"Just because kids are a blessing from God doesn't mean you should have as many as possible." This is so crucially important.
I can't help but think back to when producers made it a habit to ask Michelle was she expecting after they lost Jubilee, her response was "no, but I would like to be. "
It appeared that she enjoyed having children, but it also appeared that once a baby was past a certain age, the oldest girls were responsible for looking after them.
@@sharonjo7630
I can't help but think Michelle being pregnant all the time was in some way related to her body image issues she had as a teenager. When you're pregnant, it's okay to not have that "perfect body."
@@celestelawler587...why do you think that?
Agreed!!! I see parents with multiple kids who are beyond exhausted yet refuse to use birth control. It's okay to pace yourself and have a limit!! I stopped at two and felt a peace about it. Years later we are still happy with our little family- and we all get sleep every night! ;-)
@@sharonjo7630
I said why in my comment. She traded one "obsession" with another. Both body image related & having control.
I am so proud of Jinger. She has grown into a very mature, articulate, kind woman. I can’t imagine the pain she went through to come to the mature place she is at now. She speaks her truth without condemning others in her family. I love her!
Agreed! I am so proud of her!
LET GOD BE TRUE AND EVERY MAN A LIAR
Jinger you should be ashamed of yourself fellowshipping with Hollywood and teaching women that it is okay to be immodest when you know that God is Holy and we are His children and we should also be Holy because His living word says it
“Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication but she repented not. This is the modern day church where do whatever feels good.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 kjv
“Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s”
@duffy dawg She's on a personal journey of freedom that does include an aspect of publicity bc she basically grew up in the public eye. But nonetheless I don't question her sincerity. It was just a matter of time before one, or more Duggar siblings made decisions to pull away from their radical religious upbringing. It often takes someone well into adulthood, and the wisdom of age to really be able to compare and contrast the teachings received in childhood, and the all to different life in adulthood. I get this, bc I too was brought up in a very religious home where it was modeled to be pious and chaste. All the while I was SA from the age of 6-16. I've been in therapy, and continue to unravel my upbringing with biblical truths. I applaud Jinger for her courage.
It's the truth many people have the same truth throughout many family there are things called the truth and the LIE not my truth your truth
Has she changed the spelling of her name 😁?
She's such an inspiration to young people who are involved in such religious situations. You can set yourself free and still believe in God. I did many years ago.
God bless you! Good for you for breaking free!
You can really set yourself free by not being ruled by religion. Sadly, Jinger is ruled by Jeremy. She's as much under his thumb as she was under Jim Bob's. She's like when you sell a car. It just changes ownership. She traded the IBLP cult & Bill Gothard for Jeremy's Calvinist religion & John MacArthur. Only now she gets to dress better.
❤ Same
Very true my family was really strict and just pulled into what is called Christianity it was crazy as I got older and went into the world on my own I kinda realized some things but still allow god in my life
I am so very proud of her. She was my favorite from the very beginning, and I’m so glad she did her own research.
Embracing personal responsibility. 🎉🎉🎉
She didn't do research. She's just trying to do this to help her own image. The media has hated her family in recent years.
@@IWantToMature85 you sound bitter and like you have a lot of personal healing to do. Hateful people usually deflect their inner dissatisfaction on the world. I hope you too find peace.
I think that Jinger's "research" has come through her husband and John MacArthur, another patriarchal evangelical leader. She's never had any opportunity to gain an education outside of her homeschooling, nor spent any time being independent and learning things on her own. I do hope the best for her.
@@ga6589 so, because you lean left and don't like MacArthur, you think that he isn't worth listening too? Smh.
This is an example of how parents always don’t know best. I’m glad she took a path for her and her family that she’s happy with. I hope she continues to be blessed and I wish her nothing but the best.
Well said, and so,so true!
There are no parents who have all the right answers or raise kids perfectly. And we all grow up and live differently than we were raised based on our own beliefs.
Jinger is following Jeremy's path. She's NEVER had the opportunity to forge her own path. If she hadn't married Jeremy, she'd still be gung ho IBLP cult. She's Jeremy's puppet. HE'S behind her writing this book. Jinger can't see that John MacArthur is no different than Bill Gothard. I feel sorry for her.
@@shirleybrewer8921
If she hadn't married Jeremy, she'd STILL be in the IBLP cult. Unfortunately, she can't see the similarities between Bill Gothard & John MacArthur. True, no parents have all the right answers. But if their oldest son sexually molests 4 of his younger sisters when he's a teenager, they don't sweep it under the rug like Jim Bob & Michelle did.
Her parents are loving Godly people. They have done nothing wrong. Don't blame them because YOU don't want to obey God.
I loved how she answered these questions, pure class
I didn’t watch that show often, but when I did, I remember consistently thinking that Jinger seemed to have a noticeable sadness about her. Im glad she’s doing her own thing now.
It is a shame. She went from one cult to another. MacArthur is evil. The rules her new church make you agree to I have never seen anywhere.
She's doing what Jeremy wants her to do. The "spark"' she seemed to have as a teenager living under Jim Bob's thumb seems to have disappeared. I don't think she's truly happy. I remember her saying on an episode of 19 Kids that some day she'd like to live in a big city. Michelle jumped right in & said, "What she means, is, she'd like to live closer to a Walmart. No, that's NOT what she meant. She knew Jeremy was her ticket out of Arkansas.
@@celestelawler587its really sad that the cult she was in would say they corrected her my making her more docile but really they just broke her.
@@katrinashaw2195 that's sad talk about false prophets I just hope she doesn't stray away from God completely because someone misrepresented who he is but this is her testimony I'm glad she is free and can help others..
@@janderson947
She is NOT FREE. She's controlled by Jeremy. HE's the impetus for this book. Corey Williams who supposedly helped Jinger with this book is the Chief Communications Officer for John MacArthur's Masters Seminary. John McArthur is no better than Bill Gothard. Sadly, she hasn't left "religion" behind. She just follows Jeremy's patriarchal Calvinism now instead of the IBLP cult's brand of "religion." ALL religion is for the purpose of controlling the masses.
She’s brave and possesses critical thinking skills. Good for her!
She doesn’t have critical thinking skills, this was all her husband’s doing. He’s such an underachiever he’s setting his wife up as a cash cow to give us some sob story. As if the rest of America didn’t know how screwed up her family is!
I commend Jinger for her bravery in speaking on such personal matters.
Wow! Never thought any sisters would speak out! Proud of her!
Jill has been speaking out for 4+ years. So glad another sister that is speaking out.
It was just a matter of time before one or more spoke out. My wish is that Jana will find her own voice now. She's the oldest daughter, and has chosen to remain single unlike her sisters bc of the teachings of Bill Goddard that her parents implemented.
@@bkessinger94 That’s true. Jill was the first trailblazer…
I'm pretty sure this is all her husband's doings. He controls her just like Jim Bob did. Only Jeremy is better educated. And slick.
@@celestelawler587 and you know this and then personally? 🙄
This young woman needs to be commended; she’s amazing & so is the journey she is on. I wish her the best.
She's so strong. You could tell she was at first blindsided when she asked about josh but she handled that with so much grace. I'm so proud of her
I just cried a little. Watched this show for years. I am not religious I just loved their simplicity a d enjoyed watching. Can't believe looking back how much pain they all were going through.
I have been to their house. My mom tried to get me to date one of the sons. I refused. I wasn’t conforming. I’m so glad that the older girls were getting out. I love Jinger and Jill!!
SIMPLICITY??? You need discernment.
Not so simple now, is it?
@@yourturn777 I meant it seemed simple years ago. I was younger then. Calm the fuck down.
@@bkessinger94 you dodged a bullet. smart move. I think most of the boys seem a little strange
@@CD-il5xh thanks. It’s because of how they were raised. It sucks. I was able to move out of my upbringing. A lot of them are financially dependent on the parent duggars. The girls were easier to get out because they got married and then their husband supported them.
The way she spoke about Josh broke my heart. To know someone you love and care for is such an evil person is something no one should have to live with. Obviously the victims suffered much worse and is the most heartbreaking. I'm glad Jinger is speaking up and out about all of the good she has found now as an adult. A lot of the older Duggar daughters are starting to speak up, I wonder if any of the older Duggar sons feel any different than what they were taught about women.
Most of the brothers are financially dependent on JimBob, with their businesses and properties intertwined. This system benefits the men, and they were raised to see their sisters as basically their cooks and maids. From what I’ve seen, most of them have a long way to go. John David seems pretty chill, but BunkBedJed is just like a mini Josh.
It is something we ALL are forced to endure. If you think we should get to be exempt from this, you are living as entitled.
Grow up. These are tough learning experiences, & are survivable. Take off the blinders, elitism, & have the guts to get out of your box. There are in fact people starving in many places in OUR WORLD. Little problems shrink when compared to those we often chose to ignore. There are many going through way worse life situations than ms.duggar!!!
She is handling her situation well. Congrats!!
Is this a miracle? No.
COVER THE STREETS. We cannot relate to the lives of the privileged who are shocked to find out that we all have problems. & Most are way worse.
Lack of exposure creates ignorance of reality.
@@yourturn777 The children in the images taken from Josh Duggars computer with child porn, are most likely the starving children you speak of, which make his crimes doubly horrific. How did you grow up? I had a very happy childhood and still struggle daily with the anxiety, depression and OCD that has plagued me since childhood. Imagine growing up in a cult where you're told you're only good enough for physically pleasing your husband whenever he wants it, even if YOU don't want sex, (The exact words from family Matriarch, Michelle Duggar to her daughters), raising babies, cleaning the house and cooking. And you were led to believe that God, the most powerful being in existence (according to the way she grew up), that GOD SAID women were ONLY good enough to do those things. That was her reality. She got lucky and married a man who TRULY loves and appreciates his wife and it's because of their relationship that she started giving herself more freedom. Jingers father, Jim Bob Duggar, told Jeremy Vuolo (Jingers then fiance now husband) that when they got married, Jeremy would be in charge of dictating his wife's wardrobe and what activities she could take part in. Jeremy has said in interviews that he was taken aback by the comments, but told JB okay to end the topic. He says all the time that he doesn't care what Jingers wears as long as she feels good and happy and confident in herself, that's the only "requirement" he gives her, be happy and enjoy yourself.
My suspicion is that Josh was also molested. It's also likely he doesn't remember. You don't become like this at this young of an age out of nowhere or for no reason.
@@yourturn777 WTF is wrong with you?
So proud of her for standing up and finding her own path.
I always knew she was different and she would go her way, she is such a beautiful and strong woman, i love her style and her engagement to a normal life .
Gosh I can’t even describe how proud I am of her! She is grown up to be such a beautiful, godly woman and I’m glad that she was able to get free from the cult her family is so deeply entrenched in
Jinger is so strong and I commend her for stepping out and speaking on this. You’re amazing and deserve all the happiness and healing 💜💜💜
I love how Jinger shares her story and struggles while staying respectful and classy.
Respectful? You have to be joking
She is such a brave beautiful women, I wish her the very best! Good for Jinger. ❤️
Y'all are saying this because she's following the Godless narrative promoted by the media and most people on social media.
It takes a lot of strength to come out speaking about all of this
Dont forget the pay!
WE ARE PROUD OF YOU! we wish you all the best. You don't have to be close or talk to toxic and abusive family members. Your happiness and mental wellbeing is always first!
What a brave, thoughtful young woman she is. I hope all of her siblings will eventually think for themselves, too.
I love Jinger. And Jill. Both are incredibly brave for going against what their parents taught them all their lives. You KNOW that could not have been easy. I just hope they can maintain a strong relationship with their parents
So proud of her. What a beautiful, poised, intelligent young woman. We can all learn so much from her
Good for her. I wouldn’t expect her to talk to her sick brother. Bless her heart.
Amen to the statement that " just because children are a gift from God does not mean you have to have as many as possible!!!"
That was not her decision. But her mothers and many religions dictate that. Not just her parents. I’m sorry for what josh did to her but the other stuff she is whining about is just ridiculous!
You do realize that’s a choice, right? How many you have is how many you decide to have when you spread your legs. Your choice. You don’t want kids? Then stop spreading your legs. Simple solution.
Exactly so she is basically saying she wishes her younger siblings were never born? Ouch!
So proud of her.. she sounds professional… and seems so finally comfortable in her skin..
What a lovely young woman. All I can say is Jinger’s parent’s sure raised a beautiful, humble daughter.
So proud of her. I come from a similar faith background and deconstruction is so difficult, so I am extremely impressed at her tenacity.
She didn’t pull away from her family. She pulled away from some of her family traditions. Stop making it seem like she doesn’t have a relationship with her family. She loves them very much and respect them.
True. I feel bad for those Duggar kids. They love their parents and brother. I think the media is trying to make her say something bad about her brother and family. Am glad she did not fall for it. They don’t really care. They are just looking for a headline.what the brother did was wrong, but what do they want the Duggar kids to do about it?? They are not responsible for a grown man’s actions.
She has a lot of grace inside her. I’m proud of her
I'm sooo proud of her!!! God bless her! ❤️
😢 i hope she heals and finds peace within ♥️
I am happy she found her faith again seperate from the skewered way she learned it as a child. Moving away from her family, esp her father, was the best thing for her.
Good for her. Writing my book was very therapeutic for me, and I'm sure it was the same for Jinger. Those of us who grew up under strict rules within various Christian denominations, understand her very well. As for me, growing up in a strict Haitian Baptist household, I wasn't allowed to wear pants, blah, blah, blah. Joining the US military at age 20 and later becoming a US citizen opened up the world for me. I thank God every day that I served, travelled the world, made different friends, I'm accepting of others, and I'm now a completely different person from my family of origin. It's always wise to leave the nest when we're on a journey of self-discovery.
What is the name of your book if you don’t mind me asking? Your story sounds very inspiring. Thank you for sharing and thank you for your service 💕
I''m glad you were able to break free!
So glad seeing the Duggar sisters become their own people their UA-cam vlogs are great
Jinger is a mature, thoughtful and kind young woman. Her parents should be very proud of her.
I agree they should be but I don't think they are.
I doubt they will
Sadly her parents aren't proud of her. Her parents and some siblings are still in the IBLP
She is so brave, well-spoken and thoughtful. Just watched Shiny Happy People and it shed a lot of light on the whole situation
So proud of her. She has a good heart. I'm glad she and Jill married men that got them far away from Arkansas and their father's overbearing ways. 🙏🏾 both she and Jill are my favorites.
YOU GO GIRL!!! I’m so happy for you! YOU DID THAT! YOU! And I promise you it would be better and you would be so much happier
It’s nice to hear her independently speak out. Stay strong!
Now that she can listen to Rock, I wonder if Jinger listens to the band Jinjer?
Oh boo hoo she wasn’t allowed to listen to rock music as a kid. Poor baby!
❤what a lovely young woman. I’m so glad Jinger has been able to take control of her own life. I have so much empathy for her and her siblings…including Josh, who is also a victim of his childhood.
What a strong lady! I’m happy for her kids to be brought up in a better way.
Awe. Jinger is so very sweet. I'm so proud of her. ❤ God bless her.
You go girl! Shine that light 💟👑
Wow. So impressed with her courage! She is amazing!
Jinger always being my favorite. She was so different from the others. Good for her. She deserve a good life
She is an incredible human. Love her story and her bravery.
I'm impressed by her courage and critical skills that she has developed.
she's incredibly powerful and rational, i'm so happy for her that she's now living the life she's always wanted.
I am so proud of her!!
That’s a lot to unpack unlearn and get through I’m so proud of her unraveling all of that
Love Ginger, I wonder how explosive a tell-all book written by her mother would be. That lady has the same permanent smile plastered all day every day, a lot is brewing under that smile!
For real!!! She would need a series probably, not just one book
Stepford wives, handmaids tale,
Tammy Faye, manson girls, mtg! Nuthin new. These are grown Women! Im not talking about children.
Giving ones self to a warped leader is fairly common. They will tell you they didnt see it coming, when the truth is they did not want to see it, & chose to ignore it. Until, "all of a sudden"?? they are trapped & too damaged to get out of what they got THEMSELVES into.
Much easier to get out b4 damages overwhelm abilities. At some point, we are all individually responsible.
Ask katie holmes, or Louise turpin.
@@yourturn777 uhhhmmm...
I’m so glad she is opening up about her experiences. Whatever helps get through it and move past it is a good thing.
So Proud of Jinger and the courage to break free!!
So proud of her and I hope she feels all the love she's getting for her strength to break free, I'm sure it was so difficult for her
Good for her. I grew up in a similar setting(minus the 20 siblings) but once I moved out on my own it was so freeing! The fact that TLC platformed and paid the Duggar’s is ridiculous.
Jinger is a treasure. So proud of her for speaking up, sharing her beliefs, and being a light in this dark world. 💖
I am sure that a few of her sisters feel the same way. What a beautiful young lady.
We support you, Jinger! Proud of you for finding what beliefs work well for you and your family. 💙
I hope now that she has spoken about her brother that those questions for Jinger will stop
She is not responsible for the horrific sins of her brother.
Jinger is a beautiful young woman I wish Jinger, Jeremy n kids all the best
I know! I’m so tired of hearing about him every time one of the other siblings are on tv!
I am so proud of Jinger. She finally discerned that yes church (religion) is a beautiful thing, but it can be unhealthy as well if they are preaching to tell you how to live, what to wear, who you can be with etc….These are just humans with egos loving how these people just follow them without thinking or questioning…Even at times giving their money and worldly goods. This is not Gods teaching, and I’m so elated that people are starting to discern that Gods love is not about your cloth, or who you talk to, or how much money you give your church. Congratulations Jinger, for opening your mind. You are now speaking Gods words and Love ❤
I think people lean too much on the people teaching religion rather than God himself. I have two uncles, one went to theology school and had his PhD in it and one is a preacher and seeing that as a kid growing up made me realize that even religious leaders are just imperfect humans. Go to God for everything and take the words of leaders with consideration but not with your whole heart. People will fail you alot on this world, it’s just how the world works.
I applaud Jinger for her bravery and honesty
Sending u lots of love Ginger! You're beautiful inside and out. Keep following ur own path! It's inspiring
what a beautiful, soft heart she has
Been waiting for this. She is so brave ❤
I am so proud of her
Wow as a pastor's daughter, I'm so sorry you had to go through this. Glad you were able to break free
Good for her! ❤
Oh my. Makes me want to cry.
Way to go Jinger!!!! You are coming out with alot of things that a viewer would have never known. Thank you for your honesty. Love and Prayers from Canada 🇨🇦 🙏 You have a beautiful family and a very happy marriage. I am very proud of you.
Jinger, you are an a amazing person and you are so brave. I love your strength and courage ❤️
12 years is not enough!!! I love her , she has really risen above. She beautiful inside and out
i used to watch the show and i always really liked jinger. i’m so happy to see that she’s grown into her own and taken the time to reevaluate some of the things she was taught.
👏 so proud of her 🙏
I can't wait to read her book.
I met Ginger ( her whole family actually) when we were teenagers and I just adored her she was so sweet and lovely and it's sad now seeing what was really going on behind closed doors at that time. I'm so happy she got out of that lifestyle and is able to finally have a mind of her own. I wish nothing but the best for her!
She's still not allowed to have a mind of her own. Jeremy controls her just as much as Jim Bob did. We learned back in 2015 what was really going on behind closed doors back in 2001-2002.
@Celeste Lawler how do you know that though? Has she said that? Just genuine curiosity bc I didn't know that! Nothing but prayers for her
@@keelyhale7066
How do I know what? That' she's controlled by Jeremy? Women who are abused rarely speak out about it. So of course Jinger hasn't said anything. She probably isn't even aware that she's being controlled. Look at how she grew up. She nor her siblings were raised. They were controlled. Anna (Keller) Duggar grew up in the IBLP cult as well. She has said that when she watched 19 Kids, she was happy to see another family being TRAINED like she & her siblings were. Sorry, other than potty training, you don't TRAIN your children. You train dogs. Children you raise, nurture & love. So considering the "freedom" Jinger now has compared to how she was forced to live while still at the Tater Tot Mansion, she probably doesn't realize she's being controlled. At the Tater Tot Mansion, she couldn't even leave the compound alone. None of them could. They always had to have an accountability partner with them. She converted to Jeremy's religion. Calvinism, which from what I understand is very patriarchal & mysoginistic, like the IBLP. This book, I'm sure, is all Jeremy's idea. Corey Williams who supposedly helped Jinger write the book is the Chief Communications Officer for John MacArthur's Masters Seminary, where Jeremy has been a student since they moved to California in 2019. Do a little research on John MacArthur & The Master's University/Seminary.
@@celestelawler587 hmmm I didn't know any of that! I'll have to look into it, thank you
Love me some Jinger! Wishing you and your family the best. I really enjoyed watching you guys growing up.
I’ve always loved ginger, I’m proud of her and the journey she’s been through, she seems like the biggest sweetheart
I'm proud of you Jinger and you're my favorite in your family's show. She's so brave for standing for what is right against their family norms and beliefs. Good luck with your book. 🙏 🙏 🙏
Bless her heart.
She is so sincere
You can see the pain she still goes through when talking about her brother what a hardship but it has made her a compassionate woman
I’m so happy for you Jinger, this was not easy to do. But you have grown so much and you are such an inspiration. I pray God used you to help others in similar situations. God bless you and your family. ❤️
I love her!❤💕
Jinger is so strong. So very proud of her journey
I am so proud of her. She is such an amazing woman and I hope that God gives her all the good things to come. I hope that she has more kids because I think she is one of the most amazing moms.
Jinger was my favorite Duggar
3 biggest indicators of abuse are alcohol use, drug use & religiosity.
I love her! I’m sure this will help so many!
so proud of you, jinger
So proud of her and wish her nothing but the best in life for speaking her truth.
She was always my favourite. I'm glad she's growing and happy!
Jinger recently went through around age 28 what astrologers call her 'Saturn return'. This is when we go back and review what we've been taught by parents, society and everything we've ever known and decide if we truly believe it or if we have somewhere along the line just claimed someone else's beliefs instilled on us, as our own. Totally impressed with all of the healing you've done, I know it is still so very painful but you are helping so many others as well. We love you girl! Beautiful inside and out!
yes yes and she looked amazing during this interview, so pretty and grown up.
I’m so glad she was able to see through to the real truth and keep her faith. She’s smart and beautiful!
I’m so proud of her. My dad was an IFB pastor (not Gothard-related), and I had a similarly strict upbringing. I deconstructed in my early 30’s, which was a long and difficult process.
Wow Jinger we’re all so proud of you!
And very proud of her to way to go
A brave young woman. She can help many trapped in such religious groups.
