What "disciplinary" camp? What's the name of it?

When Josh Duggar was showing some signs of being “rebellious” years ago, they sent him to Gothard’s military boot camp for young men, the ALERT Academy. He returned much subdued. They’ve done the same with some of the girls, sending them to Gothard’s Journey to the Heart programs, where they are reminded of how wi*ked and sinful they are and told again and again that following God means obeying their earthly parents.

*put a C there. Wouldn't let me post the word.

I'm sorry....I'm not understanding the problem. What's wrong with a rebellious teenager returning much more subdued and calm? What's wrong with girls learning how to be a faithful woman of God?

Missy?

My upbringing and ideals are very close to the Duggars. I understand them perfectly (except the pants thing...can't handle not wearing pants). It's kind of fascinating to me how people think they're so unusual. The many kids thing and the pants thing are the only things unusual about them to me. *shrug*

I'm with ya, Snarky. I loved having sibs and helped care for the younger ones when they came along. I know it made me a more responsible person and I learned a lot about cooking, finances and the managing of a home before I was on my own. But there were not 19 of us! And I so agree about the pants.

DH's dad came from a HUGE family. And I mean HUGE. They are very close and have many interesting stories to tell about life when they were kids at home.

Missy, think "finishing school for fundamental Christians".
