Bill Got Hard
There was a passing reference to “Wisdom Booklets” in my last post. I was curious to find out more, so I embarked upon an internet quest. It took about a minute. Quests today just don’t have the same epic quality as quests of yore.
Wisdom Booklets are teaching materials for home-schoolers. They purport to teach all subjects, but with a Biblical slant. They’re published by a company called Advanced Training Institute International. Here’s a screenshot of their masthead:
OK. Nothing unusual there. Then I looked in the sidebar. Imagine my surprise when I saw a link to “Bill Got Hard”!
This is a fundie web site? I get spam with titles like that! Needless to say, I clicked the link:
Those assholes! It’s not a porn site! It’s some douche named Bill Gothard!
Do these fundies have tiny brains? The link description isn’t supposed to be the actual URL! The text is supposed to be the name of the site that you’re linking to! Are they even aware that it’s possible to read that URL in two different ways? Pathetic little people.

Yup. billgothard and the fundies got someone they can point to as a symbol of everything that they think is wrong with this country, despite the widespread peace and prosperity. Oh, wait, I forgot that fundies see attempts to make the world better as a BAD thing.

Bill’s website server is no doubt powered by Powergen Italia, located at www.powergenitalia.com. He’s so rich and famous that he has earned a space on Who Represents, located at www.whorepresents.com. When he’s not being a fundie, Bill is at his day job, swapping helpful programming advice with other geeks at Experts Exchange, whose website is www.expertsexchange.com. Sometimes, he takes vacations to the Mole Station Nursery, which he found from their website, www.molestationnursery.com. While he’s flying there, he listens to tunes on his iPod that he downloaded from Ringtones Hits, found here: www.ringtoneshits.com.

Wow, I can not remember the last time I laughed so hard. I just caught this for the first time on TLC and right before adding Arkansas to the list of states that I will never visit, I had to google this family to see if they were for real. And for all you bible thumpers out there who are so greatly offended by this website, what the hell are you doing with internet access anyway? Shoot, if you can’t use a damn tampon I would think God would frown on you using the devil’s technology!

It really pisses me off that TLC and Discovery Health air their specials SO often. Apparently, babies sell (as can be seen by all the baby-this baby-that TV on TLC/Dicovery Health), but why the Duggars?? If people want the watch the train-wreck that comes with breeding too much, there’s John & Kate + 8… A completely non-fundie show about two people who are obviously always in great pain because they have too many children. At least their children aren’t brainwashed and are allowed to get haircuts. But I honestly just can’t figure out why any of that type of programming sells. I guess those going through baby blues and terrible twos like to see people who have it worse, to make themselves feel better.

Duggar girls, when you turn 18 take the first greyhound bus out of Ark. and never look back..quickly before those other 16 little crumbsnatchers find you.

The Duggar family sells because everyone likes a good freak show. It’s fascinating, in a horrifying kind of way—for me it’s like, “How much weirder can these people GET?” Trainwreck syndrome, only with fundies. (I don’t think there’s actually any such thing as trainwreck syndrome, but I like the sound of it. >>) If they were just some fundie family with four (or even eight) kids, they wouldn’t be interesting; seventeen (soon to be eighteen) is such overkill that it will actually catch people’s attention.

Sharley — that might be part of the reason TLC et al keeps giving them so much air time, but there is also a large amount of people who think they are just great. These people also watch garbage like John & Kate + 8 and think “wow 8 kids how wonderful” without ever stopping to consider how dangerous and SELFISH this sort of overpopulation is for our small world. Like I said in another post. When Mars is properly terraformed, the quiverfuls can have 40 kids each on that planet — that’s fine. It will be an empty planet ripe for populating. But Earth is full! Earth reached its human quota a billion humans ago…
