I just started listening to this and it's super good, thanks for the rec! Me too! The spanking/beating/abuse is unfathomable. Also, I didn't realize a lot of families don't get birth certificates and SSN for their kids, so they can't leave. yes and not being allowed to get a credit score either... like you are just absolutely trapped.

The podcast Some Place Under Neith is doing a deep dive into the church/cult the duggars belong to and it's enraging and really interesting. It goes into how it's teachings etc. can lead to people like Josh being...Josh. It's horrifying. I just started listening to this and it's super good, thanks for the rec! You're welcome! And yes to how horrifying some of their "parenting" practices are.

So many people criticize the women for not leaving, but if you don’t have a social or a credit score, or know how to get one or even what they are, how do you leave?

So many people criticize the women for not leaving, but if you don’t have a social or a credit score, or know how to get one or even what they are, how do you leave? Also, if you’ve never been exposed to the outside world, how do you even know that leaving as an option. Or that what is going on is wrong. I know that people give Anna a hard time, but she literally doesn’t have exposure or resources on the outside to help her. I could be mistaken, but there doesn’t seem to be any indication of the ability to know anything different. I know she had a brother who was quite vocal after the cheating scandal, but if you were told that he is a black sheep or he is a devil or something along those lines, you don’t trust him and don’t follow.

This made me do a double take and I had to SS it. I’m probably reading too much into it, but a Duggar not only following Biden, but liking a post?!?

I followed Jill just now to see and these are the likes under the POTUS’s post. It’s legit. Interesting.

I also just checked the verified account, and looked at the likes. Jill's insta wasn't listed. So maybe she liked it, then unliked it later? Maybe it's photoshopped? I'M SO CONFUSED.

Not unless I actually click on the profile, or one of the posts through the profile. I just scrolled my feed, and it’s also that way for Simone Biles and Savannah Guthrie, for example.

Hi 👋🏻 Well now I'm just annoyed. I wonder why it shows up on her following list, but not the POTUS followers list. I'm just gonna chalk this up to "Instagram is stupid".

Def not photoshopped—it’s the actual SS I took & marked up (and then cropped out other stuff) while scrolling my IG feed on my phone, lol.

Here’s another SS—I went directly to the POTUS account. Blue check, time, carrier, and battery % included. 😂

Maybe she has some security setting to not pop up as a follower in other’ lists? *I don’t even know if that’s possible!

The POTUS acct doesn’t change per president. Maybe she followed trump, it flipped to Biden and she never unfollowed?

Jessa had her baby. No word on the name. I’m pleased to see she finally smart enough to have a planned hospital birth this time around.
