Wow, that is weird. Did they ever explain why they decided she would be called Gracie? I always assumed that her name was Sarah Grace, so he just decided to use her middle name because he thinks his followers are too stupid to tell who is who.

I always wonder about this. I never thought they actually "renamed her" in real life. I think they probably call her by her name, just use Gracie for the blog to cut down on the confusion they seem to imagine it will cause.

That's what I thought too. Furthermore, don't we do that too, with calling one Reversal Anna and Non-Reversal Anna? Among my aunts and uncles there are some duplicate names. My dad has the same name as my mom's brother, for one. And he also has a sister and sister-in-law with the same name. Same last name too, as the sister never married. We find our ways to be able to tell who we're addressing or referring to. So this is one thing I don't find snark-worthy on this family. Sheesh; what if John-David Duggar married another Anna? They'd both be Anna Duggar, lol. So forever it'd be Josh's Anna and John's Anna, or something like that.(and no, I'm not necessarily referring to Anna Maxwell, though that'd prove interesting things. Anyway, that's for another thread, right?)

I left a random comment. My name spelling was changed and they left out an entire part of my comment. Weird.

They edit comments all the time. No surprise. They change their meaning, too.

I think even they realize it's a foregone conclusion that the girls will remain single. They've all agreed that there is no place they'd rather live than at their parent's home sleeping in bunk beds and following mom's schedule. I mean, who has those kinds of discussions if they believe there's any hope for marriage and family? It's almost like they know that, someday, after S&T are gone, they will be all they have and don't want to abandon each other. It's a nice sentiment for all the wrong reasons.

I have this crazy dream that one of them will accidentally forget to check with Daddy and open a spam porn email. That alone would be great, but I think it would then get them thinking [and let's just say "emotional] and finally she throws herself at the Fed Ex guy, leaves him exhausted and he comes back for more! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Then he whisks her away in his truck and they move to somewhere normal like the other side of Levenworth and he gets a restraining order against the family and pays for her deprogramming and they live happily ever after....

So not happening, but hey! We can all dream!

I think one of the girls will be married...maybe to one of the guys Steve was looking for awhile back who have working skills? I'd be surprised if they moved farther than 1/2 hour away though.

I suspect at least one gurl will marry for Steves pride if nothing else. the extending the yongest's graduation for marketing reasons makes me sure he'll marry at least one girl off to keep sales up. It looks hinky if he doesn't.

I think he'd have a hard time letting the girls go and the girls themselves would have a hard time going. But you'd think that any eligible locals would have come forward already so it looks like that pool has dried up. They've cut way back on traveling too so it looks like any suitable suitors would have to originate…GASP!…online. Their very own Christian Mingle. Steve certainly does seem to be working on wifely profiles for the younger two lately…

ETA…because words matter

My friends! I have managed to secure Steve Maxwell's Courtship Questionnaire! Don't ask me how I came in possession of it as I am sworn to secrecy, but let's just say it involved a top hat, a mule, a pair of rolled up tube socks, a baseball bat, some duct tape and a bag of animal crackers....

Maxwell Family Courtship Questionnaire

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I love how "which daughter do you want to court?" is the last question on the list...because it's the least important :|

Noticed in the comment section someone from Hannah's Prayer Ministry left a comment. ( Hannah Pra.(?) 3:5-6). Anyone know anything about this group?

When people graduate from high school they typically have some sort of short or long-term plan; e.g., college. What will Mary be doing with her time? I'm assuming things are already as clean as they need to be. Will the grandkids be attending the School of the Meatless Burrito or is it a requirement that each mom teach her own offspring?

Too bad Steve-O threw away the beast. Otherwise, we could introduce him to a little show called "Full House" which shows that one house can accommodate multiple families under one roof with some simple remodeling! He could marry off the girls, and still get to keep them close!

On the fasting thread, Sarah notes that one woman is ' fasting' from chewing; only drinking. Hmmm. strange because here I thought fasting was from food or liquid or both...

I'm sure any man who is interested in getting a Maxwell for a wife would have to sit down and have a conversation with Steve about death. And probably something along the lines of:

"I'm going to give you several scenarios. I would you to explain how you would work death into the conversation.

~Visiting a friend who just had their first child.

~Attending a birthday party for a two year old.

~Standing in line at the grocery store with a mother who is holding a crying child.

~Waiting in line at the DMV.

Also, explain how you would react if the any of the people became insulted at the mention of death."

Also, while giving a sermon at a wedding.

Another wasted life. How sad. Keeping a daughter repressed because of greed and making her believe that her religion dictates it is as bad as an abusive father in Pakistan selling his daughter for a couple of cows.

Don't forget to make sure he doesn't idolize Pepsi, fun or eating more than the recommended serving of any food.

This reminds me of a bridal fair I went to with one of my sisters a couple of years ago. There was this woman selling life insurance and she would approach people and say "Have you thought about what you would do if one of you died?" Everyone avoided her booth. Not even the chocolate candy she was giving out could lure people into listening to her talk about death. :lol:

Agree!

While I agree Steve has done his daughters a huge disservice, he hasn't donehis sons any favors either. He pulled Nate and Chris out of an activity they loved, baseball. He discouraged Chris from being an EMT because of the work hours, that he might have to work with a woman, and accidently see boobs while on the job. Now he takes crappy wedding pics for a living. I think Steve was the reason Elizabeth called off her wedding to Joe. I also have a feeling he beat John just for being a rebel. As for Jesse, his journalistic masterpiece (sarcasm) on why he plans to homeschool his kids shows the shitty education they all got.
