Joy Anna duggar is now in a courtship...

[Anonymous]

Poor Joy. The Forsyth's (his family) are even worse than the Duggars. They are only allowed to close their bedroom doors when changing clothes, because they say only evil results from secrecy. Though I'm not sure how much worse that is than the Duggars only letting the boys sleep under a sheet so they can't touch themselves under a blanket

Does anyone know if any of the older Duggar girls are working as midwives? They were training as midwives, but I don't know if any of them are actually employed.

No. Jill was training under a midwife who lost her license after irresponsibly handling an emergency birth. When the midwife lost her license, Jill lost her training hours I believe. Then she had her own kid anyway, and you don't work after babies in that world.

Jana was training to be a doula, which as far as I know doesn't actually require any certification, so I guess she could still call herself a doula, but I don't think she's been practicing.

The boys never have blankets on their beds because you never know what will happen if that's allowed. It's absurd. If I could figure out how to do it on my phone, I'd include a photo, but there's a pic on this page of the boys room, and you can see that there are only sheets on the bed

I think that Jana is holding out for a really good one. Maybe a famous, young, handsome, rich athlete or high society guy.

I'm not sure. I think I remember an episode of her saying she's not into the whole "business suit" type and likes more of the down and dirty type (not those exact words).

Delaying marriage is also a good way for her to manage her family size and to find a husband who is not a child himself.

This is my thought too. And, as much as I would figure that anyone would want a quick escape from that family, it might be more her style to take things slow, unlike all of her other sisters. I'm actually hoping that she'll casually drift out of the show and do her own thing, as a single woman. That would be such great news.

Even if this is not her intention, I hope it's her outcome. A more mature and well established man, a more reasonably sized (if still large) family, enough maturity of her own to assess someone as a life mate - her outcome could potentially be the best.

At least these two have known each other for a long time, it seems most of these, guy comes out no where, and boom, marriage results.

Brood mares for Christ. They are like a cult or maybe are one

Yea and all kinds of other weird, messed up things. They're all brainwashed. It's not normal and it's not wholesome and it's not Christianlike. It's a cult, more than religion. Yet I can't stop watching - interesting social study I suppose. Same with the sister wives

Wait, what prevents them from touching themselves under a sheet? Maybe I'm missing something here

And wasn't Jill training as a midwife assistant ? Which is completely different than a CNM.

It's more visible. I wonder if they leave the lights on all night or have an attack dog at the ready to thwart unapproved fapping.

From the picture it doesn't even look like they get top sheets on the bed, just a fitted sheet over the mattress. But even if they did, a boner is obviously much more visible under a sheet than under a blanket/comforter.
