I'd say ten year older brother, but no he isn't aging well at all.

I think he looks okay. She needs to back off on the makeup/bronzer.

[BitterApple]

To me, JD looks better than he has in a while. He can't help his hairline, but the weight loss is flattering and he looks like he's toned up a bit.

[Marigold]

JD does look older than Jana but he look much, much better than we have seen him look in a long time. So, for him, I give him a gold star for weight loss!! Good job! 

The reality is: Josh is eating JD's food when they meet for lunch.  "hey, bro, you done with that?"  Chomp Chomp.  I bet poor JD tries to get out babysitting Josh as much as possible.

Damn. Free Joy. I can't imagine her as a fundie wife

Sorry. There's no hope. She will be a fundie wife.

[Arwen Evenstar]

Rats..I was hoping Tomboy Joy would get to be who she is.  No doubt she had to go to more than a few trips to JTTH.  So expected her to be the one who'd decide she wanted to wear pants...

Yeah, they're already pushing the business to make her a Fundy wife.

[GeeGolly]

Being a tomboy doesn't mean that Joy doesn't want the same things as her sisters as far as marriage. And its not like her sisters are the ultimate fundy wives. It appears that Jessa & Jill have only mastered the adoring stare and making babies, and can recite the occasion Bible verse. Both have been taught to cook by their husbands and neither are good housekeepers. However both continue to have the mindset that they should never dream beyond their helpmeet role.

Joy is unique in the fact that she spent a lot of her childhood playing with her brothers, spent her entire life on camera, had a sister mom who did nurture her a bit, probably was to young to think of Amy as an oddity in the beginning and was exposed to the world at an earlier age.

I do imagine that if Joy marries outside of the Gothard lair that she & her husband could become Fundy-lite. Maybe even like pants wearing Alyssa Bates.

It's Josiah's birthday

[louannems]

Oh Michelle!  Stop trying to stay relevant.  Do you need to say happy birthday to us, when the birthday boy is right there?!  I hate that.  All for their TV audience.  I hate the matchy shirts!

[BitterApple]

Lmfaooo, that was just awesome. Michelle is struggling to remember her lines while KJB is making a live Christian Mingle ad. Happy Birthday, indeed.

[Sew Sumi]

I've been avoiding this video all day, but I succumbed. WTF did I just watch? Mechelle trying to sing, and KJB definitely letting the ladiezzzzz know that Si is single and ready to mingle! 

I remember my 20 year old self. I would have been absolutely mortified to be standing in his shoes. Based on his body language, he pretty much agrees with me.

Boob wanted to let us all know that Josiah actually works and is learning/achieving great things! Another member of the "family business"!  He said Si is getting his pilot's license, and in the CO episode Si was working on his commercial driver's license. Those are actually useful things to have, but it's just so weird how they all have to work for KJB.

[Sew Sumi]

Well, they DO have two planes these days. JD can't be everywhere at once, and it effectively keeps another one under KJB's thumb. Basically for life.

wow, where do they keep the planes and who is maintaining them, making sure they're flight-worthy, etc? Their planes and buses seem like really big expenses. Do you know if JD is flying other people or goods for money? Is he making money as a pilot?

[JoanArc]

Do they even use the stink bus anymore? No one wants to see the entire family speak as a group anymore, and never will.

I like how they don't mention Si would've been married forces year, living in a mold house, with a kid of his own by now we're it not for the fact that Jim Bob and Michelle are major as chokes.

Is this an FU Marjorie ad by JB?

If he is, it would be illegal, I think. It doesn't appear that he has a commercial license, and you can't take paying jobs if you don't. When they fly "friends" (do they actually have any?) around, I expect some of the friends fork over some money. But I'd bet it goes to JB for fuel, airport fees, etc., and not to JD. I suppose in his shoes you might be grateful just to have the flying as your family job. At least he gets to see some airports in other places and probably sit ALONE at the airport at times while JB and companions go somewhere to be very Christian and conservative.

I wouldn't be surprised if they rent out the planes to other people at times, though. Lots of people who fly don't own their own. So they probably pay somebody to look after the planes and maybe do bring in some cash for upkeep by letting other people fly them for money. Back when people online were tracking the planes they fairly often went to places that Duggar-watchers couldn't "explain." And my bet is that fairly often it was somebody else flying to those places, just using a Duggar plane to do it.

Every time I see a picture of Si & Boob together,  all I can think of is the time when Boob almost pulled Si's arm of its socket.  Poor Si has to hold the Duggar record for visits to Alert.  (Except it did get him away from TTH).

Didn't Boob also push Si down or aside in a paint ball game?

[LittlePeas3]

Why is it, every time Dumb Bob speaks he sounds like he is trying to sell off his children?  Michelle's speech was so forced and rehearsed and still so pathetic.  Poor Josiah, he gets called Si because his parents were so foolish to call him Josiah after calling his older brother Joseph (not to mention calling his sisters Johannah and Josie...what fruitcakes!)  Sigh...

I wonder how Josiah going to explain give me a piece of his heart away to his ex-girlfriend.

[NewDigs]

What the wha...?

Is this an Alert exercise? Is that Si? Watch that shoulder!

Some of those b-day pix look like they're lining the birthday-boy up for a firing squad.

A shoulder pulled from a socket? Pushed down during a game? I bet Boob always wins at GoofyGolf but don't let him try to help you with your golf stroke.

Those poor kids. 

[GeeGolly]

I just listened to Si's birthday video. My headship knows I watch the show, but does not really know what a forum is, or that I talk daily about the Duggars with you all.

The fake Happy Birthday videos without the birthday boy/girl present are bad enough, but posting one like this is absolutely ridiculous. What kind of conversation precedes this?

Well Michelle Josiah is having a birthday, lets use this opportunity to promote ourselves and God laid it in my heart to make a video and post it online to show our devotion to our God fearing son.

[JoanArc]

Autocorrect! I meant Si would have been married for a year, with a baby by now, thanks to the assholes Jim Bob and Michelle.

Si mostly watches Michelle, but at one point, he glanced at JB and quickly diverted his eyes.  I wonder what their relationship is like.

Nope. Emotional connections also count. Here's an "explanation" from another of the deluded.

'Our heart is very valuable treasure that we must protect and guard…why? Well, because our life depends on it. Besides, why would God ever instruct us to guard something unimportant? (He doesn’t by the way) So when God instructs us to guard or to protect our hearts it must mean that our hearts must be very vital and it is.  Our hearts makes us who we are and it determines our lives.

'Proverbs 4:23 “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” That verse should say it all. Our hearts are more valuable than the next upcoming quiz, guy, or latest Twilight move. When we talk about emotional purity, we’re stating how to keep our emotions and hearts pure. As I have said earlier, purity is so much more than just abstinence  It’s a life living and a heart thing.

'As girls, we are gifted as being very emotional creatures that’s why Proverbs 4:23 should be like our anthem because we tend to give in to our emotions a lot. But we should be very careful about who we confine in and who we allow pieces of our heart to go to, besides no one should be allowed to that special part in your heart except God....

'We were made by God and so our bodies (and hearts) belong to Him as well. However, God gives us the choice on whether to .our hearts and affections to Him or not. But we still must remember that whatever we allow in our hearts can either purify, build, and strengthen us or it can harm us, bring us down, and leave our hearts in pieces. So whatever we allow entrance into our heart MATTERS…period. God knows that our hearts are valuable and so our hearts were made for Him because He would never harm that special part of us. It’s also another reason why nothing and no one can ever fulfill us the way God can because we were made for Him. You can always be sure that God never wants to harm us in anyway, that’s why it’s safe to say that we can confine our hearts to Him....'

 

https://becominghisgurl.wordpress.com/2012/11/06/guard-your-heart-emotional-purity/

So no significant hanging out with the opposite gender is permitted by many of these people. Period.

You gotta be a beagle on the roof aloof, as Snoopy would say.  .... Heck, even when you're courting --- and supposedly your heart is on the right path direct to marriage -- you're supposed to mainly hang out with masses of friends and family so that intimate conversations are avoided.

[RazzleberryPie]

Yeah watching porn (guys) and reading romance novels or watching romantic comedies (gals) can cause you to give away pieces of the heart. This includes Jane Austin as well as those Amish romance Christian novels and of course bodice ripping shades of grey books. I guess guys don't read and girls don't look at porn.

Poor Josiah!  His mother is singing to him like he's 3 and his father is not even talking to him just talking to the public about him.   Josiah says nothing, he's not even expected to.  How about - how does it feel to be 20 Josiah?  No longer a teen and what do you enjoy most now?  They just' ignore him and talk to the public about him in front of him after Michelle embarrasses him with a song for a 3 year old.  At the end Josiah gives a half hearted 'thank you' so JB doesn't beat him up.  Poor guy. It's Josiah's birthday, Michelle thinks he's still 3, JB lists some accomplishments (because he's not worth anything otherwise) and Josiah can't wait to get out of that house.

[BitterApple]

Poor Josiah. I've seen less fear from ISIS hostages in propaganda videos. KJB is really doing a number on those kids.

"Do you know the muffin man birthday boy, the muffin man birthday boy, the muffin man birthday boy..."  *michellegiggles*

Poor Siah.  Having to stand there in between his parents and listen to them treat him like a one year old child.  He handled it exactly like he was trainedto do ... humility and humbleness.  Whispering a quiet thank you to each of them as they spoke. 

I wonder what happen to his dreams of being an accountant.  I guess JBoob isn't in need of one.

What the heck is a "tender heart for God"? And Josiah preaches at the nursing home? That must be uplifting if he chooses the same kind of verses as Ben, etc. "You will be dead soon, so let's talk about how doomed and sinful you are. Hell is looming!"

Apparently I speak autocorrect because I just know that "as choke" = "asshole."

JoyAnna, Johanna, and Jana. And Anna. Josiah, Joseph (there's a Joseph?), and Josie. I still wonder why the boys mostly have obviously biblical names, but the girls don't (unless misspelled: Jordyn). To me, it makes the Duggar boys even more amorphous, if that is the word I want. 

I really cringe at these birthday announcements to the world. The most recent ones seem even more obviously designed to demonstrate that the parents actually know some individual traits of the kid. But they're still pretty generic since all the kids are being raised to be the same person. Same skills, same "servant's heart" or whatever. The Duggar checklist. 

I still want to know how they demonstrate having a servant's heart. Does it mean that they follow orders well? or that they serve Gid by yapping bible verses at defenseless (nursing home) or random (Internet) people? To me, it suggests someone like Jimmy Carter, providing genuine, specific service to people to people in need. I wonder if the Duggars ever do anything like that, especially without expecting the recipient to listen to "preaching."

This Josiah thing really is like a Christian mingle ad, with the added bonus of Mommy and Daddy giving the testimonials. Sheesh.
