Josh Duggar’s Wife Anna Duggar Sent Joseph Duggar Multiple Emails After His Arrest: Read Letters

Josh Duggar’s wife, Anna Duggar, sent brother-in-law Joseph Duggar multiple emails after his arrest for child molestation

How nice of Anna to talk to Joe, in a letter, to remind him everything is recorded on the phone, and that she put money on his "books" for him. Anna already knows the drill. It is like "Mafia Wives" in Arkansas, with long dresses.

It feels like circling the wagons and victim be damned.

I hope these grifters are exposed for what they are: abusive men taking advantage of vulnerable children for sexual pleasure.

While I definitely have a level of sympathy for Kendra, it only goes so far when you are an adult and are responsible for children. I've spent my entire upbringing surrounded by homeschoolers and those in the IBLP spheres. Honestly I am a few phone calls away from being able to hang out with this family myself if I wanted to (spoiler alert, I have never wanted to ). MANY people who grew up in this, with no formal education and "no choices" have ended up running away, spending time homeless, INCLUDING WITH CHILDREN, to escape all of this abuse especially to spare their children of this life. There are choices out there. They are hard. They go against everything you've been raised to do. But MANY people in these circles have done it (and been completely estranged and ostracized for it). But there's always a way out. Kendra and Anna have chosen to stay. That is their choice as American adults who have children. Think of that what you will.

So many parallels between this cult, and FLDS.

Joseph, I’m so sorry for what you are going through. Mom & I love you very much!” Jim Bob wrote in an email dated Mar. 25. “Looks like you have a long road ahead of you, but God will get you through. You have made some terrible decisions, but God has already forgiven you if you have asked him."

Kendra is doing well overall. She is trusting in the Lord," Jim Bob said. "She loves you very much! Your kids are going to be okay. Our whole family has pulled together to help. Several of the sisters and sister-in-law's have taken Kendra out and spent a lot of time with her. It is ridiculous that they charged Kendra and arrested her, we've hired [redacted] to help Kendra. We were praying that we can get her charges dropped. You would be so proud of your Brothers and grateful to them for how they've all stepped up and are helping with all the details of your business and helping Kendra."

"I think Friday has probably been my hardest day, but that's crazy to say because Wednesday was crazy hard," Kendra told Joseph during a call from the Washington County Detention Facility on March 24, obtained by People magazine.

Wednesday had been the day Joseph was arrested, followed by Kendra on Friday.

"But it's just like, when you then take my babies from me, they were who I was just going to pour my life into,” she said.

Joseph told her the children are her “purpose right now.”

In an earlier call on March 22, Kendra told Joseph, "From what I hear they are doing good.”

But in another call, with the date not given, Kendra tells Joseph the kids are her “number one priority right now.”

She said, "I just want you to know, through all of this, whatever happens, that's who's coming first," and added "then we'll just see where the rest of it leads us and try to put the pieces together."

Kendra Duggar tells Joseph Duggar she no longer has their kids in prison phone calls

Having a second piece of cheesecake is a bad decision.

SA'ing a little child is something very different.

Having a second piece of cheesecake is a bad decision.

SA'ing a little child is something very different.

Who cares about whether Joe has been forgiven or not when there is a young teen who has to deal with what Joe did to her.



The victim should be the first concern, even if the perpetrator is your son.

The victim should be the first concern if the perpetrator is your husband.

The victim should be your first concern if the perpetrator is yourself.



This family is the ultimate train wreck. Help me look away.

MOO

You can't be forgiven if you aren't sorry.

The link for the Florida Statute. Joe Duggar can face a minimum of 25 years in Florida state prison, to a maximum of life in prison. Either way, he will have to register as a sex offender, and also be under supervision for his life.

That would be something doing life in FL away from his family.

Florida state prisons are not nice, friendly places, dedicated to rehabilitation. They are run by gangs, you either join one for protection or you are alone. He wouldn't fit into a Hispanic gang, black, veteran, drug runner, so that leaves Aryan. It is absolutely epidemic. Maybe he could ask to serve in Arkansas. They might do that.

Inside the Twisted Ties Between Joseph Duggar and Wife Kendra's Families — As Couple Faces Possible Prison Time Over 'Child Endangerment' Allegations

Joseph Duggar and wife Kendra's families go way back, with some rather striking connections between the deeply religious households.

radaronline.com

Kendra is the oldest of 9 children. She was homeschooled, and her parents are living with her and Joe.

That is a lot of responsibility. Kendra Duggar had a spouse chosen for her, by her father. He is a Baptist minister. Kendra Duggar is a victim here, as much as any other woman and child in this family/cult.

her parents are living with them??

ETA: I see her siblings are not all adults yet

 

[LadyL]

Grandparents lived in the home where the grandchildren were/could be locked in their bedrooms. Sick.

I don't think this can be right unless maybe they moved in (with their children) to take care of Kendra's kids while she was spirited away by the Duggars?
