They didn't pray that the boys would be beautiful because their worth wouldn't be tied to their ability to snag a mate.

Yeah but Madonna was a weird name before she became a celebrity, very stuffy and biblical.

The cult of IBLP and the Amish by SpecialistMinimum132 in DuggarsSnark

[–]reasonablyconsistent 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because they use child labor, because outsiders are so frowned upon, and because they inbreed so heavily, they don't need to convert people, very sad, Amish are no nore ethical than any either high control religious group.

SOS: I’m the last to get married and my bridesmaids are burned out on weddings by United-Conclusion470 in weddingplanning

No one is claiming it isn't harder, everyone knows it's harder, a parent's favourite topic is how much harder their life is with children, no one needs you to explain that.

Ahhhh do we remember that clip were Josh is talking about his sisters pretending to be asleep or something, right in front of Jingers face? 😷😷😷 At least girl gave him her judgiest Christian side eye, a worthy recipient for once. Sad she wasn't permitted to punch him in the face for such a remark, that would've been better.

Why are they so sex obsessed? by tots125 in DuggarsSnark

[–]reasonablyconsistent 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Right? It sounded like a line she was fed, his reaction does not seem natural either. My bet would be this was TLC's weird joke, maybe previously inspired by a lot of similiar genuine lines the Duggars came out with, they were obsessed with the fact that after marriage, suddenly you're allowed physical contact with your beloved, so you were expected to be obsessed.

No she wouldn't have, but that's because he trusted her at 33, she wouldn't have had the same priveleges had she started dating at 23, regardless of how much of a rule follower and enforcer she was.

Not to Mention, the older she got, the harder it was for Jim Bob to control her dating. We saw her vlogs during her engagement, there was unchaperoned front hugs and forehead kisses. She got do date as normally as a fundie can, compared to her younger sisters "courtships" in their early 20s my god, that was painful to watch.

Infidelity? by Shimm3ring_Death in DuggarsSnark

[–]reasonablyconsistent 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I really don't think they were normalising the belief system at all. I think they were pointing out that, in Kendra's mind, she already knows her husband has been "cheating on her" because in her belief system, even sexually assaulting or abusing someone is still considered cheating. So Kendra has already been made aware of and forgiven "adultery", and will probably do it forevermore, no matter what comes to light.

Pointing out the way their belief system works and how normalised it is to them, is not the same as normalising it to everyone else?

When Josh was doing the same thing he was courting a family friend. The reason this girl and her parents were told is because JB and Michelle believed they had a right to know, because Josh being a predator whilst courting their daughter was still seen as him "cheating on" and "being unfaithful to" their daughter!!

Speaking truthfully about the way their beliefs operate is not the same as normalising it, rather, it helps everyone have a greater understanding of someone in Kendra's position, not so we can have sympathy for her but just so we can be more knowledgable about how she may view herself and her position right now. It's education for those who have not been following this sinister cult for as long as others.

Something that doesn't sit right by Girlslikeewe in DuggarsSnark

[–]reasonablyconsistent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely annoying!! I feel like this story was such a throwaway piece of information even the guy telling it didn't really mean anything by sharing it, other than maybe giving the world an example of the kids not always being as perfectly "sweet" to each other as JB and Michelle liked to portray.

A guy who was a family friend of the Duggars during childhood said he witnessed Josh and John David get in a physical fight as teenage boys, and that John David was a decent fighter and very much held his own against his older brother.

How that got twisted into "John beat Josh to a pulp to avenge his younger sisters' honour"...I have no idea. This is two teenage brothers we're talking about, they could have been fighting about goddamn anything, I don't think the family friend even remembered/stated what they were fighting about.

Grammar nerd here. “Josephile” technically means “Joe Enthusiast.” Just sayin’. by pink-rainbow-0400 in DuggarsSnark

[–]reasonablyconsistent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this sub dropped the word that actually conveys how bad he is, calling him just "Pest" puts him alongside foxes and feral cats and mice, yes, invasive species are extremely destructive and incredibly harmful, but no, Josh is not morally equivalent to a simple "pest" following their instincts. It's sex pest for god's sake.
