Stupidly huge family gets huger

Saw that tv show about them.... pretty nuts that they won't stop.

http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,22183967-2,00.html

Quote:
An Arkansas couple had a baby daughter on Thursday - their 17th child and seventh girl - and the pair say they're still not ready to give it a rest.

Jennifer Danielle was born at 10.01am at a hospital in Rogers, Arkansas, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar said in an interview.

"We'd love to have more," Michelle said, referring to baby girls.

"We love the ruffles and lace."

Jennifer joins the fast-growing Duggar brood, who live in a 650sq m home in Tontitown.

All the children - whose names start with the letter J - are taught at home.

The oldest is 19 and the youngest, after Jennifer, is almost two.

"We are just so grateful to God for another gift from him," said Mr Duggar, a former state representative.

"We are just so thankful to him that everything went just very well."

Michelle Duggar said she started feeling contractions on Wednesday night and went to the hospital at 5am Thursday.

"It actually went fast," she said.

"I guess once I started progressing, it went within 30 minutes."

Mrs Duggar said that each child was so different there are times when she feels like she knows nothing about parenting.

The family has been featured on several programs on cable television's Discovery Health Network.

The next television special, the Duggar Family Album, is scheduled to air next month.

Among the "fun facts" listed on Discovery Health Network's web page devoted to the Duggars: a baby has been born in every month except June; the Duggars have gone through an estimated 90,000 nappies and Michelle has been pregnant for 126 months - or 10.5 years - of her life.

Mr Duggar, 44, is a real estate-agent who served in the Arkansas House of Representatives from 1999 to 2002.

He was a candidate for the US Senate in 2002 but lost the ballot.

Mrs Duggar, 41, and her husband are politically conservative fundamentalist Christians.

They reportedly live debt-free.


Seriously though, that thing must be huge. That poor husband. When they do it it's gotta be like throwing a hot dog down a hallway.

Quelle surprise.

I'm assuming, since fundamentalists know they can't persaude people into their ranks with reason, they've just decided they have to out-breed the rest of us.

I remember watching that special. All the kids live in dorm type-rooms with bunks and the older kids look after the younger ones. That's not a family, it's a Christian boot camp.

Also, here's the old thread: http://chud.com/forums/showthread.ph...28#post1557228

Quote:
Their children include two sets of twins, and each child has a name beginning with the letter "J": Joshua, 17; John David, 15; Janna, 15; Jill, 14; Jessa, 12; Jinger, 11; Joseph, 10; Josiah, 9; Joy-Anna, 8; Jeremiah, 6; Jedidiah, 6; Jason, 5; James, 4; Justin, 2; Jackson Levi, 1; and now Johannah.
Jinger? Janna? Jessa? Come on!

They've got a room the size of my apartment acting as a pantry. It's like a supermarket. And they live debt-free! Good to have the backing of the church.

Don't they have a movie theater in their town? A book club? Something, anything, that would give these two something to do besides the constant fucking? I'd be willing to bet they don't even know each other's names! Watch...

Hey, Jim Bob! That lady over there, the one you can't seem to keep your dick out of? What's her name? WRONG - it's not Karen, it's Michelle, you idiot! Now take a breather for two seconds and go out to dinner or something.

From Wiki:

Quote:
Quiverfull's principal authors and its adherents also describe their motivation as a missionary effort to raise up many Christian children to affect the world for the cause of the Christian religion.

Hess and Hess continue by envisioning that the offspring of Quiverfull families might enter national and local politics to bring conservative majorities, publicly-funded education to bring the teaching of creationism, and business to adjure companies to adhere to what adherents see as Christian sensibilities.[

What the hell are mom and dad going to do when 2 or 3 of those kids decide to come out of the closet (statistically speaking, it's going to happen). They don't strike me as very supportive. You would think these religious nut-jobs would have less kids rather than more, you know, to play the odds.

Just cuz they're gay (and yeah, several of them are bound to be queer as all get out) doesn't mean they'll come out of the closet. They're wacko indoctrination will probably lead to them repressing their feelings into some ludicrously antisocial behavior like protesting the nickel's place in American currency.

I'm pretty sure this already happened with the eldest boy. I seem to remember some vague allusions about him having to go to a special camp for a while (and not to make insinuations about the kid, but you can kind of figure out the rest - let's just say it wasn't fat camp). Can't remember if this was on the documentary series about them* or if I read it somewhere.

* Incidentally, the most questonable part of the series, from the couple episodes I watched, is how the religious component is neglected. They're portrayed as this mega-sized Brady Bunch, but the rationale is never very well explored. Maybe the producers have some sort of contract to avoid the topic, so that the network can't get into trouble broadcasting pro-Christian content and/or so that the family's beliefs aren't opened up for ridicule.

Well, the nickel is the most obviously homosexual coin in our country.

I'm seriously flashbacking to my youth - we had a family like this (minus 14 kids) where everyone's name started with the same initial (J - John, Joan, John Jr., Joseph, Jason). Two of the kids married girls whose names started with the letter J, they had kids whose names started with the letter J.

One son married a woman whose name didn't start with the letter J - and that poor girl caught so much shit from the family because of it.

They also inflicted the neighborhood with "Family Newsletters" every Christmas.

People like this creep me the fuck out. Stephen King and Clive Barker can't touch this shit.

We're not talking about a hot dog down the hallway situation. No, it's like a ritz cracker thru the Holland tunnel situation.

Oh and another great quote from the article posted

Quote:
....Hell, gay couples still can't openly adopt a baby in most states (they either lie, or one adopts and the other must apply as "co-parent"), but Michelle Duggar can pop out 16 kids and no one says, oh my freaking God, stop it, stop it now, you thoughtless, selfish, baby-drunk people.
And thus "Baby-Drunk" enters the lexicon! Score one for the press!

What I would love to see is a detailed account of how they are living debt free. Does the Discovery Channel pay that well? Does "home schooling" include ten hours a day making the latest Air Jordans? Maybe they get money from older quiver-people that can no longer shit out babies.

Actually they worked in tobacco, then I had them move to coca plants. My family was popular amongst the plantations. Quite popular. It was originally my dream to become a sharecropper, just like me Da. But then I met that nice Mr. Alejandro Sosa, one thing led to another, and...

Alas, tragedy struck. Some Cuban guy named Montana wasn't playing ball, an important journalist ran a news item which hurt Mr. Sosa's "business", and I do believe some deaths occured. The writing was on the wall, I cut my losses, and pulled the family out of the coca plant business.

Now we can pursue our true calling... SINGING!!! We managed to parlay my profits from our "operation" and picked up a nice drum kit, guitar, bass, a tambourine, and a small keyboard. To save money, we're buying an old school bus, painted by Mondrian, and I have a lead on an agent, a man named Kincaid... wish us luck!
