I watched this the day I got my abortion and it reminded me why I didn’t want any more kids... god told me I couldn’t go through the pregnancy and I would have died and abortion was created to help women like me. After the procedure I felt a wave of peace and pure healing. I felt god saying I did right by my family and my body It’s been 5 years and I regret nothing. My kidneys would have failed and I would be dead. These people are going against god
I hate how everyone is like, "HOW DO YOU SPEND QUALITY TIME WITH THEM ALL?!" Well, I am one of TWO children, and I did not have much quality time with my parents, especially in the teen years. Quality time and relationship building has nothing to do with size, everything to do with WHO the parents are and how they treat their kids.
They are wonderful people!! They are living a great life and if all of the people that have said such awful comments about their family would have had a mom and dad like them they would have turned out alot better off. You see, you can't beat a Christian no matter what. We are happy, loving, and filled with joy that only comes from our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. God bless the Duggars!! And by the way, Jesus loves all the haters the same as he loves the Duggars.
Ummm , they literally let their son sexually abuse their daughters……. Great family lol. Hopefully Josh rots in jail. Anyone who didn’t see the red flags, is brainwashed too. Women are treated as property, they are taught to listen to men, which leads to the sexual abuse in these cults .
With all due respect, and I genuinely mean that. Why judge something you really don't know much about? They look infinitely happy than most families today. Sure they have a show and who knows if it's scripted but there is something genuine about them.
May God continue to bless the duggar family! a house they built themselves while living debt free. they're doing better financially than many people who have no children. dont know why people have such an issue with them having so many children when they're taking care of all of them and not burdening other people to do it.
Logically speaking my husband and I screwed up by waiting too long to start our family and became incapable of naturally having more then one child. According to Godly wisdom, we have been blessed with one child.
I believe is to much , but the children are very cute polite ; I believe our lord has given michell to be a mom of all these kids Jana is very polite buetiful they’re all cute kids I mean all of them : I like the grown kids that are married have nice wife’s Anna in all respect, she was the first , then the scandal, but she stood high and her children are adorable, I wouldn’t not have more babies but a baby is always in the moms mine to get a baby to hold a baby. In arms : Anna is a smart girl🙆🏻♀️👶🏻🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
One of the 20 something Duggar females is getting started a photogaphy business, and another is learning to become a midwife. There are some secular females who are married at that age and having their first baby.
Wow thanks I dont know why someone would mark that as Spam. I just think its amazing that someone would be about to have an abortion but change to value life after seeing such an amazing family
i love the duggars, they bring up their children to be so well behaved and they help so much, much more than what the rest of us do, when they were saying all the names on the vid they missed out josh
i'm very aware of that thankyou. i watched the whole video and they speak about praying for God to show them if adoption is right for them. that is why i said it.
@dan24b When the time comes for me to go, I can only hope that it happens on my own terms but I know that my loved ones will remember me and I will live on in their memories. I don't need to believe in some self-absorbed daddy in the sky in order to not fear death because it's something that is just a part of life and everyone will have to experience it. That fact that you worship a god that would torture me forever, simply for not believing in him speaks more to your immorality, not mine.
@dan24b So your bitterness comes from seeing people dying every day? Please answer me this; one of my twin daughters died of a pineoblastoma brain tumour in July, she died the day after my girls turned 5 years old. I held my baby girl for a night. In the 2 years we lived in the hospital, we saw ONLY children dying. Would you like for me to believe that my daughter is just gone and that's it? After horrible suffering for 2 years? I want to SEE my baby again, do I care what others think?
@MrSeansharpie why do you want 17 children and 2 supportive (albeit eccentric) parents to die? they're just living how they want and they don't need your approval, but don't think you're entitled to throw around insults like that just cause you wouldn't choose that lifestyle. and they can clearly afford it, so power to them. not many people would use their money that well.
You're wrong. Paula is right. It's that the older kids have no alternative, because no one has the time as a parent to adequately nurture each of 19 children. They will have their problems, each in time.
Well, I am an Atheist, and my wife is a Christian... but I still go to church with her and our son. Even though I don't agree with religion I believe A) That supporting your partner even though you may disagree is important, B) Even if you disagree with a group of people it doesn't mean you still can't learn from them, as I have actually learned a lot from my wife's pastor, and C) I teach him to always question everything, because real knowledge isn't given, it has to be found on your own.
Its sad that he thinks that he can convert people through his show. He doesn't realize that people want to watch the freak show that is the Duggar family. I like to watch the show just to ridicule them.
@northernlight32 I find it appalling on every level. The older girls do MOST all of the parenting & that's so unfair to them. Michelle has no business having another baby at 45 esp. given she has 19 other children & had severe health issues the last time. When you have grandkids, it's time to quit spewing out more kids. Josh & Anna's kids seem to be an afterthought for them. What they have found is a way to keep their TV show going. They are purposely trying to have more which is so wrong.
@striker300southpaw I was responding to a comment on this thread that was off topic. If I'm asked about my beliefs, I will be more than glad to share them with you. Yes, christian beliefs are absurd, nonsensical and in many cases immoral and unjust.
@MizzPinupDoll i said trying to help people, but even if they inspire a few people to put true devotion into raising children, that's helping. still can't blame them for doing what they want and sharing that with the world. it's brave for them to be open about their lifestyle when it will obviously attract criticism and judgement. and don't call them those names when you don't know what they're really like. just because the media likes to portray all christians that way doesn't mean it's true.
First off, there is no "my child" thought process that enters my mind. There is only the child that was created by my wife and I, and we raise him together. I don't think the Christian faith is "wacky" per se, for the most part it has a good message, I just don't agree with every part of it's message.... and it disturbs me how much The Bible is used to justify hate, and intolerence, and how rarely I see christians in this country actually act in a Christ-like manner.
@94MaverickGT You can believe anything that makes you feel better. Unfortunately, reality suggests that once the brain dies, the person no longer exists. Remember and treasure the brief time that you had with your daughter but the fact that you desire to be with her again, does not mean that it will happen. We all lose loved ones and yes it hurts a lot but once they are gone, there is no evidence that they continue to live on or that we get to reunite with them. Wishful thinking I'm afraid.
Oh yea-all the kids we see n the 'world w/internt & tv are so much better! :( Just trn on news & see all the "great" news about the violence towards each other or ppl they r *supppose* to respect- teachers, parents, etc! There is so much trash on tv-there is not enough time in the day 2 even start this arguemnt! All of these kids r: well mannered, RESPECT their parents & fellow brothers & sisters, serve OTHERS *the oldr ones* by going on mission trips & helping in lots v ways, & yes-Love God!
@MizzPinupDoll you're judging them more than they ever judged you. they're actually trying to help people even though they know they will be hated and dismissed by people like you.
@dan24b Look at you on the higher pedestal, making fun of what people believe in. It's easy to criticize a man's beliefs as oppose to actually expressing what you yourself believes in.
@dan24b Does oblivion that awaits us make you feel better about your own existence? Fine.. that is your choice to believe.. but if that is reality why do we even bother to be motivated about anything to care for anything at all? For the sake of our children? They too will die and cease to exist and so on never to be reunited with loved ones. Even the here and now which atheists stress so much on....if in the end we simply cease to exist even that....becomes utterly moot and pointless.
Well the biggest part of being an adult is not needing your parents! and being able to function by yourself. And no I do not have kids im just in my early 20s, id have to say tho that most parents are weak jellyfish You know the duggar girls arent going to be getting pregnant as teens or their sons arentt going to be arrested! :)
Kids don't need to be nurtured, you say? Guess you don't have any kids. I got news for you, they don't become "fully functional adults" overnight, the moment they cease being babies. And when you have 19 of them you don't have the time to "help them grow" into such adults in a nurturing way. That their older children have to step in and do it for them says alot, because they are not themselves fully grown up yet.
For millions of years the population of Africa was not a billion people. Its population has doubled in my lifetime. Yes, the West has manipulated Africa's resources, but that doesn't change the fact that several countries on the continent haven't sufficient arable land to support their population. And yes, we are corrupting our ocean environment, but regardless, our prohibition against harvesting certain fish has not led to their restocking. We are nearing an irreversible spiral downward.
I think home schooling is bad but if it works for your child than it's fine...but inclosing them is not a good because exposing them to different people or at least have them have friends
Homeschooling is not bad when you think of all the violence in schools today i am tempted if i ever have kids to do it just to ensure my kid don't get hurt at school these are healthy social kids
Zena zema why send your child to these *Failed Public Schools* ran by over paid *Liberal Anti God, Anti American Socialist institutions of where children are *Indoctrinated instead of Educated* The *Duggar Children* have each other and *Friends* from their church who love the *Lord* and embrace what is *Right* instead of what is *Popular*. In public schools everything is *Politically Correct* The world would be a much better place if more children had parents like *Jim Bob & Michelle*.
but i agree with the failed public schools and what not okay fine.But me personally i feel kids need to exposed to as much the parents want them to be exposed to
Zena I think that *The Duggars* expose their children to a lot. They go abroad and see people who are poor and in need so they learn to give of themselves. The *Duggar Children* ware well *Educated and Versed* in the world. I think we're on the same page.
They lost their "second" child and don't want to repeat losing another child, yet their willing to risk the life of their 20th child, if they do have have one.
These people are a freak show. Probably why I can't stop watching. Life can get boring and terrible, but at least I'm not a broodmare/Stepford wife. I want to rescue the poor daughters before they are forced into creepy dating rituals and a lifetime of breeding and servitude. Ick.
@sinclaircj Actually, there is no evidence that your "god" is anything more than a myth/delusion. Why don't you make comments that are actually relevant?
And just so we are clear...... Brainwashing and "Training up your child", as you put it are in fact the same exact thing. Brainwashing someone is the process of Training them to think/act a certain way through a series of triggers that help guide them to how you want them to be. The fact that you used the phrase "Training up your child" instead of something like "Teaching your child" says a lot about you as a person, and how you were raised... Training up you child, to be a thought slave too.
Please explain to me how the parents aren't narcissists, and while you're at it please enlighten me on how what they do to their children doesn't qualify as brain washing. They have an absurd amount of children, make the older children take care of the younger children. Then they make them grow up in this false reality of the world that they have created, it is so disgusting that these parents are viewed with any sort of reverance. They are narcissists who mentally abuse their children.
Well, you are probably not clairvoyant, so then, I am going to go ahead, and assume that you have no idea what knowledge i posses... and yes I am not a Professional, but I do have a minor in psychology, which does lend me at least a little bit of insight... also studying psychology/sociology is a little hobby of mine, much like my hobby of playing my guitar. I am by no means a Professional Musician, but I can still play "Little Wing" by Hendrix, so maybe being a professional means nothing.
I watched this the day I got my abortion and it reminded me why I didn’t want any more kids... god told me I couldn’t go through the pregnancy and I would have died and abortion was created to help women like me. After the procedure I felt a wave of peace and pure healing. I felt god saying I did right by my family and my body
It’s been 5 years and I regret nothing. My kidneys would have failed and I would be dead.
These people are going against god
how can u not like/love this family i cant get enuff i watch the show when ever its on
I hate how everyone is like, "HOW DO YOU SPEND QUALITY TIME WITH THEM ALL?!" Well, I am one of TWO children, and I did not have much quality time with my parents, especially in the teen years. Quality time and relationship building has nothing to do with size, everything to do with WHO the parents are and how they treat their kids.
The Duggars are an Inspiration! Praise The Lord!
🤣🤣🤣

It's obviously before the BS with Josh came out but it's funny that the abridged opening credits started with Jana.
With all due respect, and I genuinely mean that. Why judge something you really don't know much about? They look infinitely happy than most families today. Sure they have a show and who knows if it's scripted but there is something genuine about them.
Jackson is definitely my favourite Duggar, he is so cute and happy !
they live a good wholesome life.
They were sooo cute when they were a young couple!
i think the Duggars are very great and aren't wierd or anything they seem like very very very good and loving parents that love all their children :)
May God continue to bless the duggar family!
a house they built themselves while living debt free. they're doing better financially than many people who have no children. dont know why people have such an issue with them having so many children when they're taking care of all of them and not burdening other people to do it.

how utterly wonderful
He did express what he believes in, he obviously believes that there isn't a God.... Good job champ.
ignore these awful comments, they are a great witness for the Lord
@Paula120906 There's nothing wrong with the older kids pitching in and helping around the house. I think the Duggars are awesome!
Where does Josh’s multiplying scandals fit in?
At this time Josh was home with all his sisters and they were watching all the kids. How sad!
I believe is to much , but the children are very cute polite ; I believe our lord has given michell to be a mom of all these kids Jana is very polite buetiful they’re all cute kids I mean all of them : I like the grown kids that are married have nice wife’s Anna in all respect, she was the first , then the scandal, but she stood high and her children are adorable, I wouldn’t not have more babies but a baby is always in the moms mine to get a baby to hold a baby.

They bring up child molesters .
I would love to know how you all feel now?
i'm very aware of that thankyou. i watched the whole video and they speak about praying for God to show them if adoption is right for them. that is why i said it.
oh i just love this family! God bless them in their adoption.

Yeah right. They are all going to be just fine. More families need to be like this. There would be less divorce, murder, rape and the list goes on.
But not less pedophilia....
And why is it irresponsible when they take care of all them and do not rely on anyone else's help?
@northernlight32 I find it appalling on every level. The older girls do MOST all of the parenting & that's so unfair to them.

Plus, you have no idea with what the money, if any, TLC has given them. Check your resources before you complain about this family.
I hope regret this statement, now.

They lost their "second" child and don't want to repeat losing another child, yet their willing to risk the life of their 20th child, if they do have have one.
what are u even trying to say?
@kwhit1516 It's ok, we understand, just go vomit and come back when you're feeling better. O.o
Sorry, make that an eternity of hell, that's a reeeeeeally long time........
44 years old????!!!!!...omg she looks yonger
These people are a freak show. Probably why I can't stop watching. Life can get boring and terrible, but at least I'm not a broodmare/Stepford wife. I want to rescue the poor daughters before they are forced into creepy dating rituals and a lifetime of breeding and servitude. Ick.
Poor victims of an oppressive religion. Dam fools. These kids are going to have so many emotional and attachment problems when they are older.
The first black person in their home.
Give a me break this makes sick
@sinclaircj Actually, there is no evidence that your "god" is anything more than a myth/delusion. Why don't you make comments that are actually relevant?
you people are blind... they are building an army. he plots of world domination xD
@dan24b So you believe in no hope at all? That is why to me atheism is a nihilist philosophy.
And just so we are clear...... Brainwashing and "Training up your child", as you put it are in fact the same exact thing. Brainwashing someone is the process of Training them to think/act a certain way through a series of triggers that help guide them to how you want them to be.

Teaching any religion to children is a crime agaist humanity.
Because it adds irresponsibly to the Earth's overpopulation.
