...all I need to see is the fact that Josh has no remorse nor regret...just arrogance...and on at least joy and jills faces...I see pain and trauma...Jessa I think is in denial...

Amy posted a late night chat session on IG...I am not techy so can't link it...but if you want you can head to her page and have a looky loo.....she wants so bad to talk...SO BAD...

What did she do when they showed it? I did not see anything about it..

I felt empowered and strong and righteous...but...and the big but here..is much like Jill...I was estranged from my family 8 years...and to this day , I do not talk to them much..I even moved on the other side of the country...I also had one other brother that was beaten and abused to the point of needing emergency intervention at about 8 or 9 from a behavioral center - due to of course his behavior and the fact that he was pulling his hair out...one strand at a time...but I digress...for me it was - acknowledging and then separating...for Jill ...if she acknowledges can she really separate completely and let her own story BE her own story , when you have 3 other sisters with fabricated (most likely) stories of their own??? if she is truthful and honest about what she has experienced at Joshe's "hands"...then what happens when the other girls stick with the story of - it was just curiosity...??? either Jill suppresses and backs off...or they acknowledge fully and move forward...or Jill just sticks to what she knows to be true and completely cuts them out of their life...what we are seeing is narratives of what happened being brought forward filtered through --all kinds of belief systems...Jill being on the witness list is going to shatter the family if she really speaks her truth..which for her sake..I hope she does....

that is going to be really hard on her body...my mom got pregnant twice before six weeks and she has had multiple surgeries because of what it did to her...

as someone coming from an abusive home - physically and verbally...it takes a long time and a lot of therapy...mine went something like this...I blame my Dad for the abuse in anger, I blame my mom for doing nothing, I blame God because why in the world did he dump me in that family...I came out on the other end and now in present time do pastoral counseling...the hardest part is the God part...and what makes it worse is other chrisitans invalidate my experience and probably the girls...I had someone do it yesterday...I have and they have the right to feel anger, to feel violated, and to not allow me to feel it is calling evil good - based on whatever scripture they are using to invalidate...I worked this out over many years often painfully ...but I had the support of my husband and many many people who helped me on the journey...strike one for the girls is they have mechelle...strike 2 is they have jim bob...and strike 3 ..is maybe the church they are going to ...I hope they can find their way....and I do think some of them are...

we are seeing it in their lives now..that failure...Joy , jill and Jinger have separated from their families and are not dependent on them...jessa is the one that I cannot figure out...was she so damaged that she is holding out for Jimbobs love and approval...

oh...no...i just heard he messed with them while they were sleeping...i had no idea he did that to little Joy...

which sister was this?...i know several of them were molested...

Alyssa is my least fave of all the fundie ladies....

I was wondering about money too..inflation is crazy right now...like within the past month all things doubled...and to top it off...my DH was hit head on in a car crash (he is fine, walked away with a second degree burn on his hand)...but we looked at a toyota cross and went back 4 days later and due to "market value" increase it was 5k more..and now a week later it is even higher...nuts nuts nuts...if I was Jill I would be holding on to every last dollar...

I know...the worst was Jessa's recent one of IVY...dirty nose , unkempt hair, shirt on inside out and the house a wreck in the background...complete with over turned chairs...totally oblivious ....sheesh...

well you should not drink it...but I do gargle with it and use it in a neti pot with other things...and my dh just got a bad burn on his hand...doc gave him silvadine...which has silver because it is anti - microbial...and i told my doc I used silver ..and he was fine with it...but again...we don't drink it....so jill gets a pass on this...at least she is not rushing to have them take an unnecessary antibiotic....

Well Tori just posted on IG...baby 3 coming spring 22...I KNEW she was pregnant in the pics at amys wedding...someone more techy will have to post a link to the pic's though...:)

Anyone know why Ben’s sister Jessica- the cop got divorced from her first husband…she just posted on IG she is remarried..but told her followers it was not due to domestic violence…wondering why she divorced …cheating??

yep you hit the nail on the head...the wardrobe is monotone...all neutral/earth colors...copper/ mustard/beige/stone...all of them wear - sell and promote clothes in this color...Joanna gaines better start wearing some red and fuchsia and teal...so we can have more selection...:)

Really?????...I am from louisville...so they were at southeast Christian..

All I can say in regards to josies dress….I hate that copper/ rust/ bronze color..and it’s all the rage with the bates, the duck wives and Audrey of the little the neutrals thrown in=boring…blech

that pic of her knee in a brace looks awful...looks like vascular damage with the swelling....I would be getting to a dr. asap over that swelling in her leg/feet/toes....

Well my life is ruined...because to my grandkids call me Mimi and my husband poppy...i guess in my defense I can tell them I wanted to be called Gigi ...but their father thought it sounded like a drug dealers name...sigh....

I think kelton and Josie are fine…he is very successful business wise and financially …which may have caused the other girls to be a tad jealous… it may seem kelton is putting his foot down…but In comparison to the fly by the seat of your pants mentality of the bates family..Josie is probably gravitating towards structure and normalcy…she probably has no household skills at all..and maybe kelton really is helping her navigate how to be a mom, take care of a household and a business…although I see her business eventually fading away as keltons business grows…it also seems like she has struggled with a bit of postpartum depression after this baby..anyway…i just compare what she has to Carlin ..who we all have seen how she treats her baby..no schedule, no clothes, junk food etc…and Alyssa who serves lunchables and junk food like it’s a five star buffet …kelton and Josie look tight and strict in comparison but are probably closer to normal …

All I have to add is …Katie is stunning…the prettiest of all the sisters..Katie has a classic look that is going to age well…and slowly Alyssa is turning into a caricature of herself..she needs help with those eyebrows and the plastic looking make up she is using..

Heathen...coming from Kentucky...I say...with the way the world is going....the hillbilly;s in Appalachia are the only ones that will survive...lol

i just saw a pic of her holding her little girl...the dress pulled in the front and there was a noticeable bump...I am thinking she is pregnant...

I just looked at pics of the wedding...Tori looks like she has a maternity dress on and she seems to be hiding her stomach...could an announcement be coming soon??
