Duggar Religious View VS Amish Religious View

I think this could be an interesting discussion, but one I'm willing to moderate I decided.  I'm going to put this one up on the Free Discussion blog.  Enjoy.

Duggars in People and Star August 23, 2010 Issues

I don't know about the Duggars, but if my wife and baby almost died, that would be a message from God for a vasectomy (since they obviously enjoy sex) or actually PRACTICE NBC; their rules actually BEG for a horny husband during the abstinence for 4 to 5 days each month of the cycle and 7 day cleansing. No wonder he's such a horndog and it's set up to be pretty much right at ovulation time.

It's no wonder they have so many kids.

Why We Have to Have Rules

From our dear friend anonymous:

I don't understand why everyone is so rude to the Duggar family in this blog. They are good Christian people who had a tragic experience and chose to stop using birth control. They provide love, religion and all the necessities of life to all of their children. These people work hard to make sure their children have good character and love for Jesus. If any of you other bloggers can't say anything nice, just don't make a post. They are a wonderful family and our world should be more like the Duggars.

Josie Is Home - Again

People article.

People article June 28.

Just a note from me: we are not sending comments about milk allergy through as lactose intolerance is not the same thing as a milk allergy.

Episodes in the Next Season

During the show hiatus, things naturally get quieter yet TWoP Howard seems to have banned speculation about episodes in the new season on the TWoP thread. If you want to talk about where the Duggars have been seen that may appear in an episode, suggest a good episode, etc, this is the spot.

Compare Yourselves to The Duggars

How are you like the Duggars? How are you different from the Duggars? Suggested topics are clothes, food, religion, parenting choices, patriarchal/matriarchal roles and education. Or whatever relates or does not relate to you. Let's keep this a no-snark topic please.

Thanks to Celestie for her suggestion.

How We See Things Differently by Anonymous

Normally this kind of comment would not go through as it's a perfect example of "boards on boards." However, since the show is on hiatus, this may be a reasonable time to talk about why people see things differently. Please remember to be respectful of other commenters and their right to disagree or have different opinions.


I know some feel that various negative comments re the Duggars is "nit picking." I feel compelled to point out that if a person, or couple in this case, choose to hold themselves out as a very public example of how people should behave, then they must take the good with the bad.

The Duggars take money (quite a bit of money) for TLC to film their lives and present them to a television audience. They say they do this as part of their ministry. Some agree. Others, like myself, call it very convenient.

You never saw Mother Teresa on a reality tv show. She lived what she preached; i.e., in near poverty level, right down among those she was trying to help. I did not agree 100% with Mother Teresa's beliefs or philosophy, but I respected her deeply for truly living her convictions, without need for publicity or public affirmation. She truly exhibited modesty in all she did. (I also never heard of her once handing out pictures of herself to strangers, or signing a Bible. Maybe she did and I just missed hearing about it.)

By putting themselves into the public eye and accepting large monetary payments to do so, Mr. and Mrs. Duggar opened themselves up to all eyes, whether they be accepting and approving, critical and disapproving, or somewhere in between.

I fully support anyone's right to comment about how they perceive the Duggars. I would ask that others respect my right to post my own thoughts whether you find them nit-picky or not. Thank you :)

Questions for the Duggars

Do you or have you in the past spanked or used other corporal punishment on your children?

Do you vaccinate your children?

Do you give your children daily multi-vitamins?

When your children turn 18 do they then have non-restricted access to the internet?

When your children turn 18 are they then permitted to go anywhere alone, as opposed to always taking a sibling along for "accountability"?

For Josh.....does Anna have non-restricted access to the internet? (since, as per your wedding vows, when you got married "authority" over Anna passed from her Dad to you.)

Does TLC ay the Duggar family en masse?

News?

As they say on TwoP, please take turns driving the ISB (Idle Speculation Bus).

Exactly what is your question? My family is close friends with the Duggar's and the Bate's(the Bates have 17 kids and are expecting number 18). Their children are very well behaved and do exactly as their told. They are not neglected, left out or abused. They very much no how to handle their kids, who are becoming very well contributing citizens of this country. I really respect them and if they can handle it, why not have that many kids?

Keep watching the show because they are about to drop a huge bombshell- they told us last Sunday. GOD bless.

Question About Blogs

This question has been asked several times recently. I'm not sure if all the questions have been by the same person, but the question is why do GWoP and DWoP run differently if they are really under the same ownership? Yes, they are run by the mostly the same people. A couple of GWoP associated people do not choose to work on DWoP and that is fine.

The real difference is the attitude of the commenters and readers. So far the mods have not been treated to profanity and obscenity laced threats related to DWoP. Those started within the first few weeks on GWoP. The majority of commenters here comprehend that a positive comment about the Duggars does not involve an attack on the blog, the mods, or the other commenters. Of those who don't, all but a very few either leave or change their commenting style reasonably quickly.

Attacking someone or their comment isn't a positive comment. For example on GWoP, a "positive" comment is "You all are just jellus haters and need to get lifes. Leave Kate along." (Errors are theirs.) The Kate supporters can almost never muster a comment in support of her but normally only attacks against other people. Here most positive comments are along the lines of I admire the Duggars for how they manage their finances to remain debt free.

The amazingly few positive comments in support of Kate that are truly positive comments and not snide, sarcastic, or intended to start a flame war go through. I am very intolerant of flame wars so if there is even a hint that a comment will start one, out it goes. So the answer as to why the blogs are run differently is you, the dear readers and commenters here, who can usually disagree with grace, decorum, and dignity. Thank you!

Tues, May 25, Duggar Home Alone

It?s a rare opportunity to have any alone time when you have 19 kids! Michelle gets just that when Jim Bob takes the kids to the ATI Home School Conference in Big Sandy, Texas. Michelle stays behind to spend time with Josie, who is still at the hospital.

Today Show, Monday May 24 7 to 9 AM

Once again the Duggars are on the schedule for the Today Show. If they appear we'll leave this topic up. If they don't, we'll close it to comments or remove it. So far theories have ranged from "the big/bombshell" announcement to Josie has gone home again.

Tues, May 18, Duggars Go Wild

With a family as big as a pride of lions, it's no wonder the Duggars feel right at home in a zoo! Jim Bob and the kids monkey around when they visit the Little Rock Zoo. And on a visit to see Josie, Jim Bob and Michelle meet another preemie being treated.

Tues, May 11, Duggars at the Hospital

The Duggars clean up well! Jim Bob and a few of the Duggar kids head back to their home in Springdale, AR for some spring cleaning in preparation for Josie's homecoming. But when she has a setback, the family must reunite in Little Rock once again.
