Jim Bob and Michelle aren't stupid and have trained all of their children in business (via IBLP Wisdom Booklets on Business and Business Law). It may be "Jessa's show", but her parents, siblings, and brother/sister-in-laws are all collecting paychecks for their appearances, courtesy of those same sponsors. Accountability starts with those checks; the Duggars are well aware who is funding this show. TLC is just the middle man. Every "star" knows who their sponsors are, it's disclosed in the contracts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-17690089756369222512018-10-05T13:44:14.783-05:002018-10-05T13:44:14.783-05:00What couple wants to remember their wedding day as...What couple wants to remember their wedding day as the day they were constantly on guard in case the groom's relatives decided to prank them as some sort of payback?

If not, they wouldn't keep renewing their contract with TLC. So what does that say about the their family values? Particularly given that they don't even allow their own children to watch the show or TLC? The network is not Christian, so you cannot expect them to act as if they were. The Duggars are.

They lack consideration or even basic awareness that it's her big day, that she's been dreaming about for years, and planning every little detail for years as she grows up. For a family that's supposed to have spent so much time training their children up, the guys are sorely lacking in this area. No bride is honestly and genuinely o.k. with having her wedding interrupted/upstaged by a prank. But what is she going to say with a camera crew in front of her, her new husband beside her, and being trained to always speak positively of your spouse in front of others? The boys act like boys, not men.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-25328200214317366042018-10-03T15:39:34.821-05:002018-10-03T15:39:34.821-05:00Isn’t revenge considered sinful?

That response is condescending and completely lacking in empathy for others who perceive jokes and pranks as nothing more than passive aggressive bullying. Being entertained by the pain or embarrassment of others is not a noble character trait. I've always thought of those in this category as lacking in self-esteem and have to build themselves up at the expense of others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-1659493806789347972018-10-02T22:44:18.011-05:002018-10-02T22:44:18.011-05:00If you watch Counting On, then TLC is Counting On ...If you watch Counting On, then TLC is Counting On you seeing those commercials, you know.
