The Lonely Js Club: James, Jackson & Johannah

This will be a sad thread when Jana is the last Duggar who is unmarried. 

Jackson will join the lonely J’s this spring, and after that each of the Lost Girls. I think the largest gap between ALL of the kids is between Johannah and Jennifer (almost two full years), and the shortest gap between Jordyn and Josie (because Josie was born prematurely).

So who is left in the boys' dorm? Jackson and Tyler have it to themselves, unless some of the unknown male visitors are forced to bunk there.

James is still there. I'm guessing Jackson Bates is living there as well.

I wonder if Jana goes in and takes down bunks and redecorates or if JB & M want all the extra beds left in place.

[madpsych78]

I think Jason is 21 and will be 22 this year. I think he was born in 2000. James was born in 2001, Justin in 2002 and Jackson in 2004.

Thank you. I knew there had to be one more J boy.

Why does Jackson Bates live with them?

It hasn't been verified that he does, but he supposedly works for Jason, so it would make sense he was staying in AR, at least during the work week.

[GeeGolly]

So the Duggars have passed the halfway mark. Jana, Jason, James and soon to be Jackson are the unmarried adults. That leaves Tyler and the 4 Lost Girls. 11 married, 9 unmarried. 8 years from now, all of the Duggar 19, plus Tyler will be adults.

I wonder if Jana and Josie will be married before the Family Felon gets out of prison.

The likelihood is greater that Josie will be a legal adult by the time FF gets out of prison.

[auntieminem]

James posted a video he took at the Bates wedding event.  I keep seeing pictures of Jason by or near the woman in pink.  Wonder if he has a girlfriend.  JD and family + Jana are there. Joy & Austin, JB not sure if other Duggars are there.

Carver Bowers posted a story on Instagram of himself in Branson with Hannie, Jennifer and Jackson a few day ago at a concert of the Collingsworth family.

Is Carver Bowers the 20 something rumored in pre courtship with Hannie?

Also that Emily Ann Raynes that posted the pic from San Diego of herself with Jana, JB and James lists herself on instagram as a "Travel Nanny" so she was probably the babysitter for random Bates kids. Also, she lists she is the social media person for the Collingsworth family.

Why would a fundie name a child "Carver?"  The only Carver I'm familiar with is the nasty villain Carver Doone in Lorna Doone.

[Zella]

Mother's maiden name or a family surname maybe?

Carver is 20yrs old. The Bowers kids - Carolina Bontrager, Cassidy Bontrager, Charlie Bowers, Carver Bowers, Christian Bowers, Crockett Bowers, Chapman Bowers, Campbell Bowers, Crosby Bowers.  Crosby is female.

from the Bowers family blog, they are truly crazy fundies.

Fun Bowers fact: the Bowers sisters who married Bontrager brothers did so in a double wedding. They also had their firstborn babies something like a week apart.

I hope Hannie can steer far clear of Carver. He's a loon.

I think she turns 17 this year. Joy was seeing Austin at that age.

I’ve never heard of any of these people/families. If a  20-something is “courting” Hannie, that’s sickening and concerning.

Most of the awkward, odd names they come up with are cringeworthy. Either that or they try to be “trendy,” which is also cringeworthy in another way.

I am not sure there is any truth to it. but it seems a while back there was some speculation they were pre courting. But if we count speculation, Jana has been a courtin many, many times. So big grain of salt. but carver has been shown at the duggars quite a bit and with Hannie.

There's a four year age difference between Carver and Hannie. I think it's about the same age difference with Joy and Austin. Sadly, I don't see Boob shutting this down if there is something between the kids. The Bowerses are old family friends, much like the Forsyths.

Jana is an adult and Hannie still a child, so I view the speculation entirely differently.

[auntieminem]

I hope Hannie is not going to be marrying any time soon. Was Jinger her sister-mom? Has she been out to LA to visit them?  I was hoping she might and think she would like to live expand her world a bit more than family and cult camp friends.

I don't think the poor girl has much say in the matter.  That is not how this cult works.  Girls don't need to expand their world beyond headship and children.

Sad, but true. Jinger didn't get to "expand" her world until her headship approved it. Jinger apparently cried with Meech during her announcement that she was wearing pants. That says it all.

Everybody got confused by his name and thought he belonged with the Duggars. 

[auntieminem]

Jason posted a story he and fellow lonely Js, James, Jana went out to breakfast with Joy, Austin and their kids.  It is nice Joy is still hanging out with some of boys oh and Jana.

And on the Other Duggars thread, the reference to Howlers may need to be removed (unless we're counting J'Tyler...but even then he's just one person).

Maybe The Other Duggars: The Lost Girls, J'Tyler, and Amy

I would hope that Tyler isn't fair game for discussion, except perhaps in passing. He was not featured on the show as all the offspring of JB and Meech were. He's in the custody of JB and Meech because of sad circumstances of his mother and grandmother. While I hope he's been welcomed into the family and is being treated well, I'm not comfortable throwing him in with the Duggar kids as a topic for discussion here. This is a TV show forum, and he wasn't a featured person on the show, nor is he an adult with agency who associated with the Duggars or has a social media presence. 

ETA: I can't remember if he appeared on the show, but even if he did I still think his situation is different enough from the other kids to warrant leaving him out of this snark forum.

I'm sure the above isn't totally coherent, sorry.

Thank you for the reminder. 
 

I will update the titles on Monday. 

Regarding Tyler- edited to add: thank you to those who corrected me that Tyler was on the show, @deaja and I will discuss  

 

[Tdoc72]

You’re the mod so any rules you make I’ll abide by. But he was on the show.  I know I’ve seen his face several times. I don’t recall if they ever explained how it came to or if he was just there.

Happy birthday Jackson! Welcome to the Lonely J's. 

I wonder if he'll get a cake at ALERT. He "graduates" on Friday.

after "graduation" he will surely be fully trained for all disaster response situations, so I predict he will start gallivanting around with the mediccorps crowd now that he is 18

[Tasya]

I would think that Tyler is no different than any of the younger "J"s. If Josie and Jordyn and Jennifer can be discussed here, why not Tyler, who is older than all of them? Otherwise, I would think that the rules need to change to no overt criticism or discussion of anyone who wasn't an adult for the majority of the show.

I think the difference is that we might on occasion discuss them (for example ----- Duggar never seems to smile,) but we don't snark on them as we do their elders.

We can talk about Tyler in the Other Duggars thread. He's just not going to be included in the title.

I somehow think he will get more attention, and more of a celebration on his birthday at ALERT than he would at the TTH.

Nah, birthday's are a big deal for the Duggars, because, you know, Michelle risked her life 19 times to bring them into the world.

He would have at least gotten a chocolate mess. I don't think they would duplicate that at ALERT.

I'm sure you're right.

Jana can break out the special "Birthday Template" so that her "parents" can make a special loving and personalized post on SM on (or relatively close to) the special day. 

It looks like he's going to miss the opportunity to go out for a free sunday and a glass of water and a half hour of extra face time with his parents this year . . .

Michelle writes "Many ALERT graduates have gone on to become firemen, first responders, policemen, or have joined the military."  So why don't any Duggar graduates gone onto a fulltime job?
