For years, Jim Bob Duggar was one of the most popular figures in the world of evangelical media.
Those days are long gone, of course, as a series of scandals has exposed the father of 19 as the opportunistic con artist that he is.
Jana Duggar and her twin brother John David both turned 32 on January 12.
This is significant for a number of reasons:
As a general rule, saying mean things about people on social media is a very bad thing.
But if there was ever a group of individuals who deserve to get roasted for everything they post, it's the Duggars.
Jana Duggar can't help it.
Although she's trying very hard to help it.
Jana Duggar is not Josh Duggar.
That much is for absolute certain.
No one is happier to say goodbye to 2021 than Jana Duggar.
While her brother's scandal might have made more headlines, Jana was also arrested last year, and we're sure she's very eager to put the matter behind her.
If you're like most people, you probably weren't too upset at the prospect of saying goodbye to 2021.
But no matter how rough this past year was for you personally, you can take some solace in the fact that the Duggars probably had it worse -- and several members of the family deserved every ounce of the pain they experienced.
It's been almost a month since Josh Duggar was convicted of possessing and receiving child pornography.
Over the course of the trial, the world learned a great deal about the inner workings of the Duggar family and the culture of abuse that enabled Josh to get away with so much for so long.
Just one day after Josh Duggar was convicted of receiving and possessing child sex abuse materials, his family was embroiled in yet another scandal.
And while this one was far less severe, there was no mistaking the fact that on the heels of Josh's trial, it received a great deal of negative attention.
Jana Duggar has broken her silence.
A few days after the public learned that the second-oldest of Jim Bob and Michelle's kids was charged in September with child endangerment, Jana has decided to tell her side of the story.
This is a very dark holiday season for the Duggar family.
In addition to Josh being convicted on child pornography charges, some unexpected drama involving Jim Bob and Michelle's eldest daughter will soon have the family back in court.
Throughout Josh Duggar's child pornography trial, Amy Duggar made it clear that she believed her disgraced cousin was guilty, and that she hoped he would be convicted.
Usually without mentioning him by name, Amy repeatedly called Josh out as irredeemably evil, suggesting that locking him up for life was the only way to stop him from claiming more victims.
Last Thursday morning, Josh Duggar was convicted on two counts of child pornographhy possession.
He faces up to 40 years in prison.
A couple of months ago, fans were wondering if Jana Duggar was stepping back from some family duties.
The Duggars have had a lot on their plates as they braced themselves for Josh Duggar's well-deserved conviction.
The Josh Duggar child pornography trial entered its closing arguments stage on Wednesday.
Jury deliberations may start as early as this afternoon, and for many, the fear that Josh will be acquitted is more potent than ever.
Last week, the Duggar family confirmed what most of their fans had suspected for quire some time:
Jeremiah Duggar and Hannah Wissmann are courting, a secret that was poorly kept in the weeks leading up to the announcement.
The Duggar family has always hidden many of the details of their private lives from the public.
But these days, they're more secretive than ever -- and with good reason.
There aren't many breakups within the sad, insular world inhabited by the Duggars.
Divorce is punishable by exile, and couples who begin the courtship process wind up getting married in the vast majority of cases.
In recent months, the vast majority of the coverage surrounding the Duggar family has had to do with Josh's arrest on child pornography charges.
Needless to say, that's not exactly uplifting content.
For most of their lives, Jana Duggar and her sisters have adhered to a strict set of guidelines with regard to their attire.
Over the years, the infamous Duggar dress code became one of the most notorious aspects of life under Jim Bob's oppressive regime.
Jana Duggar has become more mysterious than ever in recent months.
For a while, Duggar fans were abuzz with the news that Jana was bring courted by Stephen Wissmann, a Nebraska-based businessman, musician, and amateur pilot.
Earlier this year, despite her family's best efforts to conceal the news, word got out that Jana Duggar was being courted by Stephen Wissmann.
It was a development that fans of the family had been waiting for ever since Jana reached adulthood.
Anyone who's even passingly familiar with the Duggar clan knows that the family follows a very strict set of rules designed to ensure that all sexual encounters take place within the confines of marriage and for the purposes of procreation.
Of course, these days, the Duggar approach to human sexuality has been exposed as deeply flawed and psychologically damaging.
When the word got out that Jana Duggar was being courted by Stephen Wissmann, fans were overjoyed.
After all, they had been waiting the better part of a decade for the eldest Duggar daughter to meet and marry Mr. Right, and now, it looked as though their patience had been rewarded.
