[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I find ironic is that the Duggars had a kid in the NICU for months. They used the services of many highly trained nurses with graduate degrees, yet they would decry these women as sinful for going to college and grad school, wearing pants etc. Complete hypocrisy.[/quote] I doubt the Duggars believe these educated people are going to hell because they have degrees. If they did think that, they probably wouldn't interact with them whatsoever. They're not Amish.[/quote] They are not Amish, but they reject "worldly" beliefs such as e.g. evolution and equal opportunity for women. They believe that gender = destiny and have not prepared any of their children for college education. http://observer.com/2014/12/the-duggars-politics/ http://jezebel.com/5939635/the-duggars-are-an-evil-cult The Duggars are part of a very specific subculture of the Christian homeschooling world, one dominated by leaders like Doug Phillips of Vision Forum and Bill Gothard of ATI, whose incredibly restrictive teachings and controlling practices have earned them the adjective “cult-like.” These organizations and leaders teach that children must be trained to obey their parents completely, without question, and with a smile; that women are not to have careers and that daughters should be actively discouraged from considering such; that adult daughters must continue to obey their fathers and must marry through parent-controlled courtships; that college attendance is problematic for children of either gender but especially for girls; and that marrying and having large numbers of children is the only godly path available. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/lovejoyfeminism/2014/08/an-open-letter-to-duggar-defenders.html#ixzz3XrQ6jpod Therefore, they decry as sinful e.g. a woman who practices medicine while leaving her children in the care of a nanny or in daycare.[/quote]
