If they forgo all forms of contraceptives...how many times do you think they had sex to end up with that may kids?

You'd think they'd be a little sore!

My guess is that they mainly have sex for procreation, so she tracks her cycle accordingly, and that's when they get laid. They're a part of (and probably the poster family for) this movement; you'd think sex wouldn't really be about sex at all much anymore, at that point.

I read about the Quiverfull thing. And I still they get it on a lot! I mean, the wife must be very. very infertile or they have bunches of sex. I know it has been said, "it only takes one time" but there is no way they had sex like 17 or 20 times and got it right the first time.

Suddenly I just realized how obsessed I sound about their sex life. Eww!

Plus, the J-names of their kids freak me out. And pleaze for the love of whatever god(s, esses) that husband should change his name. Jim-Bob! Can he get any more stereotypical?

This is what happens when people take something literally and apply it to their own lives, despite the fact that it was written in a time completely different from ours, and is probably mistranslated anyway. Bunch of crack babies. (Not the kids, the parents.)

Now that I think about it, I'm a lot sorrier for the children than the mother. The mother can kiss my ass. This abrupt moodswing has been brought to you by Ooh-Shiny Inc., Ltd., LLC.

Ew, of course not. You just have a lot of knowledge in that area. ...The area of freaky Baptists, not of how to breed like a rabbit.

Yah, there's been a couple of tv shows about this family.

It gets worse, they have their own in home ministry complete with neighbors who join them. Also by my count there's 14 in that pic, which means that there's a new one which is missing iirc. All the kids are home schooled, the girls clothes are all home made, not sure on the boys.

Yup, and that one has a bigger size too :D The nightmare suburb-o-barn is almost as scary as the family.

Didn't check all comments, but are you familiar with the 'Motivational Poster' based on this insanity? It is the picture above, with the words "IT'S A VAGINA. NOT A CLOWN CAR" underneath.

I feel like that says it all.

That's where I cropped it from. :D The guy who makes the... crap, he's got a term for them... the motivational-poster things and posts them at all_macros had that one on his own page that has more of the "posters." He had a link to the Duggers' wikipedia page. Hence my discovery and need to "share."

...I liked the caption in some ways, but I am really particular about anatomical terms, especially when referring to women's "private" parts. A good chunk of my pickiness in this area has to do with said parts being too "private" in how we use our language. It's a visibility thing, and an area in which I will correct people. The most common example is that people often say "vagina" when they mean "vulva." This, I always correct. I am completely humorless and stereotypically feminist-lesbian about it ( ... )

I'm a big proponent of teaching kids the correct terminology for all their body parts, inside and out. But I also don't mind the 'shorthand' of something like this caption, since it gets the point across in the sarcastic way that was obviously intended.

I'm also a fan of live and let, but you know. At some point, society is allowed to at least blink and make commentary. I feel like this is an example of that point.

Yeah, I'm not saying I'm outraged by it, or that people have no right to find it funny, or that anyone's freedom of speech should be impinged upon in any way. This is more about my personality quirks.

Gawd help us, is it ever.
