I wonder if anything substantial or meaningful is said or she just simpers and accepts his gifts of expensive shoes and clothes, and hair suggestions. 1 2 Link to comment
Temperance September 7, 2020 Share September 7, 2020 You really see the old Gothard modesty standards. In the hospital picture, Jana has two shirts and the other girls have jumpers over blouses like a school uniform. What really strikes me are the collars. Both pictures they all have collars. They don't wear collared shirts or scarves all the time now. 4 Link to comment

The one who somehow looks genuinely happy is Jill... who now wears pants, drinks alcohol, and sends her son to public school. I’m still fascinated that the best soldier became the biggest rebel, although I understand that that’s a common phenomenon. 2 17 Link to comment

That photo is from that era since we know Joy was 5 when she was victimized by her brother. She looks to be just a few years older in that photo. So, yeah, I don't think they were happier, just better trained to pretend. 5 Link to comment
GeeGolly September 11, 2020 Share September 11, 2020 Most folks who suffer through a trauma aren't consumed by it every moment. Even many with PTSD, which I don't think any of the girls show symptoms of, can live happy productive lives. Acknowledgement and belief of the event is a large factor in healing. Whether we feel the molestations were handled properly or not, it seems the girls do. And we do know the events were acknowledged and believed. I'm guessing the Duggar girls were relatively happy kids, even with the events that happened and even within their skewed belief system. 3 10 Link to comment
floridamom September 12, 2020 Share September 12, 2020 Look at the texture of Jana's hair! How could she have had that mop back then and now sports 'Marcia Brady hair"? I think Jana has changed the most of the older girls...for the better. Clarifying to say that Jana has changed her appearance...sadly not her life...it's exactly the same now as it was back then....but she can drive. 2 Link to comment

Temperance September 12, 2020 Share September 12, 2020 Curls were all the rage in the fundie world for a long time. I was once on fundie site for teen fundie girls and there were ads for making your hair more curly. 2 1 Link to comment
GeeGolly September 27, 2020 Share September 27, 2020 What is it with Fundy guys and nail polish? Derick has painted Jill's toes, JD does full out mani/pedis and now Carlin's husband was painting his infant daughter's toes. And maybe Chad has done Erin's? I don't really think its creepy, but when you factor in Gothard's thing for feet, the creep-o-meter does ping a bit. 1 8 Link to comment

Better they have solid math and English skills than good handwriting. Edited September 29, 2020 by DangerousMinds 8 Link to comment

lookeyloo September 30, 2020 Share September 30, 2020 I’m fine with actual cursive. I heard someone in education a while back that said practicing cursive helped with some brain development and of course she could be off base because other languages don’t appear in cursive but some schools are going back to it. 2 3 Link to comment
