The Lonely Js Club: James, Jackson & Johannah

[lianau]

Not sure Jana or JD want to get married . I think they are in the same boat as Josh in a way . They grew up in their parents conversion years before TLC showed up with money and outside influence (TV cameras will do that no matter how hard you try to avoid it ). While Josh went into one direction Jana and JD  went completely asexual as a result .

[RazzleberryPie]

I'm not ready to be all Poor Jana just yet. To me they're all immersed in a big tank of koolaid, and she is trying best to keep her head above water, while her sisters are turning the valve on full blast. I don't think she'll ever totall escape, but I want her to be able to jump on her own float. Jinger gives me slight hope again. I did think she was going to crack for a while. 

If I feel sorry for anybody it's the kids from the Howlers down to the Lost Girls. Jana is checked out. Sister Moms have fled. The guys don't buddy. Those younger kids are pretty much feral. 

[CarolMK]

Ugh to the idea of Joy courting so young! But didn't Jessa and Ben court for almost a year before they got engaged? And look at Josiah, their courtship ended and he was only 18 when he started courting Marjorie. Still, I have a feeling this is going to probably happen, a wedding again sometime next year. I swear, anything to keep the show going. Jim Bob must have had this all planned out with the network to announce now to guarantee them another season on the air.

At some point, it won't even be worth going over to the Duggar house if it's just Jana and all of her brothers living there, along with the little girls. Positively depressing. 

[RazzleberryPie]

Has Joy always had that speech impediment or is this a new babyfied Gothard voice?

[FakeJoshDuggar]

I'm not surprised at all. Joy seems to have taken her coping mechanisms from the older daughters: Get the hell out of Dodge; run for your life!

[Sew Sumi]

People's article (includes video linked above, but not much else). Still don't know the guy's last name.

Austin Forsyth. 

His family was featured on an episode of World's Strictest Parents. I'm watching it now.  

I had no idea that such a show existed, but that certainly doesn't inspire confidence. . . . 

[Sew Sumi]

Woah, small world! What channel?

Or a link? I tried searching on YouTube, but alas, my search was in vain.

So his name is Austin. And Joy has been wearing a Texas necklace. Any chance that's a little joke?

Check out Joy's necklace and where the heart is and where Austin, Texas is.

It was there all along!

When famewhore families collide.............how soon will he be moving to Tonitown?

My thoughts exactly. If I have anything nice to say, it's that Austin does seem to look at her with genuine affection, but I'd bet my house this courtship was arranged by Mr. Forsyth and KJB.

[saylubee]

Looks like Austin's dad owns Fort Rock Family Camp in NWA and has been friends with Jim Bob for years.  I think that's where the marriage retreat with Jim Bob/Michelle and Josh/Anna was that the Reddit guy went to.  We all thought it was weird at the time Joy was there... Guess we know why!

Joy is also featured on their website now.  Quick promotion guys!

Yeah, I figured it out the moment I heard his name. 

[FakeJoshDuggar]

I remember watching that show years ago. Gag me. What a joyless (pun not intended) life she is going to have...

[BitterApple]

Whoever said Austin looks like Chad Paine's less hotter younger brother was dead on.

[Sew Sumi]

We also now know when they started courting. Wasn't that retreat a couple of months ago?

[kokapetl]

How old is Mr Austin? 

He seems like a poor man's Ben.

I'm predicting a June wedding for Joy. They may already be engaged for all we know.

Kind of adds some fuel to his story being true (or at least part of it).

Also, if anyone is interested, there is a British version of World's Strictest Parents that has some episodes up on You Tube. Like most British versions of reality shows, it's way more entertaining.

I expect a NYE engagement, announcement the day they air the first episode of next season. That's the way they roll with their announcements. 

[RazzleberryPie]

Joy will be married while still a teenager. 

[drafan]

OMG I watched that clip of Austin's family.

That brother must've flown the coop by now. Nice foul mouth for a fundie kid.

The mother and father look like brother and sister.

I didn't get the feeling the parents were strict AT ALL. They were just mildly sprucing up their family camp and asking the kids to help.

Was the skinny (non-featured ) kid Austin?

Total bunch of hicks.

[FakeJoshDuggar]

I just watched some pitiful advertisement for Fort Rock Camp. It doesn't look like they're allowed access to internet, television, or cell phones. Such fun, much excitement.

Joy was the tomboy of the family. There seems to only be outdoor activities, so perhaps she'll be in her element? The poor child is way too young to be sold off, er, married. No doubt her new FiL sees dollar signs with people flocking to his establishment to meet a Duggar.

The World's Strictest Parents video said that the Forsyths only had two kids: Austin and a sister two years older.

Link doesn't work - takes me to you tube homepage with no video.

Eh - camp of any sort usually restricts technology. The point is being outdoors, so I can't get mad at that.

She is too young in years and in maturity level to be married. I'd seriously thing she was a sheltered 12 year old if I didn't know better, but that's the goal, right? Have these infant like women who are too immature think or do anything but obey a headship?

If someone told me that this was a single, blood-linked family, I would believe it. Every person looks like they are related to each and all of the others.

According to his instagram (which is followed by the Duggar one) he's an EMT firefighter and small business owner

He also tried running for South Township Constable and lost in last week's election.  He's a volunteer EMT/Firefighter for the St. Paul Volunteer Fire Department.

Scroll to the last section to read a small Q&A between Austin and the candidate he ultimately lost too.

[riverblue22]

I can see how Joy could enjoy working at a camp facility.  If she could just figure out how much more she could do in jeans and sneakers or boots, she could get back to her tomboy roots.

[lulu69]

Joy courting.....so sad. No other words.

[Churchhoney]

Aaaa. Joy's a giant KoolAid drinker. She was never going to do anything else. My only regret is that at her age she'll have time to squirt out a couple dozen baby idiots just like herself. Imagine the home schoolin' they'll get from Ma Joy. And you know her creep father-in-law sees dollar signs. And of course her creep father sees dollar signs. What a travesty these people are.

[abstractstuff]

Her shirt looks like a suicide vest. 

[awaken]

My first thought was, "but she hasn't  even lived yet!" She just graduated "high school" and said she had no plans but to help momma at home with this kids. Now courting, probably soon to be married with kids of her own. 

I can understand her desire, though, to leave home (even if it's a house on the compound), and have the  most exciting thing in their world happen to her. What else is there? 

He asked her to court up on that rock without Pops present, or was KJB just off camera?  

I find him oddly simian-looking, and agree, her speech impediment and jaw/tongue issue is distracting.

[Sew Sumi]

Dude with the beard in the Fort Rock picture is Bobby Ballinger. He was the one standing behind Joy in those paps pics in which JinJer left the reception in the Jag. Ironically, people thought he was Joy's new beau (going off the tabloid rumors that had recently surfaced). Turns out that he's going to be her future BIL. The Ballingers are also long-term friends of the Duggars. 

I'm also sure Austin's "small business" is a share of Fort Rock. He's essentially the heir apparent, and from their advertising, it doesn't look like he's going anywhere.

I do think she'd enjoy working at a camp facility. I just didn't see her as the get married early type. Type or not though, the show must go on and joy's number is up to contribute her part in keeping the gravy train rolling!

[MyPeopleAreNordic]

So.....what the heck is JB going to do once Joy is married off? What reason will he come up with to keep the show afloat? First babies? Once Jinger and Joy each have one, that's done (and it. will be relatively soon). No one really cares about second reality "star" babies like they do the first. 

The next sister won't be 18 until nearly seven more years. SEVEN more years. Those boys at home better find a way to get interesting or attach interesting women to court really quickly. 

Thanks for taking one for the team, Joy. Hope you get extra allowance from JB for it.

[MunichNark]

Oh fuck, it's too early for such news!

I'm utterly horrified. Joy is a mere baby. Urgggggggggggs.

So she'll be married off before she's 20, I assume, in order to pump out a gazillion kids. Who'd a thunk it'd be Joy?

No idea who these people are, not sure I can stomach watching videos.

Having said that, so what now? Is this really news? Who wants to watch this show, all they do is marrying off their girls, who will pump out baby after baby. All that is left now are a whole load of uneducated and, quite frankly, dim and unattractive kidult guys, some little girls who cannot be married off anytime soon and well, the parents. Does anyone really want to watch that?

Jeremy must've shown 'em how to put ugly watermarks in their photos and videos. 

This courtship will negate all the normal points that Jinge and Babe earnt the family. 

[flyingdi]

The show will go out with a bang.  The double courtship and wedding of Jana and some guy she met at Lowe's and John David and a  Wal-Mart cashier.  Mark my words, it'll happen.  Ratings will be higher than ever for the finale.

[RazzleberryPie]

After Joy, the "twist" will be marrying off a guy.  Probably Josiah. He seems the most attention seeking.

i hope Jana and JD both get to wait until the show is cancelled to court/marry, for their own privacy

Because his father is just as much of an evil, shameless, money-grubbing soulless grifter as her father? And what's better for your fundie website traffic than a courting Duggar for leghumpers to drool over?

[MunichNark]

I found the link to that TV show and scrolled through. Fucking hell, they are batshit crazy. Even worse than the Duggars, hell, they make them look liberal. WHAT is Joy thinking????? No doubt, her being an unpaid slave for their business is a plus. I'm aghast. I despair, I really do.

Jana and John David to me seem kind of asexual. They've borne the brunt of their parents educational methods and upbringing, ie, they were beaten to shite and remember the tiny house and lack of food. Small wonder they aren't hurrying into marriage.

Jana will now share a dorm with her small sisters, how dignified. Isn't it about time that she's given her own bloody room??

Joy is already engaged I believe, otherwise that photo would not make sense. She's already disappearing into her "new" family.

[Guest]

Joy couldn't even look her mother in the eyes during that whole video, she looked like she wanted her mom to shut up.

[Clemgo3165]

Joy looks like she CANNOT WAIT for he mother to drop dead in that video. 

[FakeJoshDuggar]

If you go to YouTube and search Fort Rock Camp, their video is the sixth one down (on my screen.)

Michelle has on an apron to give the illusion that she cooks now. Cue Joy's total embarrassment at being called "Joy Joy" in her courtship announcement. If the girl is young enough to be called "Joy Joy", she's too damn young to get married. Also, I've watched this shit show longer than I'd care to admit and I've never ever heard anyone call her such a nickname.
