Counting On: How’s Jim Bob Duggar Today?

Jim Bob no longer posts updates about his family like he used to. However, the Counting On alum still appears at some of their family get-togethers and other occasions. In May, the Duggar family patriarch visited Joy-Anna to celebrate the birthday of his grandson, Gunner James.

Jim Bob Accused Of Starving Children

Some Redditors discussed a new discovery from 2001 about Jim Bob spending over $250K on a “hopeless primary” for the Senate. According to the poster, the Counting On alum could’ve spent the money on his family, who were heavily struggling with food at the time.

The Reddit user added that Jim Bob Duggar could have even bought a bigger house back then and provided healthy meals for his kids. The poster even recalled that Jill used to sneak off foods and secretly eat them in the bathroom, showing how bad their food management was back in the day. It was also revealed that the $250K was all his own money, and none of it came from donations.

• “You know what kind of house you could have bought in 2001 for 250k!!!! Good god. How do these older kids talk to their parents? The abuse is a whole other animal.”
• “To save that much and not use it to house and feed all those children is NOT what Jesus had in mind. Especially using it for political gain. I hope in the afterlife the entity known as Jesus pops in to personally tell them they got it very wrong. Idk, I like visual. He should bring a trans soul with him and walk up hand in hand to deliver this blow. Lovingly, of course.”
• “They never should have had atv show. And those a**holes at TLC should have reported them to child services. So many people failed those children.”
• “The story about the green beans is so sad. I don’t begrudge families that eat canned veggies – many must – but the fact that she felt the need to hide it when she needed something to eat.”
