It is much more honorable to want to keep your own family safe then to take a risk by letting just "anyone" in their home and lives. They let people be personable with them in other ways now. Such as, book signings, music programs, conferences. This was a wise choice they made. They are true believers in Christ. One thing you can't fake is being genuine. . And they are very genuine!

I don't think it's fair to say that they've become a different family. As others have stated, these things are for safety and of course they don't have the time. I've been surprised already reading through these fan posts that the Duggars DO take so much time to talk to their fans. If I were them, I would be the nodding head/glazed eyes type at this point, but it sounds like they genuinely try to talk to people. That in itself is amazing, considering the thousands of people who have approached them to talk to them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-14389751910164572312016-06-16T10:29:30.876-05:002016-06-16T10:29:30.876-05:00Pretty sure it just meant a pot luck dinner after ...Pretty sure it just meant a pot luck dinner after service.

I heard a rumor that people were leaving horrible messages on their cell phones. At some point you have to step back and say "what is good for our family?" I sent a letter right after I had my daughter and never heard anything back but it doesn't bother me.

I don't want to be a fan that is wild about everything to do with them but I am a person who watches them and keeps up with them as if they are some old friends of mine - even if I have not met them personally! - or what I want one day in my own family! I would have loved to be friends with the older girls as from what I have seen and heard, they are the kind of people I would really value as friends! I am actually the same age as Joy-Anna (about a year older, I'm actually a few months younger than Josiah) and I also have 6 brothers, though Joy-Anna has the blessing of many sisters too, unlike me! I have 4 sisters in heaven but none on earth. She is very blessed! :) <br />May God bless the Duggar family! They are always in my prayers as I keep up with how their family is going! I love to see all the new members of their family and look at all the photos they share with us :)<br />Thank you Lily and Ellie for this blog. As I am now busy working, I don't get to visit the blog as often but the email updates help me see any new photos or updates! God bless, you are also in my prayers! :)<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-5420568975548662772016-06-12T18:15:18.731-05:002016-06-12T18:15:18.731-05:00Wisest comment ever posted.

It doesn't mean that they have changed in how much they love the Lord and serve Him. We are called to be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves. They are being "wise as serpents" in protecting themselves from the many who hate them and want to do them harm. I doubt that many of us would do anything less in such a time as this.Always Learninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15764938913852283082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-30251075751047440722016-06-12T07:36:27.145-05:002016-06-12T07:36:27.145-05:00What is "pot" faith?What is "pot" faith?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
