Appalling bunch of fundamentalists who use a combination of literal misinterpretation of the Bible and control mechanisms to keep their women and children just where they want them. Mainly pregnant and in the church or kitchen.
The methods of control used by the Duggars and their ilk are well documented too. From the earlier link on blanket training, I read this paragraph on Church training. Which has a creepiness all of its own. And I quote:
"Every day, we sat them on the couch, within touching distance, (After all, that's how close they must sit in church!), put in a Bible story tape, explained what behavior was expected of them, (sit still, don't touch your brothers and sisters, be quiet, etc) and then I sat across from them in a chair with my little switch. Beginning with just 10 - 15 minutes at a time, we sat together, enjoying the Bible story, and practicing for church! If the rules were ignored, the little switch was a gentle reminder of the importance of obedience."
In my book, little switches are a form of abuse. Especially when applied with such casual forethought.
