@homeo02 hey, yeah, i learnt it and it's one of my favourites. it's called 'it's through the blood'. the original chorus is It's through the blood that's all i have to plea it's through the blood that jesus shed for me not by works of my own righteousness for filthy rags are they but because of that old rugged tree hanging on dark cavalry that is my only plea it's through the blood
@homeo02 The name of this hymn is called "It's Through the Blood" It won't let me put a link in here to the lyrics but if you Google the title it will come up. Hope that helps.

this family is CREEPY!!!! the mother always haas a blank look in her eyes & they REALLY need condoms....i hope Michelle doesn't die during child birth. I hear she is pregnant with her 20th child......weirdos...
thank you so much for this!! i love this family so much and through some of their values confuse me, they are a great example of a loving God loving Christian family
I love how this family has great family values and love for each other. It is their RIGHT to have as many kids as they want. They accept no public assistance money, are self supporting from businesses they own, and loved by millions of people. No one hear has the right to make THEIR business....YOUR business. It you don't like the show ....turn it off. Thank you Duggars for your inspiration that you give.
I agree that they have a right to have as many kids as they want. BUT, they don't have a right to use their older daughters as proxy caregiver to the detriment of their own interests and advancements. They are like teen moms.
evry body needs to stfu this women has 18 kids that she has gave them life their happy their not gonig to be doing drugs and worshiping the devil when their over ,every little kid will misbehave at sometimes but who cares their not yours,god bless you duggar family

To MrgwhFL: Thank you. I have great respect for anyone who becomes a teacher, especially in today's society. Plus, I rather be called a school teacher than be deemed an uneducated individual lacking the ability to think about concepts that go beyond what the eye sees.
um they had the kids BEFORE THE SHOW EVEN STARTED. and they provide for the kids by owning propertys and renting them out. and they believe that the Lord will give them the amount of children that they can handel. they are such a loveing and kind family. dont know them personaly but watch them on t.v
The Bates sound so nice singing. I actually enjoyed their singing. Better then them darn Duggars and that annoying violin they force their kids to play for entertaining purposes, when they don't know how. Duggars sound a hot mess. I put the Duggar singing on and dogs in yards start barking like fire-truck sirens has gone by. LOL
Such awful comments coming from someone that start their sentence with "Them poor kids ..." and use phrases such as "bitches babymaker". Instead of judging so harshly why don't you take the time you spent to insult this family and understand their belief system. By the way, check your spelling and grammar while you are it.
gee, let's take a look at this: kids are happy & healthy, they're loved, mom & dad don't argue, they love eachother, they have the confidence to raise their children (not yours) they way they feel is best. The kids are not being used - I wish I had been raised with so much love. OR you can have the other end of this ruler - Jon & Kate plus eight whacked out kids.
Boy, these people annoy me. You want to have lots of kids? Fine. You want to homeschool them? Fine. These kids are so sheltered, but if thats what the parents want, Fine again. But then, why do they do appearances such as this where they basically put their children on display? Those older girls clearly look uncomfortable.
I think people are entitled to raise thier families as they see fit as long as they aren't hurting anyone and they clearly aren't. This certainly isn't for everybody.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Ok, so they're not hurting anyone else, but what about their own kids? Would you display your kids as if they were a circus act or something? That to me is just wrong.
Thier not displaying thier kids like they are a circus act, they seem to be very proud of all thier kids. I think they feel they have something to share about thier faith and thier lifestyle. I don't share thier faith or thier lifestyle but I don't think they are hurting anyone and the kids aren't forced. There are times when certain of the older kids have other things to do and don't participate in these things.
@nancylp1111 You have that right. "18 Kids and Counting""You Ask, Duggars Answer" didn't go smoothly because there were many interuptions from the younger kids. A retreat came up that the four oldest girls REALLY wanted to go on and their parents decided it was more important for them to do the retreat then the show. More recently, the four oldest Duggar girls were away overseas on a misson trip when Michelle gave birth prematurely. Their parents told them to complete the trip.
Jinger looks like once she makes the break for it she's gonna do something wild and crazy, like buy a pair of jeans. Jessa and Jill are the hottest. lol

I love this family. We had the priviledge of spending an evening with them & meeting their children on differnet occasions & they are the most kind, genuinely happy people I've ever met. The key to their success in raising happy children & having such a strong family bond has been the Lord & they would testify to that. May they continue to be a guiding light to the Lord in this dark world...where many people don't understand & stand to critisize this sweet family. I can't wait to see them again.
I really love the way they're raising their kids. We don't need media dictating how we should be living, or even affecting us. I love that they love the Lord the way they do, and how their daughters all get purity rings. It's awesome! They are so exceptionally wise with their money, and God has so blessed them!
Having to learn around kids of all ages in our home verses only learning amongst kids of one age group in a classroom is great. I'll never make the mistake of forcing them in a public school again. Not only that, my kids wasted so many hours in school when at home it took way less time to learn the same stuff. Not only that, they learn other skills they could never learn in a public school setting.
I was raised without a TV and now my six kids are raised without a TV. I'm so happy because I don't want my kids acting like the "real world". The bible says to seperate ourselves from them. My kids love to read like crazy, ride their bikes, play outside, have fun being together, eating together, and going on family trips together. I had my kids in a public school for awhile and they went downhill fast in their academics and social skills.
my wife was our childrens teacher in preschool. When she became pregnant with our third, she quit and homeschooled. The same teacher, but homeschooled and our kids flourished! They developed better social skills, their behavior improved, and their academics advanced amazingly. My daughter was reading books (without pictures) by the time she was 4. Homeschool, done right, has amazing benefit!
That's awesome! I know what you mean. My kid's behavior improved dramatically when I pulled them out of public school. They are more polite, achieve more in a shorter amount of time. My kids begged me to pull them out of school and homeschool them. I'm glad I did.
I've read some negative comments by people but I feel that the Duggars are a very sweet (and large) family! Maybe it's old-fashioned, but please don't forget that having large families used to be a necessity. I personally want to adopt, and that's my right. Michelle wants to bear as many children as possible, and that's her right.
your right, I want to adopt too. And it is Michelle who has to carry all of these children so if she can handle it, good for her. People are just jealous because they don't have a loving family.
b/c Joshua was in the bible so they named the first josh and jana and john-david were just names they liked but as each kid came out they didnt want it to feel left out by the older kids having a " J "and the younger ones not
the dugger are amazing and it sounds like a lot of you have our own issue.....
and it might help if some of u would open your bibles bc God dose love kids and its wrong 4 u to contol how many kids you want i say that it should be up to God
Except that they have to be on a television show to be able to house that many kids. They would not have a 7,000 sq ft mansion if they were not getting paid by the learning channel. Also 18 kids have put Michelle's health at risk. A uterus can only do so much.
WRONG. You have to read the book 20 and Counting and it tells you in detail their finances all the way till now starting from getting married. I bet that was a nice big guess on your part saying it's because of the show. They housed many kids before this show even started and they built this house super cheap from cash they had saved for years. Even the furniture in their new house is used. Try to not make guesses like these. That's embarassing for you not knowing the facts.

Can't child protective services get involved. They are abusing their rights as parents to turn all the kids life into a side show. The Partridge Family was one. True that was Hollywood but this is real life. These parents are exploiting their children and that is a crime. 18 kids and none of them is having issues with this? It doesn't sound right.
b2-This is not exploitation in their eyes. They're doing "God's work" by spreading the word. I mean, this IS in fact, weird. But, abuse? Not sure. As for none of them having issues w/this: I dont believe that all 18 of the kids actually LIKES this attention. I DO believe that since JimBob is the "authority" in the family, the kids dont have a choice to be involved or not. Whast Daddy says, goes for them. Most are too little to even think for themselves anyway.
Being you put it that way "God's Work" makes me understand a lot better now. There is some distance family I have similar to the situation. And they are "their kids". We all have are own way to raise them, no matter how many we have.
b2-indeed. I feel for these kids tho. They cant make their own choices. They'll grow up to be adults who cant have an original thought of their own. Its quite sad all around.
It is pimping your family out and thinking that spewing out a bunch of kids somehow honors God or anyone else. It's delusion on their part for thinking their older kids should want to raise the younger ones. That is NOT fair to them and you can screw with people's minds by calling it religion but that just doesn't fly with most people. It's pathetic & stupid to mindlessly breed.
Mitsy-Amen. I dont agree w/most of what they believe in. I DO believe the kids are loved & are well cared for-on the outside appearance. I DO wonder what we DONT see when cameras are off. I wonder if a few of the kids silently is struggling w/this way of life. Its all they know-but w/the exposure they DO get, ie: NYC-if their curiosity is awake & to what extent? Jinger was asked about NOT "courting" but her choice to date instead. Her answer w/o a blink or a 2nd thought: "that wont happen."
u r right too. I never thought of it that way, but because the kids don't watch TV it must be a shock to them when they are in another city and strangers come up saying they know them. I love the Duggar family, but that is the question I have. How r they going to live in the real world when they turn 18, 19, 20, 21 and still are not married. Josh was lucky, but what happens when they have to go find a job and deal with the real world.
bgirl-one of the girls talked about when people come up to them & say they know them. I cant remember which girl tho-& they said it was weird, but fun. About living int he real world-JimBob stated on the very first special (14 & preg. again) that they wanted to build the 7000 sq.ft. house w/a HUGE amount of acres in case some of the kids wanted to build homes for their own meg-families. Its sounding more & more like a compound/cult to me. I like this family. Theyre sweet, but they worry me too.
What is wrong with letting your children decide whether they want to live by you or somewhere else? Josh is living with his wife on his own away from the area. If Jim was wanted them to not have a choice, he would've built a house right then and there on the spot before they were married. I would love it if all my six kids grew up and wanted to live in the same neighborhood with me. I would be thrilled. But if they don't, at least they know how much I love being around them
I was raised without a TV all of my growing up years. I'm doing just fine. I now have six kids, I've been married 10 years, I'm 29 and we love our life. I'm not confused. I didn't need Sesame Street to teach the facts of life. I didn't need 90210 to teach me about sex before marriage and how damaging it is. I'm glad TV wasn't allowed in our home. It's not in my home either
If you would have read my comment right I didn't say anything about TV damaging them. I said because they are on TV it must be a shock to them when they meet strangers who know who they are on the streets. Especially the younger kids. I didn't mean for it to come off like you think it did.

That is my only plea

They developed better social skills, their behavior improved, and their academics advanced amazingly. My daughter was reading books (without pictures) by the time she was 4. Homeschool, done right, has amazing benefit!

That's awesome! I know what you mean. My kid's behavior improved dramatically when I pulled them out of public school. They are more polite, achieve more in a shorter amount of time. My kids begged me to pull them out of school and homeschool them. I'm glad I did.

I've read some negative comments by people but I feel that the Duggars are a very sweet (and large) family! Maybe it's old-fashioned, but please don't forget that having large families used to be a necessity. I personally want to adopt, and that's my right. Michelle wants to bear as many children as possible, and that's her right.
God Bless!

your right, I want to adopt too. And it is Michelle who has to carry all of these children so if she can handle it, good for her. People are just jealous because they don't have a loving family.

Why do some parents feel the need to use the same letter to name all of their kids???

b/c Joshua was in the bible so they named the first josh and jana and john-david were just names they liked but as each kid came out they didnt want it to feel left out by the older kids having a " J "and the younger ones not

Hello there..
I dont think that this kids are in NO way being abused or exploited! They are indeed a perfect example of what a real
family should be like (in everyway). I would love for my family to be like theirs.
God Bless you all!

Except that they have to be on a television show to be able to house that many kids. They would not have a 7,000 sq ft mansion if they were not getting paid by the learning channel. Also 18 kids have put Michelle's health at risk. A uterus can only do so much.
iraqidolphin 2 years ago
WRONG. You have to read the book 20 and Counting and it tells you in detail their finances all the way till now starting from getting married. I bet that was a nice big guess on your part saying it's because of the show. They housed many kids before this show even started and they built this house super cheap from cash they had saved for years. Even the furniture in their new house is used. Try to not make guesses like these. That's embarassing for you not knowing the facts.

No individuality allowed. They must conform and perform as servants to their parents religious beliefs.

Can't child protective services get involved. They are abusing their rights as parents to turn all the kids life into a side show. The Partridge Family was one. True that was Hollywood but this is real life. These parents are exploiting their children and that is a crime. 18 kids and none of them is having issues with this? It doesn't sound right.
b24line 2 years ago
b2-This is not exploitation in their eyes. They're doing "God's work" by spreading the word. I mean, this IS in fact, weird. But, abuse? Not sure. As for none of them having issues w/this: I dont believe that all 18 of the kids actually LIKES this attention. I DO believe that since JimBob is the "authority" in the family, the kids dont have a choice to be involved or not. Whast Daddy says, goes for them. Most are too little to even think for themselves anyway.

Being you put it that way "God's Work" makes me understand a lot better now. There is some distance family I have similar to the situation. And they are "their kids". We all have are own way to raise them, no matter how many we have.
b24line 2 years ago
b2-indeed. I feel for these kids tho. They cant make their own choices. They'll grow up to be adults who cant have an original thought of their own. Its quite sad all around.

It is pimping your family out and thinking that spewing out a bunch of kids somehow honors God or anyone else. It's delusion on their part for thinking their older kids should want to raise the younger ones. That is NOT fair to them and you can screw with people's minds by calling it religion but that just doesn't fly with most people. It's pathetic & stupid to mindlessly breed.
Mitsy1212 2 years ago
Mitsy-Amen. I dont agree w/most of what they believe in. I DO believe the kids are loved & are well cared for-on the outside appearance. I DO wonder what we DONT see when cameras are off. I wonder if a few of the kids silently is struggling w/this way of life. Its all they know-but w/the exposure they DO get, ie: NYC-if their curiosity is awake & to what extent? Jinger was asked about NOT "courting" but her choice to date instead. Her answer w/o a blink or a 2nd thought: "that wont happen."
DesertSerenade 2 years ago
u r right too. I never thought of it that way, but because the kids don't watch TV it must be a shock to them when they are in another city and strangers come up saying they know them. I love the Duggar family, but that is the question I have. How r they going to live in the real world when they turn 18, 19, 20, 21 and still are not married. Josh was lucky, but what happens when they have to go find a job and deal with the real world.
bgirl19872 2 years ago
bgirl-one of the girls talked about when people come up to them & say they know them. I cant remember which girl tho-& they said it was weird, but fun. About living int he real world-JimBob stated on the very first special (14 & preg. again) that they wanted to build the 7000 sq.ft. house w/a HUGE amount of acres in case some of the kids wanted to build homes for their own meg-families. Its sounding more & more like a compound/cult to me. I like this family. Theyre sweet, but they worry me too.

What is wrong with letting your children decide whether they want to live by you or somewhere else? Josh is living with his wife on his own away from the area. If Jim was wanted them to not have a choice, he would've built a house right then and there on the spot before they were married. I would love it if all my six kids grew up and wanted to live in the same neighborhood with me. I would be thrilled. But if they don't, at least they know how much I love being around them
Virginia777 2 years ago
I was raised without a TV all of my growing up years. I'm doing just fine. I now have six kids, I've been married 10 years, I'm 29 and we love our life. I'm not confused. I didn't need Sesame Street to teach the facts of life. I didn't need 90210 to teach me about sex before marriage and how damaging it is. I'm glad TV wasn't allowed in our home. It's not in my home either
Virginia777 2 years ago 4
If you would have read my comment right I didn't say anything about TV damaging them. I said because they are on TV it must be a shock to them when they meet strangers who know who they are on the streets. Especially the younger kids. I didn't mean for it to come off like you think it did.
bgirl19872 2 years ago
