Jason posted a story he and fellow lonely Js, James, Jana went out to breakfast with Joy, Austin and their kids. It is nice Joy is still hanging out with some of boys oh and Jana.

Wasn't sure where to post this but since JB is the man in charge putting it here. I know WOACB is not very reliable but this one is a voice over and screen shots and was pretty interesting (except for her elaborating). It is the PR plan JB that was part of the daughters' dismissed suit. Copies of emails or texts between JB, Michelle, Jessa and Jill with their PR guy. The PR guy pretty much wrote a script for their responses to the M. Kelly interview. As well a plan for how to get back on TLC. I am still amazed at how such godly people can think it is ok to blatantly lie. It was the PR guy who told the girls to say regarding light touching over clothes while they slept and they pretty much stuck to his script. This guy apparently was in charge of most of their social media, posting for them or approving what they would post. We all had pretty much speculated that the interview was very scripted but the documents confirm that and who was actually writing and suggesting the script. Just when I think I cannot dislike JB anymore......... Even though Jill and Jessa were adults at the time, I still feel sad for them that they were so indoctrinated and controlled byJB, they willing lied about what happened to them.

I hope Hannie is not going to be marrying any time soon. Was Jinger her sister-mom? Has she been out to LA to visit them? I was hoping she might and think she would like to live expand her world a bit more than family and cult camp friends.

James posted a video he took at the Bates wedding event. I keep seeing pictures of Jason by or near the woman in pink. Wonder if he has a girlfriend. JD and family + Jana are there. Joy & Austin, JB not sure if other Duggars are there.

The Dillards were in Stilwell today at the Strawberry festival. Jill posted pics on IG and did a story. So maybe that is where they are moving. https://www.instagram.com/p/CdjlWr9sJVF/

I am retired from public service, working for state government. So when I hear that term especially attached to a profession (attorney) I think of government employee. I know the term is broader; providing a service in the public interest.

I am a bit surprised that Duggarfam posted and instagram story congratulating Derick. https://www.instagram.com/stories/duggarfam/2838102912692905407/ They did one for Jeremy's graduation too, right? Given the statements from the girls' case were released recently it makes it more surprising unless they are trying to make themselves look better.

I swear I read something on Jill's instagram story about moms and she tagged her mother in law and DuggarFam. I don't remember what it was but something cute about Mom's having to wait because of taking care of everyone else. It got my attention because of all the kids, Jill was the only one I noticed who acknowledged her on Mother's Day. Or maybe I imagined it after my last glass of wine.

I like Katey, she seems more normal and fun loving. In this video Jed was more likable, joking with her and the people there. Her mother was in the first video, that was her in the second one too?? That baby is making me soft, generally speaking, I am not a fan of Jed. The Duggar Family IG posted a a story about the birth. Jed is special to get so much DF IG.

Hannah has a story on her IG of them going to visit her parents on the weekend. Her family greeted them with hugs, a couple of excited dogs were running around, kind of normal family interaction. Wonder if she wishes they were living closer to her family and not Duggar land.

I don't follow her so only see the saying of here. I always thought the stuff she posted as Henry were kind of disturbing and violent. Poor Henry. I hope she is making it all up for the kids sake and if she is, she is so out of touch. But given the bible verses that they have to memorize and the age "inappropriate" scriptures Ben uses it is understandable, if her kids are saying crazy stuff. How can she think any of that stuff is cute or funny? I feel so sorry for these kids, Spurge should not be worrying about anything, much less a wife. Ivy is such a bright and free spirited child. I hope she can overcome her parents.

I put this in the Howlers and Lost girls thread. They graduated from Howlers to Lonely Js. Not sure how I forgot since it might be the only thing they graduate.** Jason and James added new posts to IG. So is Jason living in the treehouse thingy that Jana had built for the kids? Did he move out of the boys dorm? It doesn't seem to have a kitchen or bathroom so he not totally moved out I guess. https://www.instagram.com/p/CcZFnHFAX07/ James gets stuck and uses a driverless vehicle to pull himself out? https://www.instagram.com/p/CcRYf-kj_CM/

Oh good grief, I put this in the wrong thread. I forgot they have moved from Howlers to the over 18 and still single crew.

There was a discussion about Jinger going to a tea party with her friends on the JinJer thread. I was not aware they were a thing now so it was curious that Amy posted on her IG about a tea party to celebrate a friend's birthday. https://www.instagram.com/p/CcMUcFkMJp_/ I guess it is not just a LA or fundie thing.

As someone else pointed out these are not IBLP women. I took a look at the social media of some of the women who were tagged and they did not seem dimwitted or holier than thou. The woman lighting the candle is a working model married to a black minister who I think was invited to attend the seminary (that is what their social media implied). One of the other women who was tagged is a musician and has recorded an album (christian music). I don't think I have ever been to a tea party but I guess it is just a way to socialize, I would rather go to a cocktail party. I think the church is trying to infuse some life with younger people and less traditional roles. I wonder if they will regret it if/when some of the new blood starts questioning the teachings/leadership. It must be odd for Jinger to have non-family friends and to socialize from very different backgrounds.

Jessa's new IG post and stories has her kids dancing. Spurge is really into dancing. Ivy is the belle of the ball. Glad she is letting her kids enjoy dancing. They are eating out again.

I liked the color she did last time better, it was not as light. But she is happy with it so that is all that matters. I stopped coloring my hair but when I did it was perfectly safe and no bad fumes either. I am super sensitive to some coloring so could only use certain kinds. Totally safe for pregnant women.

Jed must be extra special, DuggarFam posted a happy first anniversary to Jed & Katey. They have missed a lot of other special occasions.

Israel is following Derick in running so I would think Derick would also make sure his kids could swim.

Jill and Derick were in the second row on the end with the boys. You can spot them because of Derick being so tall. At the end of the video you can see Derick talking to Santa guy who was in the row in front of them.

On her instagram stories it was interesting to hear her voice. https://www.instagram.com/stories/hannahwissmann/2799756992261193456/ I imagine this will be a nice wedding.

Don't know about Amy but Jill is (or was). On their birth episode both Josiah and Lauren made a point to say to the camera that Jill was there to help with the birth. They did not show Jill but you could hear her talking to Lauren. Of course, things could have changed.

Jill posted a picture on IG and she looks really nice. She also did a story, they are at an empty playground she has tested negative. Sounds like she read the guidelines about when you are contagious as she was saying when they got sick and how long it has been. She knows she will get flack for going out. One thing she does better than Jessa is how she responds (or ignores) criticism. https://www.instagram.com/p/CbQPAnwrRGB/
