Austin's open support of the Pearls.
Oh shit I totally forgot about that.
I'll say one thing about Derrick that mofo doesn't hide his crazy.
Austin on the other hand seems way more insidious.
Even during their honeymoon JoyAnna was SO physically affectionate (because it was the first time in her life she was allowed to do so) and he was so weird about it.
His family has been on reality TV years before he started to go with a Duggar and it's pretty much set in stone...you're with a Duggar you ARE gonna be on tv.
Even after all the publicity about the Pearls being at Austin's parents camp, and all the shit JoyAnna was getting for it, they are still keeping them as speakers, says so much.
Poor JoyAnna.
I hope she doesn't end up like Anna.
That's what happens in fundie world.
You are never allowed to act like a normal teenager and develop relationships with the other sex, and it's drilled (or sometimes beaten) into you that all your natural feelings and desires are sinful, not pure and horrible.
People like that have no idea what love is with a significant other.
They love the false idea of marriage that has been drilled into them, that it is the best and highest thing you can do.
All they know is someone is paying attention to me.
You meet someone and then you can't even be alone with them, truly get to know them or truly touch them until after the marriage.
And it's only then you learn the true identity of your spouse.
Knowing people for years is not the same in fundie world.
I'll definitely give Ben this...he and Joe seem to really love their spouses and respect their wishes. And how Ben puts up with Jessa's attitude, I'll never know.
I don't know what to think about Jill because Derrick wasn't like this when they met, he has a education and had a job,his Mom and Step Dad are nowhere near fundie and seem like good people.
I don't know much about the other brothers relationship,looks like they married yesterday.
