House of Chains

I cannot believe this story has become so sensationalized. It's like every time you turn around they make it sound worse and more dramatic.

I remember reading an article about the story, and it talked of one of the girls, "she never even walked on a sidewalk", then showing an image right after of all of them at Disneyland, and Vegas.

The movie by itself was good. It actually came up with a good explanation for the phones, and how the girls had their own YouTube channels (even though they "didn't know" what anything was) Funny, it's kind a b**** to load a video to YT.

The movie, I guess, for drama, showed the kids never leaving the house, ever, when it's known the family took multiple vacations a year. Staying in hotels, riding rides, seeing other people, walking on sidewalks.

It's funny in a way that people just like to loosely roll over that fact they left the house multiple times per year. They weren't completely blind to the outside world.

I think these kids were neglected, and treated badly based on religion, but the media and this movie sensationalized it for sure. The movie was good, but just make you take it with a grain of salt for being nothing but very very loosely based on the Turpins..

The movie itself was easy to follow. What I can't understand is how someone that knows the bible front to back, can have it used against them, like this guy did to his family. The devil tried the same thing on Jesus when he was in the desert. The bible also says the God is happy when his children are at play. He said nothing about Thou offspring needeth not friends in life. This may have been a true story but that wife was at fault just as much as the husband was. Weak people need weaker people under them so they feel bigger. Such a shame that people fall prey to this stuff. I may not be a typical Christian but this behavior makes all Christians look bad. Don't even get me started on the Catholics!
