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.

I wonder how that really makes Kendra feel. 

"Pregnancy besties!"

Kendra doesn't seem that close to Duggar clan and is probably excited to share the trials and tribulations of pregnancy with her mother rather than a random sister-in-law.

Lauren Caldwell is not leaving the nest for quite some time at this rate.

"Here's a Duggar boy for Katey N. And a Duggar boy for Olivia C. None for Lauren Caldwell!"

How old is Lauren Caldwell? Are there no other sister moms in that family? I’d be happy that Lauren wasn’t courting a Duggar except that the alternative of caring for your siblings isn’t much better.

Lauren is 20. There's one other girl in the family but she's much younger. 

Realistically it delays Lauren's fecundity the longer she puts off marriage. The less children born into this cult, the better.

But aren't they worried she would be "too old" to marry in a few years?

I don't know how it goes with those fundies, but I got the impression they don't like to wait a long time to marry a girl

Lauren will probably be married by 23- not "old" for a fundy bride but not "young" either. The only Duggar daughter married before 21 was Joy.

Kendra being who she is, I imagine she feels it's all really nifty. She just seems to be wired that way.

 

Kendra seems to be genuinely close to her mother so she is probably excited. We are on the same wavelength.

Jessa needs to tell Kendra about headaches and 'extra long' periods. That way Kendra won't beat out Jessa in the baby making department and poor Kendra can catch a break. Three babies in three years is enough to knock Kendra's giggle out. Jessa needs to do it now, because before you know it, Kendra, her mom and her sister will all be having babies at the same time.

I don't know; maybe Kendra wants to be pregnant. And why is it Jessa's responsibility? 

More importantly Joe has to agree to all this since he's the headship. 

Kendra and Joe should start thinking about preventing if they're tired of having baby after baby. But it's decision they need to make together and the responsibility/weight shouldn't be all on Kendra. Joe needs to commit to this too. It sounds manipulative for Kendra to just "get headaches". It's not 50s, even if fundies live that way.

I think Kendra has guzzled the Kool Aid and would never admit she was feeling overwhelmed or didn't want to have more children to herself, let alone to her husband, in-laws, or own family.

Same for Joe, he brought Joy back into the cult when she questioned her “faith”.

They also strike me as a couple where each enjoys his/her partner and enjoys sex with said partner.  Sex is not a chore for Kendra so she will keep on getting pregnant and be surprised that she is knocked up again.  They don't seem to be planning this.

I agree. Also I don't believe Kendra doesn't want to be pregnant or conceive. She WANTS this. No one is forcing her to have sex or conceive (or Joe either for that matter).

 

Nor do I think as fundy as Joe is, if Kendra said she didnt want to be pregnant he would have a problem with it, and I don't think he's the type of fundy guy that would rape his wife (there are still men out there that still feel if you are their wife/gf you cannot refuse them sex).

Kendra seemed firmly on the baby train in all of her TH's, so I think she'll be a martyr like her mother and suffer for the cause.

I doubt Kendra has a real idea there's any other way to live.   She went from the Caldwell sphere of existence to an overlap in the same Venn diagram of existence in the Duggar sphere.  I doubt her horizon is any broader than that.

This is about as personal as a Duggar birthday greeting. 

Dude sounds like the Great Value version of Jeremy Vuolo. 😬 

According to Titus's mom's personal confession on their church website, she -- Gina -- was raised Catholic and emerged deeply unhappy with herself, God, life, Christianity and you name it until her fundie conversion.....So there's a Vuolo vibe, too.

Two more young breeders for Jesus.

It's a bit unsettling he's 27 and she's 20. His family is uber fundie so he's probably on the same maturity level, so the age difference probably doesn't matter. 

I'm always surprised these people make huge deals out of when their offspring get engaged only to say "Uh... She loves the Lord...?" This person is about to marry into your family and all you can say about her is that?!?!?!?!

When I was in college, one of my roommates was fundie.  She had a boyfriend who was one of those 'I used to be Catholic, but then I found Jesus' people.  A particularly obnoxious variety of fundie.  He frequently pointed out to my other roommates and I the error of our ways, worshipping statues and relics, thinking the blessed virgin was equal to God.  Lots of head shaking and tsk-tsking about our sinful ways.  The fact she named her kid Titus, means she's probably all about Titus 2 and submitting to her husband.  Poor Lauren.

I care less about the age difference since they're both adults, and probably met as adults. 

Her family is from Virginia and then moved to Arkansas. He is from Pennsylvania. I think they met as adults, because they're not from the same state. She probably hasn't known him too long or she would be married by now.  His parents may not have met her yet, since they live in PA. Maybe they skyped with her, maybe they've met in her person once, but they probably don't know her too well. The most important thing to these people is being saved by Jesus, so that's what they know.

If you'd like a vicarious experience of the rest of Lauren Caldwell's days as her husband talks and talks, here are his sermons: --

https://www.sermonaudio.com/search.asp?speakeronly=true&currsection=sermonsspeaker&keyword=Titus_Hall

And one where you can hear and see him ...    

 

He's a better speaker than Jer is. I'll give him that.....Kind of in the dry drill-sergeant mode, but at least you can figure out what he's driving at and one thing seems to lead to the next.

I assume he's not necessarily aiming at the professional ministry but is just doing that "young guy who's a member of our church preaching" thing, but I don't know. Any sign of whether he aims at doing this for a living?

I don't know if he's an actual student, but he mentioned studying Colossians in order to teach lessons from that book.

The groom is Titus Hall. He's from a big family in PA. Big time fundies.

Just can't shake the thought that moving a Caldwell girl several states away from her family might not turn out happily ever after.  I foresee a very homesick bride and a devastated bride's parents and oldest sister for starters.

Seems Duggars stay tethered for financial reasons for the most part, destined to live under the thumb of JB forever, cursed by lack of education, initiative and backbone.   The Caldwell ties seem to run pretty emotionally deep.

2.0 is nothing. The Maxwells are on Anna 3.0. 😁

On the other hand, we and they should probably all rejoice that the Maxwells don't have Steve 3.0. 

Although I suppose it's pretty likely there are Steves proceeding there under other names.

I think that occurs to me because there's something about Tight-Assed-as-All-Hell that makes me think of Steve......He seems like a guy who might suffer from that form of "religious OCD" they call Scrupulosity. Good luck, Lauren. Hope I'm wrong.

Little bit pricey there, Kendra --

A'DEL NATURAL COSMETICS

MASCARA

$28

Joe Duggar doesn't look like he lives with a woman who wants $28 mascara. 😁

I always wonder how many people with disposable incomes that allow numerous luxury-level purchases of small things actually follow the Duggars and want to take recommendations from them. There must be some. But I can't figure out who they are. With a fairly small number of exceptions (I think...), these Gothard-y and Quiverful-ish families don't seem to be good prospects for products like this. I guess the "natural" is a draw to her audience. But I really wonder who loves Kendra enough to buy very much from a company like this.

Chanel Le Volume is the best mascara of life- and it’s $30. I don’t see Kendra as the idea representative of $28 mascara either. Not that I begrudge her advertising things, but I would think she would market something she uses. Homegoods or baby items.....her hair is thick and shinny so I could see her shelling a conditioner or hair mask.  
 

I could see a Kendra fan using their tiny bit of disposable income to buy from her. Marketing is a fascinating thing, but the way these things work she only gets paid per person that uses her code for a purchase. No money out of the company’s pocket. She filmed the ad etc.

Exactly. Those who truly want to and have the income to buy pricey mascara already know the quality brands and stick to them.
