While its nice to see such a large comment section, I will warn you, if the trolls are out to get nasty, they will be removed quicker than you can say "thequickerpickerupper".<BR/><BR/>1. Don't try to come here to spread the GWOP credo of hate<BR/>2. Don't say anything nasty about my Kate or so help me I will take you by the ear myself and bring you back to the bridge!<BR/><BR/>GOT IT? Good! Continue then.....<BR/><BR/>For the record. Imagine being Jon or Kate. Imagine reading that people feel you need to get a job because they're upset you don't work. Who cares what anyone thinks. I would tell the world to go scratch while I played with my kids.<BR/><BR/>Even if they did work, people seem to hate on them just to hate. They use the kids as an excuse but lets face it. It wouldn't make a difference if they got jobs now or not. Nobody truly cares about kids they see on TV. If they did they wouldn't say anything this horrific about their parents for these kids to see in the future. Period. People are jealous about the freebies, jealous they cant stay home and be with their families all day like them. They're jealous they have money now, and accusing them of still crying poverty when they aren't in order to validate the claims of exploitation. They want them to end the show for their own selfish gain, like "Yay I brought them down". It has nothing to to with those kids.The Travel Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08652768852732313054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167527169360062878.post-52592385764390614692009-01-17T10:38:00.000-08:002009-01-17T10:38:00.000-08:00Oops!

Glad you weren't talking about religion,...Good. Glad you weren't talking about religion, because everyone's own beliefs should not be critiqued or judged. Glad you understand that.<BR/><BR/>I don't agree with any of your other points. I'm just going to write my response instead of copy and pasting yours due to time constraints on my day, but I'll break it down by your points...<BR/><BR/>1). J&K do not need a job outside of the show. You (or any of us) do not know of the work Jon does off camera. There are a lot of jobs Meghan where people work from home. It is none of our business. The kids are being well -provided for with 2 parents. <BR/><BR/>2). J&K do not mock their kids. They are talking about them and it is in a loving way when they're on that Interview Couch.<BR/>3). I have never seen a show that had any body parts of the kids. If there was a questionable scene, I believe TLC blurred it. If you're referring to past shows, stop. They're over with. The kids are growing and I highly doubt those kind of things are going to be shown.<BR/><BR/>4) While J&K may have taken the love offerings in the beginning, there is no truth to the rumours they are taking them now. Love offerings are at the discretion of the church or place of where they talk. Once again, it's none of our business. <BR/><BR/>Stop assuming that just because they are doing well now, they are doing it by sponging off churches or people who are less fortunate. If people want to donate to their cause (and they do tout Pediatric Cancer that people A lot of what you brought up came straight from the pages of Gwop.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06640333502031398121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167527169360062878.post-91499443650240304112009-01-17T10:01:00.000-08:002009-01-17T10:01:00.000-08:00Meghan, may I congratulate you on how articulate y...Meghan, may I congratulate you on how articulate you are when you write. Many adults (check out CafeMom for glaring examples of illiteracy) cannot write that well or clearly and you're not even 18. :)<BR/><BR/>I bet if you had a survey and asked only fans (not critics) of J&K if anyone thought they were infallible you would not get a single person answering yes. No human being (except perhaps Mother Teresa, Mahatma Ghandi, Jesus,...) is infallible.<BR/><BR/>One of the major criticisms we fans get is "how can you worship/support this family?" We do not worship or support them, we simply enjoy watching them. We "support" them in the sense that we're outraged at their mistreatment and vilification.<BR/><BR/>Parents from all walks of life - me, your parents, my friends, make decisions regarding their children that others may or may not agree with. There are probably parents who don't agree your parents should have let you work in show business. That's the variety of life.<BR/><BR/>It seems to really, really bother you that the G parents don't "work." They have created a brand (their family) and they market it; they are entrepreneurs. I don't see how their morals would improve by one/both of them taking on an engineering, nursing, waitressing, secretary, what-have-you job. This is a point critics and fans fundamentally are at odds on. I wish everyone would honestly ask themselves why it bothers them so much whether these people who have nothing to do with them have "jobs" or not. I have a feeling that if we removed the Puritanical belief that everyone should "work hard" (and I believe this is subconscious; people might not even realize this is where their intolerance is coming from) the majority of the "they should get jobs" chanters would disappear. It has nothing to do with child "exploitation," it's just Puritanical morals.Carol Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07858670046269831613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167527169360062878.post-29415580124735556182009-01-17T07:39:00.000-08:002009-01-17T07:39:00.000-08:00They have lived in PA all the tups lives.

My comment had NOTHING ...Oh, sorry, let me clarify. My comment had NOTHING to do with religion. Religion is a very personal thing that is no one's business to critique or judge. Over at GWOP they are constantly saying that the Gs are bad christians or they mock their beleif in god. attacking religion is a low blow and incredibly inappropriate. By infallible, i was referring to some fans who exalt the gosselins blindly and think they are the greatest most perfect people in the world and would never do anything wrong. (and please dont take that as pointing fingers, btw). If the term "infallible" has a religious connnotation, i apologize, i didnt know, i am not religious. As far as my greivances with J and K, if you really want me to then......<BR/>1)I still feel that either Jon or Kate should have a job aside from the show. we dont need to discuss this again as we've already discussed at length wether or not they have jobs and we have agreed to respectfully disagree. I still strongly feel that they should have a job.<BR/>2) I would like to see an end to the Jon and Kate's mocking of their own children on television. The past episode the way they talked about mady was horrible, I just felt so terrible for that little girl. especially since they were doing it in front of Hannah. they do this fairly frequently about more than one child and it just isnt a good thing.<BR/>3)More privacy-things like drs appointments, ortho exams, and naked/getting dressed etc scenes do not need to be shown on t.v. These are personal moments that are not something all of america should see. <BR/>4)No more love offerings. I dont care if it is common practice. no more 20,000 dollar speaking fees. These are tough times and people will do anything to see J and K talk. and we all know that they don't need the money anymore. oh, and no more 20 dollar pictures.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12484873261492213906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167527169360062878.post-47743927203676323372009-01-17T07:26:00.000-08:002009-01-17T07:26:00.000-08:00Lovely new post Meghan.

I think it's much better to say as you said <I> I admire them and appreciate them and I do beleive they have the best intentions at heart, but I do have some disagreements with some of their practices.</I> than from a previous post of yours (the second paragraph of your very first post<I>As far as knowing where their money goes and wether or not J and K have jobs: They just bought a million dollar home and say that they're buying a vacation property. Neither of them have jobs, they used money from the show and from "love offerings" given to them to buy these extravagant "wants". No, they are not "needs" they are wants. They continue to ask for and take money from people who they lead to believe that they are struggling, when that clearly is untrue. People who work long hard hours at work are struggling to pay bills. The Gosselin parents do not even have jobs, and then have the audacity to ask people for money. That is what I find so wrong.<BR/><BR/>January 15, 2009 1:38 PM<BR/></I> <BR/><BR/>From these two posts, you have come along way. The first was real GWoppy, the second a more mature understanding person. <BR/><BR/>Most likely Jon & Kate have had lawyers in since the beginning of the show. TLC and J&K are abiding by the PA state laws. (they have to). J&K also have on numerous occasions let it be known that the kids' welfare is their number one priority and that they are doing all of this for their kids. (as you agree J&K have the best intentions).<BR/><BR/>I am glad that you realize how ludicrious GWop is and that they are actually a hate blog. I am also glad that you don't think J&K are bad people, but if you're talking about infallibility in regards to their religion, than I would have to say that they are practicing family and that is a wonderful thing. <I>I don't think that J and K are bad people, I just dont feel that they are infallible. I admire them and appreciate them and I do beleive they have the best intentions at heart, but I do have some disagreements with some of their practices.</I> I guess my next question is what definition of infallible were you talking about (I assumed you meant Christianity) and what are your <I>disagreements with some of their practices</I>?<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the questions but I just wanted to understand you better in what you meant by that. And once again, thanks for your last post. I do have a respect for you, too.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06640333502031398121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167527169360062878.post-14521424092462929962009-01-16T20:36:00.000-08:002009-01-16T20:36:00.000-08:00I can promise you that I have always been the same...I can promise you that I have always been the same person posting all along. The only reasons I brought up trusts and laws protecting child actors (or "not actors" if in fact the Gosselin kids arent working,) is because if they did the show in California or New York, they would be required by law to deposit 15% per kid into a blocked trust account or "coogan account" as they are called, wich only the kids would be able to access and not until they turn 18. This applies to kids in any aspect of the entertainment business, including reality television. But since the Gosselin's live in PA, they are not protected by these laws. That was all I was pointing out. I am certain that the G kids will have plenty of money leftover and wont be poorly off, I am just saying that even kids in reality television are subject to this protection because it is considered "working". In fact, if the Gs did live in CA or NY or several other states, Mady and Cara would be required to have a work permit that must be signed by their school in order for them to appear on the show. And when the little kids started kindergarten they'd have to have school approval as well. This creates accountability and another level of protection for the kids, that I think is important. If the school felt that the kids were being adversely affected by filming they could refuse to sign the work permit. Anyway, I am getting off track here, but basically, if the Gs didnt live in PA, then the kids do would be considered working by law and they would be subject to more protection. I have no resentment towards my parents for "living off of me", the purpose of my comment was merely to point out that what the kids do is considered working by law in many states, and I believe they should be protected by the same laws as I am. And really, its nothing special to be a child actor. They are a dime a dozen out here. <BR/><BR/>And I agree with the poster who said "I watch all three shows and when I feel it's warranted, criticize all three shows. I also stick up for them all when I feel they've been unfairly targeted ",. That is how I feel about Jon and Kate +8. Obviously GWOP is unreasonably and ridiculously hypercritical of every move the Gs make. I've stated many times that I am absolutely anti-gwop, hence my presence on a blog called "the anti gwop". I do my best to be objective and open minded regarding the show and the family and am bright enough to recognize the lies and fabrication that appears on gwop. Heck, there is no pleasing those people. They have no respect for privacy (i mean tax records, really?!) and will critisize J and K no matter what they do. They say their tired of vacations and then complain when they get an episode featuring every day life (like the soup episode) and say its boring. Trust me, I am no fan of gwop. <BR/><BR/>You will notice that my posts have become increasingly more neutral towards the show. I am reasonable and listen to others explainations. I havent blindly argued repeatedly that the Gs are bad people. I've brought up points and others have responded to them. Some of them I have agreed with and some I have respectfully agreed to disagree with, but I am nothing like the people on GWOP. I don't think that J and K are bad people, I just dont feel that they are infallible. I admire them and appreciate them and I do beleive they have the best intentions at heart, but I do have some disagreements with some of their practices. I am still a fan of the show and of the family, but I refuse to be blindly devoted to either loving and supporting the Gs regardless of any contrary evidence, nor will i maliciously spread hatred towards them. That is all I am trying to do, and I have a lot of respect for the decorum of the posters and owners of this blog, who unlike some other blogs are respectful, accepting, and reasonable. I hope you dont mind my presence here.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12484873261492213906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167527169360062878.post-77248007977272302932009-01-16T15:13:00.000-08:002009-01-16T15:13:00.000-08:00Obviously LittleMissSunshine also forgot to replac...Obviously LittleMissSunshine also forgot to replace the batteries in her sarcasm detector. If she read my post, she'd see that I DO watch the Duggars. They may creep me out...actually Jim Bob and Josh are the ones who creep me out. Sometimes Michelle and her programmed, vacant stare do, too. ANYWAY, I watch BOTH the Duggars and Gosselins. They both have their share of critics, but the level of crap that Kate goes through online is light years beyond what Michelle Duggar or Amy Roloff have to put up with, and they show things on their shows that are of questionable privacy, too. And their families get lots of cool freebies, but I don't feel like they have to endure half the hate that the Gosselins put up with. Some of those whack jobs "over there" have me seriously worrying about the Gosselin's safety at times. <BR/><BR/>I like all three shows (LPBW, 17/18 Kids and Counting, J&K+8). I watch all three shows and when I feel it's warranted, criticize all three shows. I also stick up for them all when I feel they've been unfairly targeted (which let's face it, Gosselins win there, so I defend them more). <BR/><BR/>Soooo....what's hypocritical about that, again?MoreCowbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01740518966343218314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167527169360062878.post-8553705517940881082009-01-16T12:48:00.000-08:002009-01-16T12:48:00.000-08:00I do not need to post anything.LOL:) You guys said...I do not need to post anything.LOL:) You guys said it all.

I was merely trying to compare the "amount" of work involved. No two shows are the same. But, if you are indeed a child actor, I can see how you feel resentful of J&K and perceive their kids as working on the show. You really can't use your own show as an example because no two shows are alike. The process may have like elements, but the atomosphere and terms of conditions are all negotiable. <BR/><BR/>I do find it odd that your first post sounded like a young person. Your second and third sounded different, as if you're a mom, as you seem to understand the process of payment and trusts. <BR/><BR/>Either way, if you are indeed a child actor, sounds as if you are accusing J&K of "living off their kids" because you perhaps feel used by your own parents? Do you think you're projecting your resentment to the Gosselins because you identify by being a minor and you did/do indeed feel like you were working?<BR/><BR/>I guess I just find it "convenient" that we are graced with the presence of a child actor.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06640333502031398121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167527169360062878.post-65135134012388546172009-01-16T07:02:00.000-08:002009-01-16T07:02:00.000-08:00We really have no room to judge other people lifes...We really have no room to judge other people lifes, the GWOP have nothing better to do then write hate messages, i wish id of found this site sooner!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09316199113304179679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167527169360062878.post-73365872862562279982009-01-15T22:55:00.000-08:002009-01-15T22:55:00.000-08:00Oh hey Sunshine face is back!

Well with Sera back she must have gotten the e-mail as well.(I got it a few weeks ago and thought it was spam)<BR/><BR/>What struck me as odd was this was sent to ME nd I'm a fan site. I mean, wouldnt the person see my e-mail address and get the point? But no I got the same generic message. Now Serena CLAIMS she verified this, but she also swore up & down Penn Mommy was real, and after the whole fiasco she removed that from her site. She took a little break and the blog started tanking. Now it appears shes back and looking to start a fire again. So she put on the site AGAIN that she verfied this person was legit. I guess, in the hopes that we wouldn't remember the egg on her face.<BR/><BR/>Megan- Welcome. Please note that trolls pass through these parts quite frequently. I always give people the right to voice their feelings. But this is a FAN site. Please keep that in mind as I do remove posts that I feel don't fit this blog.<BR/><BR/>i do feel that Jon & Kate try to portray an good image of themselves. And sometimes what they say is interpreted differently. I just told my girlfriend I gained 20 pounds when it was actually 5. I exaggerate alot. Does it make me a liar? Does it make Jon this horrible liar when he says his kids dont eat fast food. What if the only did once and he forgot? Is he the horrible person people are portraying him to be? Is he intentionally trying to defraud you? I think people that dislike them intentionally use something this petty and stupid to call them flat out liars. They arent. I am, but thats another story (lol)<BR/><BR/>Many upon many blogs have commented per-nausea that Kates parents are one egg short of a crate. Wait that makes no sense. Whatever you get my point. Jon & Kate do not need to give anyone an explanation as to why their parents are not in their lives. They appear to be frequent in any of their grand kids lives. Why does anyone care about that to begin with?<BR/>I also need to re-word what I wrote regarding Clarissa. What I meant to say was the pictures of her parents were removed first, when apparently the strain was starting, when we all found out about he blog she promptly removed everything. Jon and Kate DO NOT tell people they are destitute girl1 Like this hasn't been mentioned 100 times? Their story is about how they WERE and how they are now. No one is begging or money, that's what the haters say to try to make them look bad, along with nit-picking about stupid petty stuff.<BR/><BR/>I take get upset when I hear people take "offense to them not working". I have cried for weeks after having to go back to work, its been the toughest thing Ive had to do,. If my husband and I were Jon & Kate, we would be doing the exact same thing and not giving a rats behind what people thought. My husband WISHES he could be home with me and the kids. He works like a dog and we hardly see him. Those that are not in that situation, are quick to judge. People take offense to them not working because they are JEALOUS plain and simple. Because if you had money, wouldn't you like to stay home? Now, you would work like a dog anyway? More power to you. When you have kids that cry because they never see you, then we can talk (lol) ;)<BR/><BR/>Again, Welcome<BR/><BR/>LITTLEMISSSUNSHINE~ It kills me to delete your post, but I had to. I love me SomeMoreCowbell and to call her a hypocrite regarding the Duggars was a problem. For one, this is AGAIN a Gosselin FANSITE. If you want to talk about the Duggars feel free to go to Duggars Without pity where they are bashing them there. They are equal opportunity bashers over there!

I am sure I mentioned this here before, but my husband and I saw Jon and Kate last February at one of their engagements. They talked of their financial struggles during Jon's unemployment but DID NOT say OR imply that they were struggling now. It was very clear that the deal they have with TLC has changed their lives significantly, financially speaking. <BR/><BR/>And THANK YOU to Anya for clarifying the "deal" with love offerings. Why is it so hard for people to understand the concept?<BR/><BR/>About the fast food issue. This is my feeling on the subject. Yes, we saw the McDonalds cup in the twins room, yes we saw Jon bring Happy Meals to the ski school for the kids. I took his comment to mean that if they ever have eaten at McDonalds or other fast food places that it happens to infrequently that he could of honestly forgotten about it. And perhaps Kassie is right, that the one or two times that the kids have eaten McDonalds etc, they did not go in the drive-thru. Maybe Jon was being literal in his statement. Ugh, who really cares! If all we have to pick apart is if Jon is lying about fast food, then all I can say is we all really need to get a life!<BR/><BR/>Carol, how do we know that TLC paid for the trip? Did I miss something?<BR/><BR/>Did someone on another site really say they wanted to see tax forms?!!!! Please! What is wrong with people! It is none of our business what the Gosselins spend their money on. Good grief. Would these posters be so rude and ridiculous to their friends and family and demand such nonsense ?<BR/> <BR/>Thank BabyMama for posting another fan meeting Kate! Kate looks great but I am not digging the new highlights, too stripey for me!BEEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00981283598285309014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167527169360062878.post-59874521857874819052009-01-15T17:37:00.000-08:002009-01-15T17:37:00.000-08:00Meghan-I can see your point here...I understand th...Meghan-<BR/><BR/>I can see your point here...<I>I understand that J and K put a lot into promoting the show, doing spokesperson work etc,</I><BR/><BR/>But, then this is where we disagree...<I> however I would not compare this to a legitimate job in media, nor did either of them get those jobs because of their own talent and hard work.

Just because you've never worked it, doesn't mean it's so.<BR/><BR/>While it's true that we know of the Gosselins because of their unusual circumstance (two sets of mulitples), this show is a way of providing for the children. J&K's "personal gain" is providing for their kids and making sure they are taken care of.<BR/><BR/>So, you think that they are doing the show to make money for themselves and to spend it lavishly on themselves? I think that is bunk. This is where your GWop mentality needs readjusted. Re-read the threads on this blog and perhaps you will see the Gosselins differently. <BR/><BR/>Just wondering...how old are you? Perhaps you may be talking of experience from the show you did...which was? Every show is different and I'm guessing that for the G kids, at such a young age, it really is just the cameras following them,and not a shot that is filmed several times. That is more for their parents and we have seen those re-takes.<BR/><BR/>Since you are in a reality show, why didn't you tell us this on your first post. From your first post to the last, it seems you've switched an identity. Or at the very least gained one?Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06640333502031398121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3167527169360062878.post-86471645942470659932009-01-15T17:15:00.000-08:002009-01-15T17:15:00.000-08:00Yes, I do think that we should just respectfully d...Yes, I do think that we should just respectfully disagree that we have different opinions that we are entitled to. <BR/><BR/>I understand that J and K put a lot into promoting the show, doing spokesperson work etc, however I would not compare this to a legitimate job in media, nor did either of them get those jobs because of their own talent and hard work. They got it because of their 8 adorable children, who are being exploited for K and J's personal gain. I realize that we disagree on this, but that is my opinion. <BR/><BR/>Speaking of the media/entertainment industry, yes I know that it is not all fun, that it is "work".I know that, because it is what I do. Granted, I am only a kid and this isnt something a make a living off of, but I have worked in film/tv and theater throughout my childhood. and 50% of what i make goes into a blocked trust fund that I (nor my parents or anyone else) cannot touch until i turn 18, because that is what is mandated by the law here in california (well the law only says 15, but my parents/I put in 50). They can pretend all they want, but the gosselin children ARE WORKING. I did a reality show once and you do not simply do things normally while cameras follow you around. shots have to be staged and reshot sometimes many many times to get it right. There are no laws protecting the gosselin kids in PA like there are here in CA, but there should be.<BR/><BR/>Let me reiterate, I do not support the people of GWOP. they are ridiculous and I know that. There is no need to remind me. They tell all kinds of lies.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12484873261492213906noreply@blogger.com
