Hi everyone! I'm a fan of the Duggar's...even though my friends and family make fun of me for it. So excited to start getting connected with other fans. I'm 26 and I'm from Kentucky. I like taking pictures, spending time with family and friends, Netflix, and all things reality tv! Can't wait to start chatting.

Welcome! I have a question, though, if you are a fan in the sense that you like them, what attracts you to Free Jinger? This is hardly a Duggar fan page.

Hi everyone!

My name is Lone, I'm 21 and I live in Lillehammer, Norway (The olympic city of 1994)

I don't remember how I came about it, but I started watching the duggars online, and it sort of hit me like a trainwreck - I just had to watch it and I can't look away. Most of the time my face goes like this :shock: :o

I find it so interesting to read about the (in my opinion) crazy families, mostly because it's so different to my life. I'm an atehist and a socialist who live with my boyfriend and are on the pill.. :roll:

I look so much forward to getting to know some of you wonderful people, and learn about how things work in other countries. Please feel free to ask me any questions :)

Lots of love :)

I don't really know how to explain it. I watch the show regularly and they annoy me and intrigue me all at once. I follow the Duggars Without Pity also regularly and I often just want to see what others feel about the family. Thanks for the welcome. I'm already enjoying talking to others about all the topics.

Hi! I'm 27, female, and currently live in Sydney, Australia.

I found this forum through a cross-posting on another forum I'm a member of (about the woman with the eleven month pregnancy).

Raised Christian (in a theologically moderate politically liberal church), had some brushes with what's probably pseudo-fundamentalism, and am interested in kind of a horrified way in what it does to people. These brushes had quite a bit to do with the fact I'm now an atheist.

Hiya! I'm a 19 year old female who currently resided in New Mexico. I found this forum when curiosity got the best of me, and started looking into the Duggar family a few months ago. I also have a fundamentalist background- my aunt, uncle, and cousins on my mother's side are hardcore fundamentalists.

Hello! I'm Pequena, 29 years old, married, working mom of two living in Illinois. I found free jinger a year ago after a google search on the Duggars and immediately became a daily lurker . Looking forward to catching up on all the fundie snark and contributing my thoughts when I can.

Welcome everyone!

Be sure to check out the family summaries in the Who's Who and if you have any questions, feel free to start a thread here in the SOTDRT. We have Buzzard muzzled when she is in here, so no one is in danger when posting in here ;)

Hi everybody!

I got sucked into Freejinger over the Elle disaster (when the main thread was still accessible to lurkers).

I've been following her schemes over almost a decade now; always from a distance (and most certainly unnoticed by her!) until last year she decided to use one of my photos of a certain fabric design on Spoonflower, claiming she made it.

I then filed a DMCA, and Spoonflower took "her" design down. Ever since she's been claiming that *I* was claiming the copyright on that particular fabric design (which I of course don't have), when in fact I was claiming copyright on that particular photo (which I indeed have since I took the photo and edited it afterwards).

Since I am on Spoonflower too, selling my designs, she now tends to leave crappy comments on my (actually self-made) designs (under fake names, but for certain reasons I instantly recognize her). Oh well.

With her latest 'author' scheme, I thought I'd have a look if FJ has any more news about her (and maybe add some things that I found out about her over the past months); only to find out that I now can't access the 'Bridge missing a troll' thread any more (which, back then, I so carefully had added to her ED page; along with the 'fabric design' story...).

Bummer. I don't think I'll ever get to 75 posts to be able to contribute to it. Any chance that this particular thread might be moved back to snark from chatter?

Welcome aboard!

She actually came back again under a different name, but after a few posts, things started sounding....well like Elle. So we did some poking around and it was her. She's been banned (a couple times now). Her most current adventures start here: http://www.freejinger.org/forums/viewto ... 03#p419103. She is outed at the bottom of page 7.

I knew that thread. Actually I commented on it before posting here in the introduction thread ;)

I was thinking more about her more recent antics - like, self-bidding on her auctions or her aspirations on becoming the next Twilight trilogy author, you know, stuff like that. *lol*

BTW, with registrations, watch out for the last name 'Montagne'. She used that last name lately, with differing first names.

Ah that explains the M in LisaM, I guess. Thanks, I'll make a note in the admin forum.

Hello! I'm Stephanie, I'm 28 and live in Texas.

I found this board when it was cross posted on a board I've been a member of for years.

Looking forward to chatting and getting to know everyone! :)

Hello, I'm glad to have found this spot on the web. I lost a very good friend (my bestie) to the Patriarchy movement and was very nearly wrapped up in the movement myself. I'm glad I chose not to go on that path and look forward to reading and chatting here :)

Hello! I kind of accidentally introduced myself in the "what brought you here" thread, but I guess I'll say an official hello. :) I'm 23, a grad student living in Wisconsin, and Jewish convert. I was lurking for about a year while living in a developing country with sad internetz and I just came back to the States and was finally able to register.

Hello,

I'm here after seeing this site refered to a blog called Razing Ruth. I've been meaning to come here for some time now, althouh the last time I perused, I read somewhere around here that Rachel Maddow was held in high esteem.

Anyway, I'm at the age where my thoughts are less often, "I shouldn't say that." and more often, "What the hell, let's see what happens."

I am the mom of 8 kids...step mom to 3....grandma to a granddaughter and a grandson due in June. I had a big family because I wanted one and because I seriously doubt that there will be any retirement when I get old enough to draw it. The kid who treats me the worst is the one I'm living with later one. I'll be too broke for them to pick my "home."

I was married to a man who really wanted the fundie lifestyle and wanted all of us to deem him Lord and Master, but he didn't want the responsibility that went with that, like actually modeling Christ the way he was supposed to. We split up 10 years ago and divorced in 2005. To tell the truth, I think he's a self-loathing gay. I'm past the point of being furious with him for the way he treated me, and now feel a bit sorry for him.

Five months later, I married my now husband, a man raised in the south amongst Baptists and who went to a private Baptist high school that frequently pumped out future Bob Jones graduates. He decided to enlist in the Air Force and that was what got him out of there. You would never know he was raised fundie unless he actually told you.

I am not presently churched because I can't stand going anymore, but I do have a deep faith in Christ and do truly beleive in the exisitence of a loving God and Father. It makes me sad how distorted He is by so many who say they know Him, not that I have any direct line to The Almighty and know Him anymore than anyone else, but it just seems as though we make all that a lot harder than it has to be.

Hi everyone. Let's call me Finduilas/Findy ! I am from France and I discovered the Duggar (and all their friends) by wandering on the internet instead of doing some useful stuff. I quite necessarily ended up on FreeJinger as I was trying to understand their quite "different" life style. (NB: France would probably be a Duggar nightmare : abortion is legal and we kicked the church out of our schools a century ago)

I'm addicted to those crazy fundies, mostly because they remind me that gender equality is a fight that must continue.

So once more hi fellow fundy not-friendly.

Are you a Tolkien fan, by any chance? ;) Welcome to Free Jinger, Finduilas.

Wow, it really never ends with Elle, does it? I bet any psychologist would love to work with her; she must have a personality disorder to just lie and scam like that all day.

Hi, I'm Lizzie and I'm from Texas. I found Free Jinger after I went looking for blogs of large families in my area. I found Inashoe. I thought something wasn't right there and then found Free Jinger and have been lurking for a long time. I tend to be a shy internet poster. I love Free Jinger and was shocked to find out what is happening in my own backyard with Vision Forum.
