Joy-Anna Duggar mocked for reading the Bible with her girlfriends during ‘Galentine’s Day’ bash
JOY-ANNA Duggar was mocked by critics for reading the Bible during a "Galentine's Day" get together.
The reality star joined a few of her girlfriends for a pre-Valentine's day bash without their significant others.
One of her gal pal's, Ester Bates shared a from the party including a couple of group shots of the girls.
In one snap, the group huddled together smiling at the camera, while in a second pic they all showed off their freshly manicured nails.
A third shot showcased their Valentine's-themed spread including several pies of pizza, cookies, chocolate covered strawberries, candy, and a bowl of salad.
Perched on the table was a vase full of flowers and a balloon as a homemade banner hung above with a clever pun to the holiday, reading: "love you to PIZZAS"
She captioned the post: "|| Galentine’s Party 2022 ||💖
"Nail painting • Bible inspiration • love stories • good food • fun date ideas • games and more!

"I’m so thankful for such great friends!!"
The post made its way onto where commentors mocked Joy-Anna for including a Bible reading during their gathering.
The original poster started the conversation writing: "Galentine's Day 💕💝💖❤ Is it even a Duggar party without Bible Inspiration?"
While another person agreed commenting: "I'm a Christian and I don't know what "Bible inspiration" means."
A third chimed in adding: "Fun date ideas? Bible reading with that messy chocolate as dessert? I’d like the specifics please"
Another user echoed the thought writing: "Bible inspiration is not a party activity."
It's only been days since Joy-Anna returned to social media after a month-long hiatus, but this is the second time critics came down on the TV star for her posts.
BACKLASH
Days earlier, Joy-Anna was bashed by fans for allowing her one-year-old daughter Evelyn to play in the snow without her "hat and gloves."
The Counting On alum shared a pic of her youngest child standing in the snow dressed in an unzipped pink puffer jacket sporting a t-shirt underneath.
She captioned the post: "Evelyn's first time to play in the snow! She loved every 60 seconds of it!"
Social media trolls took the opportunity to comment on the mother-of-two's outfit selection for her daughter, pointing out that she was not wearing the proper outerwear.
One person commented: "She might have enjoyed it more, if she had a hat on, maybe some gloves and a zippered jacket."
A second chimed in: "That's what I was going to type. Gloves and a hat. She may have felt warmer and wanted to stay out longer."
BACK ONLINE
Joy-Anna resurfaced on Instagram earlier this month with a smiling selfie after opting take a break from her platforms.
Her and her husband Austin Forsyth, 28, shared the frame as they posed while sitting in the back of a car.
Fans were excited to see the couple back online after Joy-Anna revealed at the end of 2021 that the pair would be signing off for a month.
In an Instagram Story, Joy-Anna said she wanted to "refocus, reprioritize" on her family and spend ";quality time" with her children.
She hoped to "set the tone for the whole year" and start 2022 "off right."
The star added that she expected to "do some fun activities" with the kids during her time away from the site.
