The Lonely Js Club: James, Jackson & Johannah

[GeeGolly]

Yea, Jana was gradual too. She wore knee length shorts while boating, long before her first pair of pants. Then shorter dresses, then sleeveless tops and pants. And now the Fundy version of a Daisy Duke outfit.

Trying to drum up interest for a TLC wedding special.

If she is engaged, I'll be pleased that one of them was finally able to get married without a big announcement and a televised wedding.

Except for the minor daughters still living at home, the old "rules" have flown.  

But I wonder what the new rules are:  

—skirts only til 18/legal adult

—skirts only until married 

—skirts only until some arbitrary age like 25/however old Jana was 

[Salacious Kitty]

I think Jana was more like 30 when she finally started wearing pants/shorts.

Jana posted another Youtube video, this one of her planning and assembling an above-ground pool, as well as repairing it after a storm destroyed it.  She's really got a creative and logical mind to figure things out.  Impressive. 

By the way, her tiny house video has over a million views.  At 72,000 subscribers, that must be a nice chunk of change for her.

It is obvious when she uploaded her tiny house tour. Her views skyrocketed, and that is how the money is made. I just hope what she does earn via social media is hers to keep and not used by JB as "house money".

How much money could this be?

I read that it could be $3-$5 per 1,000 views, but it varies depending on sponsorship/ads.  I noticed in the tiny house video, Jana has a link to the Amazon page of most of the items she talked about in the video.  Also, regarding ads, sometimes I get an ad before her videos and sometimes I don't.  So, to answer your question, I have no idea how much Jana could earn. 🫤🤷‍♂️

Yeah, I don’t trust that Jana is actually pocketing all of the money herself. I won’t give her more views, regardless.

I think JB is done messing with any kidults' finances. I think what Jana makes off SM is hers to keep.

At the Tator Tot house? (I'm not watching another one of her videos to check).

If the Duggars have a pool on their own property, where no outsiders will see them, do you think they wear normal bathing suits?

The alleged date is supposedly August 24 or thereabouts.  And I saw a second date of September something.  Your guess is as good as mine.

Imagine if she could have done something real with that.

Just think how cozy they would be in Jana's "tiny house" .  I mean she has her little farm, greenhouse and pool and within shouting distance to the big house.  I am sure her spouse will want to squeeze into her double bed and go potty a step away from the kitchen sink.  How could Jana leave all that?  😂  I sure hope they move far away from JB.

I do hope Jana gets far away from JB and Michelle but I think the lost girls are going to be lost without her.

Josie is what, 14 now?  She'll probably be married in 4 years or so.  I'm just glad Jana's getting away from having to raise the next generation, Anna's kids.

I'm also glad that Jana will no longer be the automatic go-to babysitter for all the married sisters.

I believe Stephen pastors a church in Nebraska. So if this is true, I expect Jana to be moving.

[Gemma Violet]

Pickles says he works for his dad's company and breeds dogs.  Maybe he's a part-time pastor.

Looking at their website, it looks to be a fairly substantial operation.  They do roofing, painting, excavation, sandblasting.  They seem to specialist in industrial sites.

It seems to be a hands-on type job; not the kind he could do remotely.  It also seems to be well-established with extensive facilities.  The website says the company is over 30 years old.

If nothing else, it seems like Jana's found herself a fundie man with a good job and steady income, unlike so many other fundie women.  Good luck to her.

I guess now that Ann's going to be available to continue homeschooling the remaining daughters, JB was ok with letting Jana fly the coop.

[Gemma Violet]

In a help-wanted ad on their FB site, it says that they "do not require any kind of previous construction experience."

I guess that's the fundy way.

 

[GeeGolly]

This is perfect for Jana. She can joined the family business! And she always wanted a husband who works with his hands.

[GeeGolly]

The NE corner of AR is about a 5 and 1/2 hour drive to the SE corner of NE.

Does anyone know where Stephen lives?

[3 is enough]

I have not really been keeping up with the Duggars, but if this is in fact true I am happy for Jana. She won’t be stuck looking after JB & Michelle when they get older, she gets the kind of husband she always said she wanted, and since she is already 34 she won’t have a gazillion kids.

The business is in Milford, NE which the Google says is 450 miles or so from Tontitown, AK.  6 and a half hours or so to drive.

Milford is indeed in SE Nebraska.

Many family-built businesses prefer to train their lower level employees so things are done the way they like them done.

Jill R needs to send her boys to work there.

 It feels inevitable that two siblings from one fundie family would marry two siblings from another. I'm surprised it hasn't happened before.

If this is true, I hope he is good to her.  I just finished reading "A Well-Trained Wife" by Tia Leving.  This life style has more going on than people know.  She mentioned the Duggars a few times.

Things happen.  My grandfather's sister-in law married my grandmother's brother-in-law after my great aunt and great uncle died.  They didn't have children together, so it didn't make the family tree too confusing.  It must be hard when the pool of eligible mates is so small.  I wonder if JB is still using the same questionnaire.

[ozziemom]

There was speculation years ago that Jana and Stephen were courting, there were a lot of pictures where they were in the vicinity of each other. But then Jer married Hannah, Stephen’s sister so I assumed Jana was just a chaperone. Now I’m thinking this is like a rom-com where they were attracted to each other but were afraid to commit. And neither found anyone else so they are finally getting together.

When you read how these groups treat women, you would hope it is fiction.  It really is almost unbelievable.  I hope Janna doesn't regret giving up her "good life".
