It's a Boy for Josh and Anna Duggar

By Kiki Von Glinow Posted Jun 16th 2011 09:13AM

We have a feeling there will be no shortage of babysitters on hand for Josh and Anna Duggar's new baby boy. The newborn, who will become little brother to the couple's first child, MacKynzie, already has 18 aunts and uncles -- the stars of TLC's '19 Kids and Counting.'

The baby boy, whose name, his parents hinted, begins with an 'M,' was born at the couple's Tontitown, Arkansas home on Wednesday, three days before he was due, according to People. But Anna still gave birth to a healthy 8 lb. 5 oz. bundle of joy, to the delight of two very happy grandparents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.

The new baby will also have a built-in playmate in his youngest aunt, Josie, who is 17 months old.

This family is a freak show.

By me

Frist off where do you get using the name of the King. Then I would love to see what you look like. All these children are normal and will live normal lives and not judge other people. It is the parents rights to have as many children as they want. No suffers here but bigots like you. Get a life you need one.

By Janice

I wonder if granny is done having babies or is the next generation going to pick up where she left off?

One's enough

I don't understand why people are so set against the choices of a family they have never met. If you don't like the fact that they have 19 children, don't watch the show, there is no reason to call them 'freaks'... In fact, the Duggar children look happier and healthier than a lot of kids with one or two siblings... They support themselves, and love each other, that's all that matters. Anyway,who are they hurting? no one... I say, congratulations to the new parents...

By Rose

My question to all you haters is:
1. why am I so unhappy with my life that I have to hate on people who are happy.
2. why am I so untolerant of Christians? could it be I know I need God desperately but don't want to ask Him for help. Therefore I hate on Christians.
3. why am I so anti-life? Is it because Life has been so hard for me I am envious of a family who has so much love it multiplies daily?
Please consider turning your life around and turn to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. He can fill the anger and hate you have inside you with peace and love instead.

Jesus probably wouldn't approve of people who fornicate, overpopulate and use up more than their fair share of resources on a planet where millions are starving. But this isn't about Christianity, anyway ... it's about selfishness and ego.

Lisa, myself and others do not put our lives on television and get paid for it. If you do that, then you are subject to criticism for your choices as well as support.

Perhaps the Duggars are trying to promote a lifestyle that may be harmful to others? This lifestyle is a serious throw back and not everyone who lived it 100 years ago was as seemingly happy as these two. In fact, large families like this, without the financial wherewithall, typically suffered greatly. My father is one of 17 and they were all impoverished until the kids started leaving home. There was no TLC or reality shows for them, and there was no welfare like we have today. Did you ever research the invention of condoms? They sold like hotcakes when they first hit drug stores and the population started going down. If having kids like there is no tomorrow were so great, why did that happen?

Being Christian has absolutely nothing to do with breeding. There are many good, decent Christians and non Christians who believe this lifestyle is over the top. Many others feel the two of them have a mental disorder be it for breeding or this small religion they are part of that has the appearance of a cult. My interpretation of Be Fruitful and Multiple is definitely different from theirs.

I believe in God, I help my fellow man, and I lead a decent life. However, I think the Duggars have psychological issues. We'll hear more when the show is off the air and the other kids grow older.

If they are doing this to show their Christian values and spread the word, why do they need to be paid for the world to watch their normal day to day routine? Surely spreading God's word doesn't require payment, does it?

By Cheryl

The idea is that such large families don't pay taxes. In a subtle way, the producers of their show are promoting their religion. They are also promoting reproduction and all that goes with it. One would think Republicans are against abortion, because forcing people to have more babies creates more taxpayers. Several things wrong with that way of thinking is that there are virtually no jobs here in America and secondly, broods that large don't pay taxes. And it's obvious Republicans don't promote pro-life due to "Christianity" because they don't care about "life" once babies are born. None of their policies are to "sustain" and "maintain" life, environment, health, jobs, etc. I have no clue, but I'll bet the Duggars don't have regular jobs ... just religious ones, paid for by the same worshipers of their religious following.

Lisa-First of all one does not hate ON another person. Get you prepositions right. Second, one is not UNtolerant, one is INtolerant. Third, no one is intolerant of Christians (please capitalize). Many Christian faiths do not preach bearing as many children as possible...i.e. Presbyterians. Lastly, Jesus was a Jew leading a JEWISH life. It is YOU that is the one who should follow the JEWISH example.
