puellapaschalis Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosieranna Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I occasionally check in on them, raise my eyebrows and go "uh-huh...," and hurriedly leave again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puellapaschalis Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credo in Deum Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I have no clue who these people are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosieranna Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossCuT Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 That family is wack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puellapaschalis Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 I have no clue who these people are. Mega-family from Arkansas (I think). 19 kids (+2 miscarriages). 3 grandchildren so far. 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. 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.

PhuturePriest Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Who cares? I'm bored and lonely with nothing to do, and I don't even care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veritasluxmea Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Ugh, the quiverfull movement. Anti-Catholic and can be seriously abusive. It's like anti-contraception protestants gone wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
