No they don't. They are a bunch of hypocrits who claim to be so religious and yet have a TV show where they are making a heck of a lot more money than you and I...so they can support their family. He is in Real Estate and was supposedly some muckty schmuck on Capitol Hill. Anybody with 18 children needs a sign that says
Oh forgot to mention....everybody's name starts with a "J"!!!
You know, I hate children and think anyone who has them is crazy and needs a sign that says
Do you kind of see how juvenile your comment sounded?
Seriously, though, my family on both sides was freaking huge. Their families before theirs were even larger. At one time in this country it was the total norm to have as many kids as you possibly could and women had them until menopause (and sometimes even then).
The Duggar family may be making money off a tv show. Good for them. We all wish we could right? But what makes them hypocrites? They do work. They do instill their religious values in their children (and it appears to work too). The dad is a lay preacher. They've formed a community outreach ministry. Etc. I don't see hypocrites, I see you and others sounding judgmental and jealous.
I don't begrudge anyone success. I also don't begrudge anyone their family. I also don't begrudge anyone the opportunity to do what they think is best for themselves and their children. :shrug:
