Once again, Michelle, I'm going to have to bum you out with a big old steaming pile of fact: I was born a girl, I'm glad to be a girl, I'm very feminine looking, I love being feminine looking...AND I'

I can't get over what an awful name Paedon is. It makes some of the Duggar gems, like Jinger and Spurgeon, almost sound like poetry. 

Incredibly, Paedon is one of the lesser offensive names of Christine's kids. That woman loves a random y...Aspyn, Truly, Ysabel, Mykelti(?!?!?!).

I still think those are better than Spurgeon, though. 😂

Aspyn is really awful. I wouldn't name a kid Truly, but I have read a book with a protagonist named Truly, so I will allow it if it were spelled Truly and not Truely. LOLOL

Mykelti--I wonder if they got that from actor Mykelti Williamson, aka Bubba in Forrest Gump and Limehouse in Justified.

Yeah the names are not my style and the spellings are not my style either.

 

Maybe Mykelti is some kind of a prophet or something. Or a restaurant that sold good nachos.

Per Mykelti Williamson the name Mykelti is a boy's name meaning "silent friend".  He was given it by his half-Blackfoot Indian grandfather

So I was thinking that JB must have been very confident that he would just roll along for the rest of his life being in total control of all the family's money, with the kids only getting their share of the family wealth after both he and Michelle had died.

Abusers never consider their control ending.    It's not a 100% exact correlation, but abusers tend to be narcissists.   They literally cannot see anything other than in relation to them.   That means they don't see anyone leaving their control or even really existing without them.   It's why abusers get so nasty when someone attempts to leave their control.   It's not just the loss of control, its the destroying the abuser's worldview that they are center of the universe and no one or no thing exists independently of them.   Case in point:   JB absolutely positively losing it when Jill demanded her money.    A non-abusive narcissist would have said "yeah I was trying to get as big a refund as possible, but I invested all that money for you, here's the account, its yours now."   But the abusive narcissist sees it as "I don't think you are so great, you don't handle everything perfectly, you are WRONG."    Hence the threats and everything else he did to justify his actions. 

I've said it before, JB was attracted to Gothardism not believe this is the way to heaven but because this is a religion that feeds his narcissism.     He is required to be in control and everyone must do what he says.   That's why the 200 year plan appealed to him.   Not a "tribe" to take over the world and usher in the Kingdom of Heaven, but thousands of people who he controls.   

Michelle is not much better.   But her narcissism is about the attention she gets rather than the control over others.   Which could explain why she dropped of the contract.   She knew she would get attention for doing it.

I've been thinking about Jim Boob, probably because I listen to the Digging up the Duggars podcast. I really detest what JB and Meech have done to their family. I've been thinking lately that JB is probably just a stupid, insecure male. I mean, it's so dumb to make someone like Bill Gothard your leader. His program and opinions are stupid and he never even followed his own advice. I'm sure that what attracted JB to Gothard's way of life was the fact that he'd be the dictator for life over all of his kids....well, that's how it's supposed to work anyway. It's misogynistic bullcrap that is a distortion of Biblical values, but JB couldn't resist the power trip. He's an awful, awful man!

It is kind of amazing the Duggar family went from small homes and violins to a huge home with pianos and harps. They really were the JRods and TLC helped them put their grift into overdrive.

Bringing this over from the Dillards topic.

I actually hate to write this. I know, the Duggars were living in a hellhole little house, with the bigger house far from finished, and eating cheap food, before TLC came along.

But. As odious as he is, JB has really worked to support his family. In SHP, Jill talked about how he had a tow truck business when she was a little kid, and he would be called out at all hours. Sometimes she would ride along with him, and she enjoyed that. She said the smell of diesel fuel brings back those memories to her. I wouldn't be surprised if JB gets busted some day for sketchy biz dealings or tax dodges. If it's true that he drained $200K of his own capital on his idiotic race to unseat his party's serving US Senator, while his family was squashed into that little house and living on cheap food - he's a schmuck.

But AFAIK he did real work, including the tow truck and stocking shelves in a supermarket, as well as the used car biz and real estate. JB has a level of hustle and willingness to actually do some WORK to get ahead, that appears significantly absent in the makeup of David Rodrigues. David quit his real job to be a traveling preacher, a "missionary." But he's a low energy, low effort version of that. He's admitted he has just a few sermons that he uses and re-uses. IIRC his "printing ministry" offers just a few publications to its clients. I mean, the man can't be bothered to write a new sermon, or create a new flyer to offer his brothers and sisters in Christ? 

Now that I've pointed out their differences? I don't know what's worse. JB, the nasty hustler. Or David the lazy drifter and grifter.

I would not give JB credit for being on call 24/7 with the tow truck as something great or heroic. Many people in different professions/trades are on call 24/7. My husband who worked for hospitals in a non clinical position was on call 24/7 also. He was called out in the middle of the night, in the rain, thunder and lightning and sometimes had to go on the hospital roof for the repair(s) needed at 3am awakened from a sound sleep. Back to JB, I also don't remember that he did all of those businesses/jobs at one time; these were over the years Yes, he wasn't lazy but he had no choice as his family was already living, IMO, on the brink of poverty in their standard of living. The man had saved $200K those years ago. I wonder with inflation, what the value of that sum would be today? I also heard that his mother gave him that money to run for office.....the he didn't save it himself. Does anyone know what actually is the truth here?

No doubt both JB&M worked hard in the first few years of their marriage. I wouldn't however give too much props for a 24/7 tow truck driver as I'm guessing his middle of the night tows were few and far between.

I also don't think the Duggar parents worked any harder than the average parents of a young family. The difference being most young families don't have church members dropping off "love offerings", a woman doing their laundry, discounts on music lessons, etc. So yup they worked hard AND they grifted hard.

He also had parents who already owned real estate, thus his “in” to that field.

Handed to him or night, he did work a real job as opposed to his sons who are all working for daddy.

Yeah he did. But he's the reason his sons work for him. He kept them under educated and with no skills or people skills. Had they had they had either or both most probably would have jobs someone else.

Jim Bob was never going to be homeschooled. His sister went to public school all the way through. Not sure when Jim Bob entered that Christian school but it was a real school. Perhaps he started out in public school and that would have been a real education also. I don't think JL had any home schooling thoughts about either of his children. Besides, Mary worked a regular job or jobs throughout her life so she could not home school her kids.

So my half-ass opinion is that JB & Michelle went to Texas to see Josh over Christmas & left the house to the kids.  

I just can't see him willingly accepting glad tidings of great joy from Deernut, the snotrag who called him a pimp in print.  And in interviews.  And in magazines. 

Is JB that forgiving and Christ-like? 

Not a single pic thus far has even a part of a glimpse of a sliver of either one of them.  Now, I'm sure there are loads of pics as yet unseen, so maybe they issued stern warnings to their kids to leave them out of any photos.  But maybe they were there celebrating up a storm. 

I'm skeptical.

I looked it up and it was that podcast. They were talking about the control over the contracts and how JB basically negotiated with TLC so they would only have to deal with him and have the one contract with him.  He gave the right to film all the events of the kids.  Derick was saying it was like a pimp JB was going to give the the services of all the families and their life events.

Former Boobchelle besties Jim and Bobye Holt are in the news. Bobye rescinded her restraining order against Jim. She claims he had counseling (suuuure Jan), and has changed. 

Good luck with that, Bobye.

I guess she forgot that Josh, too, had counseling. It didn’t work on him and probably didn’t here either.

I hope she stays safe. Doesn’t it take a victim 7x to leave?(on average)

Sadly, it takes time to realize that an abuser can be on best behavior for a few months to try to get back on your good graces.  I wonder if they have gone through this cycle before and if so how many times it will take before she realizes that he will never change.

I am not well versed but isn’t there a diagnosed cycle? The “honeymoon period” follows repenting and then the cycle of abuse starts again.

Jim and Bobye Holt have lost custody of their 3 minor children. They are now living with older brother Spencer. 

Posted here because it's rumored that JB was part of the "counseling" group who helped reunite Bobye and Jim 

That's ummm bad.   Guess letting Jim back in the house where the kids could be in danger was what caused CPS to act.   Presuming this was a formal court ordered removal, not just the parents deciding the kids would live with big brother.

If I was Bobye, I'd choose the kids over Jim. No contest!
