Over time, Amy Duggar has shared what she might about Jim Bob’s paranoia and extremism.

An NDA seemingly prevents her from sharing extra — no less than, not with out risking litigation.

However it’s no secret that she and Jim Bob are locked in an typically unstated but extremely seen feud.

Now, Amy is reminding everybody that when the “satan” is on the offensive, you realize that you simply’re on the fitting facet of issues.

On Instagram, Amy Duggar shared a easy video — one that may as properly have been a GIF — displaying a wet evening, with a streetlight offering some dramatic lighting.

The caption supplied much more dramatic flare, nonetheless, evoking (Christian) spiritual imagery.

“The satan wouldn’t be attacking you so onerous if there [weren’t] one thing Holy inside you,” the publish claimed. “Thieves don’t break into empty homes.”

Each of those statements are analogies that primarily say the identical factor, albeit with barely totally different phrasing.

Primarily, when you’ve got one thing that your enemy needs, covets, or fears, they are going to assault you in some capability, maybe to take it from you or silence you.

And, the saying suggests, the truth that somebody is coming after you ultimately signifies that you’ve one thing of worth.

After all, in actuality, thieves usually tend to break right into a home that’s merely simpler to interrupt into than their neighbor’s.

(It sounds callous to say, however having yet another lock in your door or barely smaller home windows than the individual subsequent door may also help keep away from a random break-in)

However, positive, if a thief is doing a focused raid to steal one thing particular from a home that they’ve cased and monitored, then yeah, they’re not breaking into an empty home.

Now, Amy didn’t provide you with both analogy. However she did select to share these metaphors on social media. Why?

Properly, just one actual “enemy” involves thoughts once we consider Amy. That will be Jim Bob Duggar.

In a way, he — as a infamous scumbag — is the enemy of each respectable individual on the planet. However one might argue that he’s, on a way more private degree, Amy’s foe. And the implication is evident: Jim Bob wouldn’t need Amy to STFU if she didn’t have tea to spill.

As a result of that is Amy, we must also take into account that she could possibly be referring to the literal satan.

For many people, “the satan” is only a horny pink man who makes for a simple Halloween costume. Even many Christians don’t imagine in a literal Devil determine.

Nevertheless, some do. A Christian conservative like Amy may imagine that Lucifer himself is actually working by evil males — like Jim Bob — to make the world a worse place, and to behave in opposition to Amy.

We should always word that, whether or not we take Amy’s publish as metaphor or a literal expression of her spiritual beliefs, it’s not particularly reduce and dry.

It doesn’t, for instance, imply that anybody who’s underneath assault should be “holy” and thus underneath siege by “devils.”

For instance, lots of people got here after Josh Duggar. However they weren’t devils, and he was not holy. The trick, it could appear, is determining which facet is sweet and which is dangerous. However that’s at all times the case.
