Jill Dillard is about to come under fire for a controversial move that the Duggars made back in 2011 — the sharing of photos featuring a stillborn Jubilee Shalom Duggar.
In memoriam, Dillard opted to share the pics with her Instagram following of over 1 million followers, most of which who were divided on the divisive pics.
On her Instagram page, she wrote, “5 years ago today my mom gave birth to my youngest little sister, Jubilee Shalom Duggar and Jesus welcomed her home to Heaven!”
“She is a testimony to every life being beautiful; at 18 weeks gestation, she was a beautiful baby with little blue eyes, 10 fingers & 10 toes!,” Duggar continued.
“She weighed 4 oz. and was 6 inches long.”
“We miss you Jubilee and look forward to meeting you one day in Heaven! @duggarfam #jubileeshalom #job121”
She also shared a passage from the Bible — Job 1:21, which reads, “Naked I came out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither; the Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away.”
“Blessed be the name of the Lord,” the passage concluded.
The pics were originally taken as part of a memorial service held in honor of the stillborn baby, and stirred up tons of controversy upon release.
The Duggar family shared the miscarried fetus pic shortly after the child’s memorial service.
Some commenters were supportive of the photos that Jill shared … others, not so much.
One follower wrote, “So sorry for your loss but will NEVER EVER forget how beautifully your family showed the world the precious life of the unborn child – fearfully and wonderfully made sweet Jubilee – Rest In Peace in God’s Divine hands.”
Another commented, “AMEN. I also lost a precious baby. I hope to meet that little one in heaven.”
Others, however, weren’t as supported, and outright called the images — and Jill — crass.
“Pictures of a dead fetus….? Really?” a commenter said, apparently disgusted.
“No happy birthday to Josie but all of a sudden, Jubilee: Memba her?” wrote another.
On the whole, however, the Duggars received widespread support, and the naysayers were few and far between.
Instead of slamming the photos, they decided to argue religion instead.
That’s progress, if nothing else, right?
Baby Jubilee would have been five years old today, had she lived.
