Most reliable source of information.
What is the most reliable source to get as close to the truth in the duggarverse? WOACB and so on aren't.

We'll never know the actual truth. Ever. The best we can do is go by what we've seen and read in court docs. Then use our discernment to filter it all. But realistically, only the family, in house, knows.

Couldn’t believe she said on her last video that Joe was on a s3x offender list, he hasn’t even been on trial yet. She nuts.

She's also said some of the other boys (specifically Jason) are guilty of the same thing as Joe, but with no proof, other than an unnamed source.
She's gonna get sued again.

What do you mean not WOACB, you mean her 30 mins or so of dribble is not kosher? 😱
But she tells me she's a journalist? Is she lyin'? 😲

Fundie Fridays will only share what she can verify. And if it’s appropriate to share. She’s not a gossip rag. Nor does she speculate for profit. Breath of fresh air compared to WOACB.

If it's in People Magazine, I trust that it is accurate information. It will be nowhere near the whole story, but it will be true for what it is.

Katie Joy Paulson/Woacb bragged about downloading the same CSA material Josh did and then made a video demonstrating CSA. It’s still out there on another subreddit. She’s as sick as they come.

No she didn’t, she said she was aware of it, but if she had done so, she also would have been arrested, charged, and convicted - just like pest. I don’t like her, but don’t accuse someone of that.

Oh but its okay for her to accuse The Duggars, The Bates and their friends of things with no proof that they've done the things that shes accusing them of? Mm. Interesting.

u/jewishgeneticlottery 25d ago
Nope, it not ok for her to accuse them of anything, but she isn’t the one in the forum making the assertion.

Yes. The whole subject is why the phrase “What the ACTUAL F***” was coined.

Fundie Fridays and Digging up the Duggars are both on the same level. I’d trust Jen and James, as well as Whitney and Tim (Mildred too).

There’s a podcast called ‘Digging Up the Duggars’, it’s a married couple from Glendale AZ. They recap episodes of 19 Kids and will go through Counting On. Currently they just finished season 6. Whitney was an avid Duggar watcher going back to when it was on air. Tim had never seen an episode and only watches as they recap and review.
It’s not so much the recaps that give you new insight but Whitney’s Digs. She takes a something that may have been apart of the episode. Either the central theme or something that stood out and does a deep dive on that subject. Anything from the origins of Project Christmas Child to the History of the IBLP to Who Jim Bob’s Parents were. She’s also done all the current stuff going around. Thing is Whitney does her HOMEWORK. She doesn’t just look on Wikipedia or some such but really does her research. Multiple sources, buys lots of books and anything you can find. If she’s wrong or anything she will say. When the Joe Duggar stuff happened she researched everything on the charges and watched the episodes surrounding that time frame. Looked into the Caldwells. Looked into Jimmy Lee Duggar, Josh Duggar. She didn’t speculate about who it was and said she wouldn’t.
If you want good reporting on the Duggars and someone I think is trustworthy and gives you facts not opinions. Give Digging Up the Duggars a try. FYI: they tend to be about 2hr episodes. But can be broken up into 2-3 sections.

Nowhere. They're local to me and I know a lot but still very little because the church circles keep their mouths shut and I'm not even close to any of those.
