I had mentioned to my friend that I was number 37 on the waitlist in the library to read your book. The library only ordered 18 copies.She surprised me yesterday by buying me your book and I am so grateful to her. I can’t wait to read it.
Lucky. I was number 300 on a waitlist when I tried to get a hold with my library 😂 that was before the book was even released! I ended up just buying it because I couldn’t wait that long. I just now checked the waitlist again out of curiosity and it had me at number 891!
@@emerald_rabbit 😮 oh my goodness. So glad you now have it. I would have probably have had to wait till after Christmas to read her book. It’s so good that it’s in high demand
Jill and Derick!! ❤
Horrified to read what you endured but I must say your kindness, grace and heart still shine.
Keep going, youre unstoppable.
Congratulations Jill and Derick! I'm glad Jill met Derick. ❤
Jill, you look absolutely stunning. I'm so proud of you! Any parent would be so blessed to have a daughter like you and a son in law like Derick ❤
I can't believe some of the negative comments that I'm seeing here!! Read the book before throwing your shade out there!! You might be surprised!! I'm planning on reading both Jinger's and Jill's books when the newness and the hype dies down (much quicker and easier to get the books if I wait it out a bit)!!
Shut up bro
Life's tough get a helmet
Read your book, loved it. I was at a different angle of the Bill Gothard movement. I was a young Christian mum that wanted the best for her children. I looked at the home school IBLP and even tried blanket training for all of five minutes, I ended up picking up my baby and crying.
I did continue to home school but did not use the IBLP and as most of the Christians around me were, I felt like a “second class “ home school Christian.
I found myself people pleasing these Christians, trying to prove I was as good as them. Working myself into an early grave and forgetting to teach boundaries for myself and my children.
I'm so glad that your book is doing so well... it's important that the world is made aware of how detrimental a cult like upbringing is on children in these families. To sacrifice your own children to maintain your power, greed fame. I'm encouraged to see you working your way out of this tangled web of deceit. It's going to be a long road but you are a strong woman who has a loving supportive husband by your side. God bless you and keep you safe.
Y’all are beautiful inside and out. Kind, smart, strong. Hope you make millions of dollars all on your own. ❤
Loved your book! It validated my feelings of how some Christian parents often try to control their adult children even after they’re married. We all have our own journey with Christ, and no two journeys are alike! Also, I apologize for all the counter operatives that have been sent to post on your video. May they will read your book and have a higher calling!
I just finished the book the other day and I couldn't put it down! I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to read how far you've come and what an amazing and supportive husband Derick is. As a Christian who struggled for many years due to fear and abuse it was nice to see I'm not alone. Keep reaching for the stars Jill, you are loved by so many!
Yes u are right
Thank you both for sharing. This is a lesson of personal freedom for everyone. Many cultures coral their children without teaching or offering choices. Your bravery and honesty are appreciated. Congratulations on your book!
So proud of you and Derrick. I'm happy you have been able to work with a therapist and have grown in to happy, healthy adults.
I am so happy for you Jill! With tears of joy in my eyes🥲! God has really blessed you and your family through it all! It is true, what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger. Don’t worry about who isn’t supporting you, praise God for those who are in your corner and appreciate you for you! This is your story, but because you exposed your journey it extends itself to all the other individuals who have suffered in a similar way. Boy, I admire your strength! Keep on keeping on🙏🏽❤️😊!!!
LOVED your book! Beautifully written, touching, and infuriating!
I’ve always loved the show as a child and to know what has been happening behind closed doors I’m so unbelievably sorry for supporting the trauma… I adore you guys so so much💖
I’ve followed you and your family from the beginning. I always thought your family was different, but interesting to watch. I remember reading in your parents’ book about how you were raised. At first, I admired your parents. Then, the stories began coming out. I’m so sorry for what you and your siblings went through. No wonder it was so hard when you began advocating for yourself. Derick has been such a wonderful husband to you. You sure hit the jackpot. I read your book in one evening, and you were very courageous in sharing your story. I hope you find the healing and happiness that you deserve.
Wishing you great success on your book, Jill! ❤
So proud of you, Jill! I listened to your book on Audible in one day. I really wanted to hear the words straight from you. I loved it and I'm so glad that you were able to speak your truth!
I'm extremely impressed with how mature, respectful, self-aware and articulate you and your husband are as you process the choices your parents made for you. Your dad should have paid all of you for your work. To declare on tax forms to the IRS that you were paid, when you were not is very deceitful... and probably a crime to the IRS of fraud. I'm so glad you and your family seem to be so mentally healthy and able to be free and to set appropriate boundaries where necessary.
I listened to the entire 7 hour book in 1 day. It was EXCELLENT. Proud of you.
Jill and Derrick, I read and enjoyed your book in 2 days! I couldn't put it down!
I am so glad that you have each other and the Lord for this tough journey you guys have been through! I hope that the rest of your lives seem easy in comparison. God bless you!
Loved your book Jill!
Couldn’t put your book down!!! Finished it in 2 days!! Great Job, Jill!! Your strength and courage is awe inspiring!!!
I commented before watching the video due to the caption I must add you look stunningly beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Derrick and Jill compliments each other perfectly! God knew what he was doing with this here union ❤❤❤ The boys are super handsome. Phenomenal job❤❤❤
Just listened to Audible. Loved hearing the words from your own voice. We all have to make adult choices as we come into ourselves and still hear the word of God. Thank you for that. Truth with the thorns!
Thrilled to have supported you by purchasing a beautifully told story of your personal truth. God bless your family, Jill. Thanking God that he sent Derrick into your life. The truth will always set you free!
Jill you are my hero! Thank you for taking this on and writing your book. I, like many others, assumed the older Dugget kids were getting paid for their involvement as adults...such a controlling, greedy situation. I could not stop reading the book..very well done. God bless you both!!
I cried reading your book, but I’m so glad I read it. Wishing you guys only good things going forward ❤
I just received your book today. I'm so proud of both of you, you have grown up so much before our eyes.❤❤❤❤
Congratulations Jill and Derrick , I hope your siblings will one day wake up and stand beside you !
Thank you for sharing your story with us. It was so good to hear your side of the story coming from you instead of other sources. It makes me happy knowing that you were able to find your true self! Your bravery and courage are outstanding!
You go girl...!!! Honest and brave.❤ Love your book. ❤ Blessings from Norway// Trude
I'm really happy for and proud of you both. It took massive strength to stand up the way you did. May the seeds you plant now multiply and may your story help other children be protected.... protected from cults, reality TV and exploitation at every level. I think it's amazing how God has given you a platform that helps bridge a divide. No matter where we stand in life, yours is a universal story that is relatable to different people, for different reasons. You are a very special couple.
Loved your book, read it in a day, couldn’t put it down. God bless your family, all of them. Speaking the truth often hurts, but also heals. Thank you for allowing us a glimpse into your life and journey, it’s so helpful to so many❤
Read your book, last week, very eye opening, so sad what you went through Jill. You have overcome so much, you have a lovely supporting husband in Derek, and three adorable sons. Life for you is looking great, well done both of you.
i remember Frank!! he was on the show a couple times, glad you guys kept in contact, he always seemed pretty cool
Jill I wanted to say I have followed you and your husband since the beginning.i always looked forward to seeing u every week and got very bummed when you stopped posting on your UA-cam that was your right but you were missed .I really adored your vacation videos videos .Jill you and your husband seem to get older but you both seem to look a lot younger. So proud of both of you and I look forward to reading your book .God Bless you and your beautiful family 😊
I listened to the audio book, amazing story, and I'm happy that you shared it with the world.
I’m so happy for you, Jill. Your voice is important to showing how you can stand up for yourself and recognize spiritual abuse while loving, honoring, and trusting Jesus! I’m loving reading your book.
How fun to have a business trip in NYC! Everybody going crazy for Pumpkin Spice apparently. 😅 Your book is so well written and the title is so clever. Congrats on all the success! 🎉
Finished it yesterday, well spoken ❤️❤️ great read I couldn’t put it down
So happy for you, Jill and Derrick!
Congratulations 🎉 I listen to your audio version in a day. Thank you for reading it yourself. You did such a beautiful job. Way to go Jill. Prayers and love to your beautiful family. ❤
just listened to whole book on audible today.. so good! So proud of you❤❤😂
So proud of you Jill with this book
You are so brave. You may have turmoil in your immediate family, but you have gained a MUCH larger family in the process of living your truth. You may not know me all that well, but my husband and I stand beside you 100%. If you're ever in the Northeast Kansas area, let us know! You are welcome here. You should be so proud of yourself and the example you are setting for your kiddos!!! Sending you and your family all the love in the world!!!
Amazing! I bought it the other day on Amazon and I've read it each night... staying up too late😂
Jill has a way with words.
For anyone being negative.
Read the book with an open mind.
This book isn't what some may think.. it's her realization that there was serious issues in the church her parents raised her in.
Issues the show brought along..as well.
She actually explains well and shows the love and respect she has managed to keep for her parents... along with forgiveness...
So happy you found your voice and was able to share it with the rest of us. ❤
Love you guys..you deserve all the success.
So brave of you. I’m so happy you found the strength to speak your truth. You guys are such a lovely couple.
Should say 'THE' truth or else it's just an opinion.
Congratulations on your book. It’s amazing ❤ I hope you sell millions of copies.
Thank you for sharing your story Jill and Derrick ❤ as someone who was raised evangelical Christian with some iblp teachings, and had a similar incident within my own family, i relate so much. It is important to speak truth to power. Thank you for exposing this cult. Can't wait to get your book
Finished your book last night! Loved it, great read. Live fearless, girl ❤ Fun fact: my maiden name is Dillard and I married a guy named Derek 😊
I put a hold on it at the library. I can’t wait to get it and read it.
❤❤❤ so PROUD if ya Jill!!! Keep speaking YOUR TRUTH!!!
I was raised the same way pretty much that you were Jill. We weren’t associated with IBLP and we couldn’t cut our hair, wear jewelry, had to wear dresses, no make up…etc. My husband was raised the same way. I’m so glad that you found your voice. When my daughter was in the 3rd grade I went to school for a program (I didn’t homeschool mine) but we still practiced the way e we were raised. She was a tomboy and she was turning flips up on stage (not a part of the program 😂) but I came home and told my husband that I would ńot go against him, but we needed to pray about letting her wear pants to school because all those dads were there. We studied and prayed and realized that we were following a lot of man’s traditions instead of the Bible. I still wore dresses all the time, then a few years later I started wearing them around the house and you could not have paid me to go out of the house because of what people would think. That’s been 30 years ago and occasionally if I’m running to our local DG and it’s cold I’ll leave them on. I’m 57 years old and I still deal with that in my head. I recently started therapy and it’s helping. I can’t imagine what it’s been like for you living all this in the public eye. You’ve definitely given me courage. I’m loving the book so much. My dad verbally and mentally abused us, and then get behind the pulpit and we were threatened within an inch of our lives if we didn’t put on these big smiles and act like the perfect little family. We were physically abused at times. I’m ok with a spanking but not belts, sticks, whatever he could get his hands on.
Hello. We are so proud of you , Jill, and your family. We wish you all the best !!! Down the Rabbit Hole At Bedtime sent us!!! ❤🙏
shout out DTRHAB!
I’ve been listening to your book. I’m sure this was so difficult to write, being that you love your parents, but you did such a wonderful job. I loved listening to your voice on it because the feelings come through in your voice. May God bless your journey. I also started Jinger’s book. I’m happy for you that both have been set free from so many rules. God wants us free! I have watched your story from the beginning. I even have a Thank you card from you and Jessa for gifts I sent you when you got married! I pray that all the rest of your family break free from this spirit of religion. Love you!
Nanapam1267, That was so sweet vof you to send gifts !!!! I would have too if I was able to but unfortunately I can't b/c I'm a Paraplegic with little funds to support me. But anyways,,, It's so sweet of them also to write Thank You notes back to you!! That's so Awesome!!!
Im so proud of you guys! I can’t wait to read your book ❤
i bought your book yesterday finshed it tonight i may read it agian it opened my eyes so much to thing i never understood
I would be proud to have you as a daughter! Your book is being delivered tomorrow!
Many blessings upon you and your faymily!❤❤❤
Oh wow my name is Tonya too. I'm a long time fan so i ordered your book so I would get it the first day. (I rarely buy books new) Many times while reading it I cried. My heart broke for you. I watched the show for years and never once considered that the show could be harming you or causing harm to any of the kids. I feel so guilty for having participated in something that caused you pain and trauma even if it was indirectly. Even before reading this book I have prayed for you Jill several times the last few years. I prayed many times specifically for you during Josh's trial. And I continue to pray for your road to healing and for some kind of healthy relationship with your parents and siblings (if possible) moving forward. I'm so glad you're finding your voice and will be first in line if you write another book!
Congratulations so Happy for both of you. Ordered my book’s excited for you both . Pace yourself media tours are hard and tiring sometimes, but you both know that. God bless you and your family 🌸🙏🌸
I’m so proud of u I’m a Christian too been watching yall for years
Down the Rabbit Hole sang praises for the book and I've ordered my copy. But i have admired you and Derrick for years. It's not easy to strike out on your own to create a life different from that which you are raised in. So proud you both chose a path that works fr your beliefs and family. Those are the choices that in the long run will matter. Be happy, you deserve it.
I watched you grow up on tv Jill and I loved that show! I’m so sorry for what you went through and I hope to read your book. I hope to read Jingers book as well. Take care!
You two are the epitome of teaching how to honor God with the way you live, and it means so much more than just preaching. Believe me, you are reaching more hearts this way. God bless you and your family.
Hugs to yall. Jill, you're so courageous. The book was fantastic. Fantastic job 👏
Congratulations Jill! Telling your story was so brave. I’m glad to see what a success it’s been. Still awaiting my copy from the library, but I’ve been following channels reviewing your book. You’re fierce and courageous and bold, as a Christian I admire those traits.
So proud of you Jill! I have your book in Kindle format and audio book! ❤ It was so good!
Wait a minute what baby 😮😮😮😮😮 Do Jill have 3 boys now??? I feel like I’ve missed soooo much 😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I think he is three to six months old now?
They had a uterine rupture while having Samuel so they had to wait a long time for her body to heal before having another kid.
@@MandieTerrier Born July of last year.
Just read the book last week and loved it! Excited to see how God continues to use you to share his message.
Your book was incredible. Thank you for sharing your story! I listened to the audiobook and was riveted.
I finished your book😊. So proud of you and Derrick. Wishing you all the best for the future.
Yesterday I went to buy the book and it was sold out !!! How great is that ?!? I'm a persistent thing so sooner or later that book will be coming home with me but in the meantime I'm just so happy for you, may you continue always to experience peace, happiness and joy with each new day.
p.s. loving and living for those happy little Freddy noises in the background every here and there throughout this vid xoxo
So happy for you ❤
Congratulations on the book ❤
Jill read your book and so proud of you!
I am #248 in line at my library to listen to your audiobook here in Canada. I can’t wait! It’s getting good reviews!!!! 🤩
Ordered both a paper and audible copy of your book. Thank you so much for your book and the love that clearly radiates for your family, whether it be your husband and boys to your parents and siblings. You’re an awesome momma, wife and and the love of God truly shows in you. ❤
Same here.
Jill you are beautiful! Love your hair. The older you get the prettier you have become ❤. Keep it up. Love you and Derrick❤

I'm so happy the Universe has blessed this couple with opportunities to get Jill away from that Cult. So proud of Derrick and Jill. They are in a unique position to help others and are doing exactly that !!!
I am so proud of you two. There is nothing like being able to tell your story and your truths without someone stopping you. Awesome job and I can see this peace in both of you. Love you both.
I'm so proud of you sweet Jill & hubby. I see the serious needed healing in your face. I have happy tears for your courage to write this book & sad tears for what you went through. Hope to see more of you on utube. Bless you, hubby, & children.❤🎉

"Down the Rabbit Hole" sent me here. DTRH is THE BEST UA-cam channel in sharing all good vibes about the book. So proud of you Jill!
Me too!! We support you Jill ❤
I agree DTRH is the best!
Congrats on the book! Just finished the audio version. Hearing the emotion in your voice got me. I think you’ll help many with your book, it’s amazing. Also, were you holding up Dave Ramsey’s podcast on the plane?!
Cool video. Are you two going to come to Chicago any time soon? I would love to meet you!
Please don’t chew gum on your videos Jill & Derrick.
Thank you
Hello. Here from Down The Rabbit Hole at Bedtimes channel recommendation to show we support you. ❤
Down the rabbit hole is reading parts of your book on her channel she loves you guys ! Pleases write a cookbook I’m still making your minestrone from years ago ! 🌸📕🌸
You legitimately made the New York Times best sellers list!!! CONGRATULATIONS 🎊 👏 💐
During a vlog it might be nice to hear more of your thoughts and how you are feeling, more detailed insights about what its like to be interviewed and to go to a book signing - rather than just “we went here” “we are leaving for here” or just silent b-roll … which is kind of boring for the viewer. Hope you don’t mind the feedback😊
Lovely to see you back on UA-cam and looking so amazing.
I read it yesterday. Well done!
So exciting!
I love your book, Jill! You’re an incredible woman for girls to look up to and that’s coming from a 45 yo liberal lady❤. I send all my love to you and your sweet family. Congratulations 🎉
I finished the book in less than 48 hours. What a great testimony of finding the true loving God! Also letting all the ads play for you guys! 😂
