Also Dolly's big on education and has her Imagination Library reading program, that sends kids in the program one free book a month, from birth to age 5. Too bad JB wouldn't have signed the kids up for that. On one hand, he loves free stuff, but on the other he'd be receiving books he probably wouldn't approve of, and someone would have to actually read them to the kids. 8 Link to comment
Barb23 December 19, 2016 Share December 19, 2016 Don't forget that Dolly wanted to adopt Jordyn when she met the Duggars. From the unhappy look on Jordyn's face during MEchelle's birthday greeting, it's too bad it didn't happen. 9 Link to comment

BitterApple January 1, 2017 Share January 1, 2017 (edited) Nice presentation, Duggars. Very classy. Someone might want to tell those morons you're supposed to put the plates at the beginning of the buffet, not the tail end (unless my perspective is screwed up). I also notice the tortilla chips are about a mile away from the queso dip. I'm guessing Joy must have organized this one. Edited January 1, 2017 by BitterApple 3 Link to comment

It also doesn't look like much food. There have to be at least 40-50 people in the house. There's a bowl of snack mix, a bowl of cheetos (?), some goldfish, a couple of bags of chips, etc. If I had a half a dozen friends over to watch a game, I'd offer more food than that. There's nothing wrong with just offering light snacks, but everything they do always looks like this -- chintzy and revolting. Edited January 1, 2017 by cmr2014 basic grammar 8 Link to comment

Churchhoney January 3, 2017 Share January 3, 2017 in case anybody's interested, here's a thing about who wrote the Wisdom Booklets and so on.... It's a piece on the close longstanding links between ATI and HSLDA, actually. https://homeschoolersanonymous.org/2014/02/03/a-brief-history-of-ati-and-hsldas-relationship/ Among other things, it says this: IBLP’s homeschooling program, the core curriculum of which are the “Wisdom Booklets,” described by IBLP as “a 3,000-page amplification of the Sermon on the Mount.” According to the Advanced Training Institute, “In the scope of the ATI curriculum, the Bible is the main textbook, the Wisdom Booklets are the core curriculum.” That “core curriculum” began development in 1984 by a team that worked under the direction of 3 individuals: Bill Gothard, Dr. Larry Guthrie, and Inge Cannon. Bill Gothard and Michael Farris Bill Gothard, as previously stated, is IBLP’s founder. Less known, however, is that Michael Farris and his wife Vickie embraced the Quiverfull lifestyle specifically because of him. As documented in Kathryn Joyce’s Quiverfull, Michael Farris “came to his Quiverfull beliefs through the ministry of Bill Gothard.” In the 1980s, Gothard preached that God should determine family size. And “one of Gothard’s early converts was [HSLDA’s Michael] Farris, who was already primed for the message of letting God control Vickie’s fertility by early anti-contraception literature and his immersion, in the late 70’s, in a conservative Christian movement in Washington State.” 2 Link to comment
