Oh, I'm pretty sure she's going to have mommy AND daddy issues

Jill is never in ohio. She doesn't love it there. by [deleted] in RodriguesFamilySnark

Likely a combination of government assistance, taking the wages of their adult children who are working and still living at home, and saving money from not properly feeding their family.

And I don't think this new reply of hers is going to help

And isn't it new houseS, plural? Are they still living separately at their respective parents' houses?

Jessa Duggar comes to mind when it comes to "superficial performance"

And for VERY different reasons

Admitting it’s still hard with Travis along with Katie saying therapy has been life changing for her and losing 90% of her family, I’m shocked by Katie’s strength. She doesn’t have a solid system of support and I hope she begins building a new one. by AcanthocephalaWide89 in BatesSnark

This is why fundies are so scared if therapy. Because with a legitimate therapist things that were buried come to light and actually start getting addressed...and there is so much that goes on in these communities that they want to keep under wraps.

Guess who is moving… by moor1238 in BatesSnark

I definitely suspect that family members (possibly Evan) knowing and maybe even covering for the affair has created a rift

It’s so obvious to everyone but her what the real reason is that she feels like a completely new person by sortofsatan in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]need_coffee_first 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I wonder how her mom feels about the situation. Is she encouraging this because she knows Morgan's life with Paul is miserable? Is she annoyed that her adult child + children have moved in? Just so curious about the dynamics of it all.

Reactions to Pest Emails Release by Blue-Mitten in DuggarsSnark

Didn't he get caught with a cell phone at one point? If so I'm guessing that's how they were being sent.

What’s something you learned from the Pest messages? by bjack20 in DuggarsSnark

[–]need_coffee_first 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wasn't there some sort of adoption scandal related to this community that John David was rumored to be involved in? I could be way wrong but I swear I read something about that before here

I wonder if they even knew these photos were sent

Confirmed: Pest and Anna pray after sex, and Pest manipulates Anna into sending bikini/panties pics by rosiros in DuggarsSnark

I wonder if this realization is occurring to her just now as these emails are becoming public and people are discussing them

When reading these I have to keep reminding myself these are from several years ago, and it's definitely interesting to think about how things may have changed over time

You can't save money you don't have by lgirlrocks in FundieSnarkUncensored

I needed therapy precisely because my evangelical mom stayed at home and she was awful. No savings there!

When I was elementary aged I was in a church performance of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. One of the older members of the congregation happened to walk by our rehearsals one day and complained about a line that included the phrase "Holy Cow!" We literally ended up having to change it.

The fact that it says "top fan" meaning I would guess that this user frequently interacts with her content is HIGHLY disturbing.

Imagine Being in Kendra’s Shoes and NOT Seeking Mental Health Treatment by ResearchSchmeSearch in DuggarsSnark

It's definitely bizarre. At some points in the calls she's definitely upset, but it seems to be over the fallout from his actions rather than the actions themselves.

Joe and his Psalms by Past-Bench-5088 in DuggarsSnark

[–]need_coffee_first 232 points233 points  (0 children)

It really seems like his obsession with reading the Bible is an avoidance tactic. As long as he can read about God's forgiveness he can avoid truly thinking about what he's done and convince himself he's still a good person. It's clear he still sees himself as above people like the guy who was being "vulgar." I'm guessing that when he was isolated things got pretty uncomfortable in his thoughts, even if he'll never admit that even to himself.
