If Jill ever did become a professional housecleaner, I'm sure that she would bring a couple of kids along with her to do the actual cleaning.

I think that Jill really believes that she is a greatly admired celebrity in Fundie World and that her fans will gladly pay extra for a dress that she has owned and that they'll proudly wear it and show it off to their friends.

Yes, and I'll bet Jim Bob bitterly regretted it. He let his "sweet friends" appear on his TV show and, next thing he knew, they scored a special of their own, followed by a series on a competing network. He never made that mistake again.

He’s starting to look more and more like Josh.

Prince William can pull off the balding look because he's tall and confident with excellent posture and well-fitting clothes. The Duggar boys, not so much.

And the point wasn't as much providing Josh with treatment as it was keeping him safely out of sight while Jim Bob tried to do damage control,

And anxious to deflect attention away from their own sins by hysterically pointing their fingers at "others".

I'm sure that the kids have been told that Mamho is heartbroken and prostrated with grief after the horrible, hurtful thing that Phillip has done to her (and that will be exactly how Jill sees it; something that has been done to her). She will require extra special love and attention, extra reassurance that she the best mother in the world and presents. Lots and lots of presents.

The latte theme is a little silly, but at least somebody put some thought and effort into making it a nice event for Heidi. Jill would have recycled some decorations from her last ladies' retreat and dumped an expired bag of potato chips into a bowl.

It is very rare in Fundie families for a mere daughter to become the Golden Child. That role usually belongs to a pampered, spoiled eldest son like Josh Duggar. Daughters usually have to resign themselves to being beasts of burden.

Now that the Supreme Court has refused to hear Josh's case (which anyone with half a gnat's brain should have forseen), she's had to face the fact that he's not going to be released anytime soon and he's never going to be "vindicated". She must be in a foul mood these days and her SM posts are reflecting that.

The cake is photographed to make it look deceptively larger, but the slices of strawberry bring it down to scale. It’s barely bigger than a cupcake. I hope Sofia got a few crumbs after David was through “dipping up”.

Which one is Jill and which ones are her daughters? It’s so hard to tell.

I've always thought that the "Cover up every inch of bare skin! NIKE! NIKE!" crap was simply performance art for the TV cameras. The "Doing things a little differently" act got them a lot of attention, both from the leghumpers who worshiped them and the rest of us who came to snark. Now, thanks to Josh, the show has been cancelled and their brand is in ruins. The crowds have gone home, nobody left to show off for, so why bother enforcing the rules? I also think that Jim Bob's main preoccupation these days is hanging onto his financial empire, such as it is. As for Michelle, I think she's probably now just a shadow of her former self. Josh is one of the few children she seemed to genuinely love and his incarceration must have been devastating for her. I think she now goes through her days like a zombie and wouldn't even notice if all her sons front-hugged their girlfriends and all her daughters mowed lawns in their bikinis.

I'm sure Tim declined a beer in favor of a coke or a bottle of water. The real sign of growth for him would be if he could do so wiithout getting all self-righteous and sitting in judgement on those who took a beer. I hope he's reached a point where he could.
