As an RN and a mom, I think the U.S. has lost its goddamn mind when it comes to how pregnant women are treated here. I personally felt like the minute my pee stick turned pink, I lost all my autonomy

Time for a thread name change? From Side Hugs to Front Hugs: They Figured It Out

It's sad when a bunch of internet people who have never met these kids care more about their education and livelihoods than their own parents. Seriously, fuck JB and Michelle.

Remember when Boob was tight with the Bontrangers!? I'm thinking the love died once Boob made it known that his sons could never marry a Duggar girl. From what I remember those boys were not lookers.

He was tight with them but could never pronounce their last name correctly.  Oh Boob.........

Since Louisiana is our good neighbor to the east, I'd imagine the surname would be Cajun French and pronounced accordingly? 

I can only imagine how Boob would pronounce it horribly.

The Bontragers are Mennonites. Not this specific family who went Gothard, but they directly descend from them (check out Mennonite dress and headcoverings in the wedding video). Do they have a large population down South? I always thought of Mennonites populating the Northeast and Midwest.

I live in the American South and we have a local Mennonite community. Their popular bakery and restaurant was damaged last night in a tornado :/

Mennonites and even the Amish have moved all around over the past few decades, mostly for economic reasons. There are a few traditional Amish/Mennonite trades/businesses and most won't go much beyond that; plus, many have honed the right skills for those things, so it's what they can earn the most money at if they can find customers. So once you have a community of a certain size in an area, the work possibilities get very limited. But a group can go elsewhere and have a decent chance of establishing themselves economically.

Central Florida has quite a few Mennonite communities I know of, mostly from Tallahassee, Orlando and Tampa, down to Sarasota.  Forget about the Gulf Coast and Panhandle of Florida though, and West through Alabama & Mississippi.  Very few in that area.  Southern Baptist rules.

The Duggar informant who led me to correctly guess the JoStin wedding date has confirmed that JoKen will be tomorrow (Friday 9/8). She will not cofirm time of day or location (she receives invitations, but doesn't go). She didn't reveal either last time as well (which is fair). 

Great detective work.

Oh, I understand the economics, I just hadn't heard of them really leaving their known regions. We certainly don't have them anywhere near here. Land is far too expensive.

Google and Mennonite Church stats tells me that, as of 2010, Mennonites lived in 9 California counties. And that as of 2014, Amish lived in 30 states, though not California.

Apparently this seamstress assumes neither the bride nor anyone connected with her follows her on Twitter.

I'm hoping the left side of that picture is the after, because if the right side is the after it is underwhelming, and not the kind of tears she is anticipating (unless it isn't noticed at all, in which case Renee will be weeping).  In fact, the right side pic is showing an unimpressive rough hand-sewing job - is that a visible rough edge?

Sheesh.  Why don't people just freaking elope?

I think the picture on the left shows sweet mom's dress with ruffles intact and the picture on the right shows in-progress attachment of sweet ruffles to sweet bride's sweet dress.

So precious!

Renee says that it's a surprise, but someone had to supply the other dress,   Did Kendra's mother take it upon herself to give Renee her dress and order the changes?  Or maybe, it's just a surprise because Kendra knows but just hasn't seen the finished results? I hope this surprise doesn't backfire and the bride is satisfied with the results. Unfortunately, it looks like bubble wrap that has been popped.

Some surprise.  She posted this on Facebook!  And, now everyone knows what the 'secret' wedding date is.  Good work, Renee.  Did you sign a confidentiality agreement?

God is using your keyboard to punish you for your sinful ways. At least according to that asshole Kirk Cameron. He had the gall to film his judgmental video at an airport in Florida, as in leaving the state. Kirk, why not show the rest of us how beyond reproach you are by standing on the nearest beach through the storm?
