[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I finished this last night and wow, so upsetting.  I got the feeling that Jill may take legal action against TLC and/or her parents about the whole lack of payment (listed as a minor) issue.  Maybe the statue of limitations has run out, but who knows?

Also, I wish they had given us an update on the rest of the kids.  Did that older daughter ever get married?  She always seemed the saddest to me. [/quote]

No, Jana never married (she's 33 now).  She recently moved into a small house on the same property as her parents' house.[/quote]

I read that Jana has made multiple 5 year commitments to not date as a promise to God and her family. It's a Bill Gothard/IBLP thing and the ultimate vow of celibacy. Jinger mentioned these vows in an interview, not saying Jana but it felt like she was hinting at that. She said some girls take 10 yr vows.[/quote]

Sounds like the kind of thing you do when marriage isn't for you.[/quote]

Which is especially likely if you are part of a religion where your husband has authority over you and can discipline you.[/quote]
And you’ve already helped raise 18 kids, more than several of whom were your primary responsibility starting at age 6 or so.[/quote]

I always thought that the older kids in these families just kind of fell into caring for the younger ones as needed, and assumed mom and dad were just lazy. I was shocked to hear that it's actually the plan! Once kids are weened apparently they don't need parenting anymore!? I feel very sad for those kids. [/quote]
Yes, the buddy system they have is very much planned and structured.[/quote]
