All right, who follows the adventures of the Duggars here?

 

(Or rather, who's prepared to admit to doing so?)

 

So after Jill got married earlier this year, now Jessa and Ben are engaged.

I am a follower of their adventures, though I do not like the constant news updates of yet another Duggar girl falling out of my grasp.

I occasionally check in on them, raise my eyebrows and go "uh-huh...," and hurriedly leave again.

I'm not sure they'd ever be within your grasp, to be honest. This Ben Seewald here has been spewing some serious anti-Catholic stuff recently.

Are you not of the quiverful movement yourself, then?

I'm familiar with and appreciate ToTB.  That said, and speaking very generally, a lot of Quiverfull folks are also millenarian dominionists who believe that extreme patriarchy is the only way to run a family.  So much baggage (see Vision Forum & Institute in Basic Life Principles) is associated with the movement that they're hard to untangle.

I have no clue who these people are.

 

Mega-family from Arkansas (I think). 19 kids (+2 miscarriages). 3 grandchildren so far.

Agreed on that last bit; the recent scandals have made it very interesting to see how these families deal with and adapt to their figureheads being exposed.

Ugh, the quiverfull movement. Anti-Catholic and can be seriously abusive. It's like anti-contraception protestants gone wrong.
