f*ck Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, they have so much to answer for

imagine treating your daughter, who was a victim of your disgusting abuser son, worse than said disgusting abuser son, just because she dares to call you out and has a nose ring

[icedsodapop]

I just wish that people realize that none of the Duggar kids are our friends. While they do deserve our compassion for the abuse they've been through (esp the daughters), and to be able to unlearn all that harmful Fundie Christian rhetoric that they have internalized in private, they are still bigots and absolutely do not deserve public platforms and continued speaking opportunities. For example, Jill and her husband Derrick have yet to address or apologise for his transphobic and homophobic tweets aimed towards trans public figure Jazz Jennings and gay couple Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent, and in her latest book Counting the Cost, Jill dismissed the controversies as her husband simply "speaking his mind on various and making a few enemies".

Something of my faves from Olivia Plath's latest Q&A

A Jill Duggar mention AND a Fundie Fridays cameo, I'm obsessed‼️

Jill crying and pointing to derick then he speaks is so sweet

He's still transphobic so I still don't like him but it's sweet how he followed her lead

Has anyone else read Counting the Cost? I’m only 10% into it but already kinda like ehhhh. I’ll probably stick with it but man. What a wild story.

Episode 8 - Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets (Part One)

This week I recap and talk about the Amazon docuseries Shiny Happy People, a docuseries that exposes the truth beneath the wholesome Americana surface of reality tv's favorite mega-family, The Duggars, and the radical organization behind them, The Institute in Basic Life Principles. As details of the family and their scandals unfold, we realize they're part of an insidious, much larger threat already in motion. Part One recaps Episode 1: Meet the Duggars and Episode 2: Growing Up Gothard.

fundie facebook is real weird

one post, talking about the documentary (!!!) has loads of comments talking about how they hate that the Dillards are taking part

people saying "I'm not gonna watch it" because they're involved

And I don't get it?

a) its not explicitly about the duggars, but about iblp - and you know who tends to have the best insight into a cult? the former members of that cult

b) there's other former members of iblp talking as well, so if the Dillards view doesn't match up with them, then it'll be quite clear

c) you do get that any journalist worth their salt is gonna cast as wide a net as possible? Of course, they would want to speak to one of the duggars

d) THE GROWTH. jill has shown an exceptional amount of growth over the past ten years.

This is jill around 10 years ago (2014)

Gearing up to release a Gothard-approved book, alongside her sisters, all about the IBLP way to live your life

For her to change so much that she's now actively speaking out against both IBLP and her family's involvement in it, why the hell would you not be interested in what she has to say?

[fundiefuntimes]

Finished. I have lots of thoughts. Mostly I am proud of Jill, this book took so much courage.

All I was doing was surviving from one breath to the next.

—Jill Duggar, Counting the Cost

[bookquotesfrombooks]

“It turns out that living with fearful thoughts is a lot like living with hornets and garter snakes. Once they find a way in, you can block as many holes as you like, but the struggle to keep them out will require constant vigilance. And when they do get in—which they will—the memory of all those previous attacks will make whatever you’re facing so much worse.”
