Jessa Duggar

Hey All,
I wanted to talk about Jessa Duggar.  I know that the comments she recently made comparing the Holocaust to abortion, are not very popular.  I just want to say, that Jessa grew up in a very religious family.  She was home schooled my her Mom and other people from the same faith.  Their family was never allowed to watch television, unless it was a previously ok'd by her parents.  They never went to the movies, and when they first came onto the seen, they made their own clothes, ( they don't anymore, thankfully! LOL) they also have a code word for when they are in New York, or really anywhere that they go, and the code word is for when they are walking down the street, and one of the parents feels that someone on the street, (a female) is wearing what they consider sinful clothing, and when they say the code word the kids are supposed to immediately supposed to look straight down at the ground until they are allowed to look up again!  I think that it is funny that their own Mom was a cheerleader in High School, wearing a very short skirt, ect., but now they decided that wearing clothes that make woman desired by a boy or a man is sinful.  The girls are getting married to boys/men (Jessa's husband is still in his teens) that they have been (courting) for only months, they never dated anyone else, they have never kissed anyone else. or for that matter, they never even held hands till they were engaged! They even have to have  chaperons go on their dates with them, to make sure that they don't hold hands or anything sinful like that! What I don't get is that if they have spent their whole lives being taught that they shouldn't do these things, and their mom and Dad trust them, then why do they need a chaperon the girls are supposedly the ones that have made the rules  about dating, so why do they need a chaperon to make sure that they don't break their own rules??? There was even a time that they were saying a prayer before a meal, and Jessa and Ben were sitting next to each other and held hands while the prayer was said, and that caused a little stir within the group! I kinda doubt that God will hold it against them!  I just think that at the ages that these girls are, how do they really know if this is the guy for them, they have only known them for a very short time and they have dated no one else.  So I know that I was just rambling, but that is why I have my blog, so no one in my family has to listen to me!! LOL Anyway, Jessa has been taught that dinosaurs were never here for millions of years, because nothing was here until Adam and Eve.  They are only taught what their religion wants them to be taught, so give her a break, she is just relying on the information that she was given.  Just Sayin'  Karen♥
