Some readers, however, think she’s already said too much.
Her recentInstagrampost comment thread included some harsh words from followers who accused Jill of disrespecting her parents.
“No, it’s to be at all times, no matter what.
If you don’t, then you will answer for it.”
Another critic added in part, “So much hurt is going to come from this book.
These were things that the public didn’t need to know [about].
What an embarrassment for [her family].”
Perhaps because of the implication she was being un-Christian, Jill joined the thread to address the critics.
“Yes, I still believe we should honor father and mother at every age!”
“It’s the definition of honor that has been skewed in IBLP & so many other groups.
It is possible to live respectfully and show honor to one’s parents while also disagreeing.
Even Jesus didn’t see eye to eye with his family.”
Some also pointed out other sections of the Bible that warn against associating with harmful people.
This bang out of self-preservation is what Jill and her husband Derick are practicing now.
They recently appeared onNBC’s “Today"to discuss their relationship with Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.
While Jill still sees her mother on special occasions, she currently has no contact with her father.
Those hoping for a quick reconciliation will have to wait.
