The Duggars are very controversial. They seem to equally enrage and delight people of all ages. I’ll just say to you what I said to my husband last night as I watched the show, “I like them. I wouldn’t raise my kids the same way, but they seem to be genuinely kind and lovely people. They are gentle and good-natured and are accepting of all sorts of people. So, just because I wouldn’t want to wear a skirt all the time or because I think it’s OK to date more than one person (heck, I obviously think it’s OK to marry more than one person!), doesn’t mean I think they are hideous because they don’t agree. And I have a feeling they would extend me the same courtesy.”
From Josh and Anna Duggar’s website:
“Meet Josh - Josh was raised in Arkansas, the first child born to Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar. He accepted Christ at the age of seven, was homeschooled and graduated from High School at the age of sixteen. His father entered politics in Arkansas in 1998, serving two terms as a State Legislator in the Arkansas House of Representatives.
Josh became interested in politics and now does part-time consulting for elected officials and political candidates with a small company he founded in Arkansas in 2006, Strategic Political Services. In 2003 the Duggar family filmed their first show with the Discovery Health Channel called, “14 Children and Pregnant Again!” after its premiere it became the top rated show for the network. Having now done over 5 documentaries with DHC and TLC (The Learning Channel), the Duggar family is now working on a reality series set to premiere in October dubbed, “17 Kids & Counting!” In 2007, Josh started a pre-owned wholesale car dealership in Northwest Arkansas, Champion Motorcars. He now manages the dealership full time with his brother John. He also pursues other various entrepreneurial adventures as time allows. His parents are releasing the first book about their family in early December entitled, “The Duggar Family: 20 and Counting.” His father is a commercial real estate investor and full-time father of soon to be 18 children. Josh and Anna have a house in Fayetteville where they will reside, once married.
“Meet Anna – Anna was born in South Florida, her parents relocated to the Gainesville area when she was just 3 years old. Her father took a good job working with a manufacturing company in the area. Anna’s parents began homeschooling her and her siblings and became actively involved in their local church. In 1994, Mr. Keller got called for jury duty. While in the juvenile court, he immediately saw the great need for Christ in the lives of those in trouble with the law. He started volunteering at a local JDC (Juvenile Detention Center) and his heart was instantly burdened for the juveniles. In 1996, Mr. Keller made the decision to leave his good job to work as a full time missionary to the incarcerated. They spent months on deputation and God blessed them with many faithful supporters. Working in juvenile detention centers, county jails, and state correctional facilities he began to see God working in the hearts of those who are locked up. Anna continued her studies at home and she frequently helped teach Sunday school & AWANA in her church. Anna graduated from High School at the age of sixteen, and often goes with her father to minister to the young girls in the Juvenile Detention Center. Anna continued with higher education and in 2008 received a B.A. Degree in Christian Education and currently works with the youth ministry in her church. Anna currently lives in Florida with her parents, and once married will move to Arkansas to join Josh at their Fayetteville home.”
