The Duggar Family is pregnant AGAIN!

[aimee11621]

Michelle wouldn't continue to have children, if she actually had to cook, clean and raise them like a real mother does. She has become like a queen bee. All the workers around her are doing their "jurisdictions".


This is where the jurisdiction theory comes into play. The oldest daughter in charge of raising the infants, takes the role as mother.

The girls have gotten very good at mothering . They got nothing else to do . It must be a welcome change from the physical work of cooking and cleaning. But , regardless its a much more of an emotional chore.

What the heck would be on the calendar that would give the girls a clue? Fertility information? Expected ovulation dates? When she gets her period? Or, maybe she just announces it by penciling in the next due date.

I think we're getting carried away on this comment -- my guess is much simpler: OB appointments. I don't know about your OB, but mine sets up the dates for the first six months' appointments on the first obstetric visit. I'm sure all the older kids know the Obstetrician's name well by now.

Whoa. Those are some wild and crazy "rules" there. I had no idea they were that far out. I can only agree with one of his rules and It isn;t that I really "agree" with it but homeschooling doesn't bother me one way or the other.

I think this one bothers me the most: " ...diseases have a spiritual root".

Wait- the most shocking rule on that list to me is "No cabbage patch dolls"

what did they do to anyone!?

I was just going to say the same thing. Cabbage patch dolls? So Barbies (& any other dolls) are okay. {not that I'm against any dolls}

Well, depending your religous beliefs, some believe Cabbage Patch Dolls to be evil as well as Care Bears.

FYI... I don't believe any such thing. Had I had a daughter and she was interested in Cabbage Patch Dolls then I probably would have gotten her one. I however, have two boys and they used to love to watch Care Bears.

They were adopted.

Actually, is that really why? Because you DO adopt a Cabbage Patch Doll? I have no idea. That one didn't stick out to me because I don't care for Bratz dolls and I have a client who will own nothing Disney...

Well, I'm thinking if one of those 17 kids gets sick, will they think it is a curse from
God or something??? Or if this 18th baby is born with a problem, will it be a spiritual problem?
That is just a strange way to look at things. I just thought they were ultra conservative. I did not realize they were so cult like.

Gothard holds a general distrust of modern medicine; IBLP has an entire organization (Medical Training Institute of America) which publishes Basic Care Newslettersespousing Gothard's teachings on this subject (which have in some areas been criticized as "practicing medicine without a license", though Gothard has never been legally charged with such). Among the more controversial teachings in this area were his arguments against Cabbage Patch Kids. The January 1996 Basic Care Newsletter included testimonials from Gothard-linked midwives who argued that the act of having Cabbage Patch Kids or Treasure Trolls in one's home could lead to difficulties in conceiving or giving birth to a child.

Gothard provides strong advice about family relationships, primarily in the area of authority. A predominant theme in Gothard's teaching is that God-given authority provides followers a spiritual "umbrella" of protection, and that rejecting authority results in "holes in the umbrella" (i.e., vulnerability to spiritual attack). Wives are to submit to their [COLOR=orange! important][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][COLOR=orange! important][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]husbands[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] in all circumstances. Children, particularly unmarried ones, are to honor their parents even if they are adults and regardless of whether the parents are Christians. Unmarried adult children are to continue to live at home until marriage (or, if they never do marry, until the parents die; Gothard--who has never married--lived with his parents until their deaths). Although Gothard does not espouse arranged marriages, parents are encouraged to be integrally involved in their sons and daughters' pursuit of marriage and choice of a suitable spouse, and children should not marry without their parents' approval. Divorce is never acceptable for any reason, and a person who is divorced should seek (if possible) to reunite with their spouse, even if the divorce took place before the person became a Christian.


I could not follow this ruling... it's like living in the dim dark ages.

Of course. Because I can totally see how the presence of a Cabbage Patch kid can affect conception. Makes perfect sense.

Oh, come on Nutsy. You mean to tell me that your doctor never told you that Cabbage Patch Dolls have a 99.5% success rate as a contraceptive? Or that only doing squats after sex has been proven more effective? What kind of quack have you been going to?


(That was a joke btw. You have to be extra careful about those things these days.)

Well, after thousands of dollars paid to a specialist, all I had to do was get rid of the CPK and Treasure Trolls and I would conceive. Damn dolls coulda saved me a lot of time, trouble, and heartache. And I am still empty handed.

Of course. Because I can totally see how the presence of a Cabbage Patch kid can affect conception. Makes perfect sense.

Well, I thought they were looking at me kinda weird

That must be why mine didn't tell me, so he could take all my money and leave me emptyhanded. I think I will get rid of mine now. Wonder if they will keep me from being able to adopt a real baby

Cabbage Patch Kids or Treasure Trolls in one's home could lead to difficulties in conceiving or giving birth to a child.

You mean I have been wasting my time (and money) with BC, when I could have just bought a $30 doll and been done with it?

Now you tell me....
