- “He doesn’t care. Once they are adults he knows they will make their own decisions. That is one area where he and Kelly are preferable to Jim Bob-I don’t think they have any criteria their adult children must meet in order to have their love. One of Gil’s favorite kids is clearly Carlin and she’s close to the most “worldly” of them all.”
- “Gill doesn’t care. He’s not like JB Duggar he wants a relationship with his kids.”
- “I think the whole modesty bit was always more performative than anything. And I don’t think Gil cares what his daughters do as long as they are following the wishes of their headship like he raised them to.”
- “Saying that Josie wear very form-fitting dresses is the understatement of the week. It would be more accurate to say she wears paint.”
