The Lonely Js Club: James, Jackson & Johannah


Message added by Scarlett45,

Discussing the charges against Jana is fine, but do not post any information that reveals her address/contact information- even if said documents are public (i.e. a part of court proceedings.)

Discussing charges against Jana is NOT a jumping off point to speculate on other instances abuse/neglect etc towards the M-children or to elaborate on Josh's conviction and potential victims.

The no dancing thing annoys me.

I’m not even religious, and I know there’s passages in the bible that say things like “let them praise his name with dancing” and “he danced for the lord with all his might”.

Nobody ignores the spirit of the bible more than the fundamentalists who claim to live by it.

A lot of wine drinking in the Bible too!

As a teenager at a church his family attended, Mr. Xword was told that playing his guitar was sinful, because it would make people want to dance, even more sinful.  His family switched churches after that.  No churches for us, and 50 years later, Mr. is playing guitar more than ever as a retiree.

Music and dancing.  I hope JD and Abbie have both.  Boob's head would explode, and that I'd like to see.

Now remember, when the Bible talks about wine it means un-fermented grape juice.  I still remember trying to keep a straight face when I was first told that one.   A few weeks ago I ran into the husband of the girl who told me this at a bar.

I belonged to a church that didn't allow dancing except choreographed worship dancing.  The rationale was 1) dancing created arousal and made people want to have sex, and 2) dancing was generally done in venues that served alcohol, which was also verboten.

Ugh with that logic.  How can fundies think they’re better than everyone else when they can’t even dance without fear of it leading to sex?  Most folks have no problem with this.  I guess our mental fortitude is better than theirs.

Nah, I think those types of fundies think we heathens are boinking like bunnies whenever we're out of their sight.  Which is not only not true, but I wonder if it leads to increased boinking by those types of fundies trying desperately to keep up. 

I can see that.  They pop out a kid every year/every other year and unless they get pregnant on the first try each time, I would say they are the ones who are boinking like bunnies.  It took me 6 months of actively trying to get pregnant.

I think they didn't attend Famy's reception more because of the booze than the dancing, although I'm sure that was a lesser factor. 

I remember a photo of some of the older girls walking into the reception or wedding and all making faces  like they were having to mix with the unwashed, heathen masses.  They really have no clue what a lot of the rest of the world sees them like, do they?

 JD would not even insult Abbie by asking  if JBlob or Molester could be in the wedding party.

The viral outrage of SM, the loud roar their faithful viewing audience who hate the enablers and the deviant would  take away from what could be a joyous occasion of  a Dugg who is breaking the mold by marrying a woman who is very much out his league.

Hoping the stupid Duggs have as little input as possible...letting JD and Abbie work with TLC production and producers to orchestrate their wedding.

Hope TLC learned their lesson how cheap and tacky Si's wedding looked because it was rushed and 2 children were making the decisions.

Speaking of dancing, one of my favorite hymns is "Lord of the Dance".  Part of it goes "Dance, dance, wherever you may be,. I'm the lord of the dance said he." Apparently these people have never heard that one.

I was just going to post about "Lord of the Dance".  It is one of my favorite  songs too.  Now I'm going to have it playing in my head. (For the good, not bad.)

I'm also hoping Abbie goes her sister's route for her wedding attire & hair.

I'm sorry but I think you're reading the wrong versions of the Bible it should be grape juice not wine? because  the Duggars claim Jesus turned water into grape juice. 

 

Wait, wait, wait.  So they think Jesus grabbed water at a wedding, ran out back, dumped in some grapes and footstomped them like an I Love Lucy episode to make grape juice instead of turning it into wine?  They really are idiots, aren't they?

Please TLC, let someone slip the adult Duggars Long Island Iced teas instead of regular tea and film it.

My ex-husband was a mama’s boy and I was very offended when former MIL would say “A son is a son until he takes a wife. A daughter is a daughter the rest of her life.”   I hope this is the actual scenario for this couple, that they are geographically and emotionally closer to her hopefully more normal-ish family. 

Totally projecting, but daring to hope.

Lol! My late grandmother used to say that all the time. Of course, she hated all three of her sons' wives, so maybe she took an old saying to heart just a tad bit much.

Maybe that whisky he was sucking down is really just unfermented corn juice!

In uber conservative cultures, aren’t weddings thrown by the bride’s family? Isn’t that why we’ve been treated to a half dozen Duggar girl weddings where the reception consisted of parking lots with dixie cups of ice cream in November or cupcakes/candy but no actual food like a piece of chicken or pasta? While Josh’s disaster of a marriage actually started with a real meal? I’m not suggesting it was fancy but Anna’s parents at least sprang for chicken salad, pasta salad, cake etc. so guests who had traveled 10+ hrs were given an actual meal.  Not that a bride’s parents can’t be just as cheap as JB – from the pics we’ve seen, Si’s wife’s family only sprang for sheet cake, cupcakes, and candy – though maybe they were thinking, no need to impress the inlaws, we know this is what JB would be doing for his own daughter too.

So if Abby’s family is throwing the wedding, can’t they make it a put together affair like her sister’s wedding? Plus the groom’s family usually has minimal involvement with a reception anyway, so the Duggar bus pulls up to the reception, there’s a floor in the middle – they cluelessly think ok the hall must just be built this way NBD, and JD and Abby are announced by a DJ, come running in, and start dancing their first dance – what exactly will JB and Michelle do? Drag their 27 yr old son who are already left and cleaving off the dance floor by the neck??

Doing it this way does risk a lot of stank faces, but who cares? I’m from a conservative, eastern, no dancing culture. So the first few of my generation’s weddings (all cousins being born and raised in America), there were dance floors and yeah – the aunts/uncles/older relatives definitely had their stank faces on and talked openly about how inappropriate it was.  Fast forward just 5 yrs, they go into weddings expecting it and don’t bitch about it.  The dance floors are still hit or miss and sometimes will be empty-ish at such weddings, but whatever if the bride wants it, it’s there; there is at least some music and liveliness to the weddings as opposed to our previous no music, no alcohol (still none of that) parties that had the excitement of a doctors appointment.

In this case, this family may be in for a shock and maybe they’d leave early in protest. But I just think they’d stand there with those condescending looks of theirs – esp Jessa and Jill; Derick and Bin would be trying to stop their sons from running onto the dance floor bc they need to use EVERY opportunity to publicly show how religious their home is; meanwhile in their heart of hearts, Bin and Jana would probably want to dance but wouldn’t bc RELIGION and JB.  But I think JD and Abby can get some commitment from Abby’s family to dance some – at least that sister and her husband; plus Jinger and Jeremy bc Jer probably wanted a dance floor at his own wedding and didn’t push it and he likely grew up dancing at a 1000 italian catholic weddings in Philadelphia and Jing just enjoys spiting the family; plus Zach and Whit Bates who are going a bit fundie lite-er these days.  That’s enough for it not to be an awkwardly empty dance floor.

"Lord of the  Dance  " is one of my favorite  hymns also. I will go the sleep  with  that song  running  through  my head.  What a perfect  earworm.

I was taught as a kid that this was only because the water wasn’t safe to drink in bible times, so their only choice was to drink wine. 

That's likely. Prohibitions against eating pork and shellfish in the Torah and Q'ran probably have something to do with food safety at the time as well.

I believe that the no dancing traces it's roots to the delightful rays of sunshine that were John Knox and later Oliver Cromwell.  Catholics danced so therefore they had to do the opposite.  Who cares what the Bible actually says. 

LOL! Loved it XD

 

Also, I love Abbie's sister's wedding dress! Very pretty and elegant. I like its simplicity.
