Anyone watching TLC?

My wife and I are watching this show on TLC and it is on at midnight again. The show is called 16 kids and moving in.

Please tell this is not a fundie fanily. Everything points to it.

I mean it is unreal.

What is it they have a "liberal family" on you know Little People Big World which shows height chanellenged indivduals making a life for themselves now they have to balance it with a fundie family.

Maybe I'm being cruel but that is the impression I'm getting.

1. Just did

Looking at that house, I'm just imagining what the electric and gas bills will be like. I can only imagine what the food bill is like. Their oldest son may have a future in documentary filmmaking. He'll probably need to go to film school for that.

2. Do you honestly see that? They are home schooled... but then I don't

want to be too negative about home schooling. I just can't see that.

But tell me if my wife and I jumped to conclusion about them being fundies.

Seriously though... I can see someone screaming "Equal time! Equal time!"

3. They're definitely Christian fundamentalists.

There was another documentary on them on TLC last month, I think.

Lounge thread here (definitely a bit flame-y):

They (the family) has a website:

5. Yeah, it's definitely an education.

:scared:

My feelings on this subject are extremely mixed, but I find the topic fascinating.

Thanks for the heads-up about it; I'll try to catch the late showing. :hi:
