Questions - There Are Questions
I'm genuinely curious. For a website titled, "Duggars without pity," why are there so many posters who seem determined to defend each and every move the Duggars make, and each and every single comment that is critical? I see comments where single sentences are quoted from another poster and the sole purpose is to "prove" that the original poster is wrong. It strikes me that the name of the blog is not "In relentless support of the Duggars." I read the posting guidelines and didn't see anything that addressed this issue.

Dear Mat7 and any other nasty commenters
Dear Mat7,
Before you send this or any other blog a nasty comment, please look in the mirror and realize that you are being a hypocrite. You don't wish to read anything negative about the Duggars, yet you feel free to be judgemental and hateful about anyone with whom you disagree. People do have different opinions and as long as one is civil they are free to discuss them here. No one here went out and attacked you. You ventured here and lambasted the entire blog. Your comment was not posted nor will any be posted that are without foundation, full of hatred and vitriole toward our readers, or are ad hominem attacks.
Thank you,
"The Management"

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

Online article here.
Link to Star.
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

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?
