Are the Duggers UPC? Or some kind of Apostolic?
I am watching the Duggers on TLC network, the family that has 18 kids, and they look like they might have some holiness background. Anyone know if they are Apostolic?

I don't think they're Apostolic. Some type of trinitarian holiness would be my guess. I also think I heard somewhere that they do home church. (Which is pretty practical, considering the size of their family.)

I think they're fundamentalist Baptist.

I think one of their shows had something about this on it. I may be wrong, I usually am. =)

I saw an episode (or part of one) where their Baptist faith and traditions were the focus of a segment. They seem like nice people, nuts... but nice.

I think the show paints them as being too nice. That's why I prefer to watch Jon and Kate plus 8. 
Children are not always perfectly dressed, combed, clean, well-mannered and obedient. I would like the show much better if there were normal chaos--caught on tape. For that matter, I would like to see Mrs. Duggar disagree with Jim Bob about something. LOL!!!!!

Kate seems kind of cynical to me, but I haven't really seen it - just walked through the room several times, made smart-alec remarks until I was told to leave the room...
The Biggest Looser is on now- and I am banned from the "family room" due to my running commentary on "lardo's" carried over from last season.
*Like I should talk! I was being "ironic" and not philippic.

Thats just it. I get the feeling that Ms Duggar will drop her fake face one of these episodes, showing a robotic exoskeleton underneath.
And your right. She has NEVER disagreed with Jim. The perfect Stepford wife.

Do they homeschool? Many homeschoolers have taken up a holiness-type dress style.
