Anyone catch that TLC reality show about a family's church search? The enormous family spent the premiere episode considering the pros and cons of a local Presbyterian church.

Are they zombies? Just wondering since if reformed theology is to be believed I wonder how dead people would go about seeking a church and then making choices.

Because God's Spirit draws them to do such.

He drew me to Him when I was dead in sins, several Sundays at different churches, until I came to Christ at one, and He changed my life and saved me.

Or they are believers who are searching for a church.

Is this the Duggars? If so I'm sure a debate thread entitled "A quiver full and Calvinism" or "Jim Bob Duggar - Why I am no longer an Arminian" would result in an epic thread eventually shutting down the Baptist Board capacities.

:laugh:

The Duggars? No, this is not the Duggars, it's. . . . .SISTER WIVES!

Sister Wives Premiere Episode

Madison,14 who tells her parents: "I hate the church we're in right now (their polygamist sect) I prefer not to be in it."

When she confronts her five parents and says " you always told us we could chose our religion," Robyn, wife #4, shoots back -- "but at a certain age, when they have a frontal lobe that's fully formed."

Janelle, Madison's mother, quickly defends her daughter: "She's just expressing her opinion."

The fact that the oldest kids, Madison, Mykelti, and Logan, 15, all agree that they'd like to socialize with other teens from other churches, while Hunter is still depressed, forces a BIG GIGANTIC wedge in the middle of the Brown family.

Janelle and Meri are so worried about the mental health of their teens they are willing to take an "extraordinary" measure and explore enrolling their children in a youth group at a local Presbyterian church, so they can socialize.

Kody is wary! "I grew up in a family where my social venue was completely Mormon," he says.

Robyn is adamantly opposed to integrating the kids: "We're killing ourselves to live this life, live this faith -- why are we leading our children to another faith, she worries."

The debate and the depression of the kids is hardly over by the end of the episode. And it overshadows the episode's other big news -- Robyn is pregnant with Kody's 17th child!

Ok, I've not had cable/satellite in a few years so I'm not up on my "reality" shows. (Thankfully I don't have to wade through that garbage anymore). The Duggars was my first guess,:BangHead: also considered that it might have been the cake guy, john/kate plus 8, or the little people, maybe even the guys that build the motorcycles.

You are far above me, I haven't heard of any of these people.

Well, if a guy can marry a guy, why can't he marry another woman too?
