Now even if that's the case the people of this type of belief system have a ton they can throw back. It's easy enough for them to point to the generation that graduated college from 2006-2012 and snark about debt and no jobs. What I don't get though is JB has to know he isn't young anymore. In 10-15 years he might want to back off from some of the day-to-day aspects of the business. One of those boys will be transitioned into running the business and they've hamstringed them all as far as we've seen in terms of education, and what roles they have them do with the business. JB seems to have made most of his money from TLC and property investments. Neither of those require a lot of day to day grind. They do have some properties they maintain and a house here or there that they rehab, but other than that, JB sits back and watches his investments grow. He's basically been semi-retired since TLC came along. I'm thinking maybe JD and Joe might have the wherewithal to understand property investment. But your right, if JB is keeping all the kids in the dark, they'll likely all struggle to some degree. I'm really curious with Josiah, although I think he might have a real estate license. But he doesn't seem to be very smart or motivated. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/68169-josiah-and-lauren-he-has-to-marry-somebody/page/75/#findComment-5465891

I think without the show/money/fame Josiah would’ve been one of the middle kids who deflected. He’s just “different”. Some have speculated that he’s gay (I don’t know it’s possible) but I don’t think his innate personality is cut out for this lifestyle. They would never let him go anywhere cause there would be a huge chance he wouldn’t come back! Something happened to Josiah. Extroverted, bubbly, talkative pre-teens don’t become quiet submissive adults without some sort of trauma/illness/depression. He was so vibrant as a young child and then they separated him from Joy-Anna and he lost his spark. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/68169-josiah-and-lauren-he-has-to-marry-somebody/page/75/#findComment-5466742

GeeGolly July 22, 2019 Share July 22, 2019 Because the Duggars raise kids ass backwards - treating kids as adults and adolescents as children, Josiah stood out. He let his natural (and normal) kid spirit shine. When he didn't 'mature on schedule' he was sent to alert. Now he is a true adult, behaving as he is expected to do. To make matters worse, he's married to a morose drama queen who will only reinforce the message that Josiah has received from JB & M; that his humor and fun loving nature is immature and silly. 1 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/68169-josiah-and-lauren-he-has-to-marry-somebody/page/75/#findComment-5467436

satrunrose July 22, 2019 Share July 22, 2019 I really don't know what to make of Josiah. In the very early days of However Many Kids and Counting, he was the main tween talking head and he was always doing the "our family does things a little bit differently" shtick, which earned him the nickname "Smugger Junior". Then there was the Josie, or was it Jubilee pregnancy announcement where he ran out of the room. Then, as far as I remember, he kind of went off the radar for a while but popped up with snappy duds, ambition and a big personality. It almost seemed like he was getting ready to make a break for it. Next Marjorie came on the scene and, while they were way too young, they both seemed to have energetic, theatrical personalities. Then Marjorie split and the next thing we know, we have Lauren and the transformation of Josiah into a dull, possibly unemployed Duggan-Boy-bot.

First, Lauren wanted to get married before she turned into a withered unmarried 20 year old, so I'm guessing an everyday Fundy male would have been fine if Josiah hadn't come around. Second, I think Lauren gains far more of what she's looking for in face-to-face daily interactions. She needs the facial expressions, she needs folks to show up and do things for her while she lays in bed. She needs folks to watch her carry-on as she 'struggles'.

I think that's very perceptive and I think one reason she's been so offensive in her social media posts is that she's frustrated because she's NOT getting that kind of personal attention from her new in-laws. The Duggars are lazy, selfish and self-absorbed and, except for the occasional "We can't wait to see what the Lord has planned for you" birthday post, they really don't give a crap about the daughters-in-law. This is probably especially true for Lauren because she's married to Josiah, who has never been one of his parents' favorites.

Well, unlike the other posters, Lauren is a Teevee stah now so like it or not, she is going to get attention, good or bad. She is going to be scrutinized more than other random strangers on the internet, and people are way more willing to tell a z list reality star that they are 'wrong'. If she really wants to express her condolences and NOT get bad attention, I am sure she has Joy's phone number However I think lauren loves the 'positive' attention so much that the negative doesn't bother her. She keeps directing her sympathetic comments back to herself despite all the negative feedback.

I'm not going to judge her for feeling sad about her miscarriage - but constantly referencing her own tragedy while talking about someone else's? Yeah, I'm judging that and if I knew her I would try to call her attention to it because it's just not cool in my book. "I know your dead mom and my dead mom are hanging out in heaven together." "When my mom died, those verses comforted me through my hard time too." OR "I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom. I know how much you loved her. I will pray for you. And if I can help you in any way through this painful time, please let me know." "What beautiful verses. I'm so happy they bring you comfort during this painful time." One approach ensures a person's tragedy also includes you. The other approach keeps the focus on the person while empathizing and offering support, WITHOUT making it about you.

I think that Lauren, like Anna, was given the "opportunity" to serve the Lord by marrying a sinner in need of her redemptive "help." I think that she's even more insufferably smug about her righteousness than Anna was -- and it's my understanding that her MIL and SIL's really disliked her when she and Josh married.

It's possible that the people who made these statements were just drawing a conclusion from the lack of apparent warmth between them. Having seen more of how the sisters interact among themselves and with J'chelle, it's entirely possible that this was just their normal level of faux warmth and Anna is no more or less liked than any of the sisters. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/68169-josiah-and-lauren-he-has-to-marry-somebody/page/75/#findComment-5514016
GeeGolly August 10, 2019 Share August 10, 2019 Anna did oddly call Michelle Mrs. Duggar in the beginning. Anna's non-verbals had me thinking she was waiting for Michelle to suggest calling her something else or Mrs. Duggar is what Michelle preferred. In later episodes she has called Michelle, Momma Duggar and Michelle. I believe she has always referred to JB as Pops. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/68169-josiah-and-lauren-he-has-to-marry-somebody/page/75/#findComment-5514901
queenanne August 10, 2019 Share August 10, 2019 Yeah, I can believe the part about a theoretical fake Facebook account. But plenty of the other things sound like they sourced them from here. Marjorie "using Josiah for fame" (lol)? Even in the fundie world, Marjorie's not famous. She's accomplished and clearly ambitious; but I don't think she's cutthroat ambitious in the manner of a Kardashian or something. I don't get the vibe off Marjorie that she wants to become, say, a fundie Martha Stewart or similar. Where would a Gothard/IBLP-raised homeschooler look to as a role model, in order to develop such a vibe? 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/68169-josiah-and-lauren-he-has-to-marry-somebody/page/75/#findComment-5515260

jcbrown August 11, 2019 Share August 11, 2019 She looks like a child. Because she is one, I suppose. If pregnancy is so hard, there are always options to prevent it, twit. She is pretty insufferable. 20 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/68169-josiah-and-lauren-he-has-to-marry-somebody/page/75/#findComment-5516263
Sew Sumi August 11, 2019 Share August 11, 2019 Too lazy to read comments. Did she elaborate regarding her difficult pregnancy?

Very self involved and sure that anything and everything that happens to her is far more traumatic and harder for her than anyone else' life experience. I can't wait for her to have the baby so we can hear about the horrors of her labor and delivery and how she bravely bore her suffering because Jesus.
