The Duggalos: Jinger and the Holy Goalie

[Lady Whistleup]

Omg. I just watched those clips of Jeremy and he's awful at preaching. He's condescending and lacks warmth. And he's also offensive.

 

[Zella]

Wait a minute. The guy who spends his free time taking pictures of his sneakers, pocket squares, and burgers is going to criticize how someone who is terminally ill spends their final hours as somehow superficial by his standards? What a fucking c***.

Yep. And now he's been preaching for, what?, six years already. More? And now he's taken some how-to-preach courses, too, including from some people who are pretty good at preaching. 

While he showed a little bit of progress while he was in Laredo, as far as I can tell he plateaued going into the last year of the Laredo job and hasn't improved noticeably -- in either content or delivery -- since. And that, to me, makes absolutely no sense unless you truly are dumb as a rock and also aren't trying.  

He just loves to tell people what they're doing wrong, however.....So I guess he's at least getting fun out of it. 😁

I don't have much use for WOACB, but she's been posting snippets of Jeremy's sermons the past couple of days. He took a racist swipe at Hispanics, saying that boys are raised to be thieves, but this one, attacking the terminally ill, is especially offensive.

Where are the dying people watching soap operas and game shows instead of facing their mortality Jeremy has seen in hospitals? I've never seen them.  How insulting that he thinks that anyone in the hospital watching TV is wasting time they should be spending begging God for forgiveness.  

[GeeGolly]

I'm not sure I understand Jeremy's sermon. Is he basically saying, no one on their deathbed says I wish I spent more time at work, watching TV, etc? In other words, make sure you have your priorities in order.

I did find it offensive to say dying folks "pathetically" lay on their deathbed.

I have no idea either. But it's fantastically offensive in a time when because of the pandemic so many people are dying alone in a hospital on a ventilator.

At least it’s got (what appears to be) some fresh vegetables in it. If it’s seasoned correctly, it looks like it could taste pretty good. But, who knows? 🤷‍♀️

Love story? And when did they “date?” They called it a courtship.

[emmawoodhouse]

The sermon is pre-covid. But yeah, especially offensive today.

[Lady Whistleup]

What gets me is the entitlement of Jeremy. What is Jeremy doing on a daily basis to be closer to God? Is he closer to God when he goes to InandOut Burgers? Does that podcast? Finds another pocket square? Another fountain pen?

I'm confused.

He seems to be mocking people for being on the deathbeds with the television on. How does he know whether people are on their deathbeds? And who is he to say they can't watch television even if they are dying?

[BetyBee]

Jeremy is really a judgmental jerk.

I looked at the video again. This is even before he married, so this is the asshole that Jinger fell in love with. 

[JoanArc]

What an asshole.

Also, his delivery is EXACTLY like Chis Farley's 'Van Down By The River' speech. Like, I'd have thought this was a parody of preaching.

Inside of ten years, they're gonna wind up living in the other side of the warehouse from Josh, wearing thrift store clothes.

I wish I could like this post more than once. I also wish it could be posted somewhere where that sanctimonious hypocrite would be forced to see it over and over again.  

[Churchhoney]

I think most of us know by the time we reach adulthood that when someone is sick, lonely, grief-stricken, depressed, in a strange place, etc etc etc etc, having a television or radio going is often a way to bring the sound of other humans' voices nearby, That's comforting and helpful in all kinds of down times for many many many people.

The fact that Jer's so busy "making his point" without thinking about that very plain fact of human nature just shows, as so often, that he either has little to no real empathy or doesn't bother to tap into it. 

Even to be a good con man, you at least have to fake a little empathy. And to be a good pastor, teacher, writer, speaker, leader of people or any of the other things he claims to aspire to, you need to exhibit some -- or a lot -- of it. 

I really wonder whether he's actually the stone cold jerk he usually appears to be....or what. 

 

[Chicklet]

So people who are dying watching tv is bad, but healthy people with their faces stuck in their phones and taking pictures of hamburgers is godly? Pick a lane idiot.

Sometimes the sound of TV is preferable to the other constant, loud sounds in a hospital. It was for my dad when he was dying. Fuck Jeremy.

She sure does. I know not everyone agrees with me, but I still think she suffers from an eating disorder. In ED-speak, she restricts.

Question for The Asshole Known as Jeremy: Is it okay to watch Counting On while you're terminal? How about his podcast? Is it okay to listen to that while you're dying? 🙄

He over-gestures in his sermons.

Buy the book, subscribe to the podcast.....but don't actively use them if sick!

I doubt Jing and Jer eat out everyday, so I'm guessing Jinger has prepared most of their meals these last 5 years. And from the last two pics, it seems she tries to recreate meals they enjoyed at restaurants. Jinger, being a Duggar, is making very easy to copy meals, yet somehow thinks this is special. 

She's copying the exact foods my co-workers and I would often get for lunch pre-pandemic. We have a great deli/produce place that makes great paninis and sandwiches. We know the schedule and whereabouts of like 5 food trucks, there's a yummy Puerto Rican style Spanish restaurant not to far from work and too many Chinese places, as well as a great seafood place nearby. Next up will likely be pernil, chicken wings, some type of lo mein and a seafood bowl. 

Please tell me this Puerto Rican place is in Southern California, and then tell me the name.

So sorry, its in New England. A mom & pop place, and from what a few of my staff and co-workers tell me, the food is just like gramma makes.

I saw the Hispanic dad video, and wow. Jeremy thinks he's an expert on culture because one or two of his teammates was raised a particular way? 

I consider myself a person of faith and I don't think God minds if a terminally ill person watches TV in the hospital. You can't spend every waking minute of the day praying and repenting for sins.

Watching those clips made me feel really bad for Jinger. 

Jeremy doesn't even understand that dying is often a slow, long process.  Some people are in hospice care for over a year.  Are they supposed to pray every minute?  He is stupid.  I only watched the first minute and couldn't stand his exaggerated hand motions.

Do Fundies like Jeremy and Ben ever preach without using others as examples of living (or dying) wrong?

A lot of Covid patients suffer from thinning hair as well.   

I'm wondering if they went through Covid and are desperate to keep it from going public because of Jeremy's boss?

I think the point he’s trying to make is when you’re on your deathbed, you’d better turn off the TV and work on making things right with God (by praying/reading the Bible); otherwise, you’re going to die and go straight to hell in a hand basket.

That's what I said, but who is he to judge people on their "deathbeds"? It's not his place to tell people how to die. He comes off as jerk for saying that.

Well, I think Jer has this backwards. I would think God would be more concerned about how one lived the majority of their life, not how they spent their waning days.

maybe the people already made their peace with god. confessed whatever and god said it's all good, take the pain meds as needed and watch some mindless TV until it's time to come home.

I think Jer's preferred form of god doesn't pay much attention to what you do on a daily basis. 

He likes the god that is only super-concerned with that ONE moment -- which can be at the very end of your life -- when the light dawns and you suddenly yell, "Oh! Oh! I see the light! I know NOW that I'm a miserable sinner! Save me, Jesus! I accept you as my personal savior!" and then you get express mailed right to heaven. 

Saves having to think about your behavior for the rest of your life. All you need is that one minute for a god like that.

On Jeremy’s Instagram stories, he said that they are doing a live on Jinger’s Instagram account, “some time tonight “,  reading an excerpt from chapter 3 of the book. It will be about what it was like growing up on television.

”Some time tonight”, great marketing there. It hasn’t been posted about yet, on Jinger’s Instagram, or on Hope We Hold. Effort is hard.

JinJer are live now. They're reading from the book.
