A very traditional family!

I happened to see a TV show on Discovery Health, about this family:

http://www.duggarfamily.com/

Then I did a websearch and found their website.

You know, if many more families were like these folk, I wouldn't be as depressed as I am much of the time over the sad state of the family today!

Did you see the pics of their home on the website? WOW! And they all got together and built it themselves??? How???

Whatever their secret is, I want some of it!

Except for a few minor issues and one major issue (their Christianity), their beliefs are almost identical to ours. Their girls even dress modestly in long skirts/dresses, as mine do.

religious groups often have much in common.

i find it interesting how such timeless ideals can still thrive in a society that casts scorn upon such groups..

But, it shows that even today, such things are possible..

It helps to live in conservative areas where there are many others that feel and live as you do. Most places in the U.S. would consider my belief system downright odd, but where I live, most people either adhere to the same beliefs or are so used to those of us who do that they think nothing of it.

As for the Duggar family, I know many families like them. Maybe a couple less kids, but they're up in the double digits. They are all very happy, children well cared for and well-behaved. Their focus is on home and family above all else...as, IMO, it should be.



"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do."

Re: A very traditional family!

From here...

Quote:
They found that while taking the pill you can get pregnant and then miscarry. They were grieved! They were Christians! They were pro-life! They realized that their selfish actions had taken the life of their child. They prayed and asked God to forgive them, and to teach them to love children like He loves children. They asked God to bless them with as many children as He saw fit in His timing. Right after that Michelle got pregnant with twins! To date they have been blessed with 16 children...
Ever hear of condoms? They don't kill anybody!

Unlike feminists, they see children as a blessing, the more the merrier. And from the looks of them, they seem supremely happy.

Why knock it?

If you read the quote, they started having children without limit out of a sense of guilt because of the miscarriage caused by the pill. They wouldn't have felt so guilty if they had just used condoms. Now they're just churning out babies, driven by their guilty consciences. How can this be happiness? They seem happy because they've resigned themselves to their baby-making fate. They just cannot stop. It would be too great a burden on their consciences.

That might be the impression you've gotten from the little you've read, if you didn't know the entire story.

The Duggars have a religious philosophy that is strongly centered around the "full quiver" philosophy. I'm not a Christian but I'm very familiar with it because there are many in the pro-life and pro-family mvmts that hold to this philosophy.

The "full quiver" belief is rooted in the concept that the Creator holds the key of fertility: He chooses how many children to give a couple that i
