I don’t think they are allowed on FR, are they?
I am not bound by piety or christian behavior. As such, i am free to express my opinion about child molesters as I see fit.
Knew a family like this. Not quite as strict. One of the girls goes to a party and gets date raped. Tells her mom and gets blamed. Is forbidden to report it because it might bring shame to the family.
People like this disgust me. They are like the pharisees of old. Nice and clean on the outside, but inside full of dead men’s bones.
How would you like to be a girl in that house? Think about it. You are not allowed to be anything other than a homemaker. You are not allowed to go to college and figure out what YOU want to do with YOUR life. And, oh, BTW, your brother? Yeah the one who sneaks into your room at night? Yeah, do the chores for him.
Sick.
Many readers have asked about the Duggars’ views on higher education. Do they encourage college? Do they even allow it?
“Life is a classroom,” says Michelle. She and Jim Bob strongly believe that learning is a lifelong process, not a dreaded chore that ends at graduation. They encourage their children to gain different skills and experience various career potentials in order to figure out what they are truly passionate about. If that means pursuing a college education, then mom and dad are all for it, but their goal is for their kids to be driven by God’s plan for their lives instead of by what the world says is the norm.
So what are the older kids up to now?
Jill and Jana have been looking into midwifery and nursing, taking classes and studying under professionals.
John-David has his own towing business, which came in handy when the Duggars woke up to 2 feet of snow earlier this month!
Jessa has a passion for teaching and has taken on many responsibilities of homeschooling the little ones.
Jinger has been honing her photography skills by taking pictures for the family’s personal album and website.
Several of the kids have started with CollegePlus! an online program that allows students to earn college credit, and potentially an entire degree, in a fraction of the time, at a fraction of the cost. “We’ve had several friends that have gotten a four-year degree in about eighteen months from College Plus!” Jim Bob announced during our interview. College Plus! currently has a student body of 2,200 and is growing rapidly.
