Even if there wasn’t a pandemic, I don’t understand having a second baby shower when your first daughter is two years-old or so and you are having another girl. It’s just a gift grab. It’s not like Jinger is having a boy and needs baby clothes and toys that will clearly denote he is a boy since they wouldn’t want anyone thinking girls and boys can wear the same clothes and play with the same toys.

Yes to this! And the pandemic just makes this lethally selfish and stupid. Jinger not only puts herself, her family (Jer, Lissy),  and friends at risk. She is also risking the lives of the medical professionals, who will have to attend to her during labor.  She had the last baby in a hospital. She was also induced into labor. If I were the hospital, I would refuse to let her be induced, because she hadn't been social distancing. Come back when you're in labor! I'm sorry, but I'm so sick of there being no consequences for people's selfishness and stupidity.

This is actually a very interesting idea. Here, before going to work, school, etc., we have to fill out a survey stating among other things, whether or not we’ve XYZ’d, and, it would be interesting if someone 1) admitted to not socially distancing and was not allowed “elective” medical procedures because of it or 2) lies and is later found culpable if someone gets ill.

Would someone please have a baby shower for me?  I've never had one. My son is 48 but still he could use some new toys.

I’ll defend Jinger here a little bit. From that one photo of Jinger and one friend, it’s impossible to know how many people were at this gathering. The gift table looked very small and she probably only received baby outfits and “pamper mama” gifts, not new strollers or car seats, etc. It was also outdoors. I wouldn’t have done it, but I see my neighbors here in Illinois, which is experiencing higher covid cases than California recently, engaging in this type of behavior all the time. Jinger obviously doesn’t mind putting her maskless face up close to her friend’s maskless face, which I think is risky, because she did it again yesterday on Instagram. Maybe Jinger has already had covid and doesn’t think that she has to act cautiously now? 

I really don’t condone her behavior, but this photo doesn’t give a whole lot of information.

Don't need that much information, there is NO REASON to be having an in person baby shower. There is no reason to be gathering in churches, schools, offices, stores, restaurants, bars etc... just because someone thinks the pandemic is fake to make their lord & savior look bad. 

Right now Iowa has a 14 day average positivity rate of 23% yes I said 23% & our idiot Governor will do NOTHING about it & at the grocery store today I'd say about 1/3 of the people in the store did not have a mask on, even though it says they are mandatory to enter. When I said something to an employee he stated they've given up, the people are so hateful none of the employees want to deal with them anymore.  I'm so fucking sick of trumpers and their blatant stupidity, I just wish they could be refused medical treatment when they get sick.

I'm afraid that they'll be first in line at the ER and complaining about how long the wait is if they get sick.

Fellow Iowan. Completely, utterly disgusted, frustrated and mad! But you did forget that Kimmie did do something- she spent a boatload of money on public service announcements!  You know totally all the same dang things we've been told for months! Thanks so much! We need so much more.

 My county is very rural and our numbers have gone up by over 400 in two frigging weeks! But our county has issued a mask mandate. I don't go out by my husband got groceries yesterday and said everyone was masked. That's a plus, at least.

still waiting for the example of Jeremy talk/writing about being attracted to other women???? Or is this one of those myths that will be repeated from now on, but has never actually happened?

idk, I think barring a pandemic (obvs) if your friends want to throw you a second baby shower why wouldn't you let them? It's probably a nice thing to do to catch up before the baby arrives and people might like to get the new kid a toy/book/outfit that's just for them. I doubt it's hardcore, and if it is, presumably there are things you might need as well because Felicity is still using them? so maybe everyone clubs together to buy a second highchair or cot or double pushchair.

Here is one source.

The article says he talked about on Jeremy and Audrey Roloff's podcast.

I agree with you. I would guess that Jinger didn’t know any of her LA friends before she moved there, so they didn’t know her when she was pregnant with Felicity.

It’s very possible this shower was 5 or 6 friends gathering outdoors and physically distancing. I wouldn’t get as close as Jinger and her friend got in that photo, but it’s possible that they took ten seconds to take the photo and then went back to distancing. I’m actually surprised that people think that a small outdoor gathering is so egregious. I have met with a couple of friends one on one outdoors, physically distanced, without masks. I also met with a group of about ten, outdoors, physically distanced, with masks. The current guideline in California is no more than three households of people should gather outdoors. I’m betting that they broke that rule, but maybe not by much. The governor of California also recently broke that rule.

I would be so pissed if my husband asked me to “pray his purity”. Hell to the no 

Totally agree. If/when he continues to have impure thoughts, does this imply a problem with her praying?

I also notice, in the article, that he speaks FOR her, saying that she appreciates his honesty. I wonder what she really feels. I know I wouldn't want my husband to tell me every time he is lusting after another woman.  In her shoes, I would suggest he get a MALE accountability partner. I don't think it ever works for the wife to be the accountability partner.

Pence and the late Billy Graham have said they would not have dinner or be alone with other women. As far as we know they have been scandal free. Jeremy better take notes?

The speaking for her part is what got me. She has a mouth and is capable of speaking for herself. Poor Jinger! 
I don’t know where I stand on Jeremy confessing to her when he has impure thoughts. I think it depends on intention. If it’s done with humility and a genuine desire for help, go for it, I guess. I think the in-family confession thing is common amongst fundies. Personally, I think if Jeremy is truly struggling with looking at « impure » images, he would be better to see a therapist and figure out what is behind this.

I think that it is more seeing an image of a woman and thinking “she’s fit/ gorgeous etc”. I would hope that if Jeremy was having real feelings for other women that he’d seek professional help ie a real therapist. I suspect that this is a mountain being made out of a mole hill.

Either way, it’s crap that he does that to her.  If it’s a big deal because of their views, then it will be hurtful to her no matter what.   I know noticing attractive women doesn’t = cheating, but in their world it is a big deal and is made to be a big deal.   I actually don’t know of many men who make their wives their main accountability partner, even in super reformed circles.  Almost all of them have male accountability partners.

I think a lot of this is just filler for their podcasts. They are trying to set themselves up as experts on a godly marriage and they have to provide something to show how successful they are despite being just the same as us commoners and having sinful thoughts.

Jeremy knows which side his bread is buttered- the combined forces of the wrath of JB ( and the army of Duggar fans) and the lack of exposure on TV is enough deterrent to keep him from straying. Bow ties and fountain pens don’t buy themselves.

As I predict JinJer will stop at 4, I can see them having showers / 'sprinkles' for every pregnancy. It's pretty much the only thing Jinger is allowed to have in her life, so....
And I've no doubt they're convinced they and their friends are "washed in the blood of Jesus" so they don't need to 'fear' COVID-19.

Random: I assume JinJer are only in LA because of Jeremy's school thing (and perhaps fame chasing); their love of "all things classic" and preferred 'fashion' seems more suited for NYC, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's where they end up next. Just seeing the pics of them with their blazers and suits... they're way too formal for LA.

I've always thought this as well. Their style would work in D.C. too. But I don't think Jeremy would like being so outpaced education wise.

I think most men can look at a women that is attractive and think that they are attractive and find them attractive. The same as a Married women can watch magic Mike and think changing is hot. As long as you are respectful and go home and shag your partner who cares if you just look?  By look I don’t mean porn addiction or seek out/stalk attractive women. I just mean in every day encounters... 

I would be pissed if I had a partner that pointed out every pretty girl he found attractive. Yes I know they are attractive. Yes I know you are a man. As long as I’m the one you love respect and come home to. What do I care if the passing thought is wow she is beautiful or wow she is hot?  I don’t want to hear it. But people are human. I have been in relationships where I have found other men physically attractive when seeing them. I’m an adult. I don’t act on it. 
I don’t know if all this makes sense lol

@AussieKrissy it makes sense and I think it’s how most adults behave.

The Duggars are the heady combination of emotionally immature and self obsessed. They are so hung up on ‘purity’ they have no idea how relationships work but feel they are experts because their wedding was on TV.

I realise there may be a cultural difference here in relation to emoji use, but in Ireland that one means horny...which kinda alters what I think your point was... :laughing-rofl:

?

I want to be VERY clear about the fact that I wrote the word ”devil” to find that emoji and that Jeremy does not appeal to me in any way.  
And also that when it comes to emoji-use I am obviously pretty much illiterate.
