“Their lifestyles and beliefs are so crazy backwards to me,” Kate told VICE in an email. “When I was in college, I started becoming really interested in religion and cults. I started reading Tumblr blogs about the Duggars, which led me down a deep (deep, deep) rabbit hole.” “Duggar Data uses statistics to reveal, quantify, and critique oppressive elements of fundamentalist evangelical Christianity,” they state on the site, “particularly, the Quiverfull movement and so–called ‘biblical patriarchy.'” The owner of the blog told VICE they mostly run the site for fun, but there is a deeper purpose that fuels their mission. Quiverfull is a fundamentalist Christian ethos that encourages procreation by essentially dictating that women should have babies until the Lord shuts down their womb. It's a hot topic in the online community most people in the "fundie fandom" seem vehemently against it.

Although the Duggars have denied being part of Quiverfull, they are followers of the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP), a non-denominational religious organization that's awfully similar. In addition to being called a “cult” by former followers, both Quiverfull and IBLP enforce strict patriarchal rules, like encouraging victims of sexual abuse to question whether or not it was their fault.This forum exists to point out the Duggar's shitty behavior.

Those kids lived in strict gendered division and slept behind locked doors "for safety". Imagine locking your door and being afraid of encouraging your brother to molest you through "improper dress". Jim Bob was also a politician and businessman.

The kids were conditioned to be props from early on and Josh cracked under the pressure.


( See Jessa’s YouTube Video.He was taught from a young age that he was a rape monster and couldn't control himself because he had male anatomy. Jed seemingly confirmed he had a “darling” during the Duggar Harvest Festival in November 2020.That restaurant is only ~5 Miles from the Nakatsus’ Home in Arizona-which they’ve since sold. Nando’s has a few locations, all in Arizona however, based on interior decor, Duggar Data is pretty sure they were at the Gilbert, AZ location. They stopped in at a local restaurant, Nando’s Cafe. Jed, Jer, Jim Bob, and the Vuolos were in Arizona over the weekend of May 23–24, 2020.She deleted her account sometime last year.) (It’s possible it was earlier than that, but the earliest mention of it either on Fundie Tumblr, FreeJinger, or Fundie Reddit was April 1, 2020… I’m pretty sure.) ( Note-Katey is no longer on Instagram. Jed + Katey were following one another on Instagram by April 1, 2020.I didn’t find a ‘smoking gun’ that revealed when the relationship began however, there are a few posts and observations worth noting. Digging deeper into this, I turned to social media.
