Have you seen her without her blue contact lenses on? I find her oddly beautiful with her brown eyes. I think the blue eyes, dyed blond hair and deliberate barbie like styling dilute her natural beauty.

Looks like sound engineering to me.
Get the fuck away from me with your “Georgia”.
Fun fact! The invention of air conditioning may have led to the rise of BIG GOVERNMENT. previously, your congressperson would leave town in the summer to avoid the horrible swamp monster that is Washington, DC. With AC, they can stick around longer and create laws to take away your freedom, or whatever.
I feel like they are very insecure in their relationship with God if they think that going off to college is going to undo everything they've ever been taught. Come on people. Have faith in the way you raised your kids.
I think the level of control is a good barometer for cult status. Yes, every religion has rules and is made up of a community that expects people to obey those rules. But the extent to which the leaders of that faith can physically enforce adherence to the religion differs. If you are a Scientologist, they can…
The article doesn't make this claim, it says that the Duggar girls themselves characterize their location that way. Which makes some sense since they are never allowed to leave; from their perspective it might as well be three days journey to anywhere.
The Duggars aren't a cult, but they ARE members of a cult. Totally different. They're part of a group called Quiverfull, which is an extreme Christian movement that states that women must have as many kids as physically possible, and she has to stay home and take care of and homeschool the kids. Here's a little fun…
I actually would never make an argument that the Amish are a cult because Amish people encourage their children to go out and experience the secular world and all of its temptations during "Rumspringa." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumspringa
So... you used other books than A Beka and Bob Jones books because.... those books are terrible sources for things like history/biology? And you're defending them, why? The author was discussing those books in particular, not the entirety of home-schoolers. Those "cherry-picked" quotes weren't from some side…
I don't think you're making a very compelling argument here. Because you didn't fully read your math text doesn't mean that other children won't. Just because you apparently didn't absorb the lies of your history books doesn't mean that these children won't. It's great that you're successful, but it seems that that…
Their kids aren't allowed to read anything, interact with anyone, watch anything, or learn anything that is not parentally approved. That is clearly a whole 'nother level of crazy than being raised by fanatic Republicans. Obviously there is some tiny chance that one or two of the kids will get out and grow up into a…
Sorry, you lost me at the idea that living in an ultra-religious household that considers homosexuality as worthy of death (yay Biblical morals!) isn't detrimental to the psyche of a gay kid.
I'm one of those people- I grew up in conservative Baptist churches in the south in the Bible Belt and my father is a very conservative Republican. However, I, unlike the Dugger children, also went to public school, had unrestricted access to the internet, read pretty much anything and everything I wanted, and watched…
But they are TOTALLY SELF SUFFICIENT, right? And screw all those poor people who actually need public assistance for their totally reasonably-sized family of four, right? They should either have to be sick or bankrupt instead of having universal healthcare that would make the rest of us good Christians pay for birth…
I have always been enraged that the Duggars have declared their HOME a church. Thus securing tax exempt status for it. They don't pay any property tax OR sales tax if they are buying something for their home. Wouldn't that be nice if the rest of us could do that? I read somewhere that they get about $66,000 in tax…
"because Dad likes curly hair." ??? Really
Yeah, things like global warming denial, KKK apologism, and whatever "God used the 'Trail of Tears' to bring many Indians to Christ" is are just a "different" worldview, not a wrong and harmful one.
