The Wissmann Family


JermajestyDuggar

Recommended Posts

I'm starting to feel really bad for the Wissmanns. There are people on both the Wissmann account and Stephen's new account on Instagram directly asking if he's dating Jana. I thought that was against the rules of fundie snarking? You're not supposed to engage the fundies directly about things like this. Right?

I think us snarkers usually stay out of their comments but at this point the story about her and Stephen has reached a whole bunch of tabloids and therefore is also known by fans. A lot of fans usually have no problem in asking them things point blank on their ig comments.

Yep. We have a spot to talk and speculate, the fans go directly to the source. They likely feel much more comfortable interacting with these folks. Think of someone like that Tikka person who sends the Bates gifts, clothing, babbles and lunch. Would anyone here do that? I sincerely doubt it.

Three of these are from Stephen's public account and one is from the main Wissmann account.

I dislike what the Fundies stand for as much as everyone here on FJ. I think these people are a threat to invidivual liberties (like abortion rights, gay right, trans right and the likes). YET, I'd never touch the poo like that!

''Tell us, we are bored''. Geez people.

I mean, Stephen could just turn off the comments ??‍♀️

Yeah, he could. But people could also not be rude too and I don't see that happening anytime soon...

It's so cringe. I hope to god all of the people doing this are 14-year-old girls, but you know that there are plenty of actual adult women doing it.

The secondhand embarrassment is real.

I maintain the first rule of snarking and the first rule of fandom are the same, and that is: do not break the fourth wall

I don't feel sorry for them at all. When you lie down with dogs....(my apologies to all the dogs in the world)...and all that. 

While people deserve privacy, that comes with a responsibility - they need to leave people be as well. And they are big proponents of shouting their religion to the world, asked for or not. I think of their social media like I do the blogs - you can't put your crap "out there" and then cry persecution/trolls/whawhawha when responses are not all sunshine & roses. 

As for the people posting that stuff-that's kind of a different story. They're not engaging, they're just saying crap for reaction. Which I don't see as "bad" as in a character flaw,  just not exactly wise, or useful. Mostly, they keep bombarding with that and IG / wherever else they're doing it, will go private and they'll never know anything.

I think that if you have a public social media page with comments turned on, then you need to expect that the public will comment. It's that simple really. If you want the public to see you but not hear from them, then turn the comments off. If you only want your friends to comment and your content is just for people you know, then go private. It's not rocket science so I don't have much sympathy for them when they're bombarded by nosy people.

That being said, the comments are super tacky and obnoxious. But so are many of the comments from their fans at any given time ?‍♀️

No one would be commenting on Stephen’s Instagram if his family didn’t post their lives on social media. One of his sisters posted a video with Jana in it. If she hadn’t done that, none of this would be going on. Maybe they will be more private in the future if they care that much. But my guess is that JB is making them keep quiet. We know he can get large amounts of fundies to stay quiet about lots of things. It’s sick how much power he has.

In terms of the rules, FJ doesn't want their members trying to talk to fundies. Unless someone here says I tried to talk to fundies, then we have no way of enforcing that.  If they say they want to reach out or have reached out, we can talk to them or downvote them or try to get to see our point of view. Hovever there is no real way to keep people from reaching and asking questions. If the platform and the users of that platform, allow random people to comment then they can say what they want.

But aren't a lot of fundies suspicious of announcing a courtship too early in case it falls apart?

I’m sure some are. But I would bet big money these decisions are being made by JB. He’s Jana’s headship before marriage. So what he says goes.

We cannot enforce, nor would we want to, what people do on their own.  However, what we do not allow is going off to poke the fundies and then coming back here to talk about it.

Some other boards have rules like that and some others do not.  It's only common sense though that with enough poking the spider, the spider may go down it's hole and pull a rock over the entrance.

I always wonder what they expect. Do they really think that they are not confirming anything via TLC or People magizine or any other medium but Stephen will tell a stranger: 'Yes, we are courting'?

Well...Think of Alyssa’s supplier, Tikka. This woman sends the family lunch to their doorstep. I’m sure she thinks (and maybe she’s correct here ) that she is Alyssa’s friend. These kind of people don’t see themselves as “strangers.” And actually, if Alyssa is willing to take clothing, food etc. from Tikka, shouldn’t she consider her at the bare minimum, an acquaintance?

But doesn't that illustrates more of Alyssa's character (and her willingness to get free sutff from strangers)? I'm sure once you are in the public eye, even as a D-list celebrity like the Duggars or Bates, tons of people will ask you weird questions, send you stuff, etc. I think the leghumpers have proven that they have no shame whatsoever. But how the ''celebrity'' reacts, well that is their own choice and action.

I ~think~ Tikky actually is their friend. I remember some Instagram stories that Josie and Katie posted going shopping with her. I still think that the amount of stuff she sends them is a bit excessive and weird but we honestly have no proof that she’s not their friend.

Yes, absolutely. Grifting is their MO. Now in this area her parents trained her well.

That's rich of you, considering that some of the people "directly asking" are named "reba" and becky_m"

Really, Becky/Reba from Pennsylvania?? You really think we can't smell your multiple social media accounts a mile away?

This is why I shouldn't take breaks from social media and FJ. I am TOTALLY behind on the Duggar-Wissmann connections. Can someone explain the potential courtship(s) and how this knowledge came about? I can't say I'm surprised -- their ideologies are similar. How old is Stephen? Isn't Jana a bit older than he is? Honestly, I'd be very happy to see Jana get married and move on to her own life. The Duggars make me sick, and the way Michelle turned Jana into a free second mother made me stop following the family (even as snark) all together.

      I love baseball but I'm dreading the new season because the White Sox ownership is THE FUCKING WORST. I watched Dominican League Baseball (Lidom!) over the winter and fell in love with their joy, spirit, and exuberance. The broadcasts were in Spanish and my Spanish is pretty weak but I loved catching phrases and repeating them. Bombe! I'm sad about MLB and Commissioner Idiota's busywork rules. But I love baseball, always and forever.
      I guess I don't have a point. Just bitching. Te amo mucho, Lidom!

      Happy International Women's Day!

      Humanity may have some work to do, to improve gender equality, but I was glad to hear that France has taken an important step to protect healthcare for women (and people of other genders who can get pregnant). 
      (The links are just to a UN page and the AP News.)
      Anyhow, love to y'all!

      Feeling ragey this morning. I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon in the hope of getting help for an ongoing injury. I went to a (different!!) doctor late last year who completely blew me off. He wouldn't do diagnostic testin, he refused to send me to a specialist, and he just told me to "take it easy" and "take ibuprofen." I'm hopeful for today's appointment but I'm also feeling a SEVERE amount of rage at that doctor from last year!

      Well, the rash is back with a vengeance. It never completely cleared up. I saw the derm yesterday and they did another swab and yup, raging infection again, still? It is definitely strep skin infection. I am getting so damn tired and run down from this. Who the f would immagine being hospitalized freaking TWICE for a rash?

      My niece is going to be a seat filler at this year's Academy Awards.  Seat fillers are asked to wear tuxedos regardless of sex/gender.  If you see a pretty young woman with very curly hair, it could be my niece.
