The Wissmann Family

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. 

Jana was seen at the Wissmann Christmas celebration sitting next to Stephen. It would be strange for her to travel all the way to Nebraska to a Christmas celebration if she wasn’t courting Stephen. He is 3 years younger than Jana.

Wasn’t Stephen also photographed standing behind Jana at Magnolia the weekend after Justin’s TX wedding?

It definitely could be him. The picture is so grainy I can’t say 100% it’s him.  I’m like 90% sure it’s him.

I’m about 97.5% sure it’s him since his sister Hannah was there and standing next to Jer (another possible courtship.) Would make sense that Hannah would have an accountability buddy there.

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?

Are we really going to go through this again? Good grief... ??‍♀️

I love your exact percentage number ? 

It makes a lot of sense it would be him since Hannah was there. The height matches. The facial hair matches. But his hair seemed a bit different in that pic. However Jana might like his hair longer ?

I was being a smart Alec ?

I guess both Nathan Bates and Jana like longer hair on their partners. ?

Thank you for clarifying! (Also -- just an FYI, the age thing doesn't matter to me. My husband is a decade older than me. I like 'em old, haha.)

Susanna is now a pilot. It’s nice that she’s able to become one but I am sure she won’t become a commercial pilot like Jessica Richardson. That’s much too worldly.

Rachel has blocked me (not sure why as I never commented - but whatever) so I don't get any news on what is going on with her. Now this picture and caption. I see that I have missed nothing by being blocked.

There's an instagram account called "lifestyledsisters" that is apparently run (followed by) Hannah, Susanna, and Alaythia. It's all private but they do have over 3k followers with over 400 posts. Anyone know what that's about? Is it just boring reblogs?

It used to be a public account. It was all about modest, vain-but-holy fashion. It screamed "future wives catalog". Probably they started posting more personal posts and went private or they got fed up of messages asking about Jana, who knows.

I’ve been following them from the start. They are posting much less now. Maybe because Hannah is seeing someone.

While I am not the least bit surprised, I am still flabbergasted. 

Just like when ofChristopher's children wore paper costumes at Thanksgiving - these people not only broadcast their ignorance, they appear to be proud of it. 

Future generations are going to be entirely f*cked over because they won't have a single shred of actual fact built into their homeskooling. Not only future generations of fundies-future generations, period because someone is going to end up having to deal with their ignorance & egos.

... and that is why fundies can't handle any discussion of critical race theory. It is a lot of painful work to learn about, come to terms with and address the ways racism has shaped public policy and ruined lives. Someone is going to have to deal with it - but fundies would rather it not be them now or really ever.

Do the Wissmanns have courtship type relationships like a lot of fundie families or are their dating guidelines more secular?  The youngest son has posted a little about his girlfriend on Instagram and the posts seem normal for someone that age.  Not overly fundie.

I don’t think they kiss before marriage. But they definitely touch. I don’t even think they call it courtship anymore. But if JB want them to call it courtship, they probably would.

So... I fell into the Wissmann family rabbit hole last night, when I couldn't sleep and here are some totally subjective, BEC observations from going through their various instas:

- Man, but the daughters are hard to tell apart at first! I think I've got the unmarried ones sorted out now, but the married ones still confound me a bit. And there's just so many of them!

- I'm kinda mildly creeped out by the pics featuring all seven "kids" still living at home. It seems so weird to have so many adults posing together all the time. And don't get me started on the siblings-or-dating type pics.

- Nate W. seems to be... not the brightest bulb. Super enthusiastic and energetic, to be sure, but definitely not a deep thinker. No wonder he's all aboard the Trump train.

- The parents give off a relatively warm and friendly vibe for a fundie patriarch and his helpmeet. Of course they're probably horrible people anyway, but they seem much nicer than say, the Maxwells or Bontragers. 

- Rachel makes me sad. She seems like a genuinely nice and reasonably intelligent woman, but boy, is she ever steeped in the kool-aid!

As I said, just random observations, and probably nothing that hasn't been said here before. But hey, I needed a distraction...

I’ve been following the Wissmanns for years and I think your assessments are pretty accurate. I’m kind of hoping Rachel is done at 3 kids although I know she wants more. She could really focus on their homeschool educations with just 3.

Very reminiscent of Allison Bontrager “dating” her brothers before she got married. I wonder why there was never any courtship between the two families. I believe they’re all longtime friends.

It seems like the unmarried siblings do almost everything together.  I know that this is very common in fundie families but living, working, socializing whenever they leave the house and travelling together all the time seems like it would be way too much togetherness.  It's so hard for me to imagine not having any real time to myself.  

I agree that Nathanael doesn't seem like the brightest bulb.  They are definitely hard core Trumpers and appear to be very vocal about it.

It's surprising to me that Stephen hasn't married yet.  It seems like he'd be a "catch" in the fundie world and all of his brothers were married by his age.

This is total speculation on my part, but my hypothesis is that Stephen Wissman was the failed relationship Chelsy Bontrager had before she got together with John Maxwell. That or he and Allison were a thing, as I think she also had a breakup prior to Mr Helferich. 
 

Given how the Bontrager parents love to arrange marriages with families they like, I agree that it’s odd that they haven’t had any Wissman matches we know about.

      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.
