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.

How do these young Duggars even know how to get around on these massively long trips?  Going from country to country, researching historical, artistic and beautiful places to visit, coordinating trains, airplanes, buses, finding places to stay, etc., etc.  I just picture them dorking around lost and clueless until they stumble onto something worthy of posting on social media.  Instead, it's "we just skied in Switzerland and then we took a gondola ride in Venice and then had tea with Prince William in England and then we went grape-picking in Provence and after that we frolicked in a field of flowers on a hill in Austria."

I'm not saying they're stupid (mostly), but how does a sheltered country boy from Arkansas navigate the entire globe like he's the winning contestant on the Amazing Race?

Also, what is with these people thinking that anything and everything is something to be climbed and posed on?  The Rods do the same thing.  The world is not your personal playground, you idiots.

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

They're not sheltered country boys. I mean, they may be sheltered, but they don't live in the sticks. They live on the outskirts of one of the largest metro areas in Arkansas, alongside over half a million other people. As someone who actually does live in a rural part of the same state, it really irritates me when they act like "golly gee shucks I live in Mayberry." I know it's not the same as living in a huge city, but it's also not like they're living in a town where you can count all the stoplights on one hand and are guaranteed to run into people you know every time you're at Walmart and have a long drive to get to anything.

My apologies, I phrased that wrong.  I meant sheltered in how they were raised, not because they live in the country (which they clearly do not).  I remain amazed that they can navigate so many places with such ease, and am mostly jealous because they are going to so many places I want to go to.  These people travel so much, I wonder if they really appreciate it.  It doesn't seem like a luxury to them, more like just something to do because they have extra money and they feel like spending it.

I don't think it would dawn on any of the Duggarlings that travel is a luxury especially the ones who are single and JB still pays all of their bills.  They have disposable income from their various jobs and are choosing not to save for the future.  Though I do question if JB would want his sons to be saving for the future.  That would mean the boys were thinking of a life outside of his Umbrella of Control.

I definitely understand! I've also wondered about their travel. I have friends who travel a lot--and I live vicariously through them--but it involves a lot of saving and strategic planning. I can't see these jackasses having an itinerary or any intelligent planning on what they want to see and do abroad.

What we don't know though, is how much time they spent planning these trips. It seems to me they do do it themselves because they screw up often.

I can see one with a years old globe, another with a map on the bedroom wall and the other on Google. Acting all smart but planning so dumbly.

Choosing where they'll go with a dart. LMAO

It seems like the last trip to Italy Katie planned (Jed!'s wife) but they still didn't know they needed tickets for the big attractions.

Are travel agents a thing anymore? Maybe they have a sweet friend, who helps with logistics.

A while back James or Jason defending Jana "she is a world traveler" maybe Jana has a new role in the Duggar enterprise.

Jana has another story posted on IG. Just chirping bugs with a cloudy sky and pond. Makes me curious as to why she has started posting after being silent for so long.  Is this a distraction from something?  

I hope it's not buttering up the fan base for an MLM. I don't see her selling Plexus, but essential oils aren't out of the question.

I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. I look at instagram every day, but my last post was June of last year. I posted a story a couple of weeks ago, but before that, I can't remember. Maybe she's someone who just doesn't post much. 

If that's the case, I totally understand, but like man others, I like to lurk and see what people are up to. So I'm glad she's back :)

Jana used to post regularly, but not super often, but then she went 2+ years with no posts. So to me it feels a bit purposeful at this time. Although she may have just waited for the Josh stuff to fade more into the background.

I was thinking on Jana's two year social media pause. Wasn't she investigated for child neglect (probably not the right word, but weren't the cops called because one of the young children she was supposedly babysitting was found wandering along a road alone) a few years ago? And didn't she plead guilty to avoid a trial? Maybe she didn't post until her community service or whatever she agreed to was complete?

Or am I totally misremembering things?

You are correct.

That's what I was thinking. The story broke in December 2021, shortly after Josh's trial. [I am slightly embarrassed I remember the timeline so clearly. LOL] I think the trial spooked a lot of Duggars off social media, and for her, the added attention over her own legal issues was added incentive. I just looked at her social media. It seems like she posted periodically early in 2022 before stopping completely. That may have been when she realized the negative attention wasn't going to go away.

Looks like Rogers took a hit. Awful. https://weather.com/storms/severe/video/deadly-tornado-leaves-arkansas-town-unrecognizable

ETA: Other locations across NW Arkansas were also hit and there are widespread power outages in the area.

James posted a story of a Medic Corps helicopter flying over tornado damage in Rodgers Arkansas.  I assume he volunteers with them now.  I was curious if any of  Dugs or Dug adjacent were impacted by the tornadoes,  https://www.instagram.com/stories/jamesaduggar/

I think Josiah lives in Rogers. 

eta Take that back. They moved near the compound.
