Despite being marketed as a good lifestyle, the Institute of Basic Life Principles (IBLP )was criticized for its questionable practices. In the Amazon docuseries, Shiny Happy People, fans of Counting on and 19 Kids and Counting learned more than they previously realized. Jill and Derick Dillard took part in it and when Jim Bob made his statement, he clearly didn’t approve of her speaking out.
Meanwhile, Counting On fans saw that Jill’s brother Jed seemed firmly on his dad’s side. Actually, James Duggar was thought to support Jill cryptically. Mind you, some people felt he could be taken either way. Perhaps he posted just enough to satisfy both sides of the TLC family members. But, it wasn’t clear where Jason Duggar stood on the reputational damage done against the TLC family. Bear in mind, the documentary slammed the IBLP, even suggesting that it threatened democracy in the USA.
This week, Katie Joy from Without A Crystal Ball shared a post on Instagram. If you don’t know, she spent years investigating the family and the IBLP. In fact, she was an early bird who described the family as belonging to a “cult.” Now, it seems that many people who watched the TLC shows agree. Actually, some of them admit remorse for supporting the airing by TLC.
This week, Katie shared a screenshot that revealed that Jason Duggar might lean heavily toward his dad’s opinion. She noted that he had linked his profile page to the family blog site. And that’s where Jim Bob had given his statement. While there’s nothing said in writing or verbally about him being against the Amazon docuseries, it could hint that he knows where his bread is buttered.
Many folks who commented on the post about Jason Duggar felt unsurprised. One of them said, “Of course he has!! Jim Bob is doubling down.” Then, they felt that Jinger Vuolo was right when she wrote about not being taught “critical thinking” as kids.
More people picked up on the fact that none of the boys really came out in support of their sister speaking out. And, a number of them noted that so far, it seems that the only way they might, is if the person they marry convinces them that there other ways to live their lives.
What are your thoughts? Do you think that James Duggar signaled his support of Jim Bob against Shiny Happy People by linking to his parents’ blog? Let us know in the comments below.
