I hope Derick opens a bakery, and names it Doughnations. They can sell banana squares. Oh, and bake and donate them too. And run the store.

I can't wait to see how this is spun on the show. I'm sure they'll just show Jill and Derick in the pool house and not comment on anything. Poor Derick has 17 other NWA ministries IN HIS OWN EXTENDED FAMILY to compete with before counting all the others. That dream is going nowhere fast.

They'll be fine for awhile but I think this marriage has so much unspoken crap hanging in the air the added tension is going to wreck things.

I now put the odds of Derick's DA murder spree at 7%. There's potentially some Josh-like big big secret in their circles that got them shitcanned - Sam's birth, DA inactivity, shared unhideable mental illness, etc. One the public find out it's over.

Poor Jill. A long time ago a poster wrote that she was on the highest pedestal, and had a long way to fall. How right that is.

Are those padded walls?

Look how grey she's gotten. 

I think those are bad highlights/overuse of sun-in.  That would explain that bun, which is an awful mess even for her.

I don't think they were ever actually employed by SOS because Jill never had the actual credentials. I think they paid their own way down there( hence the donations), maybe even paying rent.  I think when SOS continued to not hire them, and donations were not forthcoming, then they were done. 

 

Derick will get a youth ministry or Christian school teaching job. His tweets will not be a factor. 

Like Absolom said, SOS doesn't require any credentials. I've thought for a long time that all the TLC-filmed Duggar hysteria over how dangerous it was over there was going to bite Derick in the ass, and that might be what happened. They were probably told several months (or longer) ago that their last return to DA would be their final one and to leave with all their stuff when they left for Samuel's birth. 

I agree that his tweets won't be a factor in anything he would prefer doing, which isn't much anyway. Maybe if he wanted to work at Walmart or some other nation-wide company, his tweets might matter, but anything Christian-based or even most non-religious but local businesses wouldn't bat an eye. It's Arkansas, after all.

He never said he was abandoning the fantasy altogether, just that he prayed and Jesus told him to stay put and minister there. Maybe this is why he has gotten so busy on Twitter recently.  It's not like he's actually going to do something useful.

He reminds me of this girl I went to school with. Nothing was ever her fault: didn't make cheer-the judges weren't prepared for her skills,etc.

Dillweed could have gotten fired by SOS but God told him there was better, or he was too awesome to be away from NWA blah blah

I feel like I'm looking at a different photo, or maybe it's my bad taste or whatever, but Jill looks great to me. Nice dress, a bit baggy but clearly some effort was put into it. Nice earrings, and as I've said before, getting all that scraggly hair out of her face does wonders for her overall look. That's probably the biggest takeaway for me.

No comment on Derick the bigot. Except would it have been so damn hard to put actual shoes on? I like flip flops as much as the next lazy person, but not at a somewhat formal event.

I think Jill looks nice, she just needs to invest in a more supportive bra.

Jill definitely needs a bra fitting and some good quality nursing bras. That might also help with the wonky fit on the bodice of the dress. I think she looks so much better with her hair pulled off her face; messy updos seem to be on trend at present; I'd prefer a neat ponytail myself.

I think Izzy looks SO MUCH like Cathy, which I'm sure she loves because she has so few biological relatives. He seems to resemble her more and more as he get some older! I bet she's thrilled they're staying, and hopefully Izzy can spend a lot of time with her. 

Derick will clean toilets with Bin and call it his "ministry." They won't encourage people to donate, but the button will stay there. Meanwhile Jill will take pregnancy tests every day in hopes of beating Blessa to pregnancy #3...

somehow though I wonder how supportive Derick would be. Pregnant Jill is a big baby, and I think Jessa handles her pregnancy symptoms with a lot less complaining. Jill makes it hard on everybody, like when she told everyone what they could order at the restaurant. I wonder if Derick will get tired of tiptoeing around pregnant Jill eventually!

I think that Derick is more than tired of Jill, period. I also think that he is more than tired of the Duggars and the TTH. It will actually be intesting to see what happens. He's either going to have to stand up to JB and get a job and provide a home for his family, or he's going to have to suck it up and work for Duggar enterprises indefinitely. Will sloth win out? Or will his distaste for JB force him to GET A JOB?

I think Jill looks better here than she often does, and it's because her face looks more natural. Less makeup, less of the fake smile. Izzy is adorable and I hope he can keep that cute smile. Sammy looks very cute too.

THIS! I can't stand Jill either, but I thought she looked pretty good, genuinely more chill than I've seen. The only comment I'd make on her appearance is that she needs a good bra. I say this as a D/DD, those puppies are gonna kill her back and leave her with unfortunate stretch marks if she doesn't support them. But no snark on her post baby/c-section bode.

Yeah, I realize she's not got her figure back yet, but the way the dress hangs on her makes her look dumpy and frumpy.  A properly fitting bra would definitely go a long, long way.

It makes me sad now to remember her flight to Nepal and how cute they were.

IIRC, isn't this the same dress Jill wore when she met Derick at the Nepal airport?  I know we've seen it before& in a less frumpy state.  To me, the picture looks like it was taken at church or possibly a church dinner. I do feel sorry for Izzy having to wear a long sleeved dress shirt & vest in the Arkansas summer heat, A/C or not. I'd rather see him dressed like a little boy in the typical Duggar boy uniform -polo shirt & khaki (shorts).

Abused children need a lot of patience and understanding. Patience and understanding are not two things either one of them have. And in my opinion, they both need counseling and professional help before they even think are capable of helping others.

eta - I don't get that "fear of the lord" thing.  Why would someone want to worship a deity that they are afraid of?

I think they think they need that fear to keep them in line. And then it must become something like Stockholm Syndrome. I was lucky to grow up in a loving and welcoming church/religion so it is sad to me that these extremists don't know of such an option.

Bumper sticker:   Marrying a Duggar -- Always a Terrible Idea

I know!!! It makes me sad for what Derick could have become. Say he met a girl in his college accounting classes who had dreams and goals. She could have been just as cute as Jill, and a mainline Christian. They could have attended a campus Christian group together, and she would have wanted to get a normal job after graduation, so he would have accepted it as a fact of life and gotten one too. By the time they had a child, even if she had decided to stay home, he would have worked long enough to be used to it and not resent it. There were so many better alternatives for him than becoming a duggar!

I'm a little less than two months post partum and look even dumpier. I can't even knock the bra because after 3 kids I still haven't found a nursing bra that is actually as supportive as my regular bras and the ones I own weren't cheap. She looks fine.

Not a fan of Jill but Derick was a mistake. I don't know how this happened because Jim Bob clearly got an A-OK from God that Derick was the man for Jilly and they were prayer buddies and everything but something went very wrong here.  ;)   

Jilly Muffin was sacrificed to the altar of the All Mighty Dollar. Dullard was sold to mainstream audiences as a college educated man who grew up in a small family with a mother who worked and wore pants. People had hopes for Jill to escape her upbringing. Newp.

Every time Dullard does something stupid they try and make him palatable to a mainstream audience. Ooooh look, he has a man bun! He's just like us!

Probably for the best they stay in Arkansas. I think Dullard wants a break from his clingy wife and can pawn her off on her family. Which honestly is what Jill needs.

Jill Duggar and her husband Derick Dillard have come under fire over the past two years for their mission work in Central America. After a friend’s murder, Zika fears and more, the Counting On stars are finally returning to Arkansas for good. Jill and Derick, who are parents to young sons Israel and Samuel, broke the news on their blog. “Through a number of circumstances, and guided by much prayer and counsel, we are discerning the Lord leading our family’s full-time ministry back to the United States for the time being,” the post read. “We understand very well that mission work definitely requires flexibility. This, we have witnessed and experienced first-hand in our years of ministry.”

I agree about the Duggar clan and some others. Still in my experience conservative Evangelicals can be as kind as anyone else. They are hung up on sexuality and they are more tribal that most, but they do often have empathy for those who suffer including the poor, in many cases including people of other races. I'm a pretty outspokenly liberal Christian (with an MDiv) but I'm white and straight and Christian. I've never felt any lack of kindness toward me or mine. So, I'm not willing to go so far as to say they do not have empathy and kindness.

That isn't my experience. It may be because I live in rural Idaho, but the majority of the conservative Evangelicals I know (having attended church with them for 10 years) are extremely judgy and racist. Even the ones who are poor and need food stamps believe that most people on welfare are drug addicts and tramps who can't keep their legs closed. They, of course, are the exception to that. Dealing with that hypocritical attitude is one of the reasons I no longer attend church.

He wasn't though. Yes, those are the facts of his life but it was Duggar fans and haters alike that jumped to conclusions that he would be a rational, modernizing influence on Jill when it was obvious to anyone who paid any attention to fundies that wanting Jim Bob as a prayer partner and dreams of being a missionary were major red flags. You don't go from fairly mainstream to becoming more entrenched in legalism if you're not already well on the road to Batshitville.

Jill and Derrick are birds of a feather and in that sense, JB did an excellent matchmaking job. I think being too much alike it a big part of the problem with that relationship, but I suspect those two weirdos are generally pretty happy with each other, just unhappy with life in general.

I think the word friend is very broad in their world. It might be "The Lady's", cousin's, uncle's son, through marriage, that once played basketball down the street when he was a young lad.

Not an actual friend. He was someone who probably attended their church. Remember, the Duggars call anyone they exchange three words with--one of those words being Jesus--a friend.

Did anyone forget about the Duggar sisters' lawsuit with the local authorities and those magazine publications? Perhaps $$$$ is the reason the Dillards are sticking around NW Arkansas....so they can monitor and participate in the process of their 'case'? ....and something medical is going on with Jill and/or Sam.
