Bontragers/Bowers/Helferichs 10: Where In the World Is Allison Bon-Diego??
nelliebelle1197 posted a topic in Quiver Full of Snark
Things just get weirder in this circle…. Why did Allison leave Minnesota? Is everyone pregnant? Why won’t they tell us everything we want to know? If they did we would not have to make up stuff. Don’t they see how much they would save us from the sin of gossip?? Seriously though, who leaves like this? All at once and as a group? -
Bontragers/Bowers/Helferich 9: Oh Nos! Chelsey Married a Maxwell!
nelliebelle1197 posted a topic in Bontragers
The Bontragers have managed to marry most of their kids into just two families, the Bowers and the Helferich families. Chelsey is the rebel, having married John Maxwell, scion of the relatively sane Maxwell family. Yes, friends, we have a world in which Steve Maxwell is the more moderate patriarch.... -
Bontragers/Bowers 6: Allison Is Married! Who Will Date Her Brothers Now?

Marlin Bontrager is literally the worst person in the world this week; if you don’t believe me, read the last thread. -
So I was reading Mama Bontrager's list for mothers who are overwhelmed and they list that as four or more kids; as if mothers with LESS than a quiver don't feel overwhelmed??? At any rate, besides the "be in submission to your husband idea because mothers can make bad decisions on their own." part,, the book section for children made me scream. Curious George and Berenstain Bears are out!!!??? and of course Disney. You know besides having a crappy home school education, these poor children cannot even read good quality children's books. I hate fundies and all they do to restrict their children's learning. I want to kidnap every single one and let them loose in a public library.

Bontrager family hobnobbing with Ted Cruz
NachosFlandersStyle posted a topic in Quiver Full of Politics
Ted Cruz is rolling out a group called "Homeschoolers for Cruz," and Marlin Bontrager, patriarch of the singing family, gets top billing as chair. I guess they're the most prominent Iowa homeschoolers? Anyway, it sounds like the Cruz group is going to campaign nationally. The Bontragers have a post up on their blog about singing at one of his events. I'm picturing a bus tour like the Duggars did for Santorum, guess we'll have to wait and see. If Cruz does well, I could see this raising the family's profile a bit. http://blog.4president.org/2016/2016/01/ted-cruz-for-president-announces-homeschoolers-for-cruz-coalition-totaling-6670-members.html
