Nope. The reason they chose "J" is because that's the first letter of Jim Bob's name. And Jim Bob is an insanely controlling and patriarchal man who would probably be a cult leader if he weren't essentially breeding his own cult..
You KNOW these kids are being ignored? You know these kids are neglected?What other family were we talking about?
Not wanting kids to be neglected makes me prejudiced? Are you actually reading the crap you're posting Vance?
I KNOW that they have 19 kids (and a 20th on the way despite the fact that number 19 almost died) when taking care of a couple is hard enough.
I KNOW that they're not giving any of those kids enough individual attention (simple math tells me that).
I KNOW that their TV show shows definite warning signs that the kids are being neglected by the parents.
I KNOW that their TV show shows that the older kids spend more time taking care of the little ones than the parents do.
What I really don't KNOW is why you insist on defending their neglect.
This family appears to be far less a drain on society than a whole lot of single parent, single children families.
Damn them for having and raising a healthy family!!!There you go thinking about everything in relation to capitalism. Also, how do you know they aren't on the dole? From what I understand, they enjoy tax exempt status on their home and I am sure 19 children adds up to a pretty nice little deduction from. Are we aware whether they use WIC or not? I am not. That is not what I am "judging" them about. The job of placing economic blame on people is more of your realm, not mine.
I only find it offensive that they are so selfish in having that many children.
Is the show edited or not?
Josie?

You just made that up, didn't you?
You're incorrect:
You'll believe just about anything you see on TV, won't you.
Listen to them. These answers are scripted. Whether they're true or not becomes completely undecipherable because of that. And if you were a producer, would you let someone say that?
Thanks! Thats not a bad idea.Man, you and Josie should form a debate team. You could storm the country with logical fallacies, straw men, and one-line responses. Thanks for your input.
Of course it's edited. It's a TV show.
Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar announce they're having twentieth child - Reality TV World
I really enjoy this family, but good grief.....that's enough kids!
well there you go. Why didn't you just say so? And yet you completely refuse to acknowledge the fact that it could be scripted. Their house is always immaculate. Then it shows them cleaning for a few seconds- and people fall for that. They have an entire team of maids working behind the scenes. Guaranteed. It's hard enough to clean up after two kids let alone that many. It's simply not feasible for them to do all of that on their own. They are getting help, and the tv show IS scripted.

So you did make it up. Gotcha.
Your gullibility is astounding.
I saw what you said and everything you say is an assumption, based on bias. All those things you describe as warning signs...single parent families...families with only 1 child do the exact same thing. Single parents FREQUENTLY rely on the older children to look after the younger. Its just not that uncommon. By all accounts, this is a HAPPY family. Is THAT what pisses you off so much??? A large religious based family that is actually HAPPY?Not what I said, go back and read carefully.

Okay, Michelle is really a street walker when the cameras stop rolling, JimBob screams racist comments to his neighbors and the kids are all having sex with each other.
Does that make you feel better?

Nope. What would make me feel better is if someone had the conscience to turn off the camera and stop screwing these kids up even worse than they already are.
