EXCLUSIVE: JANA DUGGAR EXPLOITED BY JIM BOB, INSIDER SPILLS ON WICKED MOTIVE BEHIND UNUSUAL WEDDING

Thank God that Jana found someone outside the IBLP!!! They seem to really love each other and I wish them all the best! I'm glad she is moving to Nebraska and I hope that in time she will be able to reconnect with Jill as she, perhaps, will be able to see Jill's side of the story.

Unfortunately, if Jim Bob got any cash out of this wedding, he probably sent it right to another attorney for Josh

Since I heard of Jana getting married and see how different this wedding was, I fell for falsehood Jana was doing it her way. How could I be so naive. Jana has lived under this teaching for 34 yrs. She is the last one to deviate from IBLP TEACHING. She will do what POPS says to do and in that throw her sister Jill under the bus. I thought Jana would keep all of her sisters close, so I’ve just learned even for the love of her sister she will put pops the king ahead of the true teachings of Jesus Christ. Pops equals Hitler complex.

I came from a religious cultish background and upbringing. In 1996, however, I met Jesus and have been mostly set free from the mentality of works-righteousness. My father was a world-renowned, wealthy and very powerful narcissist. I was dominated and controlled by him most of my life. I believe that Jim Bob is also a serious narcissist. I still loved my dad after I was set free and came to terms with what he was. But he didn’t love/receive/value or accept me when I realized what he’d done to me and our family all of his life. The rejection Jim Bob punishes his daughters with is typical of a narcissist. I’d like them to know I respect and support and appreciate any of them who are blessed to shed the curse of their narcissist father

[@Blue-2-7]

I firmly believe these cu lts are the result of coun ter re form ation tac tics. The master mind re cruits "yes" men (very young believers, usually only a year into the faith and easily mani pu lated) to then do his bidd ing, and they have no idea who their leader actually is. Jim Bob could just be one of those "yes" men or he's been ini tia ted into the cl ub.

Jim Boob needs to realize that NOTHING he does tricks the general public into thinking that things have changed in Duggarland for the better. They haven't in my opinion/allegedly renounced the IBLP/Gothard teachings ergo they are still very much part of it. The Duggar's should be ashamed that they didn't give their daughter's a better education! At least the Bates were for higher education, so several of the daughter's went to college or higher education. What was Jana able to do, in regards to higher education, in her 16 years after graduating high school!? Jana wasn't allowed to get a degree. Jana wasn't allowed to have a paying job. She wasn't allowed to have a business, and I remember that she so wanted her own business upcycling and designing stuff to sell. History is history! Their history can't be erased. It's firmly in our minds and firmly on the web. We 100% believe Jill told the truth. Them trying hard to change our minds about Jill only leads us to even more know that without a doubt Jill told the truth about her life.

My personal opinion is that Jim Bob and Josh's actions have made it impossible to redeem the Duggar name. The time for that was when Joshy Boy was SA-ing his sisters. Instead, they tried to sweep it under the rug, and when it, inevitably, came out, they put the girls through even more and made the girls responsible for damage control. For me, there was NOTHING they could do to redeem themselves.

I think it's going to take Jana a few years to adjust to being away from the control of Jim Bob. Eventually, all the complex trauma she has experienced will come crashing down on top of her, and it will be a lot for her to handle. I have a feeling that by the time she reaches 40, Jana will come forward with her truth. Deconstructing your childhood faith takes years, but first, you need the space to start. For the first time in 34 years, Jana is going to have the space to feel and process everything she has been through. Give her some time. Im just glad she is getting away from her abuser Jim Bob. Just imagine how numb she has been and for how long to survive the abusive environment she's lived in.

I got out at 19 and am still deconstructing/healing 9 years later. It is a lot to unpack and haunts you for years. Not sure if I'll ever be 100% healed. Unfortunately Jana will have to experience this later in life. It is so sad that her father and the cult did all this damage to her.

As a wedding photographer myself (but not Jana's obviously) - there might be a lot of reasons for this including NDA's, inability to share beyond what the family approves, copyright, etc. I sometimes charge extra for a rights buyout where the client gets to control the images and where they appear. Since this channel makes money - she probably doesn't want the images used without her permission (versus she may have licensed the images to People/other publications) - I don't know if that makes sense, just my thoughts! As a photographer, you are supposed to vehemently defend your copyright to preserve all your rights in court now and in the future.

[@marynorman1729]

I figure she will receive whatever JB deems her worthy of. I guarantee he will keep the bulk of the money. Gotta keep paying to defend his pedophile son.

[@sheliadrennan653]

75.000$ people paid for this. I be signed something for some cash. Gee shes not employed how does she get anything

[@susanjoyce8053]

I wonder if Jana fell in love a long time ago and waited for him to realize he loved her. I wish her and Stephen years of happiness.’

[@Leeza-G]

Thank you, Katie. I appreciate your coverage of the Duggar girls/women. I remember when I first heard of the Duggar family show on TLC. It made me very sad to know they were being indoctrinated in this cult that diminishes the importance of women in our world and the many different roles they may choose in their lives. I’m in my 60’s and I have lived my life in a somewhat Christ like manner although I’m not religious and do not believe in a sky daddy ruling the universe. I like what Christ represents but I haven’t found to many Christians that I like or respect. They have cherry picked their buybull to fit whatever narrative they’ve chosen out of it. Yet they don’t live by what they preach. They just judge everyone else’s morals. They’re so afraid of educated women that they control them. My best wishes for all the women in these cults and that they find their wings and fly free. To find peace from the damage they endured. You cover this with the delicacy it deserves. Thank you. IMO, you deserve an award for your coverage of it. ✨💯✨

Keep up the good work Katie xxx

[@MurielMoore-c4v]

A few years ago I found your channel. As a former tv producer in a small market I wanted to say something meaningful to you because I thought you had that something special that few top market employees who call themselves journalists have now. These “reporters”are handed copy and read what they are given. It’s a sad truth about how former news operations have become little more than mouthpieces for the government. But Katie knew how to pursue a story, how to verify content and had all manner of insiders who would set her on a trail. I know the info doesn’t always amount to a “major story” but Katie was instinctive about how far to follow a story and when to leave it. I sent Katie some tips and it’s my belief that she accepted them. Anyone stating anything adverse about Katie’s ethics is sadly barking up the wrong tree. I follow her and continue to do so because I trust she has confirmed the story. I’d be shocked to learn she missed even a small detail. When she’s not reporting but gives her opinion she is clear that’s what she is doing. She’s top notch!

[@CatherineStarkey-t6h]

Thank you for sharing this info. People need to know the truth about the Duggars

[@marlenemartin3528]

You’re going to get criticized for anything you do good or bad. They are all smoke and mirrors. Not impressed with their performance. Jana does deserve happiness and shame on them. They’re probably loosing money.

[@KKonYouTube]

Mennonite faith??? They don't look like they're dressing Amish-adjacent. I'm happy for Jana finding her own happily ever after!

[@thekowboymom2710]

There's different sects of Mennonite. Some are very strict and some are quite modern. I grew up in a Chicago suburb and had a Mennonite church right down the street from my house. You would never have known they were Mennonite unless you asked them.

[@KKonYouTube]

@@thekowboymom2710 that's so interesting!! Thank you for sharing, I love learning about these expanded existences of groups. Its very interesting to hear Katie say that Mennonite is less strict than Duggar'S IBLP culture since I only knew of the amish-adjacent (for lack of better term) version of the mennonite community. 🙂

[@bbk2601]

I go to a Mennonite church here in Canada. There are many different schools of thought in the Mennonite churches here in my city. Our church congregation recently voted to affirm LBGTQ+. We were kicked out of our conference and are independent now.

[@KKonYouTube]

@@bbk2601 that's so cool to learn! Thanks!!!

[@amandahutton8459]

I worked with a Mennonite woman. She had a master's degree and was very independent. She also dressed "normally."

[@tinajensen5571]

Katie do you know what’s going on with Anna and her kids.

[@LeAnnConnell]

Well I was wondering why part of your previous videos were partly blurred out. I didn’t get to finish watching one of the videos because I was tired & went to rewatch from the beginning the next day & I remembered seeing wedding photos so I knew it was the wedding photos that were blurred. Thanks for explaining. I thought my phone was broken 😅

[@innocentnemesis3519]

Jennifer wasn’t a bridesmaid; neither was Josie. I imagine it’s hard to be besties with everyone when you literally have 18 siblings

[@WithoutACrystalBall]

that's not comparable at all.

[@stacyadkins5374]

Jennifer and Josie have been Jana’s job rather than a friend or confidant. Their relationship is not going to be the same as her relationship with sisters who are close to hrr in age.

[@princessalica]

@@stacyadkins5374 except Jodyn, who was included, is younger than Jennifer and basically the same age as Josie. I agree it seems weird for Jill to be excluded - It was always Jana and Jill as a set and Jessa and Jinger as a set.

[@gracemukemba6330]

Thank you somach for telling us the treuth and im realy happy that jill left this toxkick family i just hoop that janna will see the Light and run from this toxkick family

[@hard-truthsbetter-than-swe6543]

Only good part is the family cant keep using her as a slave, baby sitter, cleaner ,builder etc.

[@shadowscholar101]

Even the photographer is under Jimboob's control 😭 Jimboob is delusional to think we don't see through his lies.

[@janegirot1623]

I hope Jana and Stephen will have a great life they look happy

[@susanmoran692]

Now Jason can move into Jana’s She shed and have a bathroom! He probably already has.

[@pattycoe7435]

Katie, you’re still the best for this type of reporting. Don’t pay attention to the trolls.

[@CatherineHomer]

I will not forget, they are not redeemable!

[@carolbullard7956]

I hope you didn't take down the photos just because the photographer said to! I've been watching your channel for 5 years now & I will NEVER believe a single word that comes out of Jim Bob's mouth or his damage control! NEVER!!!! I'm so glad that Jana is moving far away from her Dad!!

[@user-zh7uy6oc5q]

This is an apology to Jana. Look at how much we love you. Don't tell our secrets. ❤

[@peggyknecht5551]

I wish Jana all the happiness in the world. I am so happy for her! Thank God she married someone outside of the IBLP.

[@sandraclayton4998]

I think I heard music with drums when they went into the reception. The horror!

[@karenadams882]

I wonder if they are going after pickles as well? People are never going to forget what happened in the Duggar family! I hope that Jana is happy.

[@stephaniegardner8586]

Have no respect for JB!

[@peggycampbell905]

I won’t buy People Magazine or watch TLC I am sick of these people. I hate cults.

[@allibyers7266]

Do the Duggars really think this new tactic is going to change people’s opinions about them or the IBLP? Just doesn’t make sense to me.

[@missquiinn6695]

Let's think about it for a second, while most people live at least 60 ish years away from their parents thumb, Jana may get 40ish years away from them

[@Quaker-tc8ue]

Let’s think about reality for a second. I’m a single female (never in a relationship), not yet 60, and recently moved in with my mother to care for her in her dying years, and she blessed me by changing her legal documents that i can stay in her place when she’s called Home. And i *know* I’m not the only person (of any gender) living with a geriatric parent, or created an in-law suite for a geriatric parent.

[@CatherineHomer]

Because he wants to remain in control!
