They're not allowed to have plans for college. Marriage/motherhood is their only option. |
Of course, because you can't be a Christian AND respect their values--their values do not reflect Christianity. |
One of them is in college. Probably a conservative Christian school, but idk. I just watched an episode where Jill said any one of them can go to college but she was passionate about becoming a certified midwife, which she is. |
It's so sad that they can't leave to go to college or work - they have to leave with a man. |
Wasn't Josiah courting a young woman a while back? Even if he's gay, I doubt that would stop him from marrying a woman. |
| Those girls were the free nannies, they all are leaving, what is Mama Duggar going to do now? |
| They all want to escape! Poor Jana, she has been left behind. |
| Does anyone remember when Jinger was the sassy one? She said she'd like to wear pants and she wanted to be a doctor. |
None has any college, they were home schooled or unschooled. Those girls are breeders. |

Why on earth are you guys interested in this?
|
What on Earth is the point of even posting this? Stay out of the thread if you don't care. |
No, it's a genuine question. I want to know what draws you to this kind of story. |
Very sad. She is my son's age. She should be making plans for her education and young adult life, not being handed from one man to another. She will be making babies for the next 20+ years. |
| It also makes me sad that (yes, I read a recap of the episode) when the guy was asking the dad to 'court', he said 'I've been noticing her over the years, she's such a hard worker, she's beautiful, etc.' okay, cool. I just hope the DAUGHTER is also interested in the guy coming to court rather than the dad selling off his girls to whoever shows interest. |
Midwifery is an option, but nothing certified, only training to be a lay midwife. Joseph went to two semesters at Crown College, which is unaccredited. Conservative Christian colleges are accredited institutes of higher learning. Those are not compatible with Gothard beliefs. For the Duggar girls, no, college is not an option. |
