Get thee behind me Satan. I don't really think she really knows God's message. It's sad really.

Pamy or anyone, can you post a link to where ever they are discussing this show at TWOP? I just can't navigate that site...

Didn't she apply to be on the show? What the heck was she expecting. My goodness.

I really feel sorry for the children. A great example of how families--and communities--perpetuate their prejudices. Reminded me of something you might see in an old 50s movie. I worked in a 2-person microfilm office for 6 months alongside a woman like that--she used to call up her friends and say (about me) that she was locked in a room with the Devil. I just laughed at her and looked upon her as some pitiful, odd species.

The daughter Brooke looked so tired and old for a 14 year old. And her husband, why would he bring up the fact that he'd only had sex with one woman his whole life, his wife. And then he adds, "not that that's a good thing."

Brooke reminded me of Cinderella. I also feel sorry for the dad (Barry). Wonder why he married her in the first place...

Yeah I felt bad for Brooke also. They're probably working her to death so that she won't have time to become pregnant like her older sister. The lil girl was a cutie though.

Right, Mamie, I heard the husband say that, too. Well she's one for the books, so it doesn't surprise me that he is, too. Wonder if it ever crossed his mind that his remark was demeaning to both himself and his wife and embarrassing (at the very least) for his children? I was very surprised that the older girl agreed to be hypnotized. Guess that showed she still had the capacity to find out for herself about something new, rather than blindly adopting her mother's perspective. How old was she, do you recall?

The mom said that she had the baby when she was 16 and a half or something like that so I guess she's about 24 or so.

I must have missed that the older daughter was pregnant (and unmarried?)--is that right? Wonder how the mother reconciled herself to that . . . did she comment on that? ETA: Thanks, Julieboo, just saw your post. Answers one of my questions!

She said that while she was praying on her daughter being pregnant so young, God came to her and told her that her daughter should open a dance studio. You just can't make this stuff up! LOL

Okay, that does it. I wonder if any of them has the sense to squirm as they watch themselves on TV.

I'm thinking that for the husband to make that comment (sex-one woman thing) that their marriage is on the rocks also but the wife is in her own little world and doesn't see it that way. Her comment about that she is the "Queen" shows that it is her way or no way. At least the other couple realizes that they do have some problems and probably being on this show will help them realize what brought them together in the first place and help them "iron" the problems out.

Dad needs to grow a pair, stand up to that woman, and stand up for his daughter.

Didn't the husband also say something like, 'No one would look at me in high school'? I read it as an explanation for why he married his wife. Gawd, how humiliating!

I don't EVER watch this show, but last night while watching Martha, I flipped past it on commercials. Oh my word what a bunch of close-minded people. I saw the part where the friends were attacking the woman because she wasn't Christian. I'm sorry, but that is just plain rude. Does the Christian religion preach that rudeness to others is right? I thought it was all about acceptance and taking in of people wo may have "lost their way". It makes me sad that there really ARE people like that out there.

I expect to see that woman put a rattlesnake in the house in the next episode, if you follow. ETA: I never watch it either, and now I know why. I don't need to watch <º> people.

Did anyone else catch the part where the group of women were attacking the hippy mom about her spirituality? In todays day and age, there is so much information out there on religion, theology, etc. that people are well aware of what choices they have in regard to faith and non faith. Christianity is based on peace, love, acceptance, and informing the uniformed. Don't judge, we will all be judged someday. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't force him to drink. I drives me absolutely nuts when people claim to be devout christians, but use it as a weapon to make other's submit. How is that peaceful, respectful, and loving? Who was this woman to try to change a family's dynamic? This is their way of life, it may be right it may be wrong, but it is theirs. She didn't have to participate in the activities, especially if she felt it went against everything she stood for, but to be blatantly rude about it was unnecessary. I loved the line in the commercials "Get the F*** out of my house, in Jesus' name I pray" I am sure Jesus loved that. Older sister needs to move out with her daughter. If she owns a successful dance studio, there is no reason she is still living at home. Poor younger sister. Like father like daughter. They both said they just sit back and be quiet about things.

What got me was they asked her if she believed in God and she said yes. And even after she said she believed in God, they went off on the "higher power" bit.

Yes, she said she believed in God and her kids did to, but the devout christian mom went off on a tangent. Some people only hear what they want to hear.
