One of the things I learned in the two years of counseling was personal boundaries. There are some basic steps to keep the opportunities of offending away from young men. For example, not letting myself babysit, let little kids sit on my lap, or hang on me, or ever be alone with a little person. If i applied these before I offended, it would not have been easy to offend. The simplicity of these boundaries is a small price to pay for such protection.... For example, if the little people want a hug, I get down on one knee and hug them on their level. I don't pick them up or let them hang on me. My mom thought I should mention that one should ask when you want a hug or when you want to be in someone's personal space (within twelve inches of their body) or touch them. https://gawker.com/the-duggar-homeschool-programs-terrifying-advice-on-sex-1706406324 Edited January 1, 2020 by Churchhoney 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7311-the-duggars-and-their-world-fashion-food-finance-schoolin%E2%80%99-and-child-rearin/page/85/#findComment-5838435

An older brother cannot change his baby sister's diaper lest he be tempted, but an older sister can still change her baby brother's diaper. He also cannot babysit, but she still can. Gothard would have a stroke if he saw the way my sister is raising her kids. She dares to let her daughter and son bathe together, and clothes are optional for the majority of the day as long as they are in the house. They have "Naked Baby Time" on an almost daily basis before bedtime. She even lets them strip down to their diaper/underwear with their friends while painting or other very messy activities. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7311-the-duggars-and-their-world-fashion-food-finance-schoolin%E2%80%99-and-child-rearin/page/85/#findComment-5839958

Can someone explain that message, because it makes no sense to me. One of many things I find particularly infuriating about the Duggars is the way they taunt their unmarried children with basically the equivalent of "Look at what you're missing out on, losers!" when it comes to affection with the opposite sex. I roll my eyes at how clingy a lot of the young marrieds are--always intertwined with each other while sitting on a couch, etc.--but I can't really judge too much since they got so many mixed signals about how to interact with the opposite sex. It's basically either NO TOUCHING or ALL THE TOUCHING with nothing in between. Except for when it's your brother touching you because apparently that's not so bad, even though if a boy you weren't related to did that exact same thing to you as a consenting adult it's a sin and you gave away pieces of your heart like a slut. What the fuck.

And you train them up from day one to see everything in the same fearful, distrustful, etc. way that you do -- and maybe even more so....You drum it into them.....So they go along with it because they've been programmed to think it's the only way to live. And you now have a group of people who constitute a social circle for you -- and you've trained them from birth to submit to your controlling them in all kinds of ways that people not brainwashed-from-birth to do it would likely never let you control them .... And there you have a kind of ideal situation (for fearful, distrustful, etc., control freaks, that is....) All the fun you need is engaging in group paranoia and pushing around your trained-from-birth pushable retinue. You're not just okay with it. You feel like a goddamn little king or queen on earth.....You've got a moat and a bunch of slaves. Who could ask for anything more? Been there. Done that. They are very warped people. And they like this. Whereas they wouldn't like "normal" life a bit. And they screw up the slaves for a lifetime.

I live in Dallas, ask me how I know. ☹ How far is Jonesboro from where the Duggars live? I just realized today that I have no idea where in Arkansas they are. It's about 4-5 hours east. Basically Jonesboro is in the NE part of the state, close to TN, about an hour from Memphis. The Duggars live in the NWA metro area, which is NW part of the state, not even a full hour from the OK border. 2 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7311-the-duggars-and-their-world-fashion-food-finance-schoolin%E2%80%99-and-child-rearin/page/85/#findComment-6031483
Zella March 29, 2020 Share March 29, 2020 (edited) The NWS released this last year, and I have found it interesting: The Duggars, depending on which Duggars we're talking about, live in Washington and Benton counties. Jonesboro is in Craighead County. This info is current as of last year and it shows in approximately 60 years, Craighead County has had 40 tornadoes. Benton County has had 54 and Washington County has had 34. I don't see a lot of rhyme or reason to which counties have more. But there have been a lot more deaths in Craighead county. https://www.weather.gov/lzk/svrbro9.htm The info doesn't count tornado warnings for potentially tornadic storms, just the ones that actually dropped tornadoes. There are several of those every spring, at least for my county. Do the Duggars even have weather radios, I wonder, or a storm basement? I keep a couple of different local weather apps on my phone, and I know many people around here who do.

Sew Sumi March 29, 2020 Share March 29, 2020 (edited) They definitely don't have a basement. TLC showed them setting up the radiant heating system onto the concrete slab foundation in an early special.

A lot of folks don't have basements because they can't afford it, but I can't fathom why they didn't plan for that. Oh, wait, there I go again, expecting logic from these morons. But seriously unless they have a storm shelter, that's dangerous. 😞 1 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7311-the-duggars-and-their-world-fashion-food-finance-schoolin%E2%80%99-and-child-rearin/page/85/#findComment-6031800
Sew Sumi March 29, 2020 Share March 29, 2020 They've never shown one, so I doubt one exists.

BigBingerBro March 29, 2020 Share March 29, 2020 I seems to recall during the TTH building episode(s) that the kits they bought are super storm resistant. JB was bragging about it. I can't recall if he mentioned tornadoes specifically however. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7311-the-duggars-and-their-world-fashion-food-finance-schoolin%E2%80%99-and-child-rearin/page/85/#findComment-6031889
jcbrown March 29, 2020 Share March 29, 2020 At least they have a big ravine next to their house, right? The one they built that death trap of a treehouse thing over? I grew up in a mobile home when I was a kid and I vividly remember sheltering in a ditch with my mom, little sister, and gerbil in his cage. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7311-the-duggars-and-their-world-fashion-food-finance-schoolin%E2%80%99-and-child-rearin/page/85/#findComment-6031900

JB was bragging about it. I can't recall if he mentioned tornadoes specifically however. No matter how storm resistant, no house can withstand a direct hit from a tornado which is probably the most common natural disaster in NW Arkansas. The Duggars are exactly the sort of fools who would build a house without a storm cellar. And, of course, JD and Abbie live in a trailer, Jessa's house is tiny and Joe's place doesn't look too substantial, either. While they all could conceivable go to the TTH when the weather is threatening, we are in the midst of a pandemic and they shouldn't. Anyone who lives in a place where tornadoes are common also knows that you often get just a few minutes to get to safety when the tornado is heading your way. We also get dozens of tornado watches and warnings every spring and it isn't practical to bug out to the parents' place every time/ 1 12 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7311-the-duggars-and-their-world-fashion-food-finance-schoolin%E2%80%99-and-child-rearin/page/85/#findComment-6031909

GeeGolly April 15, 2020 Share April 15, 2020 Bringing together the multiple fashion conversations from the other threads. With exception of maybe Jinger (& Jill?), none of the Duggar daughters or female in-laws have lost their Fundy fashion completely (or at all). On any given day, we could pick them out of a line up depending on their outfit. Joy and Jessa still scream Fundy on most days. Jana, Lauren, Abbie and Kendra come in a close second. Jill and her pants are a bit confusing, so maybe she doesn't scream Fundy, but she doesn't scream fashion either. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7311-the-duggars-and-their-world-fashion-food-finance-schoolin%E2%80%99-and-child-rearin/page/85/#findComment-6065834

Some people do, and some don't. Maybe she'll develop a sense of what works for her, as time goes by. At least it's been awhile since she was wearing whatever she could scrounge from the communal Duggar closet, and living under the headship thumb of a Gothard adherent. She's emerging from all that and is bound to get some things right and other things wrong. 17 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7311-the-duggars-and-their-world-fashion-food-finance-schoolin%E2%80%99-and-child-rearin/page/85/#findComment-6065856

She missed experimenting with fashion during her high school and undergraduate years like so many of us. She broke free later and is now playing catch up. She also feels the need to document everything because of her upbringing. I made some fashion choices when I was younger and I am glad that happened well before everyone had a camera permanently attached to their hand and the ability to share instantly. 1 1 13 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7311-the-duggars-and-their-world-fashion-food-finance-schoolin%E2%80%99-and-child-rearin/page/85/#findComment-6065873
