How in the actual fuck did she turn this into something about her?

“Hey Jing, I know you’re busy but I want you to know that I will be forking some publicity out of this too because I need all eyes to focus on me.”

I don't know what's more awkward between "It's so nice to be here with Nurie and her pregnant um.........stomach."

*Cacophony of I Knooooooows and Yaaaaaaassssses*

*Jill insisting on commenting about her pregnant daughters body in front of thousands of people yet again*

I have to wonder if they sound this sing-song-y normally or if it's a reaction to the camera being on them.

In my anthropological study of the Rodrigues family (watching their social media/youtube an embarrassing amount), the sing song-y voices are reserved for being videoed or speaking in public. When I listen to them talk to each other in the background of videos there's some high pitches but it's never on the level it is when Jill is filming them.

This was hard to watch

Via YouTube: Joy tested positive for two strains of MTHFR gene mutation

Joy now has to take shots, blood thinners and extra vitamins to prevent blood clots. She will also have to deliver early and is meeting with the high risk doctor next appointment. She is under the care of the doctor who delivered Annabell. Everything looked good on the scan (25th October) though.

Sex reveal will probably be in the new year as Austin is off on the Elk trip in Colorado and we’re approaching all the holidays. Joy had to go to the scan alone as Austin was watching the kids.

TW Stillbirth discussion

She said the doctor told her it may be the reason for the stillbirth (Joy’s words, not mine) of Annabell as she hadn’t been tested at that time. They will likely never know for sure though.

NB: yes I copied this from my Reddit post. Couldn’t be bothered to retype it.

So interesting to see how much Nurie was influenced by Jill vs. How normal Kaylee’s style is

People say this a lot but I disagree, whenever I think of the Rodrigues daughter with the most "memorable", Jill-esque fashion moments I always think of Kaylee lol. I mean they all have their Jill moments every now and then but I feel like Kaylee's were the most frequent

Maybe her wedding means she's growing out of it but I think her style has definitely been influence by Jill lol.

I feel like since Kaylee grew up directly in Nurie’s shadow, she probably has grown up with the mentality of needing to work extra hard for her moms attention and approval. Usually in siblings, this causes a child to 1) go all in as the rebel child or 2) go all in as the try-hard, parent mirror. I feel like Kaylee has gone the second route.

Jinger's New Book is About Her Journey Leaving The Cult (IBLP, etc.)

Today (November 7, 2022), Jinger (Duggar) Vuolo took to YouTube to officially announce her new book, "Becoming Free Indeed." She says the book is about "[her] journey disentangling faith from fear"—and it sounds pretty damn groundbreaking for a Duggar. (Yay, Jinger!)

Here's a full transcript, typed up by Duggar Data—

"This has been the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but I think it's the most important. I've written a book. It is called "Becoming Free Indeed," and it is my story—my journey of disentangling faith from fear.

I first had the idea to write this book back in 2017. Jeremy and I had just attended a conference in Big Sandy, Texas for an organization called Institute In Basic Life Principles. While there, I saw dozens of people I'd grown up with—friends who, like me, had come to Big Sandy every year to sit under the teachings from a man named Bill Gothard. But, for every old friend that I saw that week, there was one or two that I expected to see that wouldn't show up. In the coming months and years, I'd start to hear stories of those friends, and I'd find out that some of them no longer wanted anything to do with Christ or Christianity. They had rejected everything they'd been taught about God, the Bible, and the Christian faith. And, while that's not my story—I'm a Christian that loves Jesus, and wants to follow him—I have, like those friends, rejected much of the teaching I heard for many years. My faith is still intact, but it has changed. Instead of leaving the faith entirely, I've been disentangling it.

My new book, "Becoming Free Indeed," is that journey—my journey of discovery, of disentangling, my journey of faith. In it, I share stories from my life. Stories that nobody saw while the TV cameras were rolling. Stories of fear and uncertainty, but also of discovery and hope. I share these stories became I want to be an encouragement to any of you, who may be struggling to work through what you've been taught while still loving Jesus. Really, I wrote this book for any of you who are wanting to honestly examine your beliefs without abandoning God. If you've been hurt by the teachings of Bill Gothard, or any religious leader who claimed to speak for God but didn't, I wrote this for you.

When you grow up in a tight–knit community, where everyone believes the same things about everything, it can be hard to even consider the possibility that what you were taught may have been wrong. But, we all need to, even if it's hard. I wish that the teachers you leaned on when you were younger pointed you to Jesus. But, I know that's not always the case, and so I'm hopeful that my story can encourage you not to give up on God, to not abandon Jesus.

I know that many of you do not believe the same things that I do about God and the Bible. But, this book is an invitation into my life, so that you can see through the highs and lows, through the good and the difficult, and through the changes in what I believe and how I live. Jesus is my strength. He is worthy. I pray this book will help you to see why I follow him.

While this is not the first book I've written, it has been, by far, the most challenging. The process has been more emotionally exhausting than I thought it would be, and it's been tough because it's so personal. And, at times, I've wondered if I should even write it. But, I know it's necessary, and I'm thankful God has given me the strength to finish it.

I want you to know at the start of this book that it is not a tell–all about my family. This is a book about me, and my spiritual journey. It is the story of my faith, and how I've had to figure out what I believe and why I believe it. This is my personal theological memoir. Thanks for joining me as I tell my story."

I love that the title is a play on the “FreeJinger” website 😂

tossing my “pregnant” bet in. context of the story is she had a “health thing” and had to leave church early and had to direct lawson how to make dinner because she was too tired

I might be projecting a bit here but none of her posts seem happy lately. I hope she's alright.

I’ve barely been paying attention to them and I totally agree. She seems like she is trying so hard to be the happy, submissive housewife.

i just have a negative tolerance for people who vacation in places they do no research about beforehand like. hope your vacay is worth native hawai'ians not being able to shower when they want to!

That would require them to care about how their actions impact other people

I love Ethan and Olivia so much💀

Please! What are your suggestions! I stopped listening to Morbid and I don’t know what else is out there.

I've gotten so many true crime recommendations from other disillusioned listeners on the Morbid subreddit, I haven't got a chance to try them all but here are a few of the most highly recommended!:

Redhanded (I'm only one episode in and so far so good but a lot of people say it has similar vibes to early Morbid as far as the hosts. Plus they make talking about mental health and violent crime victims with respect a big priority which I appreciate).

Small Town Murder (I'm a few episodes in and really enjoying so far!!)

Sinisterhood (haven't started it yet but it's one of the ones people recommend the most frequently bc hosts have a similar vibe)

Voices for Justice (also haven't gotten to yet but it's hosted by a woman who lost a family member to a notorious murderer and everyone says that she has a unique perspective that brings a lot to the discussions).

Necronomipod (on my list)

True Crime Garage (on my list)

Anatomy of a Murder (on my list)

Idk if you like the paranormal stuff like I do, but I'm still on the lookout for a pod I really like in that genre. I do listen to Where Did the Road Go?, Last Podcast on the Left, and Strange Familiars for a paranormal fix every now and then (the first and last can get pretty woo woo but I like the hosts. And the hosts of Last Podcast can be waaaay too loud and immature for my taste but they all cover a lot of interesting subjects).

I absolutely despise Morbid. I’ve tried a few others but the only one that I’ve enjoyed is Murder With My Husband. I have fully fallen in love with that podcast, so so good. The whole concept is that the co-host Payton is telling her husband Garret true crime stories- he hates true crime so he’s coming into each story fully unaware of what is going to happen. They make a big deal about remembering victims and not honouring the killers (unlike Morbid where they were literally saying they have a crush on Charlie Mansion).

Is is the seagulls one??? The bad lip synching one??

Cause I regularly sing that to my husband lmao

oddly-fascinating-fundies

my husband and I always sing the seagulls one, we just listened to it with our kids the other night😂

Small, unimportant pet peeve: I can’t stand when they just say sis/sis-in-law without specifying which😂😂 Pretty positive she is talking about Whitney here but still, I like when it’s known!

Hello everybody on fundie tumblr!

I’ve been a lurker for… way too long. So as this fascination of mine doesn’t seem to go anywhere, I finally decided to make my own blog.

I started following the Duggars, but nowadays I mainly follow the bateses, the girl defined sisters and sometimes some other YouTubers if they don’t make me to angry (looking at you, Paul and Morgan). I’m looking forward to weight in on fundieblr!

If I’m not procrastinating on tumblr I’m a law student from Germany. I’m queer and my girlfriend’s probably on her limit of hearing about fundies - so here I am.

I’m just gonna tag some of my favourite blogs - I hope that’s fine with y’all - so I don’t just scream into the abyss :D I follow from sunflowersinwinter.

welcome to the club!

Welcome in to the chaos🙌🏼🥰

I'm high and Isaac Plath's replies have me rolling

No Amy, you're a piece of shit 🤷‍♀️ you claim to support the bodily autonomy of women including your cousins whose autonomy was violated at a young age (and who are still being controlled by their father), but you're too dumb to see how that sentiment also applies to adult women who you don't know. Human rights don't end at people you're related to.

Please use 1 brain cell for critical thinking!!! I'm begging you.

lawson filed another copyright claim against fundiefridays, the coward

go support fundie fridays if you can! lawson is still being an asshole and he has no legal backing to do this

This is making me want to sub to their patreon and I don’t even know who they are. Good job, Lawson.

jedidiahjunior

This is now a Lawson bates hate blog!!! Go to hell and google what a parody is fuckhead!!!!!

In other WTF news.......

The Caldwells seem to currently in a battle with the care facility in charge on of their grandparents??

Sounds like they broke the rules and got offended when they faced consequences. Doesn’t surprise me, Christina is a walnut.

if it’s just because christina’s mask slipped then why is paul’s down in the first pic? lie better.
