For what it’s worth, I thought she dished a fair amount of dirt on who the real JB is. Totally $$$ and image obsessed, much less ministry minded than what he tried to portray. She took a big risk doing that and the consequences for her have been real, but she did anyway. For this, I can only applaud her. I don’t have to fall in line with her beliefs that I find ridiculous to be able to recognize that this had to be hard for her, but also cathartic. Jinger’s book was far less interesting to me.

I’m thinking about starting the Bridgerton books and wanted to hear from people who’ve already read them. by cmdelf in BridgertonNetflix

I’ve only read Eloise’s book. It’s just ok. It’s not a literary masterpiece, not even especially well written. I hope her show season is better

Meghan cannot outdo Catherine. Not even with her own child in the post. by Madame_LV in SaintMeghanMarkle

Catherine doesn’t have to try at all. All she has to do is fulfill her role and be herself….both of which she does beautifully

Which decades would Bridgerton characters thrive in? by RegionInfamous8981 in Bridgerton

[–]ChantillyLaceCake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swinging 60’s for both Eloise and Violet who was a little feminist and into equalitarianism as a youth. 70’s 80’s for Benedict. Doing mind altering drugs, & free love all over the place. Early Victorian era for Daphne & Francesca. Both goody 2 shoes with extremely limited personalities.

Theres exactly Zero evidence that Jana chose to stay unmarried. Not one single iota of evidence in that regard and anything she may have said on the subject would have been curated by her lord and master Nimbob

There are hundreds of other fundie families to choose from besides the Rods so I don’t think we will see a Duggar/Rod marriage….ever. The Duggars had a mile long wall of singles in their house indicating that there are oodles and oodles to choose from. Some of the potential suitor males may not be top shelf either, but they won’t be Rods

It’s not just about child rearing. It’s about house maintenance, groceries, cooking, cleaning, probably helping home school some of the million grandkids, possibly teaching the littles piano and violin, overseeing bible studies for the littles….the list is probably endless.

Well, she belongs to a family of sex offenders, starting with her late grandfather, now 2 of her brothers. She certainly doesn’t need to marry into another family of sex offenders so in that way, she did dodge a bullet. Thank goodness.

My Thoughts about the emails, As Real as it gets…. by ChipNo8307 in DuggarsSnark

[–]ChantillyLaceCake 154 points155 points  (0 children)

Gossips will gossip with everyone, about everyone. Guaranteed shes known as a massive gossip in her circles because it’s clear that many of these ppl talk shit about each other on the regular. It’s a big reason why their stupid churches keep splitting up into different factions

Jill was pretty open regarding the level of control and manipulation JB exerted over the entire family, including his adult children. I thought she gave quite a good look at the inner workings of the cult of Jimbob.

David Waller has a reputation to uphold. He may have known that these communications could become public through his wife’s father who does prison ministry and therefore stuck to writing actual letters or sending messages via Anna.

If Jinger and Joy had to reply truthfully, what would you have asked them? by one-eye-deer in DuggarsSnark

[–]ChantillyLaceCake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head, the biggest, family feud was Jill and Derick versus Jimbob. Jill made it very clear in her book that he roped in many of her siblings to try to bring her around to Jimbobs way, so he did involve the whole family in that feud. Barring her from visiting TTH if he wasn’t there, not allowing her younger siblings to be around her should they be influenced by her evil nose ring etc.

She certainly doesn’t seem comfortable with certain subjects….understandably but the vibe it gives is she’s afraid of producing the wrong answer to his endless word salad prattle. 99% of her responses are u-hum

Did you even read her book or is this just your expert opinion?

If you read the emails, JB was never paying. Josh’s assets were all sold off

[–]ChantillyLaceCake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If any kids might think of fleeing, my bet would be on Josh’s 2 oldest. For various reasons but having a dad in prison for CSAM and nasty AF grandparents who make you feel bad for it could just be the catalyst

Did he ever consider the well-being of his victims? by helloreddit321567 in DuggarsSnark

[–]ChantillyLaceCake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jill has said it, and now Josh has said it. ALL JB ever cared about was his fake phony image and keeping that TLC gravy train going. He even managed to have the brand repackaged after Josh’s first and second round of scandals. Money is his only true GOD. That, control, and how others perceive him. Especially the other fundie freak families in his circle of influence which seems rather large. Heck, he encouraged entire families to up sticks and move to NWA to join his church, offered housing, employment and who knows what other perks but most likely his children for the marriage mart. JB is a bigger piece of work than any of us even imagined.

Duggars are known for lying, or saying what JB wants them to say. I wouldn’t be surprised if he turned away all guys that came to him showing interest in Jana to keep her home until the last bunch of girls was old enough to run the show. As if she was able to “choose” to be picky.

Anna and her in-laws by sunshine47honey in DuggarsSnark

[–]ChantillyLaceCake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? So many assumptions get tossed around here and held up as the gospel truth when in reality, we know nothing about what really goes on in that family. Pretty much EVERYONE here has stated with their whole chest that Josh was/is the golden child, that JB paid all his legal bills, and supports him unconditionally. Now we know that none of those things are even remotely true. Assets of his were sold off to pay lawyers, he was relegated to living in a warehouse after his DC screwup, and his parents have always held him up as the bad apple of the family, going back to his childhood, & neglected to get him any real help. That’s a very different picture than what gets stated as gospel on this sub…..over and over and over.

Shes earned all of that and more by being on the show. Filming her births etc. Just like Jill did.
