I think the antics of the Duggars is something that we all share a common bond in.  Alot of people were taken in by their holier than thou, let me show you how to raise a family speil.  I see nothing wrong with discussing there fallout.   I am DEFINATLEY NOT A SUPPORTOR< never have been, never watched the show,  too phony for me frome the beginning....creepy

 

 

 

I worked for many years with a few of the biggest hypocrites I have met in my long life. I won't go into the boring stories, but suffice it to say?  Holier than thou does not even scratch their surface.

I agree Noel, you know they are not.

 

I have to run out, and this probably won't be here when I get back, so I wil just say, I don't see the big push to seperate out his "indescretions". It's just more fuel for the fire, IMO, and I hope he roasts!

Just a guess, but I'd be surprised if anything will happen to Josh.  He's in a secure area, lots of powerful friends, a lot of others that think like his family, and seemingly a disproportionate number of child molesters in the area.

 

Most importantly, he is also surrounded by people who don't get it... that he committed a crime, that he is dangerous to children.

 

He is surrounded by people who believe all you have to do is ask for forgiveness, go to rehab maybe, and everything will be OK.

I don't disagree with any of you, but I just have to say that all the Duggers are not in the same category as Josh.  There are 18 other children who may not be guilty of anything except being born into the Dugger family. Let's not get caught up in demeaning the entire family when there is only one (or at least just a few) rotten apples in the barrel. 


I am only talking about Josh's antics, HOWEVER, that being said, MOM AND DAD DID NOTHING to protect their daughtesr from him when they knew what was going on,,,to me, that is a form of approval (notice I said TO ME>>JMO)  They also now are trying to put the blame on Anna for "not relizing his stress and pressures"  REALLY< She has 4 kids under 6, SHE"S NOT STRESSED!  again, approving in an odd way of what he did.


 

Did one of the parents blame Anna?

Re: Josh Duggar had a paid Ashley Madison account

"Anna will not leave him," the familiy source said. "As with her in-laws, she is turning more to her faith than ever, she and Josh are probably praying around the clock right now, I would assume."

Anna, the source said,  "on some level"  needs to "absorb some of the blame."

"Maybe not publicly, ever, but privately, there will be some suggestion of whether or not she should have been more aware of the pressures Josh was under, of the issues he was facing, and how she could have better counseled him or helped him," says the source. "She is fully and permanently committed to her marriage and her children. And she'll have the support of Jim Bob and Michelle and everyone else in their circle in terms of staying with him and making this work. Divorce is not even something that will be discussed."

 

HUH???? REALLY?????

stazgirl,

 

I know you had high hopes for Anna last night, but that family & friends are of a different mindset.  It's subcultural, Anna has been taught all her life to be subservient.  I don't think she will change at this point in time, if ever.

Re: ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW! REALLY?

I remember years ago when the show was in it's infancy how many Viewpoint posters held them up as models of virtue and perfection.  There were hints of wrong doing by the elder son but nothing proven.  Still,  they were held up as the moral majority.

 

Years later, it's been shown that the parents were very much aware of the wrong doings all the while they were in negotiations with TLC for a tv series.

 

We also have been shown older videos of the Duggers living in cramped quarters, 14 children and parents sharing 2 bathrooms and the father bragging about buying used clothing for his children.

 

So, here we are today, years past the statute of limitations for molestation charges , admissions of cheating and porn viewing by the older son.. what else will come to light?

I know, I was hoping....especially thought she would see the light when his profile revealed he was looking for "a professional business woman"  I was hoping it would click that he picked her (Anna) Just to keep her in her "good little wifey, stay out of my business mod"    And to think another generation of kids will grow up thinking this abuse is acceptable is scary to me.

This!

 

The females are brought up without education or any skills, aside from being mothers.    She would not be able to support herself and would probably have a hard time feeling ok with herself (as awful as that sounds), alone.   A man is just part of their equation and that is ALL that gives them value.

 

It's awful, but the truth.  For these reasons I sincerely doubt she would ever leave him, almost no matter what his indiscretions are.  Smiley Sad

You have been a very strong woman in your own life and have a lot to be proud of.  Unfortunately, not everyone see their paths that way, and that's just sad.

That's taking the Biblical quote too far.  If we were never to "judge", there would be no laws, no courts, no prisons.  Anyone could do whatever he wanted to with no repercussions.  We'd live in a totally lawless society.

 

I've never watched "The Duggars" but I've certainly heard about them.  I can't say I'm impressed by their actions.
