I'm glad the article also explains the controversial issues with MacArthur's church as well.

I'm really old because I remember a Dick Van Dyke episode where the Petries set up a blind date for a neighbor and the date had "invented" removable coat sleeves. If that storyline had been on Andy Griffith, Jing might be familiar with it! 

Yeah, they did removable sleeves in like 1300s Europe…

Heck, they had them for women's clothing through the 1700s, probably into the 19th Century.  They generally secured them with pins.

[Meow Mix]

I remember reading in some Latin American countries, women would have attachable sleeves that they would wear when the went to church to be more modest.  Not sure it they pinned them or if they had elastic that held them in place.

Dude Jeremy must be so pissed that his wife is the famous one. Not many care about Jeremy’s opinion. 
 

No NYT articles about Jeremy’s book lol.

No recent shoe/cheeseburger/fountain pen posts from Homie, either.  You'd think he would want to strike while the iron is hot and snag one of those lucrative influencer gigs he's been working so hard for.  I wonder if someone in a position of power asked him to lay low while Jinger is in the spotlight?  Does Jere call Cade late at night and ask him how he deals with having a famous wife when it's clear that the menfolk have so much untapped star potential?

[oliviabenson]

I forgot about Cade lol

Their new house is now quite the drive from the trendier places they used to go.  I expect that's putting a damper on Jeremy's field trips plus now they have two pre-schoolers to drag around and that isn't an age group known for its tolerance of meaningless car rides for restaurant meals.  

[oliviabenson]

Rad homie had free rent before and now he has to pay mortgage etc that eats into entertainment budget.

Unless they are getting free meals I don’t think they are eating out as often as before.

[laurakaye]

I didn't realize they were paying a mortgage now.  On what income, Jinger's tv and book royalties?  Is Jeremy getting paid even though he's still in school?

I'm fascinated how these two live Hollywood lives on a Z-list celebrity's income.

[GeeGolly]

Its kind of crazy to be on the outside looking in...

Who would Jeremy be if he didn't marry Jinger? Who would Jinger be if she didn't marry Jeremy?

Of all the couples, IMO the Vuolos wouldn't be who and where they are now if not for each other.

[Absolom]

Jeremy has had a job at the church/seminary throughout their time in Los Angeles county.  My guess is that they used a lot of Jinger's book advance for a larger than average down payment on the house.

Jeremy admitted during the lawsuit deposition that he made hardly any money, Jinger was and still is the bread winner.

How does Jeremy reconcile sponging off his wife with his misogynistic views is beyond me. Walk the walk, Jeremy. Like Ben you are a failure as a man, father, and headship if we use your own standards.

He sought out Jinger for a reason, imo.

I don’t hate those shoes.

Neither do I. 

As for "natural" hair. I have natural wavy/curly hair. I spent a number of years blow drying it out. I gave up on that about 10 years ago. My husband loves it natural and so do I. And it is not only easier to get ready in the morning, my hair is much healthier.

[xwordfanatik]

More backside pictures.  Yawn.

Their hair looks as snarly as Cousin Ivy.

[Absolom]

It's just what little girl natural curly hair does especially if it's the least bit windy at least in California.  The only way around it is shower every morning, load with conditioner, use a wet brush, and then spray with leave in conditioner as it air dries.  Most mothers aren't going to bother with all that every single day.  

[Westiepeach]

Please, just leave those girls off SM. We don't need to see their backs.

[oliviabenson]

To bad they weren’t facing a window or a mirror lol

[floridamom]

I agree....stop with these photos. No shoes on that gravel surface?

It's not like Jinger is working 12 hour days at a factory. They are living off the fame from the lifestyle Jinger grew up in, which is the same lifestyle they are now saying is a cult. They might also have monetized Jinger's Instagram (no idea how that actually works though). I just hope they have a long term plan, because the money from this fame isn't going to last. People are going to lose interest eventually.

I'm surprise they haven't. There's not really anything interesting about Jeremy or Jinger. They don't do anything, have any fun hobbies, a niche or anything.

No, they really don't do much:

Concerts, family camp, golf, shopping, cooking lessons, travel, writing 3 books, skiing, soccer games, making podcasts, Creating a retail website, beach trips, hanging with famous friends, going on podcasts, personal appearances, creating a bespoke coffee, hiking, fishing trips, bible study groups, working out, piano lessons, etc. Plus hosting all the random family members that want a California vacation. 

Oh, and parenting 2 small children.

But yeah, soooooooo dull and unmotivated compared to the scintillating Jill & the dynamic Jessa.

I do think they have a plan - use Jinger's New York Times status to churn out books for the foreseeable future, and use Jeremy's doctorate to help find some sort of church/university job and the occasional speaking gig - again, with the help of Jinger's New York Times status. And possibly collecting some small royalties from these books.  (Amazon sales rankings indicate that the first two are still selling - not in high numbers, but still selling.)

Since they are limiting their family size, I'm guessing they will be financially fine. Maybe not as financially fine as Jeremy would want - ok, definitely not as financially fine as Jeremy would want - but comfortable.

JinJer (mostly Jin) did another podcast with Allie Beth Stuckey. I haven't listened to it all (it's an hour), but Jeremy confirms pretty early in that he's a Calvinist. A lot of talk about Gothard and purity culture. 

eta If anyone is curious, it's posted on Allie's YT.

I’m not sure if this is already posted.  I thought the straight hair gives her a really different look.

Allie Beth is a truly horrendous excuse for a human being.

I'm glad to see that Jer shaved off that beard, but has gotten away from the shaved head look.

Maybe he had some kind of hair replacement procedure.

Photos from Jinger's IG that shows her with all her sisters and niece/nephews.  The two boys are apparently JD's and Jill's.

I guess they got the memo from JB to post photos showing that they all get along since some of the press were saying there was friction among the siblings because of Jinger's book.

Is Frederick the baby in the third picture and Charlie the last one? I thought it was the other way but I think Charlie is older. Who is the baby girl? Lauren’s?

According to FB, that's Brinley, Jer's daughter.  

Not sure which is Freddy and which is Charlie.

eta:  Now I'm reading that's not Freddy--it's Truett.

I keep forgetting those two and their baby, thank you. It’s a good thing for the Gen 3 new kids not to be easily recognizable. 

[Gemma Violet]

Per my edit above, it makes sense that it's probably Truett and not Freddy since Jill hasn't been posting photos of her kids lately.

If you click on the picture, Jinger tags the parent(s). So yes, it's Charlie, Brinley, and Truett in that order.

Charlie looks a lot like Gracie.

Charlie is adorable, they all are. Truett has grown a lot.

[Spazamanaz]

That baby girl looked a lot like Kendra to me. I forget about Brinley. But Brinley does have extra chubby cheeks.

Started her new book today. When I picked it up from the library I thought it’s short, no problem. Wow, a lot of Bible thumping to get through. Sorry if that’s your jam, it’s not mine. But it is interesting how she talks about what she thought as a kid and what she believes now. (Or maybe it’s what her husband believes? But at least she wears pants and isn’t going to have 19 kids.)

I can’t imagine having so much anxiety about everything as a child. Poor kid.

Wow. The group of Duggar women are, on the whole, a not very attractive bunch.  You would think that in nearly 20 kids there would be a stunner in the group, but nah.

Are you saying Jessa is not the hot one? She’s not going to like that. 
 

Of course beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think Joy is very pretty, and so is Jana. Joy, Jill, and Jessa dress down a lot, and are not image conscious like Alyssa, Carlin, Josie, and Katie. That may affect how people view their looks. One thing is certain, as a group they are far more attractive than the rapidly aging starting at puberty Duggar men.

I think they look nice. Not everyone can be beautiful and we have no control over our looks.

No control absent surgical means, but presentation is 100% within our control.  And good grooming. 

I don't care if it is a casual meal, Jill looks like a street person wearing men's trashed cast-offs.  She looks like she smells. 

And the TTH girls look like they dressed out of the communal dirty clothes basket as usual.  

Even Jinger's plain T-shirt and jeans and Jana's simple sweater look like high fashion in comparison. 

[Dehumidifier]

There's nothing wring with their facial looks and none of them are overweight either despite their pregnancies so they must be doing something right.
