Jinger Duggar Vuolo On Speaking Out in New Book: "I Feel So Much More Free" | PEOPLE
/ people - Розваги
I am impressed with how articulate she is. She has come along way from her upbringing. The changes she has made have not gone against Christianity and her faith comes across as pure.
Agree completely. Happy for her😊
Good for you, Jinger.
She used to say "like, like, like" so much. She speaks so eloquently now with only a few "likes". I'd like to see a Q and A interview. I have many questions. How did her parents react to her saying that her upbringing was not what the Bible says, for example?
Good for you, Jinger!! I have not read your book, but I plan to. Good for you, doing your own bible research! No where in the holy bible does it say women should only wear skirts! Some down to their ankles? Nowhere in mine.
According to who? Your righteousness? Her righteousness? Or GOD’s??? Just another soul creating a god to fit their ungodly lifestyle
Does anyone else noticed how much her cadence in speaking has changed since setting boundaries with her family? I love seeing this change in her and how her experience in her previous church didn't ruin her relationship with Jesus.
I’ve noticed that too the biggest thing is her setting boundaries with her family.
Yes; I completely agree with you
Yup, doesn’t talk like a robot anymore. It’s wonderful. Jill has changed in the same way.
Yeah, there isn't such a start and stop in her talking. It was the first thing I noticed because I wasn't watching the video at first.
I am so impressed with the changes and new found strength is, that she has found. Hopefully her story will help others.
Her critical thinking skills are strong, especially for one in that family. Shes such a well rounded open minded person! I love how shes not sheltering her kids and is choosing to give them the decision on wether or not to be in the public eye.
Shock resister, you’d probably be surprised at how “free thinking” the Duggar kids are now. They’ve really grown and blossomed as they’ve made their way out in the world. There was a lot of good in their upbringing in learning good character as well as being sheltered. I think they keep their opinions to themselves probably to be respectful of their family especially their parents.
I’m really glad she is sharing her story. So many leave the faith because of negative experiences but she sought out the truth. Jinger you have a powerful testimony ♥️
This.
Very true!
Yeah...but she left a cult, not an actual religious upbringing.
I’m so glad she is out and living her life on her terms.
Yeah she’ve to be happy on her own
And hasn’t dismissed or disrespected her parents in doing so.
How brave and wonderful to “re-examine” His word and to not only find the truths within it, but to share them with the world! She is one respectful and truly brave sister in Christ! You go girl!❤️
I live in DC and became especially fascinated with this family when Josh & Anna moved to this area. Jinger is so eloquent and thoughtful! Her tolerance of differences is so refreshing and feels like the true spirit of Christianity. It's this kind of openmindedness that's going to make Christianity attractive to those of us who aren't in the church.
Christianity comes from the heart just been spoken
This is so beautifully written, i agree!
its important to understand though that you can be loving and tolerant of ppl who have different beliefs and values while still holding true to your own beliefs. it is the purpose to make christianity more attractive to those who are without God and a church.. God wants christianity to be more attractive so more can be saved.. but the values of christianity have not changed from the Bible. if you want to become a christian it is about being born again and living your life for christ. the old you dies, and the new you is born. and while you’re still susceptible to sin, instead of diving further into sin, you repent and have faith in God that He will get you through that tribulation. it is about fully trusting in God and relying on that pure faith to get through this temporary life here on Earth before we receive the gift of eternal life with our creator.
That may be a true remark, but it seems like that's what Jinger is trying to embody. As a non-Christian, it's actually horrifying to see the way Christians are behaving these days. I read an article about that 12 year old who was shot and killed after getting into trouble with cars. The number of Christians seeing that as an appropriate action was horrifying. But reminded me of how Baptists could go to church and then lynch someone on their way home. I would never describe Christianity as "tolerate" or "peaceful" as an outsider looking in. But I believe Jinger is trying to embody those traits
Me too. Got turned off of God when the First Baptist church of Downey was taken over by people of hate. I pre-ordered Jinger's book. Because of what I went through.
Wow. It is so refreshing to see her break away from the dead, legalistic teachings she was raised to believed but yet is holding strong to Jesus Christ. My husband and I were into Bill Gothard’s teachings and homeschooling program for our young family for a few years in the 90’s. We eventually dropped it. I’m SO glad we did.
Ask, seek, knock……that is what you are doing.❤ Good for you, Jinger! You are getting established in “your” faith and letting go of what others have mistakenly led you into! Blessings ahead for you and for your family as well!
Really appreciated this interview. Jinger always presents herself in such a thoughtful, intelligent, and gracious manner. Love that despite her upbringing, she places such value on education for her girls.
The way she speaks of her family disagreements with understanding is aspirational too, honestly. Kindness
As a mom, I am proud of her and the path she’s chosen for herself. Beautiful young lady!
Christianity comes from the heart not just been spoken you know anywhere she is i bet you she’s gonna be happy all through her life
I’m her age. I’m old now according to society.
Im so proud of you Jinger. Im so glad you wrote a book. You are growing up into a wonderful women. All the best for your future xx
So happy that she was able to be open to question her upbringing. No parents make all the correct choices and decisions and now as an adult woman, mother, wife she needs to do what is correct for for her and her family!
Good job and keep true to yourself
I’m so glad that Jinger is speaking out and becoming her own woman I used to watch the show and I never thought any of these kids looked happy when they were growing up with them having to much isolation.
It didn't seem like any of them got to really be kids as the older ones were raising the younger ones. Maybe the youngest ones have a different experience though.
@@cryforthemoon Yes you are right about the older kids were raised the younger kids, but now the younger kids are older now and don’t need any supervision.
@@marwatson7408 They may not need supervision, but they are under their parent's wing (and household) and can't be free to be anything or anyone other than what is dictated by Mom and Dad. Sadly........
@@debbietrego1540 Yes I know but it seems one by one the OLDER Kids are waking up to the indoctrination that they were forced to grow up in and living their lives a lot differently now. Hopefully when the younger kids get older they will leave and follow and live their lives the way they want too.
Been praying for these girls for a decade or more. So, so happy for her, her freedom is on her face, in her spirit and voice.
Anna Duggar needs to read this book!!!
I love her courage. I used to watch the show all the time and Ginger would always make my husband laugh so hard. Things would happen or be said in the show and Ginger would have these big huge eyes 👀 . You could tell she was not like the others. She was thinking things through and trying to figure it all out. Good for her.
Good for her. She and her siblings had a toxic upbringing disguised as virtue. I cant imagine all the work it takes to undo all the wrong finite principles she was taught all her life. What a lovely young woman. Yes, our values are individualized, and you and only you need to be comfortable with how you interpret God’s teachings. It’s wonderful to know she’ll be breaking the cycle of mis truths with her children, and thus, future generations
With God, ALL things are possible.
I've had the exact same Spiritual journey, growing up in a Pentecostal Church. It was all rules and fear, but when you begin to work on a true relationship with Christ, you begin to feel free indeed. The fear, people pleasing, and anxiety all go away in the true presence of God. God bless you on your journey Jinger!
I was also brought up in a Pentecostal church with very word of faith and prosperity teaching. It drove fear into my heart and made me feel I could never be worthy. To this day my mom thinks if you say something it will come true very superstitious. It's very sad so many are confused by false men of God.
I was raised in a panticostol family and I still go to the panticostol church. The bible says in Proverbs 9:10, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." It's the type of fear where you would not want to dissapoint God with your behavior or actions because of your love for him.
I love that Jinger has done what is best for her regarding her faith, how she raises her kids, and where she chooses to live. It’s great that she doesn’t seem hateful towards her past or her parents.
I'd bet money that JimBob is still furious, though, despite her respectful approach to challenging the beliefs she was taught as a child.
I love how Jinger speaks with love and respect about her family even though she disagrees with much of what she was taught. Amazing young woman!
It warms my heart to hear this young woman speak with such poise and confidence. What a great transformation informed by scripture. So happy to see Jinger make a clean break from a man-made cult while maintaining her faith.
She’s so well-spoken and secure now. Wonderful to see how she was able to recognize what was damaging and leave it behind but still keep faith in Jesus. You can just see how free and relaxed she is now. ❤
God bless you and Jeremy! What a journey you've been on and know that so many fans are so HAPPY for you! Keep being true and sweet and just at PEACE!!!
I’m not a Christian, but I have been intrigued by the Duggar’s for years. I’m so happy for Jinger, and I hope her siblings and others in the IBLP will be able to be moved by her example. No one needs to be living in constant fear and confusion.
I hope Jana will have a more free life or her own soon.
Now This is the intelligent woman I thought we were watching grow up on television! Good for you Jinger!
I’m so thrilled to hear J speak this way. I can’t wait to read the book.
Read the Holy Bible
@@chrisb5793 wow judge much. Because I read a memoir I don’t read the Bible. You need to read the Bible. There are some Freat passages about judging others.
She’s always been my favorite. She’s a bit of the odd ball, like me. So glad she’s broken free. Go Jinger!! I support the new you 💯!
Is she really though, it just seems like a different old man telling her what to believe and how to live her life, are you really free if you live your life in fear and shame, adhering to rules that make no sense and you aren’t legally obligated to and to reject logic, reason and science, condone genocide, slavery, misogyny among many other atrocities and acts of cruelty and by following ‘the word’ you would have to by definition be bigoted towards certain groups of people or denying your true self. Doing good deeds because you want to go to the good place and be reunited with loved ones and not enjoying life and being yourself with your own beliefs because you don’t want to go to the bad place, that really doesn’t sound like freedom to me. Hope everyone is doing good and having a nice new year. X
Not odd. She just has her own voice.
I love how she kept her faith and relationship with Jesus while recognizing the lifelessness of religion.
Christianity comes from the heart not just been spoken you know anywhere she is i bet you she’s gonna be happy all through her life
You said it correct. Kept her FAITH. I feel sorry that her parents are so blinded to the religion they are in. It is so easy to just continue even if you feel some things are wrong. Prayers that the whole families eyes are opened.
See you hit the spot. There is Religion and there is Relationship. God gave His So. So we could have a relationship with Him! I am grateful I found the relationship!
What are you even talking about? She is still as religious as ever and her husband is a minister. He's not much better than the Duggars. Judgmental as hell. Same kind of doctrine with a different twist and clearly it seems to be tweaked a bit to accommodate his desire to be a Hollywood big shot.
Turning to an ancient book written by people to find answers in the 21st century. How in heck do you reach that conclusion? Sounds pretty clear that religion is the heart of her life. 😂
But that's great for her. All the more power to her. Great to see some of them waking up from that terrible cult programming.
@@asleepbydawn137 Yeah, you sound very bitter for whatever reason 😂 Negative much
She sounds so wise and level-headed. Good for her! Bravo, Ginger, bravo!
Well spoken and just stunning. So happy for you ❤
What a sharp, well-spoken, lovely young woman, inside and out 😊
Truly, reading your Bible is the very best way to straighten out what's biblical and what's false. I applaud😮 Ginger for sharing this.
Smart young lady! 🤩👍 I wish you the best, Jinger and family! 💖
She looks so healthy and happy. I'm glad she is on this positive journey.
Good for her for living her best life! She has truly blossomed over the years and I’m glad that she’s at peace with her faith and to be able to tell her sorry.
"living her best life's does not ring a bell with what a Christian life is.
Christians are waiting for the better life, eternal life. This life doesn't promise anything 'best', on the contrary, hardships, sorrow. The world hates true followers of Christ.
John 15:20-21 (KJV) Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep your's also.
But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
Jesus did not promise us the best life on earth.
Titus 2:12 (KJV) Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
When you following Christ, you are not living your life.
Matthew 16:24-27 (KJV) Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
John 12:26 (KJV) If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
So impressed with her grace with her family and with herself. What a strong and beautiful woman so proud of her.
Good for Jinger. She seems really happy.
I honestly say that you and Jill have become the best versions of yourselves do t let anyone devalue yourself for anyone cause God's got you on his side and will bless you always.
It helps that they married men who took them away from that scene. None of the Duggar boys will question their fathers teachings.
@@juliek5094 so very true there joy I've noticed has changed allot a lot she's not letting daddy dearest run her life she dose what she wants when she wants and nothing hold her back now.
@@juliek5094I think John David definitely does. He has made many snarky comments at Jim Bob (lol) and doesn’t seem to be accepting JB’s money, since he and his family live in a trailer.
Did the oldest sister get away? Jenna, I think her name was?
@@Denise_Suzanne, her name is Jana and, unfortunately, she still lives with her parents 😢
Love this and her willingness to learn and share ❤🙏
Amen sister! Loving Jesus and others is your OWN conviction. It shouldn’t be based on what someone else tells you. Thank you for writing and speaking about this. My husband and I went to a very legalistic church and it negatively affected us in many ways.
So deeply proud of you. You've overcome immense mountains of pressure, control, and fear. Your freedom inspires others, dear Jinger, as does your willingness to break the chains of oppression and live in your TRUTH. You are a light-bringer whose courage will inevitably support others in their pursuit of freedom.
You are a strong woman. Proud of you for speaking your truth.
This was a great story ! I grew up watching Jinger, I watched every episode of the Duggars and I couldn’t be more proud of who Jinger has become 💗💗
So glad that she broke free and is so open to the varieties in life. Good for you, Jinger!!
I'm so proud of you, Jinger. You are so beautiful inside and out. I hope you resolve your issues with your parents. Love you girl.
Good for her! Proud of how far you’ve come Jinger. I hope you stay curious and open minded, your resilience and growth is impressive.
So glad you got things figured out Jinger and didn't leave your faith. Excited to read your book!
Christianity comes from the heart not just been spoken you know anywhere she is i bet you she’s gonna be happy all through her life 😊
Love this video so much! Can’t wait to get her book. So impressed by Jinger and how gracious, careful, and yet respectful she is with how she describes her journey… she seems so grounded in who she is now, without needing to shame anyone. Love this!
You are beautiful inside and out Jinger. God is using you and you are open to that. Beautiful!
God is love and I’m so happy you have truly found that love! So proud of you!
So happy for Jinger!
She is absolutely beautiful inside and out. I am so glad she has gotten out of the cult that she grew up in. Definitely gonna read her book.
You are such a beautiful soul! You will surely inspire many by just being you and sharing your journey. WTG Jinger 🎉❤
Wow jinger I am so proud of you for sharing your journey you are so inspiring and brave 💜🙏🏽
I am so impressed by Jinger and her bravery and boldness. It is beautiful to see!❤
Jinger is a wonderful young woman. Hugs and love to all of them💗
I’m so happy for Ginger to come out the other side and be so strong. Ginger your girls are blessed to have you as their mother. To be able to experience things in life that you weren’t able to. So I give you so much credit and congratulations on your new book. ❤
I love seeing Jinger grow into her own version of Christianity and love God the way she sees. I love this!❤️
So wonderful to see this young lady speak so eloquently it's like watching the fog dissipate and her eyes open and make her own way in life I just pray blessings to her and her family always
Jinger you shine for the world to see and you reflect a mature and faith filled life. We are meant to be out in the world not of it. I’m so happy for you. You are blooming where you are planted.
I’m so proud of this young lady!!! ❤❤
Jinger, you’re a beautiful person!! Keep on your journey and continue to pave your path. This video was pure and the voice that you have now is a strong one.
Such wisdom. I can't wait to read her book.
Christianity comes from the heart not just been spoken you know anywhere she is i bet you she’s gonna be happy all through her life
She has grown so much spiritualy🙏❤️ Great interview.
I was very much blessed and helped by your family when they used to play your show from the very beginning on TLC. Your parents are so loving and the family had a beautiful dynamic. Thank you for sharing your family on TLC! You were the best program on TV at that time along with the Bates. I will always love your mom! And I believe you have learned your wonderful mothering skills from her! Praise the Lord!
I’m soooo proud of Jinger & Jill!!!! You girls ROCK!!!
Wow, I am really impressed by Jinger. She seems so self-aware and self-assured. It's wonderful to see. I had a feeling she would be the one to break free.
She is truly amazing!! Such a beautiful woman, mother, wife inside and out!! Such an inspiration to so many!! Much love to you Jinger, keep making waves in that no wake zone - we hear you - we all hear you!!!! ❤️🥰❤️🥰
Well done, Jinger. Youv brought life and light to your words in this peice here. Much respect and adoration for your very brave and courteous step forward and onto a new journey. You have brought hope and peace to so many simply by stepping up and out. God bless
I'm so proud of her 💕🥂
Jinger I'm so proud of you. Your book sounds like it will be good.
Jinger, I am so proud of you for finally seeing what Gods Word says and He Loves You. I will be praying for you and your family to keep seeking Gods plan for your journey in life. You are a Strong woman and deserve the best He has for you 🙏💝
I’ve never really followed or k own much about the Duggars, but stumbled up this today, and wow! What a delightful young woman! I really don’t see how any healthy Christian could argue with the theology Jinger currently embraces! It’s an exciting life when your faith journey reaches this place! 💖
I am so happy for her & am glad she is sharing her story
I’m glad she’s speaking out. I feel sorry for her younger siblings still living at home.
I AM SO PROUD OF THIS GIRL!!!
What about God though? Is He proud?
Yes your so proud that she left GOD for the devil
So incredibly proud of the woman you have become! Jinger you are such a wonderful person 😊
Good for you Ginger. I've watched your family from the start . I love how you have grown into your own person without being angry about things from the past. I do believe your parents did the best the knew how to. But I admire you for finding your own truths.. I really enjoyed this interview and look forward to reading your book. God bless you all
Im so so proud of you jinger. 👏 I pray that Anna and the kids have a great life, and that she will reach out to you and Jeremy one day
Love the interview. Jinger is so positive, and full of confidence. Her journey to the truth has been a long one.
Congratulations to Jinger on her book.
So proud of you Jinger!
So proud of her glad now she's open I can relate with because the church I once went through. So glad I opened my eyes and my mom realized we shouldn't be that God loves all of us regardless even those who condemn him. God doesn't look at what you wear it's all in ur heart you can where jeans etc.. glad I realized early one
Well done Jinger. Your growth has been an absolute pleasure to watch. I have no doubt that you will be the inspiration for others to start questioning ‘cult like’ religious control. I also have the utmost respect for you for respecting the privacy of your children. Children should NOT be used as content on social media until they are old enough to consent.
Good for her I’m so happy she is thinking on her own
So happy for her❤
I love this for her. So happy she found her way. Bravo
Christianity comes from the heart not just been spoken you know anywhere she is i bet you she’s gonna be happy all through her life
Keep going Jinger🙏🙏❤️
I say this with much Respect: It is Wonderful that you found Freedom in Loving God, and am proud of your Journey that gave you Insight for a renewed Spirit and Deeper Faith. God Bless your Precious Family and thrilled for your children to be raised by Parents who deeply love our Lord‼️ 😇 I'm grateful God brought You/Jeremy together to Share the Wonderful Message of His Love, Mercy and Grace. With Kind Regards, deb in Sunny🌦/Warm☔️ SC🏴
Such a gracious, articulate interview. Beautiful young lady. 😊
Absolutely lovely...such self awareness..
Definitely will be reading this book 📖
So excited for her book. She has come so far.
She's so beautiful and I'm so proud of her,. I grew up watching that show and always loved jinger so so much, probably the most. I even used to say that if any of those girls would get free and be okay it would be her. I'm so thankful she is okay. God bless her and her true heart.
Ginger has always been my favorite from watching 19 kids and counting. I'm so glad to hear that she has seen the light. I've ordered the book and I am excited to read the book. God bless you Ginger and I pray that you reach others who are living under the false doctrine and bondage.
Smart girl. Very glad she met Jeremy. They seem a wonderful fit.
Finding your definition of faith as a grown-up is a universal one and there is nothing like having a crisis of faith to move that process. Jinger speaks with authenticity about her journey. I think she can really help some people who are seeking answers of their own.
I'm so glad she got out & kept her faith!
Jinger has grown into a strong wise woman. She's def gonna be ok in this big ole world.
