Duggars in the news.

Bet she moves back to her parent’s home with the children. If it were my D and grandchildren, I would go get them!

Strike one: you were a hypocrite to your place of employment.
Strike two: you were a hypocrite to your family’s place of employment and their “moral fiber”. (and maybe they were too)
Strike three: you were a hypocrite to other groups of people who you belittled (gay people for one) and took down verbally when you yourself were the best example of many of the things you preached against.

You’re out.

“… the largest number of users were in DC, many of the email addresses were government ones.”

Boom. Talk about using a single email account for both business and personal affairs.

I am surprised other known names haven’t been revealed yet.

Maybe the wife of Jared Fogle will inspire Anna to dump his sorry arse and get her kids out of there, regardless of whatever “covenants” she agreed to.

I know plenty of fundamentalist Christians who have divorced, and they mostly have happily remarried too, even when there were no accusations of infidelity–the one thing that used to be the “get out of Dodge free” card among that set.

I didn’t even know Jared was married. Somehow I can’t picture it

I feel very sorry for both Josh and Anna. I blame Jim Bob and Michelle for not getting him proper legitimate psychological counseling after the molestation incidents. Hard labor and prayer do not address the underlying issues. I hope Josh seeks real treatment and perhaps saves his marriage in the process.

The Duggars put a tremendous focus on sex and specifically on squashing and repressing natural sexual urges and feelings. So much of their lifestyle is arranged around not stirring up feelings in the boys - from modest dress to no co-ed swimming - no dancing, etc. Note - I never saw concern about stirring up sexual feelings in the girls - just the boys. And then of course all the courtship rules - side hugs, no kissing, no hand holding until engaged. Such a repressive culture. Then you imagine the guilt and shame a teen would feel when they do have completely normal sexual feelings.

I would love to see an article by a sex therapist/counselor on how this upbringing has contributed or caused Josh’s current issues.

Yep, with a couple of kids. ^^^^

Son had his picture taken with Jared last summer at a soccer game. Now he’s like “ewww”.

I wonder how many politicians will be outed by this hack.

Um, isn’t a covenant supposed to have two sides to it?

And I cannot believe how people can use their work account for anything beyond above board matters. Then again, you aren’t even supposed to use it for non-work related purposes!

Josh’s official statement has been revised to remove his reference to viewing porn.

I wonder why???

And Madison85, your first name isn’t Ashley, is it? :wink:

Wonder what Anna will do?

Quite interesting - why bother editing the stmt on the Duggar website now? The world has already seen the longer version and every news site is quoting it. The official stmt now reads:

Earlier today, it said:

Given that Anna’s father has a prison ministry, I’d have expected more due diligence from him on the Josh background situation. Josh seems to have mastered the lip service apology, but I feel bad for Anna, who probably saw the marriage as a step up (TV family etc). Maybe her parents also saw it that way - remember how uncomfortable she was when they left her alone in the restaurant with Josh when he proposed?

Agree that saying you were unfaithful doesn’t necessarily mean physical relations with another. (Remember Jimmy Carter’s “I’ve looked on a lot of women with lust. I’ve committed adultery in my heart many times. This is something that God recognizes I will do–and I have done it–and God forgives me for it.”

So, we don’t know how JD defines “unfaithful.” Or “cheating” or “double life.”

The person I blame is Joshua J Duggar. He had choices. He made them.

So basically, all the things he allegedly believes in – saving yourself for marriage, the sanctity of marriage, God knowing what’s in your heart – he doesn’t believe in.

Well, I assume he is making the public statement in response to the news that his name and credit card number are included in the client list of that represensible website. If he weren’t a member of the website, you would expect him to deny it and say his identity had been stolen, etc. I view his statement as confirmation that the news reports are true.

It is just so bizarre.

Man, I should really stop reading these things - here’s an article from People.com - again, speculation and “word from a source” - but indicates Anna would not leave him and MAYBE accepts some of the blame (pulling my hair out!!!)!!! http://www.people.com/article/josh-duggar-cheating-scandal-anna-duggar-will-not-leave-source?xid=socialflow_facebook_peoplemag
