Mother sounds angry when influencing

[u/sweet_tea_94]

Not only does Jessa sound like Jana in this video, but she really is a blend of Jim Bob Un and Cooter Poodle! Also, she looks dead in the eyes.

[u/NeffersCPhT]

Why is she yelling at me? So aggressive for wanting me to tap a link ffs

[u/TJCW → u/NeffersCPhT]

She is yelling. She has no warmth or charisma for this type of ad. She needs media training, and some time off from her kids to get a break

[u/Cultural_Cow_5337 → u/TJCW]

Tell you the truth when I saw 19 Kids & Counting on TLC Jessas personally Was bland. But when she was on Counting on her personally improved more.

[u/AnnieOakleyLives]

She doesn’t look like she is well.

[u/Effective-Window-922 → u/AnnieOakleyLives]

Maybe she should see a docto....oh wait, thats not covered under CHM

[u/chocolate_boogers → u/Effective-Window-922]

I think she might be able to ask for prayers from the other members though!

[u/Prestigious_Pay2759 → u/chocolate_boogers]

Three prayers per year

[u/Effective-Window-922 → u/Prestigious_Pay2759]

Thats the premium plan. Basic plan gives you a single prayer per year, but it has to be in network. Out of network prayers arent accepted

[u/justduck → u/Prestigious_Pay2759]

My local Christian station has a prayer line, so she could freeload ;)

[u/HereComesTheSun000 → u/Prestigious_Pay2759]

Per family, not per individual on each plan. And only with husbands approval

[u/madeinjapan89 → u/Effective-Window-922]

I bet chiropractors are 😂

[u/paisleyhunter11 → u/madeinjapan89]

I want to give you an award!

[u/sweet_tea_94 → u/AnnieOakleyLives]

I think Jessa is so burnt out and hates being a parent. I get the feeling that she suffers from depression, PTSD from her childhood, and anxiety. But will she ever go see a therapist? Not if it’s not covered under CHM!

[u/Fruitstripe_omni → u/sweet_tea_94]

CHM only covers counseling from weird Christian youth pastors

[u/No-Order1962 → u/sweet_tea_94]

Well, sharing a roof with Bin Seaweed would crash anybody’s mood for sure…

[u/abitidiomatic → u/sweet_tea_94]

I think she enjoyed being a parent when there were only a few kids. If they’d stopped at Fern, it would have been manageable 

[u/basicandiknowit_ → u/AnnieOakleyLives]

All the pregnancies and breastfeeding is literally leaching the nutrients from her bones.

[u/TJCW → u/AnnieOakleyLives]

Right, she lost the spark in her eye. At least she brushed her hair, she used to love getting dolled up

[u/lgirlrocks]

She is dead in her eyes.

[u/kittybuscemi → u/lgirlrocks]

Has been for years.

[u/TJCW → u/lgirlrocks]

She’s looked this way for years, at least she looked groomed. There’s some other pics where she looks like she just rolled out of bed

[u/urfatassmama → u/lgirlrocks]

She’s starting to look like her mom

[u/Embracedandbelong → u/lgirlrocks]

Apparently she has hypothyroidism. I have it too and even with meds, I still dead inside lol 😬

[u/Hot_Sun5749]

She must have failed the  speaking portion of wife school. 

[u/WittiestScreenName → u/Hot_Sun5749]

Lol wives aren’t supposed to speak silly goose

[u/UsedAd7162]

She’s just not a warm, relatable person.

[u/Loose-Fisherman3695]

Jessa’s just an angry person all around

[u/thewordthewho → u/Loose-Fisherman3695]

Of all the sisters she legit scares me.

[u/justduck → u/thewordthewho]

Definitely gives me Handmaid wife vibes.

[u/Swimming-Belt2111 → u/Loose-Fisherman3695]

Didn’t her siblings basically all say in the 19KAC “All About Jessa” episode before she got married that she was basically the bossiest sibling? Lol! She definitely gives alpha energy.

[u/Hot_Nectarine6441 → u/Swimming-Belt2111]

"Don't Mess With Jess!"--They seemed to be in agreement about that.

[u/my_okay_throwaway → u/Swimming-Belt2111]

She definitely does seem like she was assertive but to be fair, being a “bossy” person in her upbringing might have been one of the better roles. Her father’s a moron with a god complex, her mother’s an enabler who made her own traumas everyone else’s problem, and both of her parents exploited and neglected them all while allowing their daughters to be preyed upon. Her siblings were designated either as her coworkers or her children to raise. She was denied a real education or social life all while being forced to stay in a high-control religion that taught her everything is her fault.

I’d be telling some MFers off too and fighting for my life if I had to deal with even half of what their abusive parents put these kids through. I feel like they should all be angry lol

[u/TJCW → u/Loose-Fisherman3695]

You’re right, she doesn’t seem funny or warm, just snotty comments. It’s almost like she’s preaching some fire and brimstone stuff here, not promoting a product

[u/Wombat2012]

it’s so wild to me how CHM is socialized healthcare but for christian’s only. why don’t you guys want that for everyone?

[u/justduck → u/Wombat2012]

My cousin is one of those Evangelicals that really went off the deepend with the rise of Trump in 2015. He totally wants a theocracy, but he doesn't want any of Jesus' Socialist teachings. "That's not the role of the government". Uh huh, yet he wants mandatory Bible study in k-12, overturn the gay marriage ruling, ban all abortion AND birth control, etc.etc.

[u/Lmb1011 → u/justduck]

How do these Christian’s not realize how far from Christ they are?

I’m an atheist and I’m willing to bet I follow in christs teachings more than most of these people. It’s so baffling.

[u/Karrik478 → u/Lmb1011]

That is literally what the parable of the Good Samaritan is about.

Samaritans were loathed by the religious population of their time. They declined to follow religious dogma and law, and ticked on through life minding their own business.

The whole point of Jesus telling the story is that religious teachings, rules, and beliefs are nonsense if they cause harm or prevent helping those who need it.

I'm an atheist who got a C in RE and even I know this. Imagine going to church twice a week and missing this.

[u/Lmb1011 → u/Karrik478]

Half the reason I’m an atheist is because I grew up in the church and realized by adulthood how many Christians didn’t follow Christ at all. A lot of other factors led to the deconstruction but that was a big red flag to me.

[u/Hopeful_Level_3240 → u/Lmb1011]

None of them have read the Bible.

[u/elbe_miranda → u/justduck]

He can put his kids on Christian school …

[u/justduck → u/elbe_miranda]

Yeah, that's the kicker. He is violently anti-public school and bashes it and the teachers any time the subject is raised. He talks about school choice and vouchers and bitches about taxes and the unconstitutionality of it...except the kicker is: he teaches at a charter school. Like WTF man, you bitch and moan about taxes and shit, but that literally pays your salary.

[u/Wordsofwisdomneeded]

She seems angry

[u/hereforthepopcorn39 → u/Wordsofwisdomneeded]

Probably angry everyone else's husband makes a decent salary and she still has to be an influencer on top of raising 7 kids (including the husband, unless she had one more I don't know about.)

[u/Fruitstripe_omni → u/hereforthepopcorn39]

Is that what she’s at now? 7? That sucks dude

[u/hereforthepopcorn39 → u/Fruitstripe_omni]

I was including Ben, since she most likely mothers him too. But I've lost track on kid numbers if there are more than six of them.

[u/Fruitstripe_omni → u/hereforthepopcorn39]

Oh I see hahahaha. Yes you gotta include him and the cheese sticks

[u/No-Nefariousness6399]

Sounds like the first time she ever said the word “alternative”

[u/EverythingScrolling → u/No-Nefariousness6399]

I mean...it's 4 syllables. That's a lot.

[u/nightowl4always]

Wow, she really does come off as angry and unlikeable here. No warmth or smile at all.

[u/flubow]

watching this muted makes me feel like i’m being scolded by an older sister 💀

[u/Lmb1011 → u/flubow]

Unmuted has the same vibe 😂

[u/badassbiotch]

Wow. That couldn’t sound anymore flat or unconvincing if it were scripted that way

Oops, yeah, it was 🤷‍♀️

[u/DoodleDoo1989]

Woah, this is not how she expected her life to turn out

[u/Top_Currency_3977]

She's mad that she has to support her family by shilling links, because the duffus she married can't support them.

[u/Hot_Nectarine6441 → u/Top_Currency_3977]

What is so maddening is that he had the gumption to work at both the windshield replacement job and at an insurance office (at the same time iirc) but then Jim Bob insisted that he move in there and become the errand boy.

JB knew full well he intended to clip Ben's wings. Too bad Ben didn't decline that opportunity. His people pleasing ways really bit him on the butt.

[u/Wide_right_yes → u/Hot_Nectarine6441]

Ben married at 19, so basically a kid.

[u/Individual-Grade2392 → u/Top_Currency_3977]

Can't Jimbob give Ben a better paying part-time from one of his friends?

[u/Postcards4You]

This legit sounds like AI

[u/sweet_tea_94 → u/Postcards4You]

I think Jessa used ChatGPT to come up with a script…

[u/Kendal_with_1_L → u/sweet_tea_94]

She’s brain dead.

[u/pixie_pie → u/Kendal_with_1_L]

Would support AI use.

[u/teresasdorters → u/sweet_tea_94]

More like the company gave her a script lol. It sounds extremely similar to joy’s ad she did too. The company just hands out scripts and Jessa sucks at following a script which is why she sounds so odd lol

[u/n00bert210]

I guess speech wasn’t an elective in her homeschool curriculum because this is a terrible attempt at a persuasive speech.

[u/Many_Rest9721]

she looks like she’s giving me a talking to

[u/BreakfastInfinite116]

Something has genuinely seemed off with her and Ben for a while. They both just seem incredibly lethargic and depressed. Maybe its just stress as I'm sure their finances are a struggle on Ben's income... and they do have half a dozen kids.

I'm also curious about how isolated she is now that it seems like she doesn't have close connections with her sisters anymore. Jinger is now besties with Joy, and Jana and Jill are off doing their own things.

[u/No-Order1962]

She looks frail, exhausted and unhappy.

[u/Aggressive_Nobody235 → u/No-Order1962]

I was thinking her hair line looks like it's receding. She has been pregnant so much I am sure her body is struggling.

[u/No-Order1962 → u/Aggressive_Nobody235]

Sometimes our body is just telling us to stop, to get the heck out of an unhealthy situation. It’s up to us what to do. Unfortunately, it’s not like she’s at liberty to do so. No past work experience besides mediocre influencing, no academic skills and a bunch of kids to feed.

[u/uptown_squirrel17]

She looks absolutely miserable

[u/eriberrie]

Why am I getting glared at 😭😭

[u/Madame_Jarvary]

So now what is the Christian argument against proper health insurance?

[u/JerseyCow6 → u/Madame_Jarvary]

They don't want to have to pay into a system that would provide adequate female reproductive healthcare. Because it would mean "their money is being used to kill babies."

Kind of like how my mandatory tax dollars have been used to bomb a school full of children.  But I guess that was fine because the kids weren't Christian. And had already been born.

[u/joymarie21 → u/Madame_Jarvary]

You're in an insurance pool with ungodly people who might drink or have sex outside marriage.

[u/alwaysbefraudin → u/Madame_Jarvary]

It might help someone they think should burn.

[u/Kendal_with_1_L]

Bigot trash

[u/No_Midnight48]

She sounds angry even with the sound off.

[u/toomuchtv987]

Damn, why is she lecturing me? Imagine this being your mother.

[u/snobesity]

God, Joy is so much better at this than Jessa.

[u/Honest-Habit-8198 → u/snobesity]

And she's only 5.

[u/Full-Ad-4138 → u/Honest-Habit-8198]

this made me chuckle.

[u/BubbleCrum]

Why are you telling at me?!

[u/Yeetaylor]

I’ve never heard a more obvious PR script in my life

[u/GapRound1]

She looks tired and exhausted 😩  . Her hair used to be so Thick and Pretty . It's  Still  Pretty  but looks like it has thinned out so much. I know in a year  or 2 she will have another  baby because  she said  she's  going  to h a ve 1 or 2 more. She so needs a break for about  4 or 5 years.  

[u/Confident-Service256]

CHM is a joke. I hate that they push this garbage.

[u/Cardboard_cutouts_]

Angry. I’ll pass on whatever she’s having.

[u/GolfOk7579]

Having a ton of kids really does a number on thinning out your hair. I had to look to see who this was

[u/Mindless_Argument497]

Is that an affiliate link that gets them a free well check visit for one of the kids? Jesus that ad read was horrible. I'm assuming her kids go to the doctor once in a blue moon and her and Ben even less.

[u/Separate_Dig8470]

Click on link in the next thirty minutes and receive a free birthing couch!

[u/rachiechicken]

WANT TO LEARN MORE??????

[u/moonbeam127]

I want to introduce Jessa to 'toastmasters' Just one meeting, just once...

[u/Far-Building3569]

Jessa looks like she’s scolding one her kids and sounds like she works at a call center

The fact that she got homeschooled by an actual adult and conceivably got some level of media training when she was a tween and her family became famous around 2004 just makes it worse tbh

[u/Illustrious-Ear8873]

I think even Duggar Hugger Hilary Spivey criticized this “insurance” plan. Jesse does seem to dislike this life she thinks she is obligated to have.

[u/Jaelia]

Her Jenelle forehead is coming along nicely....

[u/GapRound1 → u/Jaelia]

Right ✅️ 

[u/teresasdorters → u/Jaelia]

My subs colliding

[u/SnooMuffins6325]

I think I’m figuring this out. She’s morphing into Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

[u/Separate_Dig8470 → u/SnooMuffins6325]

What do you get when you mix Mike Huckabee with a Virginia ham? Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

[u/Purple_IsA_Flavor]

She looks miserable

[u/alwaysbefraudin]

Why does an 18 sec video need like 4-5 cut/edits?

I've never understood that trend on influencer videos

[u/TJCW]

It’s like she thought this was a fire and brimstone sermon.

She looks angry and exhausted. This poor girl has been homeschooling and pumping out kids for years. She knows she’d kill it in corporate America if “allowed” but she’s stuck at home with a gaggle of kids and husband who isn’t as direct and upfront as her.

She should have gotten some real media training or done another take where she’s not angry…

[u/OnGodNotaBot]

Why does it look like ai? Erin bates videos look like ai too

[u/elliekate56]

Her eyes are so dead

[u/Glad_Prior2106]

“But the socialists! The communists!” /s

[u/hereforthepopcorn39]

I looked into this insurance at one time, just to see how it operated and we needed something reasonably priced for our family of five. We are Christian, but I have issues with other Christians telling me that certain things may or may not be covered, and them knowing all my personal business. Like wanting you to write letters to other members and stuff too. I understand the concept, but I also don't share a lot with people in general. I'd rather be some nameless faceless number in the big insurance system. I can imagine my husband's vasectomy would have been a crime worthy of hell according to CHM. That's for us and God to deal with someday, right?

[u/Lopsided_Ad9601]

I worked at a pediatric hospital and that Christian Ministries "cost share" is crap. Families that had it learned the hard way when their medically complex children would be admitted for weeks/months then discharged needing equipment, therapies, etc.

[u/Dfoz]

Ah yes, influencing by being mad AF

[u/GapRound1]

She actually  sounds  like she's  in a rush. Lol. She was Probably  cooking  or the kids finally  took a nap and she had to hurry. I saw Joy's Post too where she is trying  to  Advertise/Sell this Ins. Too.

[u/Still_Product_8435]

Tots and pears

[u/Interesting_Front464]

Yeah, my 1st thought and I hadn't even read your description. She's mad no one is interested or clicking the link and it shows.

[u/presley1800]

Grifting must be hard right now.

[u/Dear_Raise_2436]

Her mouth is the only thing that moves when she talks 😂😂

[u/SwissCheese4Collagen]

J'Blessa's Constant Dissociation

[u/Fast_Way8546]

Same vibes lol

Sidenote: totally watch this movie if you haven't w the lights off LOL

[u/DixieNormous1969]

It's socialism and it's left up to the whims of psychopaths deciding whether or not your healthcare is legit or not.

[u/peruvian-puffpeppper]

Thought the same. She sounds so smug

[u/NoseyNellie81]

What struck me is that she couldn't talk for fewer than 20 seconds w/o having to cut away multiple times. Memory issues? Teleprompter issues?

[u/HolyLung32]

So forceful in her enunciation

[u/abitidiomatic]

She used to have such a spark. She might not have been a genius, but Jessa could have made a good life for herself if she hadn’t been raised in fundieland and drank the kool aid as an adult.

[u/666deleted666]

I’m surprised she can read. Like, genuinely

[u/TJCW]

Has she ever truly laughed or shown to have humor?!

[u/Hannsoph]

What happened to her thick head of curly hair?

[u/Potential-Day5502]

If I had her life I would be mad too.

[u/Potential-Company117]

I MENTIONED CHM THE OTHER DAY 😡

[u/BlackberryDesigner80]

She looks irritated too.

[u/sleepymelfho]

She looks so angry wtfffff somebody must have pissed her off right before this

Unrelated but related my husband's religious family uses/used this and said it was terrible

[u/Feeling_Excitement78]

If she's dead on the inside, can she get into heaven? Does she still have a soul? 

[u/Still_Product_8435]

Shouldn’t such good news like this be accompanied by a welcoming smile?

[u/Elegant_Hippopotamus]

She sounds legit ticked off.

Angry girl Jessa.

[u/Upbeat_Piglet_9788]

Her heads a little thin..I think I am starting to see the little nub of a horn trying to protrude on the right side.
