Very fundie area, from what I've seen.

The Duggars went to their local touristy town, Pigeon Forge, Tn and met Dolly Parton. Paula Deen has built a restaurant in Pigeon Forge and has made her comeback there. Dolly Parton has a bunch of businesses there, but she has shown support for gay people.

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.

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. 

Wonder if Dolly caught a glimpse of that look, too. When you see the kids looking like that, the desire to swoop in and drag them away is hard to avoid.

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.

Ahhh Snack mix, my favorite.  Except I like the homemade Chex version.  Like everything else, theirs looks store bought.  Wonder how many hands have been through it?  Our work potlucks were more put together than this. 

I'm sure Josie has had her Grimy hands in it, licked it, and put it back.

I have to agree that the food looks revolting -- I can't imagine why anyone would want to take a picture of that mess.

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.

I'm glad the Goldfish are still in their container. Makes it harder for Josie to get to them. More for me! (They are my junkfood weakness. LOL)

That queso or whatever is residing in the slow cooker looks absolutely revolting.

Baked potato soup?  With sour cream and cheddar cheese garnish.

If Alert really helped with any disasters they would be shouting that they helped from the roof.

The "disaster" they specialize in is Gothardite sons who are letting Satan into their hearts which causes them to be be promiscuous, look at porn,  or be rebellious. Or they're gay. Those are the only "natural disasters" ALERT really cares about. Otherwise these kids would just join the National Guard, become EMTs, etc., or the Boy Scouts.

If I showed up to a party and this was the spread, I'd expect there to be a bunch of booze. That's all okay post-drinking junk food. But if there was no booze? No way. I'd be out of the door.

That food spread is embarrassing. I definitely wouldn't post that. 

Most people wouldn't post this, but the Duggars like to do everything "just a little bit different". Most people who are socially aware have some sort of filter that would:

1. pass on the opportunity 

2. Clean up the area first.

3. Look tidy themselves.

4. Retake video or reshoot photo.

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.”

Nah, he'd sell them or donate them and take the tax write off.  With that many kids in the 0-5 range at any given time they would have gotten many books a month for free.

You know sometimes the coating on crackers or chips is pretty thick so she may have had to suck on a few before spitting them out into the bowl.  Sometimes you gotta do more than lick that stuff off.  Upon reading my post it sounds kinda dirty.

Poor Howlers and Lost Girls. No way is Josie ready to self-educate herself, which has been the drill at 3rd grade for a decade. 

I guess this is how they suck Anna in forever, never to be seen again. She already has her own kids, what's seven or eight more?

Don't think that's the Duggar "nice" kitchen. I think the ovens are along the back wall, and the Duggars' island is double-tiered. Plus, the finishings are too nice. And there aren't a string of pictures littering the windowsill. 

Not to mention, far too nicely dressed for the Duggar NYE mess. That was probably Joy's party, but hey, that's Joy.

I think it is. Looks to be they were posed straight to the back of this pic. And the close up of the posters show the brown molding around the door on one side and the trim-less window on the other.

WTF? Does that say give cash to the couple? Both pics look like the Duggar's house.

Cash and gift cards. Gritting 101.

WTF? They expect people to have random gift cards to give? Did everyone know he was going to propose so they came prepared?

It sure does. Cash AND gift cards. Every time I think these people can't hit a new level of tacky, I'm surprised yet again.

The fiance looks like a total creeper, but hey, Tabitha's out of the Spinster Club, so it's all gravy.
