My push presents after having my kids were my kids.

Tough crowd!  She's wearing modern shoes with closed toes, pants, and a shirt that literally calls back to her family's ridiculous rules and there are still 35 things wrong with what she's doing.

Huge drought here.  The landscaping of many look like shit. Unless you have an Oprah budget.  Montecito here is full of green lawns.  Everywhere else looks pretty bad unless they have fake grass.

I live in California, so I am well aware of the severe drought. I was just snarking on their priorities. 😀

When they bought the house the "landscaping" was gravel with some paved areas and pots.  With all the rain, weeds have sprouted.  Someone needs to remove said weeds or they will have dead weeds shedding seeds.

 

I remember that. That's why I was saying it looks awful. They're too lazy to pull the weeds, and it makes the yard look awful.

I hope those who keep their green lawns during a major drought are fined exorbitantly. Selfish aholes.

We had a bad drought here back in the 90s.  I removed a lot of plants that required more water as they died and either planted drought resistant or just mulched.  One of my neighbors complained (she complained about everything) and I told her that I would rather not have a fancy yard if it meant there was not enough water to drink or put out a fire with.  

As far as Jinger's anxiety, I do believe it.  I have read several survivor blogs where people grew up terrified of losing their salvation and going to hell.  It's very common in these fundie para church groups like IBLP and Vision Forum.

Well well well. 

Mac Daddy's church is under fire.

That is extremely disturbing. Misogynistic and not biblical. Infidelity is a specific reason for divorce. Jesus didn’t go on and on about needing to provide incontrovertible evidence of it to warrant divorce, either.

Nor could I see a man who spoke out specifically against harming children giving the thumbs up to these people, who thought it would be just dandy to move an abuser back into the home of his victims.

He and Derick both had more exposure to the real world and secular life than the other inlaws, and I've always found it creepy that they sought out partners who were so immature and sheltered rather than the more educated and independent women they were undoubtedly exposed to. It almost seems predatory to me. Is this a case of being careful what you wish for? I wanted a meek, compliant wife but not that meek and compliant. 

Oh, he knew exact what he was marrying and that’s why he wanted her. I guess he realized that wasn’t what he wanted. Obviously she complied with his request  because she didn’t want him to leave her.

What I find curious is that in all of the years and years that the Duggar children have read the bible, over and over again, no one ever noticed the conflict with Gothard's "teachings" and the actual bible text? I shake my head at this. I would think the Duggar parents, with their "superior knowledge" in their bible, would also have noticed the conflict here. Instead, if they did, they did nothing and continued with these unnecessarily severe rules.

I have the same question. With all of the time they’ve claimed to spend reading the Bible, not one of them noticed the conflicts?

I think they read only carefully selected sections of the Bible approved by Gothard.  They sure missed the part where Jesus talked about loving their neighbor and not judging.

Yeah, I think they just accept that whatever Got Hard says is true. He's their cult leader, after all, not to be questioned. I doubt any of them has ever actually read the Bible, certainly not critically. They don't think critically, and they don't read critically. 

Jing extolling the virtues of one cult over another is just one more example of a lack of critical thinking.

Gothard's teachings worked best on newer Christians who weren't as familiar with the Bible.  He would quote passages all over the place and people would come out of his seminars with their Bible full of sticky notes marking out all the stuff he had referenced.  It was like a magician's slight of hand so that people were so dazzled that they thought everything he came up with was in the Bible somewhere.  Couple that with being told that questioning would lead you straight to hell and you have the end result we are seeing.  The problem with Jinger now is that she is still parroting someone else's interpretation rather than her own.

While y'all are looking at Jinger's feet, I can't get over the crimped hair and fanny pack.  I find fanny packs worn as a crossbody to look stupid.  

I told my Mom THIS is the new way to wear them! Lol. I told her she could borrow mine, she doesn’t want to wear it that way either. I prefer to wear it as a crossbody because it’s easier to reach my phone that way. Reminds me of my chest pocket in my Northface. 
 

I like Jinger’s outfit but I do agree the shoes are a miss. They would’ve looked cute with some slip on sneakers. Those shoes remind me of “futuristic clogs”.

I also prefer a more traditional crossbody where the bag sits at my hip versus having a bag strapped across the Girls.  Mary Ann and Wanda are enough on their own, no need to bulk them up.

Odd choice of angle for a photo.

I think Jinger is very pretty, but this photo does her no favors. Why would her husband post this one? (I know it’s an older one)
 

The outfit is fine “casual day around the house”, I like the tan joggers with the navy sweatshirt. But her face/hair style looks as if she feels really unwell and he’s driving her to urgent care!

She looks a lot like Jill in this photo. I wonder if one of the kids took it? It's an odd angle to be JereME, unless he's reclining!

Is it an older one? I’m not sure of the exact date. And yes, Jeremy must hate her.

So after letting Google lens do some work, those ugly ass shoes are made by a company called "Fear of God" and they're called the "California slip on" and retail for $145.00-$190.00.

It could’ve been one of the kids, but it looks as if Jeremy is laying down and getting the shot that way. But again why post this one?


I do see a resemblance to Jill (in the cheeks and jaw from that angle).

Joy and Austin put up one video (I assume there will be another) on their trip to Jinger's. It is interesting that Joy is showing her kids and not showing the faces of Jinger's girls.  I wonder if it causes her think about her own kid's privacy, I doubt it. Apparently they were there for a week. Wonder if there were any conversations about IBLP or theology?   I would bet Jeremy would be wanting to talk about it.

It’s probably well established by now that J&J do not want their daughters’ faces on SM. Joy is being a considerate sister and abiding their wishes. 
 

Sadly, I don’t think Joy will ever make the connection, unless Austin does first. JB&M  have been extraordinarily successful at sucking the individuality out of their children. It’s most obvious with the married four older ladies.

It took Jill awhile but she is a pants wearing, family planning, social drinker who recognizes some of the damage done. But a lot of it came through Derick’s prism.

Same with Jinger and Jeremy. There’s no way Jinger would be talking about her cult like upbringing and contraception if her headship didn’t believe the same. 
 

Austin would have to be the one saying there are nice looking people out there who look at pictures of babies and kids online for sexual gratification. And then draw a map to her brother. Joy is dim as it gets. I sometimes feel sorry for her.

Jessa is the only daughter (so far) to be unabashedly large and in charge. Ben doesn’t have a snow ball’s chance in hell of changing her mind about parenting, or anything else. It would take a catastrophe to maybe open her eyes. Jessa is going to ride her father’s financial coattails, monetize her children, have a baby every year, and remain as ignorant as ever.

It will be interesting to see how the younger four girls evolve as adults.

Supposedly Italian craftmanship, and "Even better, the pairs arrive in clean colorways, including “Oat”, “Almond”, “Concrete” and “Cement.”  Oh, brother!

If he did lay down to get this shot, it’s even more screwed up than I originally thought. 🤣

It should have caused her to think about limiting her exploitation of her own kids, but Joy doesn’t seem to think much. She’s been driving around without seatbelts and traveling cross country during a pandemic while heavily pregnant as well 🥲🤦‍♀️. Not to mention keeping loaded guns sitting out around young kids.

I hope those shoes are comfortable because they surely don't have style going for them.  They aren't even up to my grocery shopping standards because they're backless.  I don't trust other shoppers not to push their carts into me.  I guess all Jeremy had to see was pricey "Christian" shoes to convince Jinger to wear them.

I think Jinger has average size feet but those shoes look huge.  My 12N feet would look like gunboats!
