One poster on a blog referred to JD as "Slingblade". I never made that association before, but now it's stuck. Poor lad is so homely; it really is a shame. He's not even allowed to release because he can't get any privacy.

BitterApple · January 16, 2017

JD strikes me as a 'dabbler'. He does a little of this and a little of that, but doesn't actually have a place of business where he shows up every morning and works an eight hour shift. IIRC, the Constable position is unpaid.

Six adult children and only JD has a real job? Jana's job is to look after all the little ones, but they're to an age where they don't really need a lot of attention. I guess if the little ones have jurisdictions, Jana is their gatekeeper. But, beyond that, what do these kidults do all day? They don't read, watch tv, or play games on the computer, let alone anything that costs money like camping, fishing, boating, or skiing. Being a Duggar has got to be the most boring existence in America.

Here is my guess:

Jana still has to delegate the laundry, meals and schedules of JD, Joe, Josiah, Jedidiah, Jeremiah, Joy, Jason, Justin. The lost girls probably spend their time with those chores (sans Josie) delegated to them, as well as entertaining 'guests' such as Dullards and Seewalds. It's a busy house even if the menfolk are at work.

The adult men and the older boys seem to keep the family business afloat with renovations/real-estate/rentals, flying, mechanics and car sales. It wouldn't surprise me to find they make a good living hiring out the heavy equipment/operators to local businesses that need things dug up, pushed around or buried< that excavation business alone can build a reputation and support more than just JD IF they are busy.

JB was able to build this business with very little /no debt. From his early years in real-estate, JB may have former connections that still help him purchase real estate at discount prices. IF you have cash in hand, you can pounce on this type of deal. Now imagine if you had the machinery and labour available that JB has, no debt. He certainly can build a good business that can keep 19 MEN employed (remember the wimins are home having babies). A 25 employee business is NOT a stretch. If the show is cancelled they can rely on their business to keep them comfortable, but they may have to pull back on the luxuries they have been enjoying.

I don't believe Bin helps much in the business anymore, and I don't think Derelict ever did. JB may be building a mission/ministry for the sons-in-law.

Jana and JD are probably busy.

JD is probably the most useful of the Duggar brothers wrt to being skilled at a good many things. He could surely train to be a certified fork lift and other heavy machinery operations. Those jobs pay fairly well.

Honestly, though, JD could very easily work a job for a local employer and still have time to help out at home. He appears painfully shy and won't stand up to Boob...he's a grown ass 27 year old man.

GeeGolly · January 16, 2017

Actually Jana was bypassed once again. Michelle and Joy were filmed talking about Joy being the one doling out the chores. I believe they called her job title the Organizer.

To his credit it appears that JD is the only Duggar that actually volunteers in a way that benefits the general community and not just the Duggars' small group of like minded friends or missions and all their variations.

Sew Sumi · January 17, 2017

JD is officially elected now. I think he was just in a volunteer cop position before this; I remember him losing an election for this post in the past. We don't have Constables here. Why is it elected by party? Our law enforcement officers should be non-partisan, IMO.

True, but he is only allowed to do so because daddy and Gothard approved certain careers and volunteering in order to spread their hidden message. And after watching the one embarrassing episode where JB and Michelle were trying to portray JD as a major catch, he certainly made a mockery of law enforcement officers by playing the Duggar version of Barney Fife. Makes me wonder how desperate the voters are where he lives to elect him into any form of law enforcement field, and how desperate they are for law enforcement officers they would want someone like JD to be attempting to serve and protect. Plus the fact his sisters were going with him on fire department calls for awhile to make sure he was not tempted by a heathen female. Makes me more proud, grateful, and respectful for the law enforcement and emergency personnel where I live instead of having a Duggar to call in case of an emergency.

You would think...same thing with judges and school board, who should be impartial, but where I live party is declared. Even if we had an election for dog catcher, they would have to declare a party, too.

i only hope that Boob isn't pushing JD to run an expensive campaign for anything. Joshley crapped in his own mess kit wrt a political career, so maybe Boob is looking to JD now for a political career.

Constables are the para-cops that are used to throw renters or people that have defaulted out of properties the occupy. Yeah, his job was mostly pretending to be a cop then loving throwing needy people out on their asses from daddies rental homes. He never left tge like minded bubble. Not sure about this new position though,

GeeGolly · January 17, 2017

We don't have Constables in my area either. I think many voters feel the need to vote on everything on the ballot and many vote by name recognition and/or party affiliation. I guessing name recognition might be at least part of the reason JD was voted in.

Yes and no. He lost the last bid for election for this office, so he was a volunteer rent-a-cop until whenever he was sworn in. I'm pretty sure that this is the first time he's been in elected office.

JD probably would have a real job/career in construction or aviation if he were allowed to do so. The fact that he appears to have hobbies at all shows that he, at some point, expressed an interest and then pursued that interest. Unfortunately, whether out of loyalty, brainwashing, or simply fear of JB, poor JD is stuck being a dabbler. But I do think it is a JB/upbringing issue, because if JD were the typical lazy Duggar he wouldn't have bothered to find things to fill his time.

bigskygirl · January 17, 2017

The problem, in my opinion, is the fact he had to get permission from JB to have any interests, and JB is paying for the planes and telling him who he can fly around and work with. He is twenty seven years old. He should be able to tell his parents and Gothard to go take a flying leap at a rolling donut when it comes to what he can or cannot do. I cannot understand how a young man who is controlled by his father can go out and be a law enforcement officer because daddy says it is okay. I cannot stand JD, but I do feel sorry for him because of it. Makes me wonder if daddy has some influence in him winning the election to be a constable.

I agree. I also wonder how much Josh's failings have affected him-if he feels like he has to work harder and be the ideal hardworking son to replace Josh. Therapists would have a field day with that family.

Now THAT I would totally watch...we'd all really love to know what really goes on in that house. I would imagine we wouldn't get to see much due to it being hard on the kids to emote and talk about things. We've already heard about some of the boys being punished for touching themselves..just hope someone writes a tell all and they don't wait until their parents have shuffled off their mortal coil.

I am a therapist and working with any of them would be very interesting, challenging and heartbreaking. Depending on why they're seeking therapy and where they are within the family dynamic they would probably initially have a hard time knowing what feelings are their own and what feelings are their parents. And they would have to get past speaking poorly of their parents to another person, because it's one thing to think something and a whole other thing to say it out loud and let in hang in the air. No putting the genie back in the bottle. It would also be challenging because they really have no clue to how the rest of the world works so normal comparisons or reality checks, so to speak, are almost no existent. And throughout it all they likely would be struggling with "maybe my parents are right", "Jesus", "the devil".

Out of the lonely Js I would hazard to guess that Josiah would be the easiest one to work with.

I think Jessa would be the most difficult.

Sew Sumi · January 20, 2017

Jessa went on about what a godly young man he'd become, and tried to convince the audience that they (and Jinger) were super close as kids "climbing trees, racing cars in the house," etc. Yes, Jessa, I really believe that you and Jinger were tree climbers in those frumpers and Little House bloomers you used to wear. Riiiiight.

Not necessarily only a Fundy thing, but more prevalent among Fundy groups.

The word "godly" is meant to describe a person who aspires to goodness, kindness, virtuosity. It's a compliment of the highest order, but Fundyland has managed to "nause" it up with a nauseous super "nause". It's so overused that it almost sounds contrived.

You are such a diligent worker! When you are asked to do a job, you'll get it done without complaint and you often return to see what else there is that you can do to help!

We are grateful for your love for others and your leadership qualities as you encourage and disciple other young guys to take their relationship with God seriously.

Cake is way too much effort to serve to 30+ people...better to buy cheap ice cream and give everyone a scoop. Jim Boob has worn out his welcome expecting others to serve his brood and not get a tip and has basically ruined the "kids eat free" for everyone, so now only one child and one drippy sundae. They all seem to look alike. Maybe Boob bought one as a prop...that sounds just like him...
