I encourage everyone to go back and watch the engagement episode on YouTube. It is unintentionally hilarious. Pest pontificates on his purity and how Anna can trust him with anything He was repulsive even before we knew he was a sex pest plus there are “Easter eggs” of how aware everyone is of Josh’s predictions if you read between the lines of the talking heads featuring Boob, MOTY, and the victims

I used to laugh at this too but it does seem that there is some variation amongst the couples. Hence my belief that the strict rules were meant to contain Josh. Then again, I need to stop thinking about these fools. I just detest Josh soooo much

Courtship theory: speculation people on other boards have been commenting on the Anna/ Josh engagement episode. It led me to think more about the courtship rules. I know courtship is something many fundie families value. That said the engagement episode is where we are first exposed to the rules of side hugs only and no hand holding until engaged. It was smugger himself who sanctimoniously explained the rules. I feel the stricter rules were in place BECAUSE of Josh They knew he has no self control and perhaps it was also to protect Anna a bit. It is telling that beyond Jill and Joe, other couples have been suspected of being much looser with the rules. It is also telling that Josh and Anna had two chaperones: Jana and John. I know the show made a production of raffling chaperone rights and that the movie needed an 18 or older chaperone but I think it had already been decided that “house mom” Jana would keep Josh in line and that John was her backup. Just as the TTH rules had to change (no hide and seek, no sitting on laps) the courtship rules had to be implemented. I believe these were just more “Josh rules” that they had to pretend applied to everyone

I want this to be popcorn-worthy more than anything but doesn’t JB own and keep a cop car on the property for security purposes? I thought I read that somewhere

Anyone want to take a stab at this?

Someone posted this on Reddit regarding Duggar grifts It says it all about JB and control and money

I like that! But I also want to make up my own J name. Like Jelly Roll. Or Jalapeño with a pronounced J as Rim Job would say it

OMG he is Jan Brady. If only someone could photoshop him in this wig Or even this one

Wouldn’t it be amazing if a few of us could sneak in there in our buttoned up shirts and long denim skirts and take Jing and Books and Jill and Derelict’s seats and they wouldn’t notice the difference? We could get the inside scoop!

Stupid question: do twins talk about themselves in singular birth order? For example, I have a friend who is a twin. She and her twin refer to themselves as “the oldest” as they were born first among their siblings. They don’t assign first and second to each other. Then again they come from a family of six and not 19 where counting is so blessedly important (or the only thing that is important). As he and sinner twin were being born did Meech call out “ten and eleven” and then continue to remind the boys of which one was first ? Gawd Jedi is so smug edited to add: or are he and sinner twin collectively the tenth of 19 and j whatever is twelfth?

I keep reading Jed! As Jedi (like Star Wars). And then I think of Jed being a young Jedi warrior and I laugh and laugh

Season 1 was just meh to me but I thought season 2 was brilliant. Loved it.

If anyone ventures into fan fiction with this scenario please tag me. I would love to read it. Maybe we can have Kendra’s steamy yearning journals just like we had Sam’s plotting escape diary

It could be financial. Remember the “work trip” Boob just took with Jana? Maybe he was moving funds and land and houses around so the feds can’t trace to him or moving things to Jana so if he goes to jail she is in charge. I know she is a woman but he has no one else he can trust right now

Not to make light of a potentially bad situation but why does the correspondent on the scene have the Duggar hairline?

Why am I seeing this?

I probably don’t want to know the answer but when did Braunwyn admit to an affair?

Mom jeans Jim filed for divorce the day after their anniversary https://apple.news/AkbWeYPAlSYiiTmVO-zALWQ Maybe he is in cahoots with Vickie and they were running a betting pool so he waited until officially five years as she had predicted

I hate Gina with the passion of a thousand burning suns but she probably didn’t leave the door unlocked (unless she specified that and I missed it). Matt might have a key since his children live there. Or it’s just not that difficult to lift the tent flap on the hovel where she squats

I have noticed how Austin has slowly gained favor and thus been able to shake his “nostrils” moniker. This is how it’s done kids! I am looking at books/RFP when I say this as it is too late for Josh and Derrick. Although it may be too late for RFP to curry favor and/or show any charm at this point too.

Doesn’t Cate realize she can pull a Lauren Duggar and say the miscarriage prior to Vaeda was a boy? She can name it and everything.

Question: was Asa assigned “his” biological sex prior to finding out she was expecting a girl this time? I am just picturing her as a young girl saying “I am going to have a boy first, followed by a girl...” as she dreamed of her adult life. Once she found out “baby #2” was a girl, then Asa had to be a boy

I am enjoying this season too and ignoring all logic as I watch with one exception: would Xavier’s heavily sprayed hair gone up in flames in the oven?

Have not read everyone’s clever and compelling posts yet Just came on to say that Brainwin’s (autocorrect and leaving it) thirst was palpable

I literally (and not in the way Kardashian’s use the term but honestly) choked on the cereal I was eating when Kelly said her Am Ex monthly bill was 30.000. She is truly a dumb bunny
