That's the whole premise of a "reality TV" show. Putting yourself on TV for other people to look at. If people don't look at you, then the show goes off the air.<br /><br />The parents have admitted many times on the show (though not usually going into details) that they are less strict with the younger kids compared to the older ones. <br /><br />I personally think the dress code is NOT the main belief of IBLP and some fans are focusing on it too much. In a prior post, someone assumed Josie and Carlin must have totally rejected IBLP, just because of the way they dress. <br /><br />I get the sense Gil and Kelly, like many parents of teens and young adults, have the sense to allow for some fashion experimentation because fashion really IS a minor issue in the grand scheme of things. So far no Bates girl has rejected the chaperoned courtship rules, and they are getting married almost 10 years younger than the average "worldly woman" (as average age of first marriage is 28ish). No one has publicly stated they reject the IBLP position on birth control. No one has stated they don't believe in God or the Christian faith. I'm sure they'd be much more concerned if a daughter dressed in a "prairie dress" while publicly proclaiming she is an atheist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-42555739526314011432018-09-21T10:26:32.557-05:002018-09-21T10:26:32.557-05:009:21 - They were able to express their own style b...9:21 - They were able to express their own style by wearing matching outfits? <br />Looking at Erin and Michael, their clothing choices now show that they prefer different styles while maintaining the modesty standards they grew up with. Michael and Erin were 16 and 15 in the 2006, they surely had an idea about what they wanted to wear. Young children have clothing preferences if you let them choose an outfit. Erin showed her individuality early on through her big hairstyles though the above picture has her hair exactly like Michael's too.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-364892477946465302018-09-21T10:17:57.531-05:002018-09-21T10:17:57.531-05:00CARLIN IS A VERY BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY.

However, this family started with the ATI/IBLP’s ideology with a very strong emphasis on modesty and avoidance of fitting in with the “ world”. The girls hemlines and necklines are increasingly getting shorter. Nothing inappropriate. But why? Gil and Kelly Jo obviously approve as many (Carlin, Katie, Josie..I know Josie is soon getting married)are still under their roof/rules. I would sincerely like to hear from them why they have evolved in their ideology. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
