17 Kids and Counting on TLC
2/4/2009 at 12:44 PM
Does anyone watch this show and if so, what are your thoughts? I find this family absolutely fascinating, likely becuase they are polar opposites of myself and my world. I think the parents deserve a lot of credit for raising such well behaved kids (at least that's what we see), but on the other hand, I think a lot of their beliefs and ideas are a little nutso. I definitly don't agree with some of their teachings, such as denying the facts of dinosaurs based on their religious beliefs, even though scientfic proof is there. And this whole no kissing thing before marriage...yikes!
Did anyone watch the wedding of the oldest son? I must say, as much as I'm fascinated by the show, I found the wedding episode to be very uncomfortable to watch, especially the first kiss. They were just so naive about everything to do with love and partnership. Anyway, just wanted to know what others thought of this show and this family and the way they live.
