the males in this family are worthless

So I didn’t know Jill was publishing a book. All those losers on her page insulting her and telling her she should honour her parents and writing this book is not honouring God. Good lord. Jill and Derick are still devoted fundies but it’s never good enough.

Jim said Jim Bob flat-out admitted that they were using Kaeleigh as a "carrot" to try to correct Josh's abusive behaviour.

jfc...

I want to check this out but I'm gonna have to settle down from that Jared Fogle documentary first.

I have a pretty strong stomach for terrible information but that Jared doc when they played the audio of him saying that foul shit about little kids had me literally screaming outloud. Monster is too nice of a word for that demon.

I still need to finish the third episode but the audio in the second was so shocking. The gasp that escaped my mouth when he started asking about HER kids...

[reallyupthere]

Good luck with the last episode! I honestly don’t know how she could stomach to stay on the phone with him after he started asking about her children

a month ago, Bobye Holt and her son Samuel were awarded a 10-year protective order against Jim Holt. so he's a fucking hypocrite too.

MEANWHILE, gonna check if my sister has a Prime account. failing that, piracy.

definitely. i debated including that in the post, but kept it out for bobye and samuel's sake since they haven't talked about it publicly. it was really uncomfortable watching their joint interviews knowing that.

[new_peteland]

WHAT?! I did not know that

[progression]

I can’t watch anything about this family because I fucking despise JimBob and Michelle (to a lesser extent, but fuck her). I wish they never got the platform that they did through TLC (and elsewhere). I couldn’t even hate watch their shows.

Anyway, the fact that a “man” named JimBob had family friends named Jim and Bob(ye)…. I just can’t. *picks up purse and leaves*
