FOCUSING ON THE FLAWS OF FUNDAMENTALISM SINCE 2005
Welcome to Free Jinger. Before you dive in, here is a little bit about what this site is all about.
Free Jinger is a free speech zone. We do not moderate based on anything other than hate speech. If you don’t like what someone is saying, challenge them. We prize logic and reason here, as well as thoughtful debate. We do not believe in deleting content, except in very rare situations. In other words, the internet is forever, so think before you post.
If you found us from a Google search of "Duggars", you should know this is not a Duggar fan site. So what specifically is discussed here at Free Jinger? The main forum is Quiverfull of Snark. Primarily Free Jinger is used to discuss the ways of extremists and fundamentalists, mainly religious fundamentalists, and the impact that has on our society. We also have quite a snarky side. Sometimes the discussion is very serious, sometimes it is humorous. The discussions can get quite heated, and may even border on venting so please, no grammar or punctuation policing. 'Text speak' is not allowed. If topics religious, feminist, or reproductive will harm your psyche, consider carefully before you wade in.
On this site we also have forums to discuss misogyny and other issues going on in the world. And for when you're in a lighter mood, there are a few fun forums for discussing entertainment and hobbies.
If your viewpoint tends to the “traditional,” you don’t need to leave – in fact, you are welcome, because otherwise we’re just a bunch of hens agreeing with each other – but you do need a nice thick hide and the intellectual ability to defend your thinking. “Because Mama and Jesus told me so” is not good enough.
Please read our Guidelines, Terms of Use (ToU), and Welcome New Members pages.
You have been warned.
Welcome

1 hour ago, viii said:I think the whole reason we saw Anna appear on Counting On was because she pushed her way onto it. I don’t think TLC cared that much about her. I’m not saying Anna is a genius mastermind, but I think it’s incredibly naive to say she’s not a sharp knife.
I don’t think she is all that clever. She seems to be someone who is invested in her role and who knows how to make that role work for her but not much more. Unfortunately for her, Josh has not been equally good at playing the role assigned to him. So she is stuck with dealing with the messes he makes. It limits her getting what she wants.
I don’t think she pushed her way into the first season of “Counting On.” I think her disclosure of how she had handled Josh’s fall, and so forth was very much wanted by TLC. It helped get the new show going. I do suspect that after that first season, TLC thought her connection to Josh was a potential liability and anyway her life wasn’t that interesting after the Fall of Josh version 1 had been “milked” sufficiently.

1 hour ago, Jackie3 said:Wow, I disagree. Anna doesn't seem like she's getting ANYTHING that she wants. She wanted Josh to stop looking at porn, for one. She didn't make that happen.
@Jackie3 FWIW, Your quote box makes it seem I am the one who said that Anna was able to get what she wanted. I didn’t. I was quoting @viii, and although I grant that she may be sneaky and manipulative, I think she doesn’t have success on the big things she wants. I pointed out that Anna is “hardly a domestic fundie Machiavelli.” So I am sort of between you and viii on this one. I think Anna does get some things she wants, but I not all.

I highly doubt there’ll be an M8 before Josh is out of jail. After he’s done his time (which might be far shorter than we hope or he deserves)? Quite possibly.

Yeah I know other peple who would object to the song. And Ava will have a sister in December.
