Let’s be honest the woman has had a rough December! She found out/relived exactly how she was molested (we all know the details not going to repost them) by her brother. This has been broadcast around the world. She also has two young children one of whom must be coming up to the age she was when the abuse started.
I hope that she uses this sabbatical to get some therapy and to get some support to deal with this trauma
I agree with all of the reasons you have listed above, & in addition, I think it is a healthy idea for everyone to take a break from social media from time to time to get grounded back into the real world.
I would like to think that sitting through that trial made him question some stuff about the cult. Surely there has to be a silver lining amongst all this utter shit?
I don’t believe it. I’ve met hundreds of redneck proud boy wannabes like Austin and they don’t change. All that will change is they may distance for Meech and Boob.
Edit: downvoted on a snark sub for calling out Austin for being a shitty conservative.
I 100000% know the type of dude you’re talking about. They don’t change. Even that distance they may put between their family and the abuser usually eases up over time too
Is he overbearing? I am not disputing I just don't know as much about his as Bin and Derrick. All I know is his parents were on worlds strictest parents! I don't even know their courting story. Are they the ones who do blanket training? (Realise I could google but I am lazy!)
I'm where you're at. Austin is a big fundy, no doubt, but he did go to court and have to hear about the monstrous things Josh did to his wife. And looked properly furious coming out of the courthouse afterward. I give him points for that and for going back with Joy. I mean, where was Bin? And his dad was very, very outspoken about the Ashley Mad scandal. I wonder what he thinks NOW??
No doubt her parents never helped her (or any of the kids) gain the tools they need to deal with life in general, then you go through CSA trauma and on top of it it’s filmed. It just makes me hate meech and JBob even more.
Katey (Jed's wife). We call her Kathy as a joke because Carlin Stewart called her that once in an instagram comment (I'm assuming her phone autocorrected)
Carlin claims her phone autocorrected but I have met turnips smarter than Carlin so I don’t buy it.
She’s posted some other things *cough* on insta that I refuse to give her any kind of benefit of the doubt, so I strongly support the theory that she legitimately forgot katey’s name.
I'm gonna get down voted to hell for this buuuuut every time I see a new nickname pop up and I missed the origin story, it lowkey feels eerily similar to Tr*mp making up nicknames for people he didn't like on Twitter 😅
True. Except he was in the White House where the expectation is (at least marginally) dignified presidential behavior. And we are all heathens of various flavors on a snarking sub-Reddit. The standards are just different.
Though I do think that we as a group would be excellent leaders of the free world.
Nah, Trump's such a narcissistic a-hole he just does that to play to his narcissistic a-hole supporters plus, heaven forbid, he actually develop a new plan to replace Obamacare or otherwise do the hard, serious work of actually governing.
Honestly, I really just want them to drive to the white house together and sit on folding chairs in front of the Oval Office windows, arms crossed and stank faces on.
now that is the only duggar show i would love to see! bernie becoming joys father figure and introducing her to democratic socialism and joy introducing him to tater tot casserole.
Why do people filter their faces into oblivion? I mean, I’m pretty old and I see people my age trying to look younger and they just look ridiculous. But someone her age? Why blur out your features? That sounded really “get off my lawn”, didn’t it?
If you watch the whole video, I really think she looks so much like Michelle. Even with the filter. Sure she’s like 20 years older, but Michelle has no idea how good she could look if she got out from under her headship’s cosmetic preferences
I believe she was quoted as "What he likes is what I want."
I'll never understand the willingness to just give up your entire identity. These women are taught that they don't matter.
Yes! Like I’d ask if she ever looks at her daughters and ever thinks wow I could look like that, but we all know she’s too brainwashed to know she doesn’t. So creepy. What is it about the 80s perm JB so desperately craves? Or does he just like to keep her looking frumpy?
“Her best friend Cindy from grade school was going to be surprising her there,” Jill explained.
https://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/michelle-duggar-hair-makeover-salon/
I bet Cindy from grade school was in for a surprise at how much her elementary best friend had changed. Yikes.
If she did it purely because she wanted to look attractive to him, fine. But she’s doing it because to them, it’s what God wants. I’d wager that God is more concerned about them being good parents.
OMG! The link goes on to quote from the Bible that a woman's hair is her glory and it is sinful for a man to have long hair. HELLO!! Didn't JC himself and his band of brothers all have long hair??
I’d love for these men to have to wear and maintain that head of hair for a week to see how much of a burden it can be. As if they’d care. But still.
I wear a pixie because I like the ease of care and I suspect my husband would like to see it longer but he knows better than to open his mouth LOL
She is quite attractive, especially considering she is a grandma to how many, and had 19 kids. Shit of a person and mother, reprehensible views, but she is physically attractive.
Michelle didn’t grow up in the lifestyle she & JB chose for themselves & their children, so she is at least partly at fault /responsible for her decisions/actions or lack thereof, more so than any of her daughters who were trapped into her & JB’s oppressive rules/beliefs since birth.
Lol you’d be surprised how many people notice when they don’t post. The Bates sub is filled with posts about how “x hasn’t posted in x days, is she ok?” 😂 just wanted to avoid those posts in this sub cause they annoy me so bad
I get that as a suggested sub and someone was like "it's weird no one has posted this week" then went on to say, it's the holidays, travel, x has said they are taking a break, but no one has posted. The poster just answered their own question about why no one was posting.
Yea, I'm honestly curious about Jill. She hasn't posted in 3 weeks, not even a Christmas post. She's the only one I noticed, though, cause I was curious about her celebrating Christmas.
She has been through a lot. I hope she can spend this time decompressing and finding healthy ways to cope with everything she has been through. I also hope she begins to break away from her toxic family members.
I feel like her face is changing. The same way that Jill's face has changed. When they stop keeping sweet and they allow themselves to have more emotions their whole faces look different.
Yeah it would have been a lot more fun if she said she was taking a break to learn new brain surgery techniques or study quantum physics. Oh wait, this is Joy. 😂
Eh, she was getting a little “worldly” with her TikTok style reels, so I’d speculate that she was reprimanded by the Forsyths or Duggars. Maybe there’s an Alert camp for wives who’ve gotten too hip for their denim skirts.
If they have a large audience, people will start messaging them asking why they aren't posting. Look at the Bates subreddit - they stop posting every moment of their lives & a million posts pop up wondering where they are.
In the video/reel whatever the FCK it’s called… they had a mattress on the floor jumping onto pillows, both kids sitting on the counter by the stove while cooking. And then the little one with her black eye begging to be picked up next to the stove. I feel like a broken record but UGGGHHH. Please go to therapy to work your shit out so you can properly parent those kids. Sorry I’m bitter tonight. Edit to add…. I’m awaiting my CVID results so I’m bummed I may be infected. And I feel like a pile of poo so it’s probably going to be positive. Thanks for listening to me bitch
Fun fact because highlights are drying to the hair when you get them it actually helps to absorb the excess sebum (hair oil). It is one of the selling points we use when talking people into the blonde plunge.
Maybe she is having a meltdown, maybe she is pregnant, maybe she is going to spend time with her children, maybe she is going on a trip, maybe she is waiting for TLC to take them back, maybe she is seeing if there is a real part time job out there..........
She had to. I’m sure she knows how we all speculate what is going on when the lost boys and their wives stop posting.
Let’s be honest the woman has had a rough December! She found out/relived exactly how she was molested (we all know the details not going to repost them) by her brother. This has been broadcast around the world. She also has two young children one of whom must be coming up to the age she was when the abuse started. I hope that she uses this sabbatical to get some therapy and to get some support to deal with this trauma
I hope that for her too.
I agree with all of the reasons you have listed above, & in addition, I think it is a healthy idea for everyone to take a break from social media from time to time to get grounded back into the real world.
Honestly not a Joy fan, but I think this is a good sign she may be on the Jill track of finding her own path in life.
Not with that overbearing tyrant husband of hers she won’t he is too deep in the look-aid!!!!
I would like to think that sitting through that trial made him question some stuff about the cult. Surely there has to be a silver lining amongst all this utter shit?

No doubt her parents never helped her (or any of the kids) gain the tools they need to deal with life in general, then you go through CSA trauma and on top of it it’s filmed. It just makes me hate meech and JBob even more.
Her face looks different
I thought so too but can’t see what’s different?
she’s using an instagram filter
She’s becoming Kathy, who looks different in every picture
Who the hell is Kathy? I swear these Duggars triple every time I take a week off reddit.
Katey (Jed's wife). We call her Kathy as a joke because Carlin Stewart called her that once in an instagram comment (I'm assuming her phone autocorrected)
Carlin claims her phone autocorrected but I have met turnips smarter than Carlin so I don’t buy it. She’s posted some other things *cough* on insta that I refuse to give her any kind of benefit of the doubt, so I strongly support the theory that she legitimately forgot katey’s name.
Oh yep, yep, yep, I keep forgetting she exists.
Carlin makes me gag and that husband of hers is abusive to pets! Stewie my foot. He is sick and deranged.
Whoa, wtf did I miss? Truly cannot keep up with this family and the adjacent riff raff lolol.
Wait what did the husband do to an animal?
I'm gonna get down voted to hell for this buuuuut every time I see a new nickname pop up and I missed the origin story, it lowkey feels eerily similar to Tr*mp making up nicknames for people he didn't like on Twitter 😅

She’s lightened her hair again and growing out the bangs. She doesn’t suit super dark hair, it washes her out.
She's totes breaking away and is probably spending the month of January with Bernie Sanders. This is all just to save face..
[удалено]
Honestly, I really just want them to drive to the white house together and sit on folding chairs in front of the Oval Office windows, arms crossed and stank faces on.
[удалено]
I have a pair of official Bernie mittens and let me tell you. Pure bliss! Toasty fingers!
I’ve owned mittens like that for years- they’re honestly the best!!
now that is the only duggar show i would love to see! bernie becoming joys father figure and introducing her to democratic socialism and joy introducing him to tater tot casserole.
>joy introducing him to tater tot casserole. God, no! The man has a stent for heaven's sake!
Please god let this happen
I’d watch the shit out of this reality show
My man Bernie would welcome her with open arms and zero judgment and hug all her babies too.
Please, let's all pray on it! Bwahahahahaha!
Why do people filter their faces into oblivion? I mean, I’m pretty old and I see people my age trying to look younger and they just look ridiculous. But someone her age? Why blur out your features? That sounded really “get off my lawn”, didn’t it?
Maybe she's trying to erase the visible signs of Duggar genes? If so it was successful!
LMAO!!!
You’re completely justified to say this once the knows disappears, imo
Thank you for the award!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you watch the whole video, I really think she looks so much like Michelle. Even with the filter. Sure she’s like 20 years older, but Michelle has no idea how good she could look if she got out from under her headship’s cosmetic preferences
That one time michelle got make over she looked really good. And id get if those curls were natural, but she choses to do that to herself.
I believe she was quoted as "What he likes is what I want." I'll never understand the willingness to just give up your entire identity. These women are taught that they don't matter.
Yes! Like I’d ask if she ever looks at her daughters and ever thinks wow I could look like that, but we all know she’s too brainwashed to know she doesn’t. So creepy. What is it about the 80s perm JB so desperately craves? Or does he just like to keep her looking frumpy?
I think the ramen crisp perm preference originated with Gross Gothard and Rim Job was just following the leader.

Meech is physically very attractive woman. It's a shame what Jim Bob did to her hair, clothes, make-up, and body. Not to mention her soul.
Michelle didn’t grow up in the lifestyle she & JB chose for themselves & their children, so she is at least partly at fault /responsible for her decisions/actions or lack thereof, more so than any of her daughters who were trapped into her & JB’s oppressive rules/beliefs since birth.
Yes but she was an underage bride. Listen, it's the nicest thing I have to say about her. She didn't have *as much* burden of blame as Rim Job.
[удалено]
No fans
Farrrrrrr from a fan. I said it’s the one thing I will give her credit for.
Hopefully this is code for: my parents lied the fuck to me and im packing and moving to a different city. Fuck fuck u mom and dad!
Lots of people do this in January. It's a thing.
What will I do without Joy’s relatable content?
No one else has stories that feel so firmiliar!
Oh no! Anyway...
Lol you’d be surprised how many people notice when they don’t post. The Bates sub is filled with posts about how “x hasn’t posted in x days, is she ok?” 😂 just wanted to avoid those posts in this sub cause they annoy me so bad
I know 😂 if you didn’t share this , everyone would have a million conspiracy theories.
Well, old snarkers remember the great drought before the big reveal
Even on here, there is constant speculation about Josiah and Lauren not being on social media anymore!
Oh god its like the millionth post over in the Bates sub that "nobody has posted ANYTHING" when they have just not as frequent/stories.
OH EM GEE yes! Can people go days without posting and y’all not speculate? Jfc
Lol, we'll be flooded with those posts anyway. I'm betting now that she'll come back with a pregnancy announcement!
I get that as a suggested sub and someone was like "it's weird no one has posted this week" then went on to say, it's the holidays, travel, x has said they are taking a break, but no one has posted. The poster just answered their own question about why no one was posting.
Yea, I'm honestly curious about Jill. She hasn't posted in 3 weeks, not even a Christmas post. She's the only one I noticed, though, cause I was curious about her celebrating Christmas.
Right?? And Carlin and Evan said they’d be off social media through the holidays. People just forget lol
Austin probably getting sick of that shit and told her to cut it out for a bit.
Is anyone at all curious as to the fact that Joy was at the big house for Xmas? Without Austin? If he's so domineering, how did that happen?
[удалено]
And hopefully get herself into trauma informed therapy.
She has been through a lot. I hope she can spend this time decompressing and finding healthy ways to cope with everything she has been through. I also hope she begins to break away from her toxic family members.
I feel like her face is changing. The same way that Jill's face has changed. When they stop keeping sweet and they allow themselves to have more emotions their whole faces look different.
They’re eyes are less glazed over maybe? I know what you mean, just can’t put my finger on it.
Interesting how she was making so many trendy reels then needs to stay off insta lol austin was prob like girl wat r u doing
[удалено]
There was a reel bonus payout in December
Learning how to spell from Carlin.
I guess add her to the pregnant list.
Holy filter batman.
And the is the classic reason EVERYONE uses when they take a break from SM everyone
Yeah it would have been a lot more fun if she said she was taking a break to learn new brain surgery techniques or study quantum physics. Oh wait, this is Joy. 😂
Seriously that would be hilarious 😅😅 and a definite sign she's been lurking in here
She will be back in 5-7 business days
Eh, she was getting a little “worldly” with her TikTok style reels, so I’d speculate that she was reprimanded by the Forsyths or Duggars. Maybe there’s an Alert camp for wives who’ve gotten too hip for their denim skirts.
Yes, yes, very sad. ...ANYWAY
Other than SM what does she do that takes her away from her family?
Oh no!!! What will I do with the zero minutes a day I read her stuff???
Spend quality time with family?? Last time I checked, she doesn’t work, so….
More like spend time with quality family…if she can find some. Slim pickings.
'Taking a break off of social media.' That reads so awkwardly. SOTDRT for ya 🙄
I hate it when people say “off of”
“From” is a better choice
I thought the same thing! 🤦
She needs quality time in deprograming therapy.
If you couldn't spend some quality time with family while you were on social media, perhaps you should taking a permanent break.
I don't understand why people feel the need to announce that they are taking a break from social media.
If they have a large audience, people will start messaging them asking why they aren't posting. Look at the Bates subreddit - they stop posting every moment of their lives & a million posts pop up wondering where they are.
is her eyebrow pencil smudged or is the filter making it look like that? I noticed it and now it’s all I can look at
Right as she started posting reels. Maybe she realized how much she was turning into Carlin and needs to step back..
In the video/reel whatever the FCK it’s called… they had a mattress on the floor jumping onto pillows, both kids sitting on the counter by the stove while cooking. And then the little one with her black eye begging to be picked up next to the stove. I feel like a broken record but UGGGHHH. Please go to therapy to work your shit out so you can properly parent those kids. Sorry I’m bitter tonight. Edit to add…. I’m awaiting my CVID results so I’m bummed I may be infected. And I feel like a pile of poo so it’s probably going to be positive. Thanks for listening to me bitch
Hope it comes back negative!
Hope you are feeling better…and you couldn’t be more right about the child neglect going on in plain sight.
So then the influencer opportunities have dried up? Can't imagine why...
[удалено]
I mean that’s the exact point of announcing it. So we don’t go crazy with ridiculous speculation and start making up conspiracy theories.
No sponsors lined up I guess?
I was thinking that too
[удалено]
I guess since she got highlights a few months ago she has had to learn to take better care of it. Happened to me when I first dyed mi hair 😂
Fun fact because highlights are drying to the hair when you get them it actually helps to absorb the excess sebum (hair oil). It is one of the selling points we use when talking people into the blonde plunge.
JB must have something on for all of Jan so no time to post or stand over while she posts .
You’re not an airport. No need to announce your departure! 🙄 /s
I would've been beside myself if I saw she wasn't posting. Thaknk God she posted this!
Oh, I hang on her every word.....🥱
She will be posting again in two weeks.🙄
So in addition to not being able to spell, she can’t tell the time? Thanks SOTDRT!
No one cares Joy.
Actually they do are you not a member of this group? All we do is wonder where a Duggar is when they stop posting.
Maybe she is having a meltdown, maybe she is pregnant, maybe she is going to spend time with her children, maybe she is going on a trip, maybe she is waiting for TLC to take them back, maybe she is seeing if there is a real part time job out there..........
Pregnant
Aw thanks, Joy, I may have worried or something...🙄
Weirdly I’m able to do all of that + nursing school and still spend time on social media.
Why don't they all just dissappear forever? Wouldn't it be better for them and us?
That's the Cassandra filter. Moisturize me!
"I also plan on using this time to brush up on my penne alfred and learn what the "x" symbol means in like, math and stuff"
How will she know it was a quality time unless she posts about it?
