Yet, they know that many women do. So, for them they saw it as an opportunity to share their hearts and their lives with a broad audience. I think modest girls being covered in a popular magazine is something to celebration!

One thing they are always very clear about is making the point that they are following their own "personal convictions." I don't find them to be cherry picking, but to be seeking to apply what they have been personally convicted of through their personal study and journey of faith. While I am a Christian, I don't have the same convictions the Duggars do - but they have been very careful, from my perception, not to make others feel like guilty sinners or to "tell others what to believe." Rather, I see them interacting with all sorts of people, many very different from them, not with judgment, but with love. They hold themselves and their family to a specific standard, but I believe they seek to be good witnesses and role models for others, not judges.

That's just too much. Little kids hold hands on the playground and kiss their friends on the cheek. And do the girls still live at home with their parents? I'm just saying being 20 & above and living at home? These girls are way too sheltered and haven't even lived life. They try to act like everything is perfect if you do things like this. Everyone sins. God knows we are not perfect so why pretend like you are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-79380213758869622762014-03-23T23:15:26.364-05:002014-03-23T23:15:26.364-05:00I bought my first (and only) Cosmo when I was in m...I bought my first (and only) Cosmo when I was in my 30s.

Most of us who follow the Duggars have head the same questions repeatedly with the same canned answers. I, too, wish they would allow any questions to be asked and reply to them honestly. The Duggars are purpose not to live in the main stream world and that is their choice; however, any advice from them is limited to their limited experiences and education.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-51520906699391842022014-03-22T15:03:16.762-05:002014-03-22T15:03:16.762-05:00Amen Maggie & Anne! :)Amen Maggie & Anne! :)Mary Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794753971975216620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-52648184654641475912014-03-22T05:30:51.197-05:002014-03-22T05:30:51.197-05:00glad the duggars are doing this interview with thi...glad the duggars are doing this interview with this magazine. but they keep saying the same thing over and over again. and if they want to help those who do not know christ they need to be out in the real world not kept home under mom and daddy wing. why do these girls not hold jobs. or even attend a real school?lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11026002410471616578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-67026461878645995002014-03-22T01:23:17.785-05:002014-03-22T01:23:17.785-05:00We are to be in this world not of it.

Today the type of makeup they wear is not associated with a particular group or characteristic and is done in a tactful way. If we look at every law that existed then and do not take into account culture of the time then we would still be offering sacrifices among other things. It seems to me that the views you have are something that God has spoken to you about on a personal level and are therefore right for you. However, for others God speaks differently, the Duggars have a God sent message to give to their viewers and they are very successfully doing that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-22192872762564384782014-03-21T11:16:52.297-05:002014-03-21T11:16:52.297-05:00Why does this website post comments in which accol...Why does this website post comments in which accolades are give to the Duggars?

I think it is so important to remember who would be reading this magazine, and how they might be touched or convicted by it. God could speak into a life that needs to hear something that one of the girls said in this interview and that is probably why they chose to do the interview. Remember, Jesus came for those who were sick and broken. He wasn't afraid to dine with the sinners, because thats who He was ministering to, (All while setting an example to those who were self righteous.) God is so good and has a perfect plan in why He wanted this interview in the magazine. Even if it only touches one life and helps us to see that we need to go out into the world for those who desperately need to hear the Good news and that stronger boundaries are great and not impractical!

True, they both are profiting from media exposure but the avenues taken are diverse. I find it refreshing that young women like the Duggars, can maturely present themselves without use of profanity, without illicit behavior and naughty beaus, and while fully clothed. Amazing!
