Jim and Bobye Holt spent most of their married life standing directly to the side of the spotlight. While the couple, and several of their children, briefly appeared with the Duggar family in one of their earliest TLC appearances, they didn’t show up again. The Holts and the Duggars were once extremely close, but a rift occurred after Josh Duggar admitted to molesting several of his sisters. Now, Jim and Bobye Holt have both spoken out against the Duggars in the Amazon docuseries Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets. While Duggar family followers largely praised Bobye’s interview, viewers were less enthused with Jim Holt. Did you notice that Jim Holt made an inappropriate joke eerily similar to one Josh Duggar once made?

The Duggar family spent over a decade on TLC, sharing a wholesome image of a supersized family. That image started to crumble in 2015. A bombshell report revealed that Josh Duggar had molested four of his sisters and another girl as a teen. Josh is now in federal prison, serving a decade-long sentence for possessing child pornography. The family’s image has further deteriorated with the release of the Amazon docuseries Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets. In the docuseries, Jill Dillard, one of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s children, speaks out. Longtime followers were particularly interested in hearing Jill Dillard’s take on an infamous Megyn Kelly interview she gave after the news of sexual abuse inside the home broke. Jill’s husband, Derick Dillard, called the interview a “suicide mission.”

Amazon’s explosive docuseries, Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets, has Duggar family followers talking. It has also introduced the masses to the Institute of Basic Life Principles, branded as a Christian ministry but called a cult in the docuseries. The Iblp, as its known, has had several major scandals, most revolving around its former leader. Bill Gothard previously ran the Iblp but stepped down in 2014 amid sexual misconduct allegations. While Gothard spent decades controlling the ministry, he was never really the face of it, at least not to the public. That role went to the Duggars. So, with Bill Gothard now out of power in the Iblp, we can’t help but wonder who is running the show. Officially, the Iblp is now being led by a board of directors. According to Bobye Holt, a former family friend, Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar are pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Here we are again: Christmas Eve, and I had an idea for a column – a kind of story/parable that would culminate in a macabre image involving the season’s most prominent icons. The Scrooge in me thinks the piece might be pretty cool, but there’s another me that doesn’t want to perpetuate ugliness of any kind. This second me believes in the season – or, to be exact, the need for the season.
I’ve never wrapped my head completely around Claude Levi-Strauss’ contention that ritual precedes mythology. But the Christmas frolics might give me a clue. Begin with this: outside, it is cold and bleak and the days are very, very short. We glimpse the coming void and we are afraid. Not panicky, just feeling a quiet dread. And we rally – we gather together where there is light, and we sing, and we dance, and we exchange gifts and festive foods.
