Guys, indulge me. I know it seems like we’re turning into Duggar headquarters here, but I’m just so fascinated by evangelicals and their insanity. Plus, this is juicy! We all know Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald got married and saved their first kiss until after the ceremony, but it gets better: apparently Jessa’s sister Jinger (???) went to get Jessa in one of the church’s back rooms for the reception and walked in on a rather… untoward scene. This, according to a wedding guest called “Mary B.” who wrote an account of the scenario on her blog (note: the entry has now been edited, but this is the Internet and others copied it before it could disappear forever):
I was very upset when I was told about the incident that was witnessed by [my daughters] when the door to the room [Jessa and Ben] were in was accidently opened. I am not sure why they would not wait for the evening to pray and then consumate God’s marriage.
The Lord has blessed them and brought them together. To hear so many people discussing what they inadvertendly walked into was heartbreaking and troubling. Why did this happen? How could this beautiful, joyus day now be forever tainted and destroyed by rumors about what the girls may (or may not have) seen? And if this is true why would they commit such an act in the Lord’s home…the same Lord who guided them together. This really made me question Ben’s headship and leadership skills. I pray he is not swayed to evil. I pray he acts as strong husband and worship leader to Miss Jessa. I have a terrible, guy feeling. I have tried talking to my husband about this but he has said he will not talk about it until he prays about it and gets an answer from the Lord. This on average takes about 48 hours for him to recieve an answer.
“Ben needs to be a stronger leader and not allow Jessa to be led away by temptation. … This responsibily lays on the woman, as it’s proven that men have a much harder time.”
HAHAHA this is so rich. Here are my favourite parts:
1. Mary’s husband gives God a 48-hour reply window. I can hear back from Amazon customer service quicker (not an original joke, I know – many others have said the same).
2. Jessa is going to be led away by temptation? It’s Ben’s job to keep her in line? What kinda fundamentalist bullshit…
3. LOL at Jessa being so horny she couldn’t wait to get out of the church. You could totally tell from that Instagram pic!!
I love these freaks. I’ve never watched a single episode of their show, but I feel like I need to binge watch the entire series immediately so I can immerse myself in this insanity. What would Kirk Cameron say?
Wow Jennifer, I don’t agree with what these people believe in, but you really come off as a judgemental asshole. Considering how PC and high and mighty you are in some of your other posts, this is kinda surprising….
people born and living in the deep south tend to be god fearing and have completely different values than people in some other parts of the country and world do.
I think it just goes back to
Judge not, lest ye (or your daughter, or your friend’s daughter) be caught f*cking in a church closet
Planted story in attempts to get stupid people to watch their stupid show. They’re a fame whore family just like all the rest.
