Those boys seems to have lots of adventures, not sure how they afford them. I am glad for them they can and hope they don't rush to get married and have babies. Not sure how they afford all the trips not sure if Jason's business could be making them that much. But then they still live at the big house so no bills. I wish the girls in the family could have the same kind of adventures, well I guess Jana kind of does but not on her own. James does a good job with his videos. It was nice to see Joy looking so happy and having fun in LA. Bet everyone was glad JB was not there to suck the fun out of everything. I am sure Jeremy was extra glad JB was not there. It is odd they all descend on Jinger at the same time I am wondering if it was a PR thing but I am sure they were glad to distance from all things Josh.

Jill posting more food. 3 pictures. https://www.instagram.com/p/CZrzKOOOYkQ/ She did show one side of Israel's face this time. I am not sure if she is trying to not show her kids or what is going on. It would be nice if she didn't make their lives so public. I am not sure she totally gets giving her kids privacy since she was one of the kids that really seemed to enjoy doing the show. She was always more outgoing and talkative. I think her life became a lot more fun and interesting when the cameras showed up.

On WOACB's YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/WithoutACrystalBall/videos There were a couple videos dealing with Austin and Anna, that last a couple of weeks ago which included the Carlin thing (I think). There was one during the trial that talked about Joy and Austin being upset over being lied to about what Josh did to the sisters. There might be another but those were the obvious ones about Austin and Anna. She has all these sources close to the family which I suspect are all in her own mind. I confess I look at her FB page occasionally and even though I know better every now and then I look at a video. It is like reading tabloid titles while in line at the grocery store. There might be some speck of truth to some of her stuff but seems like it is covered up with wild fantasy.

Of course comments are turned off but how can 870 like that post?

I wonder if this has anything to do with Katie Joy/Withoutacrystalball? The last couple of weeks, WOACB has been posting really harsh stuff about Amy and Duggars. She has posted some messages between them also an interview that Amy asked her not to (because JB told/ask Amy to not make it public) even though I think (didn't watch) it was pretty fluffy, not negative about Duggars. WOACB claims she knew more about the Duggars than Amy and WOACB's supporters were harassing Amy. KJ, seems kind of unstable, who would want to be her "source" when they see her posting private conversations, etc. She is being really nasty about all the family, pretending it is to bring down a cult. Looks like someone wants to get in the documentary. Amy should have just cut ties quietly and not posted anything on Twitter, just let her connection with WOACB fade away. I don't think Amy is evil but is immature and her need for attention causes her to make really bad choices (which she never learns from).

Anna posted on instagram Not sure why except to say he is innocent. She links to the motion for acquittal or new trial. Poor Anna, she is as dumb as she seems. I wonder if she is the only one who still thinks he didn't do it.

James instagram pics. Yes, Joy is there too. https://www.instagram.com/jamesaduggar/

I appreciate that Jeremy seems to think it was funny that he was dressed up and posing with and associate when in the background there is silliness. I always thought my sense of humor was too sophisticated when my family and friends did that kind of stuff but I later thought it was funny. They wanted to get a rise out of me which is actually what made it funny. I am glad they can have some fun without JB there to interject his version of humor trying to get all the attention.

I figured she would be back soon, I think her last insta was Dec. 10 after the trial. Wonder if Joy will reemerge in the next couple of days? Probably a very good thing to do (take a long break). They grew up with cameras documenting so much of their lives, hope they all figure out you don't have to nor should you share so much with the public. Yeah, I know that is not going to happen. Well except for Lauren and Josiah.

It is a thing. In Ohio most of city zoos have special events, activities and rates to attract people during the winter. There is not as much to see outdoors as during the summer. Hope it wasn't too cold. They have coats and hats but still no mittens but maybe they didn't need them.

Jana was wearing pants on the plane trip and Jinger was in pants when they arrived at her house. I remembered when Jinger was doing a scene with Michelle when visiting talking about how she is choosing to wear pants. She cried. OK Michelle said it was an individual choice, sure it is.

They have arrived. https://www.instagram.com/p/CZIaLr1BV6W/

That is part of an insta story at, they are getting snacks. Then Jason posted this from Dallas airport https://www.instagram.com/p/CZHeEQErKwz/ Looks like they are struggling with keeping mask up but Michelle is complying.

Jana added a picture to her insta story and it looks like Michelle is going on the trip with them or maybe she took them to the airport. I am having trouble just getting picture so

James posted an insta story the other day about building a fence and it had a video with Jason and whatshisname working on a wooden privacy fence. I was wondering if it was at Jessa's new house.

The lonely Js headed out to California. Wonder if something special is going on or just a visit with Jinger and Jeremy. James added Yes Girl to Jason's story and Jana added an excitement gif. Jana's belated birthday celebration? Since Jeremy's statement on Josh was the harshest and Jason shared it, that is one conversation I would actually be interested in hearing, well if it goes beyond satan building a fortress.

Though I do not like the church they are involved in it is nice to see Jinger have friends that are not her sisters. It is interesting how different her life is from her best friend Jessa. This bride is a singer/musician, I assume she met her in church, but she had pictures of her bachelorette party and Jinger looked to be having fun with the other women, like a normal person. Maybe Jessa has non family friends too but she has chosen to hang on even tighter to JB's ways. While Jinger is out celebrating with friends, eating in nice restaurants; Jessa is going to game night at the big house with kids in tow because her husband won't go or watch the kids so she can get out. Never mind, family game night was probably just for the show.

Amy needs to just take a long break and act as if Katie Joy doesn't exist . When I first saw the post Amy made about WOACB, I thought it was about this crazy post KJ made on FB where she was talking about all kinds of crazy unrelated stuff. At one point she was going on about Mary's death and the rumors and suspicions since the death happened so close to when the raid happened and who really found her, etc. though she says she is not implying anything. Of course some of her followers (she has some nutty ones) started talking how suspicious it all was as if someone in the family had something to hide about the death. Amy will never learn as she is too anxious to be noticed. Between the two of them it is hard to tell what the actual truth is.

I was thinking the same thing. Jason also had some nice shots of the snow and he puts most of his insta pics videos to music (ebil secular music). Though sadly his last insta video is of him putting a hat rack for all his caps which is fine but it is of course in the "boys'" room. Both seem to have some skills and talents, they should move out together and work for themselves (ambition). Just a baby step. Hilary would be glad to help them.

Jana posted another story today, driving in the snow storm. She has been posting a lot lately (for her). I wish she would get out and live her own life but don't see that happening.

Oh the drama. KJ just posted a long statement to Amy on FB. I won't copy it here but it rambles on, basically saying that Amy is getting threats from Duggar lovers/KJ haters so she has to distance herself and she understands, etc. My feelings about Amy are neutral. I don't think she is a bad person but she likes attention too much and brings so much un-needed drama to herself. She has been a good support to Jill but she needs to stop with the attention whoring that brings her the drama she says she doesn't want. Has she really learned this time? Probably not, but fingers crossed.

From the comments on her twitter she is talking about WOACB Katie. I thought she "learned her lesson" a couple of months ago. Not sure what event caused this tweet, she refers to some live event. Amy, never learns. For context WOACB has been posting nonstop on FB about IBLP, the Duggars and Bates, abuse, etc. Wonder if she is trying to get noticed and get some air time on the documentary that is being made.

I am beginning to like Jason more. They also seem to be towing a motorcycle. I know the Spiveys are not much of an improvement over the Duggars but still an improvement. Maybe he will move his business there and work with them. I feel so bad for all the D kids/adults. Hope they all move on and leave JB & Michelle with Josh (pretending Anna leaves with the Ms). Yeah, it will never happen.

Jase posting video of the boys working out with more of the devil's music. Plus that guy who works for him (I forget his name) is shown shirtless, NIKE! I hope Michelle does not see it. The guy who did the blogs (Justin?) told a story about he and his brother with Josh and JD horsing around in the woods. At some point he and his brother take off their shirts but the J brothers don't. Michelle chews him and his brother out because it is not acceptable for them to go shirtless in front of her boys. It is nice that Jackson and Tyler are working out or at least hanging out with the older boys. https://www.instagram.com/p/CYZCaokA69f/

Jana is on a PR blitz. Look at us, one big happy family and so many friends. She posted a story with NYE party at the big house. Lots of people. I wonder if this is just a holiday thing or is she going to keep trying to show us how wonderful they are and pay no attention to the man behind the curtain bars.
