Duggar surprise?

[denisem]

Anyone catch Jim-Bob's statement about the myth of population explosion?

He claimed the whole world's population could be fit into the city limits of Jacksonville, FL. Maybe shoulder to shoulder - but then you'd have to deal with that pesky issue of impure touching...

He has obviously never been to India....

Yeah, both he and Michelle (who is just parroting what he tells her) said overpopulation of the earth is a myth. And the fact the entire world's population could fit inside the city limits of Jacksonville, FL?

You really have to question his intelligence at that point.

Seriously. You put yourself on television - for the money, for the notoriety, to proselytize, for your own narcissistic enjoyment, whatever - I will sit on my couch and judge you, your ridiculous hair, your Laura Ingalls-would-tsk discount Little House clothing, your sexist idiocy, the fact that your next baby should call a cab, not an obstetrician, your weirdly culty, Marilyn Monroe whisper deferment voice, your spray-on 1950s candidate hair, your horrifying food choices, your idiotic names, your inability to spell said idiotic names (Jinger? Really? Do you not understand that's pronounced 'gin-gurr'?), and the fact that you actually live with all of that in Arkansas. Oh yes I will.

Well...they also believe that man and dinosaurs coexisted.

LOL, of course not. It just amazes me how quick people are to pass judgment on the Duggars. Really. Why them? Do they sit here and judge all other types of people and cultures throughout the world too?

As a side note - me thinks that a lot of the posters here with thousands upon thousands of posts in a few short years, may need to get out more too.

Hmmm ... you're upset that others are judging the Duggars yet you can judge others here based on their post count? Pot kettle black much? (Note my post count is nowhere near the thousands upon thousands you talk about)

Back to the Duggars...

I guess if Michelle were to die during or as the result of this pregnancy/childbirth, it would be God's will, just like the pregnancies are (to them). Except for the emotional pain of losing their mother, surely the older girls could pick up where she left off, since they know everything about running the household and raising the younger kids. I'm not trying to trivialize the importance and love of Michelle in the family...she is their mother...but the house wouldn't fall apart if something happened to her. If a child were born with disabilities, then it's God's will as well.

Now JimBob...not so sure about him. Not sure what their religious beliefs are about dealing with one's urges, sans spouse, and he certainly seems to have them. A lot.

Was Michelle's "baggage" when she met him that she had KISSED another boy(s)? I didn't think he got specific. I had had the impression it was more than that.

And thinking back, I thought Josh's (is that his name?) wedding was a little creepy. That first kiss of his...yech. And the talk beforehand from his father...creepy. Maybe because JimBob kind of creeps me out anyway. Just sayin'.

I'm pretty sure it was just the fact that she had dated someone before him.

Hhmmm...wonder what that entailed. My DD's former college roommate "dated" the hockey team.

Yesterday I read this interesting snippet regarding Josh and Anna's wedding. It's written by Anna's brother in law.

He addressed the whole "talk" Jimbob had with Josh too. Sounds like it was staged just for ratings.

Maybe they don't count to 7 billion in their homeschool............

Wow. That was extremely interesting reading. Thanks for posting it. I have a real problem with these "reality" shows and their canned scenes. Anna's BIL sounds like a great guy!

OMG - hysterical!!!

ROTFL!!! I wonder if Michelle "dated" the hockey team, too?

I thought that the part with the two of them watching the "What to expect when it comes to marital sex" video (that Jimbob gave them) in the limo was rather cringeworthy myself!

I'm so curious to know which of the kids is going to run from their parents beliefs and do whatever the heck they want. I would love to see one of them go head to head with them. I would think it would be impossible to have 20 kids be all so compliant with their crazy rules (like no dancing!)...

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

I'm pretty sure it wasn't like that.

I know. j/k But "dating" can entail a wide range of activity. I just wonder what his objections were. That she went out for a coke after a game, or ________?

I'm guessing JimBob and his ilk don't subscribe to the thought you have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince.

 

[pigletgirl]

Speaking of dating, did they say JimBob knows more than his own girls what he is looking for in a guy for his own girls? What a controlling freak. Seriously.

Wasn't it? I found it very insightful since he (the brother in law who wrote it) came from the same religious background...Gothard, ATI and all that. Yet he and his wife (Anna's sister) don't adhere to it anymore.

It definitely shows that TLC can do what they want, doesn't it? I mean seriously, if you have *tell* Jimbob to have "the talk" with Josh just so you can get it on camera?? I'm guessing that ol' JB already had that talk with Josh anyway, it probably had something to do with him lamenting Michelle's checkered past...she kissed another boy BEFORE him! Oh the horror, she was probably labeled the town tramp for crying out loud (the way JB talks about it I mean!)

And honestly, what are the chances that there are 20 kids and not one of them is gay? I'll admit I haven't really watched the show much, but have they addressed their beliefs on homosexuality at all? I'm just curious if they had a gay child, if it would come out or not because of their parents.

I think someone already mentioned on here, that 10% of the population is homosexual, so for them that would be 2 of them are. I would hope they would arise above the label and love their child unconditionally as a parent should. Ugh, I hope they wouldn't shun them away...but I have a feeling that might be a possibility and they would try to "fix" the homosexuality.
