Duggars in the news.

I’ll give you that - a college football game is a really normal activity. A 17 yr old and 21 yr old going to it via a 4 hour small plane ride piloted by your brother??? Not so typical (and, out of character for this strict family)

And, not least of all, as a parent, wouldn’t you be concerned about all the media (and fans/not-so-fans) that could potentially harass them on their adventure? I would forget a chaperone and hire a bodyguard!

Good for the Bates family being willing to risk their own brand.

Gee, it’s a good thing that Jesus’ grandparents (great-grandparents? I can’t remember whether or not Mary was a “virgin” birth as well) and beyond didn’t hear that. That’s a lot of time that God allowed people to sin in order to keep the species alive before he sent down his son.

Sigh, I’m still convinced that if there is a God s/he is hardcore facepalming.

I loved that article. Shared it on Facebook to much amusement among my FB friends.

Josh Duggar mocked in the season opening SNL monologue during host Miley Cyrus’ performance of “(I Did It) My Way”

Except, don’t those parents know how young ladies dress at college football games… some of them are pretty scantily clothed - Jinger might get ideas, and Lawson might have to keep his eyes solely on the game so he’s not traumatized.

Joseph Duggar goes to college:

Founded in 1991, Crown Bible College in Tennessee (“a distinctive Baptist college”) offers a Bachelor of Biblical Studies degree.

The student handbook has an entire section on dating rules. Sounds like the perfect college for a male Duggar.

Dating is defined as talking to someone in other than a brief, casual manner. This includes sitting with a member of the opposite gender at a meal, chapel, or church.

No physical contact is allowed.

Ladies cannot ride in cars with men without approval granted from the Administration.

Dating couples cannot be in any room, patio, stairway or hallway without a third person present.

Dorm students cannot date anyone who is not a fellow student. No off-campus dating.

Interracial couples must have written permission from both sets of parents in order to date.

Good. Grief.

That would be a very brave interracial couple indeed.

How does he know this?

Read that repeatedly as “Clown College.”
Read the wikipedia page. Now I wish it was Clown College. Clowns scare the living bejezus out of me but they’re still nowhere near as terrifying as that place sounds.

Derick and Jill are rejected by their church as funded missionaries due to lack of required college level coursework.

They also misled others by stating they were commissioned as missionaries when it was just some extra prayers.

Hashtag No Ethics.

I don’t know about the reliability of this news source,The Inquisitr…but man, sure doesn’t sound very ethical!!!

Yeah I’m not seeing anything else that says there’s an issue, except repeats of inquisitr.

Here’s the rub: if you truly believe everything you “want” is God’s will, then I guess you can go ahead and do anything you want. After all, he sent you some donors, he must approve, so why not blow the money as you wish?

So convoluted. Hate the thought that, ultimately, that’s the subtext from this family and the show. Do whatever you want and if God doesn’t strike you down on the spot, it’s fine, it’s blessed, purposeful, worthy…and you’re better than the next person. And you can always find a Biblical quote to prove it.

. Yup. Indeed.

Includes stupid quote from an inside source that “Anna feels disgusting”.

I think she probably feels disgusted.

As much as I want to read the articles people link, I wish the articles didn’t have pictures of Josh - I get nauseous every time I see a picture of him.
