Of the two, who would fit best?

There are two families featured on TLC shows who are open in expressing their faith: The Gosselins (Jon & Kate + Eight) and the Duggars (17 Kids & Counting!).

Of the two families, which would fit in better at your local church?

Something - or several things - lead me to believe the Duggars are going to be pretty old school. So, I'll say the Goselins. Plus, their kids are just so darn cute.

Well, at our local church, we have a family that just had their 18th kid!

Since the church we have been attending most has 2 types of services, contemporary and traditional, Jon & Kate would come with us to contemporary and the Duggars would fit with the traditional service.

Not unless you are KJV-Only! :lol:

The Duggars don't allow no Nearly Inspired Version use.

I don't know how they will fit, but I would sure try to make room for them all. As difficult as it is to get people to come to church, I would do all I could to help them fit in. That is with out compromising faith and doctrine. They would fine so much love that they would know that they are wanted and needed and have an opportunity to work in the church.

The Gosselins would, honestly, be a much better fit at our church. We don't observe KJV-onlyism, we don't sing only traditional hymns, and our kids watch TV and have internet access. :wink:

But I would welcome the Duggars. They seem very nice. I'd hope they would bring Cousin Amy with them, though -- she's my favorite character on that show! ("Pray for me!") :lol:

I would say both here. Though, at the moment we have only one service. We are eventually going to have two, like Jinger talked about.

We have good mix of those more comptempary and more conseravtive.

The Duggars would boost my youth group and Jon and Kates crew would boost children's church
