AR - Josh Duggar Admits Molesting Girls As A Teenager - #3

[SCHMAE]

I hope Anna divorces Josh and gets full custody of the kids.

If she is a Born Again Christian, then she knows what the bible says about cheating. She CAN get a divorce.

I suspect that Josh has either truly lost his way or he never was a believer in the first place. (I'm leaning towards the latter now).

jmo.

She needs to take those kids and run far away.

I believe he is a believer ! I believe he is a believer in the way that my grandfather, the AOG preacher was, which means you can do whatever you want and get forgiveness later. Grandpa had his own write up of sins. Apparently molesting kids fell under the 'honor your parent' verse and maybe he didn't even think it was that wrong but he prayed all day , every day for forgiveness so if he did think it was a sin, he could get immediately covered because that is 'how forgiveness works'. Twisted up and hard to understand but when you take perversion and add religion, you got a whole new ball game for sure .

To be fair, he was also looking for the "girl next door" type in his profile. I think he clicked on any option that sounded good. He was up for anything (pardon the pun).

Maybe they didn't have the option for "it has and moves"

What will Anna do. Now? Will the Family comment?

If I was the mom or dad , I would not say a word now. The damage is done. Their attempt to sweep away his molesting didn't go well and they know it. They need to stfu and stay that way. They need to financially support ANNA and the babies anyway that they can and tell their son the glory days are over. I will be shocked if the parents utter a word this time around.

I agree. Yet will they? Given how they process

I agree with you 100%. I read online last night (could find the link if requested) that the parents were shocked that they were criticized and not supported when the news about Josh and his sisters first came out. They expected a loving embrace during their ordeal.

The thing is, I think they would've received some support if they didn't step high and mighty in the spotlight about it. If they had issued a statement that they need time away from the public eye to heal, I think people would've understood.

It's the "we know everything and we're going to show you" attitude that turned people off.

I hope they've figured that out and will just be quiet. But, honestly, I think they place such a high value on "preaching" that it's going to be hard for them to turn off the cameras.

:happydance: That's a good one !

ETA Actually makes me wonder if we will hear that his personal pc was hacked and this is just to further smear the family. Right?

So, up until a few months ago, as a competent adult, I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret. I hurt others, including my family and close friends. I would never have confessed but my data was hacked and I'm hoping that my parents can save me again. The authorities should catch the people who did the hacking. If they continue down this wrong road they might end up ruining my life. I seek forgiveness from those I had wronged and asked Christ to forgive me and come into my life, again. I would do anything to go back to those Ashley Madison years and take different actions. In my life today, I am so very thankful for God’s grace, mercy and redemption because my wife will just have to suck it all up.

I about spit out my drink. I thought he really was saying that right after I said next we'll hear his accounts were all hacked. Interesting comments on the family fb page though . Seems we're not the only ones outraged by these folks.

Josh started his first account in February 2013 and Marcus was born in June 2013, which means Anna was pregnant when he started looking to have an affair.

It took them long enough to announce it but I'm thinking today TLC is ELATED that they cut ties with this family when they finally did.

Talk about dodging another big bullet. Whew.

Isn't a made-for-tv hour-long special in the works? Or was that with another network? I haven't heard yet that the special was cancelled, just the series.

Oh! You may be correct! Now that you mention it I do vaguely recall hearing something about a special. If so, I take back what I say about TLC feeling relieved.

Honestly, I don't keep up with this bunch. I have an extremely low tolerance for hypocrisy, especially when it involves people who claim to be Christians while acting holier-than-thou and exhibiting zero tolerance for beliefs that differ from their own. I try not to torture myself unnecessarily.

 

[TorisMom003]

If by special you mean the one in which two of the older Duggar girls are going to be a part of talking to victims of sexual assault, then yes that is TLC. The show that JB and Michelle are "pitching", as far as I know, has not been bought/approved/whatever by any channel.

It would not surprise me to hear/read Josh say something to the effect of: I only signed up to a "cheating on your spouse" site in order to preach to those sinners one on one. I never had any intention of having an affair or any type of sexual relationship/experience with any of the women that responded and/or met with me. I have been forgiven of my sins (from when I was a teenager, seriously get it over it already) and as a true believer of God and his mercy am trying to save others from an afterlife of Hell.

MOO

Thank you for this post. I think plenty of families handle a situation like this without going to authorities. I totally get it.

The HUGE difference is putting your family on national TV while it's happening and pretending to be goody-goody about sex with all the right answers when you have this issue right under your roof. That is where they lose me.

JMO

I totally agree. I guess my friend's family situation helps me be able to see the pain without the hoopla, you know?

Criminals...prisoners....I know some of them have lived pretty bad lives, but there are ones who are loved. No matter what they did, they are still loved. I'm not in that situation, and I hope I never am, but I can't help but think about these 5 children of mine, and how I promised each of them that I'd be there forever if they needed me. I tell them ALL THE TIME that there are times that their actions disappoint me, but it doesn't falter my love for them one bit. I can only imagine that mothers of criminals feel the same way.

This is in response to another quote upthread:

Maybe I'm different, but there IS no unforgivable sin in my beliefs. If a person is sincere in their repentance (and that's hard to discern, you know?) then I believe my God forgives them. And if my God forgives them, then so should I. My beliefs ask me to extend the same grace and forgiveness that God was merciful enough to give me. It doesn't excuse them, or get them out of punishment. I, too, was SA'd as a little girl by my neighbor for years (older teen, me 4-7.) One day, I decided to quit drinking poison and hoping he'd die. I haven't spoken to him or seen him, but I "let it go." It's been so freeing and healing. I'll let God deal with him.

I don't "support" the Duggars, but I do feel empathy for the way things have been. I would feel that for anyone. My church has prison ministries in 12 different facilities in Alabama. I've seen their lives change and yes, many have been welcomed into our church after their release. I am blessed that my life hasn't included prison, crimes, or atrocities, but I'm glad to know that even if it did, there are people out there who would never give up on me.

(And I'm a "religious right wing" conservative Republican from the deep South, who most people believe are judgemental, hypocritical, and calloused, and just want the DP for everyone. )

I'm with you, and I'm a religious left-wing liberal Democrat from the urban northeast who most people think doesn't exist, lol!

Well friends, seems the Ashley Madison deal was untrue.

This doesn't mean this beast is anything but a pedophile. That stands.
