[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 547487, member: 1967"] They call themselves Southern Baptist but have church in their homes and it is not what most people would call traditional Southern Baptist. Jim Bob made his money in real estate and selling used cars. However, they lived in a very small house and didn't have much until picked up by TLC. The big house was built after they started making money on their television series. The trips are paid for by TLC. Their lives have dramatically changed since becoming famous. Even their home sewed frumpers (frumpy jumpers) have been replaced by more stylish name brand clothes. The girls are still not allowed to wear pants or sleeveless tops and and are made to wear "modest" swimwear. The Bates also lived in a very small house until becoming involved with TLC. TLC filmed episodes of the Duggars helping the Bates build the house. The Bates have admited having to borrow money from their oldest son Lawson to buy food at times. They also do not have health care and have said that they just go to the emergency room for their health care. I guess the rest of us pay for it although I am sure that they are against the affordable health care act. Most of the fundamentalists in the Quiverfull movement do not live that well. One of Anna's sisters lives in a pop-up trailer with her husband and seven kids. Josh met Anna at an ATI (Gothard) gathering in Texas. They were not allowed to be alone or kiss until after they were married. They were allowed to hold hands but even that is not allowed by some of the even more hard-core ATI followers. You are seeing a very sanitized view of the Duggars and Bates on those shows. [/QUOTE]
