The Duggars posted this photo of Jed smiling outside a ride at the amusement park. His shirt was difficult to read from afar.
In this photo with his sister Jana, however, the text on Jed’s shirt was on full display. It reads, “If you died tonight, would you be in heaven or hell?”
Some fans didn’t support the aggressive line of questioning. “That message on that T-shirt. ? Scaring people into faith/heaven is not loving. God isn’t about scaring. He is about love,” one follower wrote.
“Nice comment. God is all about love,” another fan agreed.

Others supported Jed’s choice of T-shirt. “Well hell is real, and sugar coated preaching doesn't save anyone,” a supporter argued.
“I didnt find it scary ?. I found it thought provoking,” said another.
The Duggars are never ones to shy away from their beliefs for the sake of popularity. The family was recently slammed for going to Washington, DC, to lobby for anti-choice legislation, and they’ve also done missionary work in Honduras despite fans’ criticism.
The family’s son-in-law Derick Dillard was even fired from the show Counting On when he criticized fellow TLC star Jazz Jennings in a series of transphobic tweets.
