#119 The Duggar family


Christian culture loves a ginormous homeschooled family, so they can't get enough of those godly Duggars and their 19 kids. Christians want to model their families after them and homeschool them up. They see the Duggars as being an amazing example of a Christian family.


Christian culture doesn't seem concerned about how in, well, God's name Michelle and Jim Bob can give each of those kids enough attention. And they really don't seem to be asking how they can be emotionally present to nuture and adequately attach to each of the nineteen during their formative stages. Michelle and Jim Bob just keep churning them out for the glory of God. Michelle's probably pregnant again right now, actually

If Michelle Duggar was feeding her baby by God's design, instead of passing them off with a bottle for the old children to take care of, she would also be reaping the benefits of natural infertility.

God did say to multiply and fill the earth, but can't we look around and see it's pretty well full?

Lenny, are you on the SCCL Facebook page? I think you'd take to it like the proverbial duck to water.

I am, probably the only Lenny in your 2400+ likes.

I wouldn't say I'm a duck in water there, but I do appreciate it. I find some of it quite funny, but mostly it makes me a bit sad.

I come from the Midwest (Which is a uber-Christian region) and I absolutely love and agree with everything in this post. It makes me think of one girl that I've previously dated whose ex came from a Christian family similar to the Huggars. In Christian culture, it's all about the group and not the individual imo
