If there is a wholesome counterpoint to the gossip-rich travails of single-mom Nadya Suleman and her 14 children, it might be Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, who had their 18th child just weeks before the arrival of Suleman's octuplets in January.  The Duggars, the hugely popular 21-member reality family on TLC's 19 Kids & Counting, are accused of hiding a dark secret - critics say they're part of a fringe religious group that is plotting to take over the U.S. government! Quiverfull advocates Rick and Jan Hess, authors of 1990's "A Full Quiver: Family Planning and the Lordship of Christ," envision the worldly gains such a method could bring, if more Christians began producing "full quivers" of "arrows for the war": control of both houses of Congress, the "reclamation" of sinful cities like San Francisco and massive boycotts of companies that do not comply with conservative Christian mores.
– If the National Enquirer is to be believed, the Duggars don’t have 19 children simply because they love kids: No, it’s because they belong to a cult that plans to take over the US government. Jim Bob and Michelle, stars of TLC’s 19 Kids & Counting, are acknowledged Christians—but critics say they go further, belonging to a fringe sect called QuiverFull. QuiverFull, as one author on the subject puts it, encourages couples to “breed and indoctrinate enough children” until they can “take over both houses of Congress, 'reclaim' sinful cities like San Francisco and launch massive boycotts against companies that do not support conservative Christian beliefs.” Though the Duggars deny any affiliation, their books and DVDs are sold on the QuiverFull website. A 2009 Newsweek article also alleged the cult connection.
