This clip about her and just everything in General about the new show has such a forced vibe to it. Like TLC is trying too hard to create a new image for the older duggar children. I liked it when it was 14 kids and pregnant again. The kids were more honest and less scripted. Now the show is all about trying to make the haters really believe that the duggar daughters do have choices and have not raised thier siblings.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-35217557698186645112016-03-26T19:59:14.141-05:002016-03-26T19:59:14.141-05:00Well said Kathryn, "Jana seems like a sensibl...Well said Kathryn, "Jana seems like a sensible woman" It seems to me she'll have NO PROBLEM making life choices for herself.KIM FROM VERMONTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-88374462218471234802016-03-26T04:44:30.613-05:002016-03-26T04:44:30.613-05:00I wonder how much of these shows are actually stag...I wonder how much of these shows are actually stagedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-49601447273738018432016-03-25T22:57:55.816-05:002016-03-25T22:57:55.816-05:00He is a religious leader that teaches God wants yo...He is a religious leader that teaches God wants you to be rich.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-89292518371633709252016-03-25T20:04:13.109-05:002016-03-25T20:04:13.109-05:00The question is, did you choose to stay home until...The question is, did you choose to stay home until marriage, or did you feel that it was expected, despite the fact that you were an adult?

I moved out at one point before getting married and had an apartment but because I lived alone, I became a target for a crime. So I moved back in and stayed with my parents till I met Gods match for me. It's not just necessarily being independent but being safe too. Women alone are easy targets for criminals in today's society. I was glad to go back home because I lived in fear after that. So kudos to Jana and the "backward" Duggar family.

My youngest child's desire was to be a U.S. Marine.And, he was a very dedicated Marine.Hes now in charge of a large Super Max Prison. He's 42 yrs.old, making 6 figures a year and will retire with a great pension at age 44 !!Had I insisted that he do what "I" wanted it may have turned out differently. Jana is a sensible woman who seems very content with her life.Her parents are not "holding her to the homefront". Jana has a sweet spirit and will make choices that are right for her.We'll just sit back and wait for those choices to unfold.God bless you, Jana.KateRaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235307711118930339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-76199166720781737092016-03-25T10:53:32.669-05:002016-03-25T10:53:32.669-05:00It is sad to me that in 2016 I'm repeatedly re...It is sad to me that in 2016 I'm repeatedly reading the phrase "waiting for the right man to come along". I think that is a real set up for disappointment. How about we say that we should live our life to the fullest and hopefully meet someone along the way that we would love to share our lives with. As a young girl, the fairy tale component to these comments is unsettling. Are we not fulfilled until we are wives and mothers? Do our lives not start until we meet the "right one"?Faithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-50985675179637744772016-03-25T10:37:02.893-05:002016-03-25T10:37:02.893-05:00I hate when people assume things about others.

However, I have a special space for Jana and Michaela. I am so excited that we are seeing Jana in different roles and expressions. For example, while she is still quiet and humble I was able to see a bit more of her natural self - maybe a little Godly (or controlled) feistiness - come out which is okay and good. I agree with others she is awesome and wise. I also think she will know when the right one (man) comes along for her.

It wasn't because that's what I did or because I am narrow minded. If you stopped yourselves long enough to not be so easily offended you would have then been able to comprehend what I said. It can be very beneficial to be on your own for a few years. To know how to support yourself--pay your own bills--make your own choices and decisions. Travel--on your own! Find a Church where you can worship the Lord and find friendships that are not dictated by "this is what my family said is right". Those years I spent on my own allowed me the time to cement within myself what and why I believe as I do. I had the freedom to respectfully agree and/or disagree with co-workers, friends, family and even church members on various topics. Being on your own generally allows for less narrow mindedness. That was my "wish" for Jana. Freedom to grow in who she is as an adult 26 year old woman.

Either you realize that your expectations are too high and no guy is that perfect (a valuable lesson), or else you find that there are a lot of really nice guys out there who all have good qualities (another valuable lesson). Staying home waiting for Prince Charming to show up is for fairy tales. And waiting for your father to find someone for you is for the 1800's. "Happily ever after" is YOURS to find and yours alone!
