And what I found just turned my stomach. <br /><br />I understand that by this point, the FLDS and other groups are somewhat entering the realm of cousins marrying cousins (because the lack of 'new' blood); but to find out that the Kingston Clan actively practices incest (brothers marrying sisters, uncles to nieces, etc) made me go a little green in the face (and made me question, who is the greater evil... the founder of this group or Warren Jeffs or are they equal).<br /><br />Having said that... I commend Kollene for escaping.

So many people ask where are they getting the money from. IMO they are getting it from TLC. Did some googling and my guess they are getting min. 25k per show. I would guess more than that since its doing good in ratings as well as its their 5th season. I would guess they each are making 25k a show, even Logan now as he's an adult. I think thats why he went to collage so close. As far as the kids go I would bet they are getting paid something to sit on the couch. It probably goes in to a trust. Both the Gosselins and Duggars(19 kids) have money in trust for the kids from the show. As well all the extra bonuses such as: vacations, gas. food, cleaners, babysitters and clothing allowances etc. If you add it all up they are on a gravey train right now. Why rent and have to get permisson from landlords and so on when you can buy and get tlc to pay for using the space, updating lighting and so on. I dont think for the first season they were paid what they make now as it was new and the waters had to be tested. Its one of TLC's highest watched shows and the Browns get to reap the rewards.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03434037130474961499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-42866028363586626362012-12-10T22:17:25.714-05:002012-12-10T22:17:25.714-05:00Janelle honestly strikes me as being more happy ha...Janelle honestly strikes me as being more happy had she just been able to be married to a career sans kids. i think she had kids - especially that many - only because of her religion's teachings. I'm not saying she doesn't love all the ones she's got but i just think if she could do it all over again knowing what she knows now . . . when she became disenchanted w/her first marriage and the mainstream mormon church, she'd have taken a whole different route now than the one she ultimately took.

I doubt he is thinking of having ANY wives right now, let alone one, but is keeping his options open. As for Janelle being penalized for raising kids that choose not to follow the religion, well, I know in traditional LDS homes, the father is the spiritual head and is the one most responsible for leading the rest of the family on the path of righteousness. He would have only himself to blame if the kids don't follow his religion. In the case of Aspyn, I think that she is a lot like her mother and seeks Kody's and the other adults approval at all costs. She wants to appear like a good little girl and also like her mother, is not the most disciplined, brainy or ambitious. I don't mean to criticize her. I think she is sweet and cute, but the fact that she skips classes and that blank look on her face when Kolene quizzed her spoke volumes to me.Jack Mormonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-21320286102244462602012-12-10T21:37:55.876-05:002012-12-10T21:37:55.876-05:00I have been wondering that myself.

I thought the speech she made about seeing polygamy through the perspective of kids who have been emotionally scarred by it was very profound, the way she compared it to her own experiences.

I'm sorry, but maybe the reason I like sister wives so much is because I can relate to all the passive aggressive nonsense. And the jealousy, I'd be lying if I said I couldn't admit to that.

Honestly, seeing the Dargers and the whole twin thing really hit home for me. I am also a twin and have had some experience with having my twin sister date my 1st love while we were "on a break" (Jerk), and let me tell you, from the body language, it seems to me Vicki does harbor a lot or resentment that she keeps hidden for the sake of her kids. Also makes a lot of sense that Vicki has aged so much more than Val since Val joined the family, compare before and after pictures of Vicki and there is a drastic difference. Remember when they were at the adults only + Super Sol dinner, and someone said in regard to kitchen decoration something along the lines of "so that's it, there's no problems," and Vicki's eyes get really wide and her lips got tense and she said "well, as far as the kitchen goes." Something tells me all is not perfect in DargerLand. Some people have been commenting that Alina is the odd one out, I disagree, I think Vicki is. Val is the fresh meat/youngest looking, Alina is the most outspoken and has 1st wife status, Vicki is the odd ball, I think. If you watch again you'll notice whenever he gives Val affection, Vicki glances over, like "what about me" and Joe picks up on this and puts his arm around her. When you're a twin all types of comparisons arise. (who's the creative one? who's the evil one? who's the pretty one? Hell, we've all been doing this on this blog, haven't we?) In my case, these comparisons were exacerbated when my sister dated my boyfriend, and I suspect this was the case for the Darger twins. For me, I felt my boyfriend was dating a better version of me. I think Vicki may feel the same way, Val looks younger, and she has that whole damsel-in-distress quality that guys love from her 1st marriage. Also, Val and Joe knew each other for 10 years (as Vicki's husband) and there was "all or a sudden" a spark between them? No little flirtation or looks prior to that, it just happened all or a sudden, huh?

I am not even sure they know what it is. That is the only conclusion I can come to since they said they haven't done it and we all know that they did. Maybe in their minds, since they are not legally married to Kody, it is perfectly legal to collect welfare as a single parent. Who knows. It seems like polygamy is used in their favor only when it benefits them.Plygaddictnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-15590127671270218372012-12-10T19:31:17.934-05:002012-12-10T19:31:17.934-05:00TLC is showing clips of next weeks show and they s...TLC is showing clips of next weeks show and they show them breaking ground. Not sure if they are breaking ground on the four lots or not. I just wish that we knew for sure if they actually got the homes or not. This story line has been beaten to death. The show is so boring now. I am tired of the same old drama and the tears. Kody is trying his best to create drama in order to keep his family relevant. There is much more to this home buying situation than meets the eye. A single woman without a stable job or income would not qualify for a mortgage of this size. I want to see their debt to income ratio. They just need to come clean with the truth. Their fans on their Facebook page think Kody is the worlds best father. Sick. Their fans want them to have these homes because they deserve them. I want to know what in the hell they have done to deserve 4 homes clearly out of their budget. I was amazed at the number of new sponsors the show had. I did email a few of them letting them know that I will boycott their products if they continue to support polygamy. I know that this is a train wreck waiting to happen. I read this blog and only portions of the show. IMHO this show is scripted and rather boring to watch. They keep showing the same thing over and over again. They must think we are so easy to fool. I also think that they read this blog. After all, this blog has more people talking about them than their own fan pages.sewcrafty27@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14598538524720694907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-53573397447544549692012-12-10T19:19:28.773-05:002012-12-10T19:19:28.773-05:00I'm guessing in the beginning it will be very ...I'm guessing in the beginning it will be very novel for Kody to walk from house to house to say goodnight (not good morning) to all of his kids...but as the weeks pass by, he will be parking his butt in a chair at one of the homes (hmmmm which one) and tell the kids "If you want to see me...come to me"Just a Thoughtnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1083130180732134503.post-28432073904822415882012-12-10T19:18:25.124-05:002012-12-10T19:18:25.124-05:00I am always confused about this.

She would have had a meltdown about it and I'm sure Meri and Kody didn't allow her to go. Or she probably didn't want to go herself anyway and be around a bunch of kids who not only weren't for polygamy but were publicly against it. <br /><br />But i agree that it was hard on the Brown teens in the position they were put in defending their parents and all on national TV. That was wrong and I feel bad that it made Maddie cry and obviously both Logan and Aspyn were definitely out of their comfort zone and in over their heads in dealing w/those teens abuse from their polygamous families. <br /><br />It's funny tho how they all really have more in common with them than they realize as the Brown kids get their own share of emotional abuse from the lifestyle but just aren't able to voice it yet even if they do realize it.
