For those that are not aware of this family, they've had too many specials on TLC. The newest series ends up with her pregnant again with her 18th. Sorry, but it grosses me out having that many and none of them have an identity. All names begin with "J" and they all dress alike. *shivers* poor things.

those people scare me...I think they are trying to populate the world with Duggars...YIKES!

There was a great article on them and families like them in Bitch Magazine....it is their religion. Apparently somewhere in the bible it says to bear as many children as possible or something to that effect and therefore, they believe that if they are able they are to do so. So the crazy bitch wont ever stop popping them out- you know her uterus is screaming for help!

It's the be fruitful and multiply. Which was ok back when infant mortality was sky high and we were dealing with the plague and famines and stuff. But with today's modern medicine in developed countries it's really not necessary. If you can ever find it, there's a great article by Gore Vidal in the 25th anniversary issue of Playboy called "Sex vs. Politics and Vice Versa". This is one of the points he talks about in an article that deals mainly with how certain parts of Judaio/Christian scriptures are highlighted at different points in history to improve the lives of the wealthy/powerful. It was so good in its truthes.

As far as dressing them alike? Eyeew. I wouldn't even do that to twins if I had them. I never saw that as "cute". It's kind of sick actually.
