Did they think we wouldn't notice 7-12 missing?? What the heck is going on? LOL
Perhaps episodes 8-12 was about Samuel's birth, so they scrapped them. Poor kid. He deserves a birth special just like the rest of them.
This is the wedding with the person who has the rings gets lowered down from the ceiling. Or in the pictures that I saw rappels down from the ceiling. I will say this again, a wedding is not a time for pranks!
I can understand people wanting to have a little fun at their wedding with wedding pranks. I can also understand people wanting to have their marriage in a church with a religious service. However, the two really don't go together. There is a certain amount of respect owed in churches, and having your ring rappelled from the ceiling doesn't honor that. I'm not suggesting that Christians can't have fun, or that people should always be dour and serious in churches, but there is a time and a place for all things. A sacred and dedicated space like the church sanctuary is not the place for pranks. If you want to have pranks in your wedding, do it outside in a park or in someone's home -- just not a consecrated sanctuary.
The episodes in between were probably definitely about Samuel, but what else? Very curious. Maybe they are saving them for next season ? I wonder if they filmed some of Anna's delivery as well and then had second thoughts. Not many pics of Samuel but also not too many of Mason either.
Willow I think maybe Jeremy and Jinger buying a house could be one episode. Maybe Jana's awesome garden area in the backyard. Austin and Joys overseas honeymoon. Possibly Jill's "sprinkle" before baby #2. The bridal showers of Joy and Kendra.
Maybe it is Derrick, and his issues with Jazz, that ended up with his film in the trash. I pretty much predicted that would happen. Derrick is bad. He is in the corner with Josh.
It has,always bothered me that they call the altar a stage!
They refer to the altar as a stage, IMO, because there is no altar. What would they put on it? They don't believe in any of the things that constitute an altar. So, they would gather in an auditorium-like facility. I agree that their churches don't resemble churches much. They should have a painting of Bill Gothard on the back wall of the stage since they live by his interpretations, don't you think?
Ellie on a Roll - Yes to all of those! I do hope they show Jinger and Jeremy's house. That would be interesting.
Something smells REALLY fishy in Duggarville! We have Joy marrying in May, Samuel born in July and Joe marrying in September. As we've seen, Joys wedding was shown last week. Now we have the season finale of Joe's wedding this week. HUH?! Um, what happened to Samuel birth episode?! Don't know about anyone else, but that tells me something is going on with either Derick, Jill or Samuel.
As for Derick? Maybe he finally finished having that final break with reality we've been watching the past year or two. Or, maybe tlc gave him his walking papers for picking on Jazz. Then again, could be his nutty, self-righteous twitter rants. As for Jill, many have speculated that her lack of prenatal care, prolonged labors and having such large babies have finally led to disaster. Did she have an emergency hysterectomy? If so, well, yes I feel bad for her. Why? Because of the cult and her wretched parents drilling into her that having babies for her "master" is her main function in life. Also, from what I see, Jill didn't drink the kool-aide, she guzzled it by the gallons! Maybe there are Zika issues going on? Why is Samuel wearing those mittens in 99% of photos? I haven't seen any Jill's siblings or Jimbob posing for all the usual pictures with Sam. No self serving videos with any family either announcing Sam's arrival. As a matter of fact, I don't think Jill was even out of the hospital when Boob and MEchelle went to Hawaii! Then the only pictures posted anywhere that I saw were those two nitwits in Hawaii. We didn't even see Samuel in PEOPLE magazine either. If the Dillard's and Duggars think they can hide what's going on with Samuel or his birth forever, they're wrong. "It" will come out one way or another! I do know this though - if Jill's arrogance in believing that she has some kind of special protection from God because she's a Duggar, I think there may be alot of backlash, and rightfully so. This family's arrogance and ignorance knows no bounds! Poor little Samuel. Poor Izzy too.
I happened to see on TLC's; "Say Yes To The Dress", a bride was getting married at this gorgeous almost all glass chapel in Arkansas. When they showed it, it was where Jessa got engaged to Ben, or at least I think it was that engagement, who can remember at this point in time. I remember they talked about how beautiful it was & they loved it but couldn't use it for the ceremony, because they couldn't fit 1,000 guests/people there. But Jessa still loved it & wanted it to be some part of her plans. It was a big, actually huge mistake, not to use that beautiful chapel. It was just lovely & I would have chosen it in a heartbeat.
Wedding pranks do not belong in any church, or house of worship. Save all that for the reception if it's held somewhere else. These very religious, godly people have no respect for anyplace they go. It doesn't matter if it's a church they are getting married in, or a special place in a Foreign country where they are traveling. Remember Jim Bob trying to get that guards at the palace in London to break into a smile or laugh a him, or Michelle getting upset because the man at Stonehenge spoke to her about all the kids running wild. She was angry because the highly intelligent man didn't understand that her children needed to "run off their energy." Josh deciding to lead everyone in a verse of "Amazing Grace" in Israel, in a sacred area where some people might want quiet while they said a prayer. They just take over. It was disgraceful that they had all that confetti in the church for Joy's wedding. There's no church I know of that would allow that. I'll bet TLC were the ones that paid for the clean-up of the confetti, if not the custodian could retire on what they would have had to pay him. They are a disgrace & not something that should be being idolized by fans because they had 19 kids which they didn't take care of & now feel they are entitled to anything they want, because they are celebrieties, at least in their own minds.
Amen, Ali!! I hope the Duggars read your post.
Thorncrown Chapel in Arkansas is lovely. We had planned to be married there,several yrs ago. I was there last month in fact. I doubt you could get 300 in it. It looked bigger on the show.
That actually makes sense that if Derick did something that 'Piffed' TLC they might have just set aside anything that starred the Dillard family whether it was about Jill delivering or the family meeting the baby or rehashing the worn out blips of Jill saying she is in love with someone she had never met, the meeting, the proposal, the Joe-down....I mean wedding...the announcement that she had conceived etc
Yes, Ali, perfectly said. Those trashy people and their stupid antics! Removing confetti is like getting unstuck from flypaper. And my mother would've knocked me flat if I had ever thought about RUNNING in the sanctuary, or even being loud. Most CHILDREN know better!
I don't think skipping episodes is anything more nefarious than pushing Joe's wedding out early. I expect we'll see those episodes in the second half of the season when it airs in a few months.
Let’s hope that this wedding being shown out of sequence is the result of canning DerDick and Jill.
I'll bet the farm that Kendra and Joe have a much classier reception after their wedding. After seeing Joy and Austin's reception spread of pretzels, pickles and popcorn, the bar has been set pretty low, actually really low. Like on the floor low. Seriously, I'm stunned at how tacky and cheap the food is at the Duggar girl's wedding receptions.
This is the chapel where Jessa got engaged: https://thorncrown.com/
I was a guest at a wedding there several years ago, and it is indeed lovely, but it will seat about 100 people, tops.
I saw an ad for Joe & Kendra's wedding & it appears they went the same route with the confetti in the sanctuary of the church. You would think that with her dad being a preacher, they would know better. There's a time & a place for everything & this isn't the place for confetti. I would consider it sacrilegious. Many, many couples who don't consider themselves particularly religious have ceremonies at the beach or at many other venues. If you're so religious & godly that you want your ceremony in a church then keep it a sacred ceremony. That means no confetti. It's a wedding not a circus!
I almost threw a brick at the tv after JimBob told Joe to make sure he praises Kendra ten times a day. Good Lord, JimBob! Kendra is your son's wife, his love! Your daughter-in-law! The mother of more of your grandchildren! SHE'S NOT A GOLDEN RETRIEVER!
TripleLutz.s comment reminded me that Michelle has always said she praises her children many times a day & that you should always praise them publicly.
Kendras dress was pretty, definitely princess-y which suits her naive fundie-girl personality. The guy dropping from the ceiling to deliver the ring was just ridiculous. These Duggar wedding antics are just so over-played. I thought the greenery and flower covered cross at the stage was pretty. MEchelles hair wasnt the usual 1980's rats nest mess, her dress was ok but she was sporting her usual black clod hopper orthopedic shoes which look like she swiped them from a dead clown. They dropped rose petals as they had thier first kiss, and then the power went out as they too ran up the aisle after Kendras dad introduced the new couple. Not sure why these Duggars need to run up the aisle..I think JillyMuffin started that one.
The rappelling guy was ridiculous. If it were my wedding, I would be so annoyed. There are occasions in life that are meant to be serious and special,it was inappropriate. Also, I know he was kidding, but the joke by Kendra's dad about how much it cost to raise Kendra and asking for a dowry payment seemed to reinforce the idea of her being a piece of property. It bugged me. Kendra does seem sweet but so young.I hope they wait to get pregnant, but doubt that will happen.
I thought this was a truly lovely wedding! So much more "classic" than the girls' weddings.
Beautiful church---I love that Pachebel's Canon was playing before the ceremony, and that Kendra walked down the aisle to Here Comes the Bride. I believe that those were rose petals that were released after the vows.
Loved Kendra's father combination of emotion and humor before they walked up the stairs for the ceremony--Kendra and her father seem so truly loving to each other, and his words about what a precious gift Kendra is, and how he and her mother had cared for her and raised over the years.
Looked like far fewer people, and real food. Loved the sparklers as they left.
Not a fan of running down the aisle , and the whole wedding party running, too. Don't understand that part.
All in all, tho--a beautiful ceremony. Kendra looked radiant. Joe's emotion as her watched her walk down the aisle was very touching.
Boy I'll bet Jim Bob was piss..d off when Kendra's dad gave the tribute to her just before the ascended to the sanctuary. It was nice for a change to hear a dad speak so lovingly about his daughter. I also noticed how tight her mom hugged her & then kissed her. Kendra kept telling her dad how very much she loved him.
I admit I watched most of it. I usually don't get that channel, but curiosity won out. Kendra greeted everyone in the bridal room, Jill seemed very cold to her- perhaps due to her and Derick getting kicked out of the Mcmansion? Kendra's dad speech at the beginning was cute and maybe a subtle warning if you hurt my girl then I am coming after you? Michelle's hair and dress was nice. Jim Bob's comments about praising Kendra was not. The ring rappelling from the rafters was corny and inconsiderate for a church as was the running up the aisles. The power going out was almost ironic. There was a shot of the front pew where Michelle and Jim Bob sat with Grandma and then toward the other end was 2 young kids. I thought the girl was Jordyn(it could have been McKenzie, I never can tell them apart)and the boy was one of Josh's kids so maybe they made Josh and Anna move so they weren't in the shot? Once again Jana was the one helping with the sewing and the corsage pinning. Jessa did help with hair. Cindy was nice when they interviewed since she explained what she was doing in a clear calm voice instead of how most of the duggars speak with like, um, yeah words.
Some Thoughts.
So very thoughtful of Joe to write a letter to each sibling.
Why was "Miss Renee" standing there in the room while Kendra and her mom and dad were having a special moment, but was nowhere to be found when the bottom of Kendra's dress had to be sewn back on?
JimBob and Michelle's advice to Joe was generic and like someone else said, like that to a child...praise your wife 10 times a day? We already know that Joe and Kendra were strict to the two times a day (3 seconds only!) side hug rule, so I can only imagine they will be counting daily their praises of each other. They're going to spend all day praising and get nothing else done! Then again, what in the world does Joe do?
The stunt from the roof...this isn't "Mission Impossible!" Not that they would know what that is.
I liked that it was a smaller wedding.
Why is Kendra's mom identified as "Christina" but her dad is always "Pastor Caldwell"? Does he not have a first name?
Thank goodness for Jana! She thought to bring a sewing machine to the church!! For goodness sakes! There she was on the floor in her bridemaid's dress, sewing Kendra's dress back together. She applied makeup to Joe's scab when it seems no one else thought or cared about that. What else did she do that they didn't show? She really seems to do it all. No wonder J and M won't let her go! I so wish she could live her own life and do what *she* wants to do.
The decorations of the church were much nicer than for Joy's wedding. That was so sparse and sad. Not impressed by Joy's wedding, Miss Cindy. You and "Jer" stepped it up this time.
More thoughts.
Poor Joe, to have to wait to 22 to have a kiss. Let's not even talk about poor Jana and John-David.
Yes, agreed that Jill seemed cold to Kendra. I don't think that Jill is really warm to anyone though.
Loved that Joe got emotional when he saw Kendra walking down the aisle. I think he's got a sweet personality, he's just really reserved/shy.
Again, where was "Miss Renee" when Kendra was about to walk down the aisle and Kendra's sister had to fix her train just before walking down the aisle herself.
Do people really have a baby and then begin praying that that baby will get married, as JimBob and Michelle claim to have?
Pastor Caldwell's (because he seemingly doesn't have a first name other than Pastor) speech before beginning the ceremony was well done. It was sincere, humorous, loving. That said, when he was speaking about his wife and how great she is, there was no mention of intelligence. She is a great wife and very good at cooking and raising kids but these fundies never mention intelligence. Why am I not surprised?
Kendra doesn't ever seem to react without a laugh. She laughs first and then responds. I hope that fades as she becomes older/more confident and aware of who she is. She does seem like a nice girl.
Does Joe not know that it's "I thee wed" not "I be wed"?
Totally thought the power outage was another stunt.
So glad the Duggars seem to have dropped the trashing of the couple's get away car since we haven't seen that in the last few weddings. Didn't see them drive away this time.
Wishing Joe and Kendra well!
How many wedding has Michelle worn that dress to now? Is this the 3rd? Jim Bob had that same old tired light gray suit again..
I gave in and watched. I felt like this was (except for the drop down rings and running down the aisle) the very best wedding. Kendra's parents seem so real and sincere. It seemed like *gasp* they truly know AND care for their daughter! She is not a number to them but a person. It also gave me much hope that they will be a positive influence on Joseph and Kendra since they are so young. Jim Bob and Michelle seemed more fake than ever - they could have given that "special one on one" talk to a stranger! Do they not have any real feelings for their children? Poor Joe.
My favorite part was Joe leaving a letter for each of his siblings. It was this completely honest, kind moment that I feel like defines him. Out of all of the brothers he does seem to be the most calm, level headed, and kindest. Kendra does seem like a sweet young lady and I hope that they enjoy marriage.
Also, I know they can't show Josh but can they not show Anna now? During the hairpin scene - it was obviously (big pregnant belly) Anna helping her but they edited it so strangely so we didn't see her.
Joe seemed to really go in eager for that first kiss. It reminded me of a vampire on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" going in for a bite. Then he said it was the best kiss ever- he's only had one so I wasn't sure if he was joking about that or not.
I think they were going to "test" the waters on Josh, and even hardcore fans were offended. I bet some editing magic happened.
For the love of God, Kendra must STOP THE GIGGLING!! It drove me nuts to listen to her giggle and giggle and giggle and giggle. And how long will Josh be in the land of make believe? They pretend he doesn't exist anymore. Would people really be offended to see the man present at his siblings weddings? I get that he is a creepy dude, but doesn't everyone have a creepy uncle or someone who shows up at family events? Josh is a douche, but the editing to avoid any glimpse of his balding head is annoying.
Adding to my comments about the wedding from yesterday:
I was prepared to not like Joe, as TLC portrays the Duggar "boys" as somewhat slow and ignorant when they ask them all those dumb questions in the talking heads sections.
However, he seems sweet and kind of shy, and he won me over with his reaction to seeing Kendra come down the aisle.
From the beginning of the episode, poor Joe's hair looked pretty bad. :-( Very short on the side (at least one side) and that long Superman curl in the center. (there is a video of him with Kendra on the family website entitled "pre-wedding picnic" where his hair looks much better and darker with longer sideburns, etc.)
Anyway, where were all his sisters? his mother? to make sure he looked good??? The curl could have been cut a little, or one of his sisters could have used a little gel to comb it more to the side, covering his forehead more.
Thank goodness Jana was there to try to cover the red mark on his nose, but they were alone (I think) in that hallway. I definitely remember pinning my son's groom boutonniere on him as one of my last motherly duties before he became a married man. I WANTED to do that! And both of us were tearing up. Again, Jana (not his mother) stepped in to do that. Makes me sad for him. :-(
Loved that "Butterfly Kisses" was played, but more appropriate for a father-daughter dance (tho I think they don't dance?)than during the lighting of the unity candle.
I'm thinking the courtship-engaged-pre-wedding "line" for the boys is, as Joe said : "I have been waiting for this day all of my life." (The girls'seems to be "I'm marrying Babe, my best friend.") My sons were too busy running around with their friends in the neighborhood, playing drums in the school band, participating in sports, going to college, to give that much thought to a wedding day, which to me, was TOTALLY APPROPRIATE.
Wishing them much love and joy, no matter what!
I guarantee with the numbers up for viewers, Jim Bob will find someone to marry off sometime very soon. Once he realized this was the ticket to increased viewership, (make that money) he ran with it. Anything that brings in money to him, he'll find a way to continue it. I have no idea who will be next, as I don't think anyone is ready for marriage but I didn't think Joy or Joe were ready for marriage & yet it happened. So who knows?
A few thoughts about the wedding....Kendra is adorable, but yes, that laugh! I thought her dress looked really lovely on her. As for MEchelle, other than that old makeover episode, I've never seen her wear her hair different like she had it. It was a nice change, but she still needs to be on the business end of some scissors. Would like those black shoes of hers to find the trash barrel. Surely there are more attractive orthopedic shoes if she has a medical condition. I don't know if anyone remembers that hideous silver fish scales MEchelle wore to Jill or Jessa's wedding, but that is what grandma Mary's blush/whitish colored dress reminded me of sad to say. Even worse? The darts at the chest on Mary's dress kind of puffed out exactly where you would NOT want them to! As for JBoob and MEchelle and their advice to Joe? I agree with what others say, he's not praising his dog! I guess JB and MEchelle had to come up with something to get their camera time. I'd say the best part of this particular wedding was that it wasn't solely focused on the Duggars for a change. All in all I thought it was a nice wedding, except for that silly shenanigan with the ring. If I could add one thing to the program, I would've liked to see how Kendra and Joe ended up moving into the mansion pool house next door to the tin mansion. Would like to know where Jill and Derelict are now living and why they moved out of the pool house mansion. I know Derelict is in that year long missionary program, but I think he will be there in Arkansas for the most part.
Does anybody know what food they served at the reception? Was it the same old snacks they usually do?
I actually enjoyed watching this wedding. Kendra does giggle too much but can't help but like her sweet personality. She looked adorable and Joe's response upon seeing her was priceless. You can tell he is really in love with her. Loved almost everything about the wedding except for the ridiculous ring drop and running up the aisle. Sweet tender moments between Kendra and her parents, not like the awkward side hugs and "pithy" advice from Michelle and JB.
Some other commenters mentioned a certain coldness from Jill. I have a feeling that Jill and Jessa are used to the limelight and don't like it when a non-Duggar girl is in it since it was Kendra's day.
Yes, it would be nice if Kendra and a Joe would experience married life together for a few years before having children but alas, I don't think that will happen. I expect that she will be pregnant before the first wedding anniversary or even have a child by then.
I still think Jinger's wedding was the best but IMO, Joe's is a definite second. I loved the attendants' dresses. I would love if we could hear just a little of the musical numbers, if there are any. I would also like to see a little more coverage of the wedding party, either coming in or going out. I don't think we even saw all of the Duggars in this wedding.
Time to get Jana courting...who will do everything if she gets free?
Jennnmo: Sorry but I don't want to see any part of Josh Duggar on any show. If they include him in family events thats up to them, but if he is shown TLC has to pay him and in my mind that equals condoning what he did, almost like he is profting from his crimes. I am sure many more feel the same way.
Mickey2942: This is why Jana is not courting....who would do everything? Certainly not Michelle....who, BTW, should have been stepping up in to the mother/head of the kitchen role long ago...at least when Jill got married and left.
I think MIchelle's hair looked awfully flat and homemade. Her hair was not a winner again. Neither was that tired old dress that she has worn before.
Weddings are of interest to Duggar fans, and births. Must keep up the ratings! JB is probably already planning more of his pack to get courting. Seems like the courtship time frame is getting considerably shorter.
Now, why isn't Jinger pregnant yet? doesn't she know she needs to do her part for the ratings?!
Re:Patti's question about what food was served at the wedding. I didn't see the food itself but did see large aluminum pans on one of the tables & Josiah said when the lights went out; "well at least the food is hot." So I assume there was more than pretzels etc.
JENNMO - you're wondering if any viewers would be offended to see Josh at his siblings weddings. His siblings were his victims, therein lies the problem! I think many would be offended to watch any molester have to share ANY space with the victims. A good analogy? A rapist who decides to act as his own attorney at trial. That means the rapist gets to question his own victim. I also get that Josh was not accused of rape, but no victim of any type of sexual abuse should be forced into the company of their abuser. What's just as bad is that the Duggars beliefs force the girls to forgive him.
I do think Kendra's mom is very attractive. She & her husband the "Pastor" make a nice looking couple.
Was Josh a groomsman standing off to the far right (when facing the stage)? If not, those were some odd camera angles.
Yes, when I said we didn't get to see all the Duggars, I certainly did not mean I wanted to see Josh. I agree he should not be seen. Bad enough he is even there. However, I guess, if they banned him from weddings, Anna and the kids would not get to go either. What a situation he has put them all in.
Yep he was there smugging it up! In the photograph of the bridal party pulling faces I think he was standing to the right beside Jill but was cropped out of the published picture, no one wants to see him.
Joe didn’t look too happy about Josiah’s immature prank.
I just watched the episode and I could've sworn I saw a video of a wedding where the father a very very similar speech to his daughters groom that Pastor Caldwell gave when he walked Kendra down the aisle.
I feel the wedding ceremony was ruined with the Las Vegas type delivery of the ring. How disrespectful to pull that at a religious wedding ceremony and totally surprise the bride and groom. This is nonsense for a reception. It was rude and crude of Pastor Caldwell to comment on the cost of raising Kendra. Also, did he and his wife really look at her as a baby and think about her being married? Why not think about educating her so she could be independent and useful for something other then serving a husband and producing babies. What work does Joe do that will enable him to provide for a family? Did I hear that once he sold a car?
My favorite part was Joe saying, “With this Wing-uh, Ring, I be wed.”
Please don't tell me that now Joy and Kendra, who are both only 19 years old have better standing and status than 27 year old Jana simply because they are married and Jana is not. I hope Jana gets to sit at the grown up table for Thanksgiving, IF they even have a table and eat as a family, which I doubt.
You are correct. I just watched this and BARELY saw Derick on the other end of the pew from the SIL holding baby Sam. Ben was wrangling Spud at the beginning but disappeared by the end and Ben was next to his boyfriend Jeremy. I’m telling ya’ll Derick is the odd man out with Ben and Jeremy.
Saw Anna for a second, didn’t see the kids at all, didn’t see Josh at all. Josie disappeared the same time Spud and Ben did.
Why did Josie have two black eyes at the beginning of the show? She looks terrible. The more sister moms the little girls lose the worse the little girls look.
Didn’t see much if Jill either, didn’t see Israel at all.
Saw Ben Seewalds mom for a second, didn’t see Henry. Maybe they had a nursery however I thought the cult kids were so be behaved they could sit through a 40 minute service.
Ugh the shoes
Grandma wore the same hideous dress Michelle wore to Jill’s wedding just in a different color.
I know most of you disagree but Joe quivering at the alter was downright weird to me. And how long has it been since we have seen the boys dormitory ? What a MESS. There are ten of them ( now nine there) yuck what a mess.
Wait a minute, second row behind Michelle row in front of Derick was a sad girl watching a bunch of kids, were those Joshs kids?
Joe is such a doofus. Quiet, sweet, stupid and no career. Pride of the Quiverfull!!!!!
Jimbob.....buy Michelle a pair of orthopedic dressy shoes. It was shocking to see her in that much used blue formal dress with the clunky Herman Munster shoes on her feet. What's up with those ugly shoes? JB can afford 6 airplanes but Mullett wears those hideous shoes to her son's wedding.
I'm so tired of hearing about the first kiss. Big deal. Makes you wonder how the can handle sex.
Derick is definitely in a time out. He was in a corner pre with Samuel.
The “cool” SIL Ben and Jeremy were dealing with a wiggling Spud and by the end Ben and Spud disappeared. Ben has a man crush on Jeremy lol and Derick is the odd man out, they don’t like him they have nothing in common with him. The scene last year when Jill and Derick visited Jessas house and the men were forced to interact, that’s exactly what happened, they were forced to interact.
Why did Josie look like she had two black eyes?
Grandma wore the same dress Michelle wore to Jill’s wedding and Michelle wore the same dress as the last three weddings with Frankenstein shoes. JB finally got a new suit and once again, why don’t they wear tuxedos? I know suits are “in” but the cheap wrinkled suits from Jill’s first wedding were the worst.
There was a babysitter sitting in a pew in front of Derick with I think Joshs kids, she was having s blast.
Josh didn’t molest Joe that we know of so why is he hidden? It’s time to ease him back into events.
He had no business in the girls weddings and the grooms should have really protested to Josh, but a brothers wedding is differential
Lol, me too. He seems so innocent and bumbling.
You know what Willow? I blame Jimbob and MEchelle alot more than I blame Josh. Had they done the right thing with the law, Josh's police record would've been sealed forever because he was a minor. Won't even mention how they failed their daughters!
Yes, Jim Bob Duggar can afford Michelle a nice pair of DRESS SHOES for weddings. I think it's more due to Michelle's bad taste rather than the moths in Jim Bob's wallet that's responsible for that fashion faux pas. Queen of Frump is Michelle Duggar all the time.
I saw on another web posting that after Samuel's birth, Derek and Jill asked for her TLC money from Jimbob and this caused a falling out. The bills from Jill and Samuel's medical situation, Derek losing his missionary position in Danger America and other expenses plus the Go-fund me/ begging for money scandal. So this would explain why Jill's parents took their vacation to Hawaii during Jill and Samuel's medical crisis and the Dillard's being kicked out of the McMansion.
I'm betting the reason why we haven't seen the birth of Jill's second child is Derek didn't agree with a home birth to save money. Things went horribly wrong during Jill's 20-30-40 hour (?) labor and Jimbob and Michelle wanted Jill to tough it out at home. So they probably ended up with a huge medical bill for at least a week in the hospital plus a c-section. Anyone that knows who the Duggars are, know they're worth over a million so they would need to pay the medical bills.
I also get the vibe that Jimbob and Michelle resent Jeremy for an array of things but I'm betting he had Jinger (and rightfully so!) ask for the money she has earned from the tv shows, books, magazine covers and stories, wedding specials, interviews, etc. and this planted the seed in the other married Duggar girls to ask for their money, too. This would explain Jessa's name on the deed for the mold house back in June.
Aunt Bea, Kendra and Joy are now grown ups because they get to have sex. Jana does not. Sick and twisted cult! Jana probably has more knowledge, common sense, and talent than all the women in that family combined. It is just ashame how they think.
Stephanie from Virginia: I have to say your last two paragraphs stopped me in my tracks. Do you really think that just because Josh didn't touch his brothers he should be allowed back on the show? If the family want to include him in their weddings that is up to them, they say they have forgiven him and it is their prerogative but he should never be allowed back on the show. Josh committed crimes and never saw any lawful punishment for them, he has never taken any personal accountability for what he did, instead choosing to blame the devil, and paint himself as a victim and file a lawsuit claiming as much. If he is allowed back on the show it sends a message that it is ok to commit horrible crimes you just get put on the naughty step for a short timeout and then are allowed to prentend and act like nothing happened. If the Duggars have really forgiven him why do they not insist TLC shows the weddings unedited, the reason is simple they go along with it because they know it would end the show and they would loose the money they earn from it. Same with the girls lawsuit, they didn't want Josh to attach himself to their suit as they knew it would jeopardise their chances of winning, and any payout that they might be awarded. If they have really forgiven him they would tell TLC its all of us or no show, but somehow I don't see that happening anytime soon, its hypocrisy at its best!
I think Michelle wears the orthopedic shoes and ugly clothes, because Jim Bob is already demanding lots of sandwiches. Think what he'd be like if she looked hot.
Ellie: I read your post about the girls and their TLC money. What I don't understand is if Jinger asked for her TLC money and they obviously gave it them (explains the nice house, etc), Jessa had the money ($100,000 ) to buy the mold house from Grandma, why would they be angry with Jill for asking for her money?
I also can't believe that Grandma Duggar actually CHARGED Ben and Jessa for that old house she has owned for decades! For heaven's sake, it's her granddaughter. These people are ruthless with money even between themselves. Knives are hidden under their table if you ask me...watch out when you're eating over there.
I think it is very sad the the Duggars believe that they are representing Christianity, when in reality they are involved in a cult that believes one's sole purpose in life is to produce as many babies as possible. God does not put people in a box like this. Not everyone is called to marry and have children. Derick seems to me to be very arrogant and dogmatic. He is very immature and should be studying the bible not spouting statements of his own opinion on twitter. His marriage cant be going well. I don't think Jessa is much better. Right now she is in a happy place because she married a boy she can boss around and she is giving birth as fast as possible. But reality will soon set in. I also believe these girls more than likely have suppressed emotional issues from being molested by their brother at an early age. Just the fact that none of them acknowlege it and pretend that they were asleep all the time when it happened is a huge red flag. Its a facade that will someday crumble.
$100,000 is all those girls are entitled to from all those years? Derrick is an accountant and probably did the math. He probably figured Jill was owed more than that. I am talking about back pay from when they were young on the show. I am sure they receive their own check now, or hopefully they do! Maybe JB thought the mcmansion would compensate for the money he owed Jill. He is a smart man. Let them live there, but he still owns it.
How can the Dillards be begging for money when they have years of married life on TLC and she has her childhood TLC money? Could be the reason Delusional married her, aside from the celebrity he craves. Somewhere he posts he's worked at school or jobs for 23 years but when? He was off wandering around in Asia when he wormed his way into the Duggar clan, then had a Walmart job for a few months before God told him to do vaca/missionary "work" on donations in CA. Now he's fooling around at the Cross Church, dancing & posting crazy stuff on social media, watching ball games and touring Washington, DC. Do these people ever stop stretching the truth?
So, is Derrick so toxic they have canned the footage with him, and his family?
Of course Derrick is toxic, a loose cannon who cannot keep his mouth shut. The guy needs to grow up, stop reliving his college days, stop demeaning his toddler son and get a real job, not fooling around with young people at the church, calling him self a missionary when in reality, he's a delusional, egotistical, self serving man.
Does anyone have any insight into the custom of running out of the church after being married? Even Kendra's dad made a comment about would she be able to run in her wedding dress!!!! I agree with others' comments that it is disrespectful in a church, but also it seems really childish.
It just looks stupid when they take off running. I did watch Jill and Derick's wedfing and thought they looked like hillbillies when they made that
Silly mad dash down the aisle.
Was this another of Sierra, the wedding planners Goofball ideas?
Since I don't watch anymore I didn't know if Jinger made the immature sprint back down the aisle. Anyone know
Aunt Bea....I read that Jessa and Ben only paid grandma $1.00 for that house. I cannot remember where I read it, but I do remember it seemed credible enough that I believed it. I have a very hard time believing tightwad Boob gave those kids money that would rightfully be theirs. Maybe Jinger and Jeremy insisted they be paid by TLC instead of Boob when they got married. They also could've demanded PEOPLE MAGAZINE cut them a check instead of Boob collecting it for their wedding coverage. So between TLC and PEOPLE MAGAZINE paying Jinger and Jeremy for covering their wedding, they would've had enough to buy a house and probably a few bucks to spare.
They paid closer to $100K for the house. $1.00 and other consideration is standard legaleze for house selling in Arkansas. You have to look at all the documents not just the deed transfer to see how much money changed hands.
Elspeth: Great to see your comment. Yes, the Seewalds paid Grandma Duggar $100,000 for that house. It's in the paperwork which I looked up on the internet. I can't believe Mary Duggar charged her granddaughter for that house. I don't think Mary needed that money. Having said that, I think they are all ruthless when it comes to the Almighty Dollar.
Elspeth: Do you have anything else to tell us about the Duggar family? Do you know who "Alice" is/was? Thank you as always for visiting us here.
I am not a deeply religious person but I feel it was sacrilegious to pull that stunt with the ring, in the church. As a matter of fact, it would be anywhere, as a wedding is not a circus for peoples entertainment, it's two people committing the rest of their lives under God, in a service in a church, performed by a pastor. The confetti was bad but the ring arriving in that manner was a positive disgrace. It seemed to me that Kendra's family was unaware that the ring would arrive in that way. I wonder if the pastor would have put a stop to it if he knew about it in advance. Running out of the church was no surprise, as it seems they have included it in most of their wedding ceremonies. The Duggars are truly idiots if they think this is appropriate for a wedding ceremony. They are supposed to be such religious & holy people but there they were laughing & clapping at that disgusting stunt with the ring. Of course, they still won't allow dancing or that type of celebrating, so they come up with this cheap trick. Guess this is how Jim Bob & Michelle taught them to celebrate, rather than some music & dancing.
