon worn in the cat video at this shower (held at Vanessa the Midwife's home). He posted a pic to his IG yesterday holding someone else's baby at the shower, wearing the same stupid ribbon. Jill got an "It's a BOY!" ribbon of her own. Whoopee!

What a couple of immature assholes.

[SmallTownMom]

Sorry, Portia.  The "redneck" part was meant for those big doofus boys driving like maniacs in the snow while JD chased them in what I guess was his constable car.  I was on a rant, and I tend to ramble when I do that.

 

I didn't realize Arkansas got so little snow.  I live in PA, and we have had way more than our share this year.  I know my daughter and her friends used to take cafeteria trays in college and use them for sleds.

 

I just get annoyed at all these people NOT working.  Everybody I know works and scrimps and saves, and to see these jerks sitting around doing nothing rubs me the wrong way.  Oh yeah, you can use that time to think up ways to torture animals.  And of course, work on the next "blessing."

Yes, mam, sorry to come off so rude.

[CofCinci]

And another thought: I imagine that the Tibetans and Nepalis that Derick lived among and sought to share the Good News with would be unhappy to see how he treats animals in his own country. They treat animals and even insects with a great deal of care bc of their belief in reincarnation and karma. Even those who are now believing Christians in Nepal and India are extremely respectful to all living things. Derick should remember that and not simply take down the video, but publicly apologize and make amends to set a good example to the Duggar-Sewalds.

He was there to convert them, which shows he doesn't give a crap about their beliefs.

[Mrsjumbo]

As I have mentioned here before, almost 2 yrs ago I adopted a 1 mo old kitten from the shelter that I later learned a Duggar had brought in because he was "vicious".

The cat video- my cat says "thank GOD you rescued me so I didn't have to live with those assholes!"

And he has a kink in his tail- Lord knows how THAT happened...

Also-I saw on the yahoo front page that E news has article on the infamous cat video- Here is an excerpt lol

 

"Unfortunately, there's an orange cat sitting right in the path of Derick's sled. Although he calls out, "Move, cat," he chuckles as Ben's push sends him downhill directly towards the animal. As varying Duggar family members cheer and laugh, Derick collides with the cat, who bounces off his sled and slides down the hill." -by REBECCA MACATEE

I'm still wondering how Venessa feels that Jill didn't choose her as the delivering midwife for Dilly. I guess not too bad if she co-hosted the baby shower. Of course, Janarella had to be the Secretary & record all the gifts for thank yous. I guess she'll be in charge of the Thank You Writing Committee too since Queen Jilly Muffin won't have time once the Great Dilly is born. Jilly would have the time now, before he's born, to work on them but she'll be using the time to warehouse all the goods.

[Ljohnson1987]

Jill said that she doesn't mix her work life with her pregnancy. Then why use a midwife at all? God forbid something happens to the midwife and a male dr has to deliver Prince Dilly.

If I'm an OB/GYN, I don't want my colleagues delivering my baby. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't use another OB/GYN. Substitute midwife and it's not that different for Jill.

I did my part by posting the story to another gossip blog I read. :-]

Haha, right? I read one tweet that said something like, "Well, I signed the petition to keep them on air, but this is gross and Derick needs to apologize for this!" I guess trying to run over a cat on a sled is harder to pass off as religious freedom/morality or traditional family values, but I'm sure the Duggars could give it the ol' college try.

A quick edit: Maybe Walmart will fire Derrick. Bad image and all that. I'd feel bad if he lost non-Duggar income. He deserves it for this, though. He can be Bin's toilet-scrubbing countability buddy.

I've never been involved with PETA and always thought of them as somewhat extreme with no leather and vegan leaning but I emailed them with the link to Derick's IG video. That was last night and now I have 7 emails from them in my inbox. I can deal with that if the video gets the attention of the media, but I have no plans to hop on the PETA train.

Good to know; thank you!

When I went on Radar today it was the first  thing I read about. Great job!  I absolutely hate people that hurt animals. No excuse for this!

I hope not. I think he (and Ben) made a horrible, juvenile, judgment. Ben especially acts as juvenile as all the Duggars. Derrick usually doesn't.

What I hope is that Cathy reams his ass. THAT will make more of an impression.

It's all good.  Just checking. :-)

I do NOT like what he did but I cannot wish the loss of a job on someone with a pregnant wife. In fact I hated what he did.

[Rhondinella]

Ok, don't crucify me for this but . . . didn't the cat jump out of the way?  As cats do instinctively?  It's really hard to tell because the camera angle changes right at that point and we're seeing it from the back.  But I'm fairly certain no cat that wasn't disabled would sit there while a guy came barreling down toward him.  That's why the video didn't bother me that much.  I mean, yeah, if they were sincerely trying to hurt the cat and just failed, that would be an asshole move.  But if they were just joking around, and didn't actually do the cat any harm, then  . . . . eh, seems like a tempest in a teacup.

 

But maybe that's just cause my husband (not a cat lover) is constantly threatening to eat our family feline. :-) (He kids, of course.  Don't report us to PETA!)

I don't think that excuses Derrick. Even if it was juvenile, why post it? That's two unforced errors. That kind of idiocy brings down politicians all the time.

 

All the stories ID him as a Walmart employee. I think I'll write to their HR and see if I get a response.

The intent is just as important as the outcome. People are jailed for attempted murder (not Derrick was that bad), etc all the time.

 

Better example: Do you go through intersections with pedestrians because 'they'll get out of the way'?

Yeah, but Derick isn't some regular Joe Schmoe trying to make ends meet, he's sucking on the Duggar teat. His family's not going to starve.

 

Granted, I'm not sure we should encourage him to continue sucking on the teat by taking away his source of non-Duggar-related income.....

 

I'd settle for an end to Duggarmania. Derick can keep his job. 

[Marigold]

Not a big animal lover but I would not do that. I would be mad if my kids did that. In fact, as a mom, I would be yelling "watch out for the cat!!! Don't hit the cat!!! What's wrong with you to sled into a cat???"

It's not nice to tease animals.

It was a STUPID move to post that online.

And hello? Isn't Derick a bit old to be sledding using a cooking sheet pan? Buy a freaking sled or something. Grow up.

There was another gift grab -- oops, baby shower over the weekend, so I'm sure they believe they'll weather the storm. There's a full moon in the next two days. How much does anyone here want to bet that Jilly Muffin will give birth, all will be forgotten and People magazine will be breathless with excitement over another EXCLUSIVE?

 

Unfortunately for Derick, he is far too stupid (and too much of a famewhore, it seems) to realize he's touched the third rail. People will ignore or overlook a lot of things, but they don't forget deliberate animal cruelty. He'd better hope that kitty was uninjured and is safe. And I would laugh my ass off if JD was stripped of his "constable" position because he used city/county resources for personal benefit.

Sincerity does matter - but we all have different ways of judging that. There is no magic right way to do it, just a lot of wrong ones.

I wouldn't accept this:

 

Hi, I'm DerrickDiallardDuggar. I'm sorry if my family's good time caused some people to get upset over almost colliding with a cat. It was never my intent to hurt the cat, just to have fun. I believe that all life is precious, don't forget there's a baby holocaust on. The DuggarDiallrds pray for those millions of babies people torture like animals every year. Amen and Thank you. (Single tear rolls down his cheek).

 

They would word it better of course. They probably have PR people writing it right now.

[whydoiwatch]

This show has gone on far too long. I watched initially just to see how everything worked in a family of that size. Once I saw them for the entitled, arrogant, secluded and ignorant clan that they are I quit watching, but do enjoy the snark here. 

I am sickened by any animal being teased, endangered or abused. There is NO excuse for that behavior and it says a lot about the person doing it. Posting the video takes it to a whole new level.

What happened with the cat is now over and hopefully there will be enough backlash to cause this disgusting show to be cancelled. It is a slap in the face to every person who is working hard to earn a living that this family basks in the pseudo celebrity status and gets paid for it.

[ChocolateAddict]

The thing with cat-gate (just writing it is funny) is that it puts a spotlight on their ethics.  People have known for years that the Duggars support groups that are not only anti-abortion and anti-gay but almost dangerously so.  Wanting to have LGBTI people thrown out of their homes and workplaces is pretty extreme but the leg-humpers were happy to just stick to the family line of "We are just a good Christian family with lots of kids!". 

 

The cat may not have been maimed or injured but that isn't the point.  Hopefully, people will wake up and realise that a family who has such extreme views and laughs at an attempt to hit a cat with a sled, isn't as virtuous, loving and ethical as they like to present themselves.   

[floridamom]

When Jill holds up those stupid chalkboard signs saying "36 weeks and 2 days", I get a annoyed as she is MARRIED 38 weeks and 2 days....how utterly awful for these two and she has no idea; derickdillard may be a bit scared, but isn't allowed to say so.

I completely agree that aiming for that poor cat, especially while it wasn't even looking in that direction was deliberate of derickdillard and the dashingbenseewald. They really should be ashamed of themselves, ALL of them who were there and noticed beforehand.
