Are we sure he even went to law school? Maybe he became a lawyer by watching one for an hour and decided he was an expert. 

This led me down an interesting rabbit trail. I just checked out his LinkedIn--he bills himself an innovative NWA attorney! 👀--and apparently he attended Liberty University's law school. I found that a bit odd since he went to the U of A as an undergrad and most AR attorneys I know are U of A grads. But the internet tells me Liberty's program is pretty well known for its low admissions standards, so I suspect he was not exactly wowing anybody with his initial application.

No wonder he's so crappy. Liberty U doesn't exactly seem the place where their graduates are qualified for anything.

Lawyers can sometimes get a bad rap just because of their profession. Using the word innovative certainly can't help. Its almost like Story is advertising what a good liar he can be. ⚖️🤥

So Amy just announced that she's quitting Twitter (on Twitter). She claims people on there have been mean, judgemental and other things..most of it coming from a posr from her saying she feels horrible for people who don't have Jesus in their lives, etc. Some people made a bunch of comments about it she didn't like so she's all butt hurt about it. 

[GeeGolly]

Amy writes an insulting statement (fuck-you Amy)

I truly feel sorry for anyone who doesn’t believe in Jesus. What a terrible life that would be. Devastating without any hope. Jesus says pray for your enemies. I’ve got a lot of praying to do!

Then claims folks twist things (again, fuck-you Amy)

 

I’m just over Twitter. You can’t say anything right anymore without someone twisting / assuming/ attacking and judging. IM OVER IT and I don’t think I’m coming back.

 

[emmawoodhouse]

Good riddance. She'll still be on Instagram. She will never leave SM totally. Her business relies on mail order from her fans 

[BitterApple]

Yawn. She'll be back in a week. Her need for attention outweighs the shots from all the "haters."

[emmawoodhouse]

As noted above, Famy's not leaving Instagram.

I wonder if this has anything to do with Katie Joy/Withoutacrystalball?  The last couple of weeks, WOACB has been posting really harsh stuff about Amy and Duggars.  She has posted some messages between them also an interview that Amy asked her not to (because JB told/ask Amy to not make it public) even though I think (didn't watch) it was pretty fluffy, not negative about Duggars. WOACB claims she knew more about the Duggars than Amy and WOACB's supporters were harassing Amy. KJ, seems kind of unstable, who would want to be her "source" when they see her posting private conversations, etc. She is being really nasty about all the family, pretending it is to bring down a cult. Looks like someone wants to get in the documentary.  Amy should have just cut ties quietly and not posted anything on Twitter, just let her connection with WOACB fade away. I don't think Amy is evil but is immature and her need for attention causes her to make really bad choices (which she never learns from). 

[emmawoodhouse]

Yeah, I also thought of the feud with KJ. They are both acting like children, and they look stupid. 

[Ohiopirate02]

Someone needs to tell Amy that Twitter is not an airport.   No need to announce your departure. 

[Zella]

Amy can go cry a river as far as I'm concerned. She's the author of her own misfortune but wants to act like a martyr. Climb down off that cross, Amy!

What the heck?! How did we not hear about this before?! I can't believe no one dug up that Grandpa did time. And I'm totally not shocked that it was for fraud. As much as I can't stand Boob, maybe his criticisms of his father weren't totally unwarranted after all. Amy pretty much confirmed he wasn't a good guy.

I'm catching up so apologies for dragging up the past... post.  😉

There may be valid reasons that JB criticized his father.  Thinking, though, that fraud wasn't one of those reasons. I don't think Duggars are opposed to a little "creative accounting" or the odd financial shell game.  Jim Bob was probably disappointed in his father for getting caught. Not suggesting in any way that Jimmy Lee was otherwise a stand-up guy, just that the apple didn't fall that far from the tree

Yeah, she posted on IG the day she "quit" Twitter, so I figured that was off the table. She needs it for her business, which I suspect is about 90% mail order.

In May this thread will not include any Howlers. Tyler will be the only guy in this group. It'll basically be Amy, Tyler and the Lost Girls.

Thank you for calling them "Howlers"  Somehow on reddit people started refer to them as the "lost boys"  no no no, it was always "the howlers and the lost girls".   "Lost boys" is like nails ona chalkboard to me.

Feb 11th Jackson"s LLC purchased a 10 acre lot with an old moblie home on it for $35,000. weird shaped lot that looks like a Z.

2.5 miles from the TTH, down a side road by the landfill.

I’d imagine that’s what the inside of the TTH smells like so they probably don’t even notice!

[SMama]

I’m not an Amy apologist or fan. I do give her credit for the effort she puts in involving Daxie in activities, especially when they must stay indoors. She has a video on IG where Daxon slides on a plastic track, and knocks down plastic bowling pins. She transformed a shower into an indoor splash pad, played with noodles, brought snow to play in the kitchen sink, and I forget many others. Life is easier when you only have one child to entertain, but I think most Duggars would manage to ignore even an only child.

Huh.  Well he is just about courting age.  Gotta move the eventual child bride somewhere.  I guess.

That's the Howlers' compensation for their bit parts on 19 Kids and CO. Boob buys their first flip property and possibly building materials for their first flip.

You and me both. I no longer remember where I even came across the Duggars. It's been at least a decade. Yikes on a bike.

Not many of them left now. At least they won't have to parade in front of cameras anymore

I have to question whether this is a life's work. 

There are a limited number of "flip" properties in any community. That number might be high in NW Arkansas right now, but it's not infinite, and only one son has dared to venture even a few miles outside JB's area of control.

I also find it unlikely that the Duggars will develop any sort of reputation for high quality workmanship, and I can see them having increasing difficulty in off-loading properties going forward. They may all eventually end up selling used cars or something similar.

I don't think all of the Duggar properties are 'flip' properties. Many times they're holding onto to real estate until they can sell at a profit.

[ozziemom]

Anyone know what the status of that property a bunch of Duggars either owned or were building on? The Swanson (Dwayne?) guy was involved too. It might be a subdivision he was developing.

[crazy8s]

Jason, Josiah, and Jere certainly have moved beyond house flipping. Those 3 along with Austin and Dwain swanson have been snapping up properties like crazy in Bella Vista. They seem to be buying them cheap, anywhere from $2,000 to $12,000. A ll 5 of those guys have a contractors license and have been building houses on the lots which Joe has been selling for $350,000 to $450,000. 

the cheap lots seem to be purchased mostly from older people out of state or owner have passed away and relatives sell the lot. @Zella has mentioned Bella Vista is more a retirement area, so maybe people who thought they would build a house their change their minds and sell the lots or whatever.

JB funds the first flip, but then I think they guys are supposed to use that money to profit duggar enterprises as the whole.

In Jackson case, I am not sure what was on the lot worth flipping. I think the mobile home on it is really old.

I still don’t believe they’re all doing quality work. Are these general contractors’ licenses? I admit I don’t completely understand what those entail.

the licensing site doesn't actually say General Contractor, just Licensed Contractor. Dwain's is unlimited in bidding and is classified as - Building (commercial or Residential. The Duggar guys and Austin's have a bid cap of $750,000 and are listed as Classified - Light Building. (Commercial and Residential)

Considering he was television from birth to age 15?/16?, that's not a lot of money. 

(He is currently 17, but they haven't filmed the shows since before his 17th birthday.)

I guess it is pretty obvious who Amy is talking about. It was in her stories on IG.  She just can't stay out of it; wonder if something else happened to prompt this or if she just likes poking the bear every now and then. Sorry it is so large.

Who is she talking about? Josh? Jinger and Jill?

I am pretty sure, Jill.  She seemed to be JB's favorite daughter and she was pretty compliant. At her wedding JB was emotional (for him). He is the one who got Derick and Jill together, which did not work out as he planned. She is the only one ostracized.  JB does not like Jeremy but Michelle is still very close to Jinger  and JB may avoid them but she isn't banned.
