Duggar Shocker: Joy-Anna Reveals She Prayed for TWO YEARS Before Breaking Family Rules and Wearing Pants in Public!

Duggar News fans are always curious to learn about the journeys of Jim and Michelle Duggar’s family. They love to know how a few of their daughters chose to break the stereotypes and embrace freedom. Joy-Anna and Jinger’s names are always on the top when it comes to breaking the IBLP rules. The latter is always the first to embrace the modern world, especially because of marrying a person outside the IBLP community.

However, Joy-Anna took time to drop her modesty rules because she married a family friend. Fortunately, Austin has been very supportive of his wife. Still, Joy-Anna had to wait for a long time to wear jeans in public. Why did she wait for too long? Did she really pray before making the decision? What made her so conscious about it?

Joy-Anna Duggar has been in Los Angeles for a long time. She was spotted hanging out with her sister, Jinger, in several social media posts. Hence, Duggar News fans assumed that the reality TV celeb may just have moved to her sister to help her out during her last stages of pregnancy. However, fans were curious after Joy-Anna spent almost a month in the city.

A curious fan asked Joy-Anna about her plans to move to LA permanently with her family. She explained that she had rented an apartment near Jinger’s home in the city. She wanted to give her some privacy during her third trimester. So, the reality TV star stays near her home and visits them occasionally. Joy-Anna made it clear that she has no plans to move to the city forever.

Duggar News: Joy-Anna Shares Her Tough Journey To Become Comfortable In Jeans!

Joy-Anna didn’t find it easy to drop the modesty rules of the Duggar family. She often shares her family’s ultra-conservative values with the Duggar News Fans. The 19 Kids and Counting star was prohibited from wearing pants, as they were considered immodest in her family. Many years later, Joy-Anna ditched the IBLP rules and went for pants and jeans.

Recently, a curious fan asked her whether it was tough or easy to wear pants for the first time. They already know that her sisters, Jinger and Jill, began wearing pants even before her. However, the reality TV star may not have found it easy to embrace the new change. Forsyth admitted that it was a long and thoughtful decision.

She knew people would call her and Austin crazy for this, but they prayed a lot before their decision. She explained, “My husband and I were both taught that pants were immodest.” Hence, the Counting On stars didn’t want to rush into a decision and go back and forth. Moreover, Joy-Anna and Austin studied the Bible to learn what God says about this.

Forsyth noted that it wasn’t a rebellious decision but a thoughtful one. She also learned that modesty is an issue of the heart. Fans were surprised that Joy-Anna had to think so much for a small decision. Still, they were happy that she did the right thing.
