Discussing the charges against Jana is fine, but do not post any information that reveals her address/contact information- even if said documents are public (i.e. a part of court proceedings.)

Discussing charges against Jana is NOT a jumping off point to speculate on other instances abuse/neglect etc towards the M-children or to elaborate on Josh's conviction and potential victims.

Maybe Jana needs her own thread as a token of the respect she’ll never garner as a single woman in Gothardland.

How about both hop in the plane close the door really quickly and fly off.  Abbie: "Where are we going?" JD: Cayman Islands. We're elope. And we're not coming back! Abbie: Wait we need

Wow, so this is what, the fourth guy to publicly release a statement denying involvement with Jana? That must be doing wonders for her self-esteem.  These guys are starting to piss me off, though

I’m surprised that the Duggars support LDS-connected businesses. Conservative Christians don’t always consider Mormons to be Christians. 

Well, they did support Catholic Rick don't ever Google his name Santorum in his presidential campaign,  so I can see them partnering with any company if it benefits them.  The Duggars are more concerned with the company's stance on social justice issues like marriage equality and limiting the rights of LGBTQ individuals than whether or not the company is run by completely like minded individuals.

True. And LDS did win over a lot of conservative Protestants who previously shunned them back in 2008 when they acted as the main engine to get Proposition 8 (gay marriage ban) passed in California. The Duggars are way devoted to that issue, as we know, so that could have been a turning point for them with Mormons, as it was for a lot of other people.

And a company named Called To Surf ? What kind of surf clothing can a Duggar wear ? Nothing that you can actually be in the surf with.

Wanna make a bet?  Mullet would most definitely surf in that dress (term used loosely)....and while wearing the boots. And film it for TLC , with JB drooling on the sidelines.

This looks like a 1960s ad for Maxwell House Coffee.....

And you can't convince me that "dress" isn't a Lanz of Salzburg summer nightgown (also circa 1960).

Or Summer's Eve

And it's true.

Not sure about the Great Salt Lake, but you can surf on lakes. People surf on the Great Lakes (of the Midwest). It's kind of a niche thing because the best time for surfing is in the fall and winter when it's cold which most people don't associate with surfing, but you can definitely surf the lakes (Lake Superior and Lake Michigan, particularly).

The fundies I know have a weird take on Mormons. Like, they like how wholesome they seem but do not respect their religion.

I found out last year I have some maternal ancestors who were Mormon pioneers, and I didn't even bother telling the fundies I worked with at the time. They already seemed to think I was a sinful mess and I figured the presumed guilt-by-association wouldn't go over well. 🙄

In fact, there's quite a bit of buzz about a homeschooling curriculum that is written by a Mormon. It gets a lot of good reviews and advertises itself as being non-denominational, but a lot of fundie homeschoolers I have heard really wrestle with their conscience over whether or not they should use it.

I homeschool and I'm SO SICK of that argument.  It's The Good and The Beautiful curriculum written by a Mormon and does not mention Mormonism or any religion really. 

It gets the Fundies into a FRENZY.  People are brawling over this curriculum and it's banned on some of my FB pages.  

Wonder if any Duggs are on my pages using fake names?

Yes, that's the one! I saw samples of it and thought it looked like a really solid curriculum, but people go absolutely crazy about it.

Honestly, in the Fundie world of expectations, Jana may be on to something by not getting married and staying at the TTH. The youngest child is Josie, so now all the kids are old enough to not need constant care and attention. It has appeared for a while now that the kids scrounge for meals and clothes on their own, and Ben seems to be doing the homefooling, so I don’t think Jana has all that many household/child rearing responsibilities. Any actual cleaning has probably been delegated to Hannie, and JimBob apparently gives Jana access to cars and money. So she can spend her days on her hobbies, like gardening, decorating, and event planning. She has a load of brothers to order around when she wants a project done and all the free time in the world. But if she married, she would be expected to immediately get pregnant, cook and clean, not have access to seemingly unlimited funds for her hobbies, and defer to her husband’s wishes. I think Jana calls all her own shots at the TTH and has it about as good as it can get for a fundie woman.

Why all the tacky signs though?

Crafts, Pinterest, Joanna Gaines, Hobby Lobby - you can't turn around in some regions without getting hit on the butt by a stupid sign. Stenciled on the wall, painted on a board, burned into wood, whatever. Flowing cursive, cutesy block lettering, or fancy font. 

And I mean stupid: "Home." "Joy." "Hope." And the really stupid stuff like, you know, labeling the wall with the purpose of the room. I swear, I have seen "kitchen" and "food" signs. 

One of these days, I swear, I'm gonna stencil "Turds" in a pretty flowing cursive in an attractive pastel - on the wall above the toilet. 

ETA: I actually have a stupid sign in the bathroom, but it's not sappy. My confession, with photographic evidence, is over in the Small Talk area.

You might want to patent-protect that idea as there's a market for everything it seems!  LOL

Whenever I see these photo's of the Duggar attempts to rebrand the compound into a "farm" .  I can't help but think it's purely out of Jana's boredom.  She'll be 30 next year.  I'm NOT saying she shouldn't be living with her parents at that age because my brother lived with my parents until his mid-thirties, simply out of convenience, he basically rented a room.  She can't go to college, her boyfriend choices are probably very limited.  There are no more babies living at the TTH to care for.  If anything she grew tired of the monotony that is JB Duggar's style and decided that with all that land, she could at least have a hobby so her brain doesn't turn to mush.

I'm partial to subversive cross-stitch.  This store sells a few gems that I would love to hang in my house one day.

I admit I'm a Hobby Lobby whore, and I was in there one day when I noticed a really cute antique-y sign that said "Laundry." I told my husband I wanted to get it to hang in our laundry room and he said "Do we really need that? Aren't the washing machines an indication of what goes on in there?." When did our society  become so obsessed with signs?

In the last photo is that one of the J boys holding a girl? Hmm didn’t Michelle say that after Josh, no boys were aloud to hold girls? I know this is Anna’s kid but I’m surprised she doesn’t have the same rule, not that, that stupid rule works.

You mean JimBob Duggar?  He's holding his granddaughter,  Meredith, I think.  I guess the no holding girls rule just pertaineth to the sons.

I fell for click bait! Don't fall for it! 

Some random male person appeared on Anna's Instagram. He looks somewhere between 13-21. 

But then the internet had an article love for Cinderjana at last! Fans are convinced  Jana's Prince Charming is on Anna's Instagram!

Then I clicked it and the guy looks really young, he's at the TTH and Jana is nowhere in sight! 

The Tabloids need to knock it off! Don't fall into the trap, because it encourages them to publish more nonsense.
