Josh Duggar has ‘no remorse’ about his affairs & he ‘joked’ about molestation

JD1

Since the Ashley Madison Hack blew up and Josh Duggar was revealed to be one of the grossest, most hypocritical douchebags of all time, he has been in the wind. Outlets keep claiming that Josh is totally staying at Reformers Unanimous in Illinois, and that he will be there for months. I have my doubts, but I’ll put a pin in that for a moment. Josh flew away to Bible rehab almost immediately after he was outed in the Ashley Madison Hack, and after it was discovered that he not only signed up for Ashley Madison (and paid for the “affair guarantee”), but he had undercover profiles on OKCupid, Facebook and more. And he was cyber-stalking p0rn stars, following them in Philadelphia and paying them thousands of dollars for creepy, rough sex. Last week, a second woman came forward to claim that she had an affair with Josh as well, and she said he is undeniably a “sexual predator” and “monster.”

So, what’s new? Entertainment Tonight spoke to a “a source close to the Duggar family” who claims that Josh had absolutely “no remorse” about cheating on his wife.

Josh Duggar is reportedly still in treatment for sex addiction, and was noticeably absent from Duggar family events including church services and the wedding of his cousin Amy Duggar in Arkansas over the weekend. But while Josh’s public statements have been filled with apologies for viewing porn online – a confession that has since been removed – and being unfaithful to his wife, Anna, a source close to the Duggar family tells ET Josh has “no remorse.”

“No remorse,” the source says. “He is not the person everyone thought they knew.”

Josh even joked about the molestation allegations when they first came to light earlier this year, the source tells ET.

The Duggar family has also discovered that Josh had multiple social media profiles through Facebook, OKCupid and other sites. Because Josh traveled for work “all the time,” the source says it wouldn’t be surprising if multiple mistresses reveal themselves.

“Anna didn’t check up on Josh because she trusted him,” the source says. “When she found out about the cheating, she just cried.”

Porn star Danica Dillon has alleged that Josh paid her to have sex with him twice, and that during one of those times, he was “violent.” Dillon spoke to ET exclusively earlier this month, revealing that Josh did not acknowledge that he had a wife and four children when she was with him. “He did not bring them up once,” Dillon said.

Josh’s actions have taken an obvious toll on not only Anna, but also his extended family. Their hit TLC reality show, 19 Kids and Counting, was canceled earlier this year. Amy Duggar’s new husband, Dillon King, tells ET he’s been approached by strangers on Twitter about possible accounts operated by Josh.

“I have random people contacting me asking me about multiple Twitter accounts and whether they’re Josh’s,” he says. “When I look, these accounts are full of tweets about porn.”

Still, family members are encouraging Anna Duggar to forgive her husband, according to sources close to the Duggar family. At the family’s church service on Sunday, their pastor, Jeff Crawford, echoed that sentiment. After giving what an eyewitness called a “fiery” sermon about the “secret sin” of pornography, Crawford told the crowd, “We’re for forgiveness. There is no judgment here.”

[From ET]

The most gag-inducing detail isn’t that Josh has “no remorse” (although that’s disgusting). No, the worst part is “Josh even joked about the molestation allegations when they first came to light earlier this year.” ARE YOU JOKING? When Jim-Bob and Michelle were in full ass-covering mode and two of Josh’s victims – HIS SISTERS!!! – came out and gave a weepy confessional trying to defend him, what was Josh doing? Oh, just joking around. No big deal, so he molested his sisters when he was a teenager, har har. So he was paying p0rn stars for rough sex, sorry not sorry. Get over it, right? Josh has some serious issues.

    The creep factor runs deep with this one.

    • Megan says:

      I’m sure he is deeply sorry … for not covering his tracks better.

    • cherylr says:

      That could be why they never let him speak on his own behalf. When you know what you are looking at he’s practically straight out of a John Waters movie.

      The fact that they are far more bent out of shape about his consensual affairs with adult women and interest in pornography then they were about him his molesting his little sisters is what skeeves me out.

      One is something between him and his wife (and God if you are into that line of discourse), the other is a criminal matter and a real mental health problem that needs to be dealt with before you just let him alone with babies.

    • Wren says:

      Wonder where he gets it from.

    • Mojoman says:

      I dont know which face I want to punch more, Kim Davis’s or his…!!!

  2. Tifygodess says:

    Of course he feels this way he grew up being taught all he has to do is say sorry and he’s saved. Not to mention nothing is ever the fault of the man its always on the woman and everyone else. What else should we expect? I’m not surprised by this one bit.

    • Pandy says:

      Poof! Sins forgiven!

    • Shambles says:

      This exactly. But… But… I said I was sorry! That means it all goes away. Forever and ever amen.

      To the “unnamed source”: What’s up Jessa?

    • Erandyn says:

      Oh for sure. I bet if it had been his wife caught cheating (let alone molesting kids and slapping hookers), it would be all “Whore of Babylon! Get ye hence!” and none of this “We’re for forgiveness. There is no judgment here.” BS.

      • Belle Epoch says:

        Good point! If a wife did a fraction of these stunts she’d be stoned to death – or at least shunned forever.

        The more we hear, the more we see how evil the parents really are. Josh is a VERY sick puppy and they enabled him for decades at the expense of his sisters – all to make money on TV. Vile, heinous, sick, stupid people creating more of same.

        Whenever I see a picture of the wife she looks like she was run over by a truck. WHY WON’T SHE LEAVE???

      • I was just thinking this! If it had been Anna…….she’d be front and center in mourning clothes, head bowed, big ass cross around her neck……we’d be hearing ALLLLL about her “rehab”, etc………

    • Crumpet says:

      No. He is the way he is because he is a pervert.

    • Tiffany :) says:

      Right, and their teachings say that if a woman is raped or physically violated, it only hurts the very exterior of their being. It doesn’t harm the “soul” AT ALL.

      Truly disgusting, awful people. All of ’em.

    • jess says:

      Exactly. None of this surprises me. What surprises me more it that all the men raised in this cult don’t behave the same way.

  3. Pedro45 says:

    No judgments…except for LGTBQ people who want civil rights and women who want control over their own bodies.

  4. kay says:

    “We’re for forgiveness. There is no judgment here.”
    ————————————————————————————-
    As long as you are a man.

  5. aims says:

    This doesn’t surprise me. This family is the sickest family as of late. Anna doesn’t deserve this. It’s infuriating.

  6. Neah23 says:

    Don’t for get he was also having unprotected sex with hookers while his wife was pregnant. I guess he found it hilarious that he could have infected his wife with a STD.

    • PunkyMomma says:

      That thought makes me even more nauseous. This creep doesn’t want redemption or forgiveness.

    • Crocuta says:

      I doubt he knows STDs can happen to “good Christian folks” like himself. HIV is only for gay men and the rest for people who have premarital sex.

      • Wren says:

        You’re probably right. He may only be vaguely aware of their existence anyway. Plenty of people think it can’t happen to them, it only happens to “bad” people. I doubt he’s an exception, if he even considers it at all.

      • Melissa says:

        Where would he have been taught about condoms, STDs, etc.? He grew up in the Duggar Bubble.

        NOT excusing this pig, but it just struck me that none of them know basic information about sex and STDs. That is mind blowing to me.

    • Who ARE these people? says:

      She is treated more like his concubine than his wife. Poor woman.

      • FLORC says:

        Concubine seems generous. I was thinkinng breeder and housemaid.

      • Who ARE these people? says:

        The strange thing is, FLORC, that I was trying to come up with something just a shade lower on the “mistreated woman” scale — your brain was more awake than mine.

    • Crumpet says:

      How much do you want to bet they teach NOTHING about STDs to their kids? Anyone? Anyone?

      • Wren says:

        Why would they? Their grasp of modern science seems tenuous at best, and anyway, you’re to wait for marriage to have sex and then only supposed to have sexual contact with that one person, ever. Perhaps two if the first spouse dies. If everyone followed the rules, STDs would not be a thing. But LOL like people ever follow all the rules all the time!

  7. Tiffany says:

    Well, sociopaths don’t.

    • AntiSocialButterfly says:

      Exactly! I came to say that it is estimated that 4% of the general population is sociopathic. Given the size of the brood, statistically they are toeing the line, so it is no stretch to say that he fits the behavioral profile of one.

      Incidentally, the size of the clutch means it is pretty likely they have a couple gay kids (run children, run away as fast and as far as you can!!!!), maybe a kleptomaniac, a borderline personality disorder,a depressive, someone with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and more. Shameful that those who need help will never be given access to it.

      I, for one, am enjoying the implosion.

    • FLORC says:

      I don’t think he’s that. He’s displayed remourse. He’s just not raised to value that as something wrong. Only something the evil and sinful and deceitful outside world claims is wrong.

      Different values and what is considered right and wrong means different reactions.

      • Izzy says:

        No, he has not. Remorse implies he is sorry for his actions.

        He is only sorry he got caught.

      • AntiSocialButterfly says:

        I don’t see his actions as genuinely remorseful. I think he is only saying what he thinks people want to hear as a means to his ends. That’s what a sociopath does.

      • FLORC says:

        Izzy/Anti
        Remourse, in his lifetime. Not remourse to this. A sociopath wouldn’t be able to display remourse at all. That’s the basis of my comment. Because of values given to him what we would be remourseful for he isn’t and his family isn’t.

        I’m not saying at all he’s shown remourse for this. Just saying he isn’t a sociopath. His traits do not suggest that.

      • justagirl says:

        The ‘Inside source’ claims he has no remorse, and isn’t who they thought…and that inside source would have had the same upbringing with the same “soft values”. Yet they have judged him as showing no remorse.

        He has a pattern of highly deceptive behavior, that is also predatory. Molesting his sisters when they were asleep & defenseless, and the babysitter. Setting up all those accounts under false names, etc. The alleged violent, rough sex.

        The deception, predatory behavior, false do-good image, lack of remorse, the joking which clearly shows a lack of empathy….dude is a straight up sociopath.

      • Crumpet says:

        No, he displayed remorse because he thought it would get him something. He is a straight up sociopath.

      • Belle says:

        Sociopaths are far from stupid, and are masters of manipulation. They may not feel guilt or empathy or remorse, but they learn very quickly how to mimic those emotions.

        I’m not saying Josh is a sociopath, but he’s certainly raising a lot of red flags.

    • pinetree13 says:

      Exactly. Sociopaths are stupid…they know to say they are remorseful and will manipulate to get what they want. They are never truly remorseful because they are unable to feel empathy ever. So it makes sense he would joke about the molestation if he is encabable of feeling empathy.

  8. Stacey says:

    Oh, Anna. Save yourself and your kids from this ridiculous cult. The world will help you.

    • mom2two says:

      This. Anna, take the kids and run.

    • Mixtape says:

      Yes. “Anna didn’t check up on Josh because she trusted him” OR “Anna didn’t check up on Josh because he wouldn’t give her the wifi password”? There is a very fine line between “submissive” and stupid. Don’t find yourself on the wrong side of it, Anna.

      • Melissa says:

        She probably doesn’t know how to use one of those computer machines. Seriously.

      • pinetree13 says:

        I am sure she was told that using a computer is only for work and only men work. She was probably told that using a computer or TV would be ungodly for her and to look to her bible only. She is most likely as naive as a small child in most matters.

  9. minx says:

    These kids aren’t very bright. The first one who breaks ranks and writes a big tell-all will get a LOT of money. The parents are grifters and it would be ironic if their kids followed in that path and blew up the whole charade.
    Jessa, get busy.

    • smcollins says:

      Exactly, Minx! Imagine the stories she could tell….holy sh*t! If anyone stands a chance at a normal life it’s her. This family has always creeped me out, but I do feel bad for the girls/women. What a sick and oppressive existence!

    • Wren says:

      It seems like she is. However, she’s so high-profile I don’t know if she’ll end up taking the plunge. It would be money but she’d be shunned by her family. She’s def the one leaking all this inside info, though. I think if her parents betrayed her, she would do it and write that book. Betrayed her in a new fresh way, I mean. She is restive, and clearly not enjoying the lack of cash flow.

    • Otaku Fairy says:

      I hope that one of these days the women and/or the kids is able to break free from this and have a healthier, happier, less oppressive life.

  10. frivolity says:

    Well, surprise, surprise. I never would have guessed! This never happens with self-righteous right-wing religious zealots!

  11. snakecharmer says:

    this whole family needs to fall off. the parents are smug and self rightous. i have never seen the show just the tabloid coverage but i do not get the appeal. the moms hair is SO BUSTED!!! that raggety perm LMFAO! of course she felt compelled to reproduce to the maximum limit. thanks for that michelle!

  12. Deb says:

    This whole clan of con artists disgusts me.

    • snakecharmer says:

      srssly. STFU and take a seat dirty-duggar clan.please retreat to a ‘religious’ compound that is isolated from the outside world. i loved how that chicks brother went HAM on facebook and laid it out about what that family is and how he wanted his sister out. voice of reason. the parents have narcissistic personality disorder. that is abundantly clear.

      • soxfan says:

        “that chick”?? You mean Anna, right? I think she deserves to have some respect here.

      • FLORC says:

        Jim-Bob? is that you? Snakecharmer seems like a tongue/cheek type of screen name 😉
        And a dig at the parents hasn’t thrown me

      • snakecharmer says:

        hey @sixer. i wasnt deliberately trying to be disrespectful. im from cali and i meant it in an informal way. i dont know if you read the whole quote but i stated that her brother was a stand up guy trying to save his sister from a bad situation and good on him.

        namaste

  13. J says:

    I will chip in for gas and snacks if we can get a group together to go down there to grab Anna and the kids, getting them the hell out of this family. She needs to be deprogrammed and those kids deserve a chance.

    • SillySimone says:

      Yeah, I used to say the same thing about the Mormon fundies and their female hording. The reality is, these women will fight as hard to stay in as the men will. While those who want to leave will escape.

  14. Abbicci says:

    “Gee guys, I don’t know what you’re all so upset about. Jesus has forgiven him. So no big whoops. JESUS, guys, JESUS has forgiven him. Why can’t you all just let it go. It’s getting harder and harder to be a white Christian man in this country. All y’all need to stop with persecuting us.” Said every fundy Christian in America.

    We keep railing against him and his kind will rally to him. It’s a quiver full of stupid. Add some greedy to that stupid and you get the Duggars trying to figure out how to still make money by being horrible people wrapped in the swaddling cloth of the baby Jesus.

  15. Annie says:

    What I think is incredibly sick is Anna being encouraged to forgive a husband who has no remorse. Why are “they” encouraging her to forgive and why in the world should she forgive a person who isn’t even sorry?!

    • sauvage says:

      BECAUSE SHE IS THE WOMAN AND THEREFORE IT IS ALL HER FAULT ANYWAY! What’s so hard to understand about that? *sarcasm*

    • Neah23 says:

      They’re encouraging her to make it look good to the public and to fix Josh and the Duggar clan image. Anna doing it because that’s what a “good” wife does and she most have done something wrong to make him seek out other women.

    • Otaku Fairy says:

      I don’t know how they think Anna staying pretties this situation up. But given the fact that there are misogynists inside and outside of religious cults who will use a woman’s staying with a man as evidence that he’s not nearly as bad as the evil librul media/’feminazis’ are making him out to be, I think I may have partially answered my own question.

      This is clearly some twisted version of ‘christianity’ they’re practicing if they’re telling her to stay and forgive, because I’m pretty sure most religious groups allow couples to divorce if there’s adultery. I don’t see how these people can pressure her to stay with a molester-turned- serial-cheater. She shouldn’t have even been encouraged to marry him in the first place.

  16. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    The whole thing is sickening, but the thing I want most of all is for Anna to get away.

    • captain says:

      I highly doubt it. Only if he’d loose support of their church, and even then perhaps separate, but not divorce, and live as a permanent grass widow.
      She was brought up with a very clear understanding, what’s right and what’s wrong and what are her duties in this life and as a wife.
      Could be that she believes that this is her life and her husband that God gave her, and that God gives her hurdles to overcome and become a better person, and she has to be brave and patient, and forgiving, and, and, and…. You know? Everything gets perceived and judged from this perspective and she hasn’t got even the proper education to have the ability to look tiefer, to think complexer.
      And to imagine with FOUR small children and such a horrible situation that she was totally unprepared for, any woman would heavily rely on support from her family, friends and church. What do you think they all tell her?

    • Madame says:

      I keep trying to stop my brain from imaging what Josh does to her and failing. Josh is probably the only man she has ever known sexually. Anna is regarded as his property. He probably attacks her at night when she is sleeping. She probably thinks it is okay if he rapes her because she is married. She probably doesn’t even understand what marital rape is. It has to be terrible when even an experienced sex worker is frightened of him. He probably treats Anna worse. How do we save her? She needs so much help. I am so worried about her and her children. I look at her body language and I see her shrinking in on herself.

      Those Duggars are evil.

  17. Harrison says:

    Forgive? Sure. But first, make a book deal, leave that god-forsaken man (and that ‘church’ and probably that town) and start building a new life for you and your children based on truth. You can do it Anna!

  18. Giddy says:

    I wonder if Jim Bob and Michelle will ever realize that they created the atmosphere for this with their repressive, judgmental family life. When natural curiosity is stifled and labeled as sin, a child can become twisted in their desires. The Duggar family life is laid bare as a failed experiment. I doubt that at this age he Josh change his secret wants and needs and it sounds like he doesn’t want to. Someone needs to intervene and save Anna.

    • hopscotchchampion says:

      That requires self-reflection. And the possibility of acknowledging that the their leader, Gothard, could be wrong. To consider that Gothard twists scripture to suit his purposes, leave destruction in his wake and ruins lives would be akin to them becoming atheists.

  19. Kelly says:

    Between this kind of story and the one about the Hungarian female reporter that tripped the father and son running, I am sickened about our world. What a piece of worthless trash some people are.

    I really hope that poor wife dumps him and the family that support him.

    I need a puppy right now.

    • Giddy says:

      At least that reporter was fired and her cruelty exposed. Her fellow professionals were disgusted by her actions. Those videos of her were truly shocking.

      My dog gets me past a lot of these moments that are disheartening. He’s asleep on my foot right now and that gives me doggy comfort.

      • sauvage says:

        In my case, it’s my cat cleaning herself leaning against my legs, helping me right now. Thank God for pets when one is sick with one’s fellow humans momentarily.

  20. The Eternal Side-Eye says:

    Not surprised in the least.

    These kinds of cults are often filled with hypocrisy and it’s no secret the women are held to a million rules while the men ‘somehow’ find themselves in bars and strip clubs on the normal side of town.

    Truth be told from his perspective why would he be sorry? From his perspective his parents taught him his sisters are worthless and some part of him probably believes that since ‘he got to them first’ they’re even more useless and worthy of disrespect. Does anyone think he really loves Anna? No. They’re an arranged marriage and clearly other than knocking her up for appearances she’s not a part of his life.

    It’s a disgusting and well known pattern. These groups build women up to be the symbol of the Virgin Mary then can’t engage in normal healthy relationships with them because they’ve put them on some unreachable sick pedestal.

  21. Megan says:

    Jessa really wants the attention doesn’t she? I’m intrigued to see what she does, so her game is working

    • Who ARE these people? says:

      I wonder if she is attention-seeking or rather finding a more Duggar-acceptable way of expressing her anger toward the brother who abused her.

    • SillySimone says:

      Read my comment below. I do not believe this to be Jessa. At first I thought it was Ben leaking or his dad. But I now believe Dillion is the anonymous source and that would make more sense, since he is not in the cult.

      Another thing, for all of Jessa’s seemingly rebel at heart appearances, she absolutely believes the cult training. If anyone would be more likely to break free, it would be Jill. While she may continue being an Evangelical Christian, I can see her becoming far more moderate.

      • missy says:

        I totally agree. Jill seemed one of the most genuine of the kids. IF she wants to live in truth she will be the one to break free… I think its Amy and her new hubby also.

      • pinetree13 says:

        I agree. Jessa gets praise for being the prettiest and she is living the life she wants. I think she genuinely is in to Ben. I think the other sisters who get stuck with a man they don’t want and didn’t get the same attention/praise as Jessa are more likely to break free.

    • Anna says:

      I don’t even watch this show so take this with a grain of salt but I think Jessa and Ben are completely entranced with the fame and fortune and will do anything to maintain the lifestyle they have become accustomed to. She sees the advantage in having the world’s support for what she endured at the hands of her pedo brother. It is great that she has finally had the opportunity to speak out against her abuser, but I also thing her greed may save her. I think part of her upset was that the revelations about her brother derailed her promising t.v. career which means she would have suffered for nothing and her one opportunity (sans education or any other job) was squashed. It was also good because she could let the secret out and also have sympathy from the world (and t.v.-viewing public). You know she had visions of sugarplums with dollar signs dancing in her head when she got married and pregnant and there was talk of the spin-off show, but not only did her brother steal her innocence and make her childhood a living hell, she lost her chance for fame and fortune when his AM stuff was revealed. I think she and her hubby may be just worldly enough that they would be willing to go the reality t.v. route in a secular fashion and willingly distance themselves from the cult. Hope so. Somebody should get paid and the statute of limitations has run out for most of his young victims, if anyone would even dare to take him to court…

  22. Talie says:

    Why would he feel remorse when he’s been taught that men have absolute power? All those whackadoo teachingsl backfired on this clown show.

  23. Dawn says:

    Why should he feel remorse when there is absolutely nothing happening to him? When he was a kid his parents swept the molestation under the rug and pretended to fix it by putting locks on the girls’ doors. And now the Ultra-Christian conservatives are doing the same thing by blaming everyone else for his conduct. It seems to me that the only person to tell the truth is Anna’s brother and it is a truth no one else wants to admit to. I don’t know if he will ever change or feel any remorse but I do know I would want to keep my girls away from him if I was his wife.

  24. Miran says:

    Of course he has no remorse, it’s obviously all Anna’s fault.

  25. SillySimone says:

    Run Anna, Run!

    You know what I find interesting? I was curious the last few articles around in the legit tabloids (like People, etc.) as to who a source would be with such information, ranging from Jessa’s pregnancy to Josh’ lack of remorse. I used to work in a news room and often, anonymous sources would also often go on the record with comments. There are things that as an anonymous source someone can say that they cannot say on the record (legally or for whatever reason).

    So when a civilian is reading an article, what they see is an anonymous source revealing information and a named source commenting on that information. When a news worker reads an article, we see the source and the person commenting are likely one and the same.

    So now we see that Dillon is the one leaking and it gives this information much more credibility. Amy is likely venting to him as she learns from her family what is going on. Amy has publicly gone against Josh. But I don’t think Amy would go as far as to make things worse for her family. Dillion on the other hand, has all of the information from Amy and it does put him in a credibly circle as a source. Especially since the wedding planning and such has put DilIion in direct contact with the Duggars. I am now more inclined to believe this story than I would be with a simple anonymous source.

    And I really wish that Dillion would leak those Twitter accounts so we can see what Joshly Madison was up to.

  26. Malificent says:

    Ya know, I was waiting to chuckle maniacally at the Duggars when the statistically unavoidable gay Duggar child flew screaming out of the nest. I was going to enjoy watching them spin that.

    However, a situation like that would have had the positive aspect (hopefully) of a Duggar child finding a happy place for themselves in the real world. I don’t get any wicked glee out of seeing the results of a sociopath who victimizes women and children.

  27. SG says:

    I sure hope someone in that cult clan is enlightened enough to urge Anna to get tested for STDs

  28. sassy says:

    i’m sorry but the parents are creepy too especially the father -who the hell thinks its normal to make out with your wife in front of the kids to TEACH THEM HOW TO KISS…….just EWWWWWW

  29. VelvetPaw says:

    Well as expected, here we go…..

    He will never change, it will be worse……

  30. Lucy says:

    I can only feel sorry for Anna and their kids. They have basically no escape.

  31. CatJ says:

    I am just recalling the lyrics of Cher’s song, “Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves”,
    “you hear it from the people of the town, they call us…..
    but, every night all the men would come around,
    and lay their money down…..”

    This cult makes me so angry with their self-righteous, hypocritical, proselytizing bullshit. I hope this s**tstorm, the Kentucky Kim religious right nonsense will open eyes to this dangerous sickness perpetrated by these religious zealots. I have had enough of this seamy underbelly of evangelism that is so pervasive and illogical….

  32. Tahlia says:

    Last time I checked the Christian Bible, Jesus *did* forgive. But IIRC, he followed it up w/ “go & sin no more,” or something to that affect. Funny…haven’t heard THAT out of his sycophants’ mouths…

    From Aimee Semple McPherson to Jim Bakker to Jimmy Swaggart to Paul Shanley (and countless others that didn’t get the worldwide attention) it seems that Christian zealots who make it big always go for the forbidden apple – either by ripping off millions of dollars from their “ministries” or having extra-marital affairs or molesting little kids.

    They are just as susceptible (even moreso given their fame and fortune) to the sins of greed, lust and perversion as anyone else on the street. The difference is they just know how to market themselves and take advantage of the position they’re in to feed their appetites.

    I believe Josh is a sociopath and no amount of forgiveness and religious rehab can cure him. If his whackdoodle family and cult continue to support him, and more importantly, his wife continues to submit to him, the cracks will become too big to maintain the sham. I hope more salacious news keeps coming out about him because it will highlight the perversity of this family and cult, maybe shining a much needed light on others in the family (coughjimbobcough) who have sinned.

    I was watching an old episode of “Who the Bleep Did I Marry,” last night, and the circumstances were eerily similar. The husband, unbeknownst to the the wife, had been charged with molesting a child when he was 14. Due to his record being sealed, he wasn’t registered as a sex offender. The wife divorced him for cheating and during their separation discovered that he had been molesting their three children. One was an infant daughter who ended up dying because of his actions.

    The episode itself was very disturbing, but I couldn’t help thinking about Josh Duggar during it. I hope their children are safe. And I hope Anna learns how to protect her children and watch for warning signs!

    • Harrison says:

      No. His children are not safe. He is a pedophile. As such, he doesn’t think about them as ‘his chdren.’ They are just adrenaline-inducing nearby targets.

    That’s it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ihave had it!!!! JD is a sick monster raised by sick monster parents. Any woman who marries into this bubbling crude gene pool..good luck. I pray for these women and their kids, but I find I cannot pray for the Duggars. I believe they are truly evil. Not misguided, not a religious “sect” but truly bad people.

    Anna looks like she could be one of his sisters, which is probably why he picked her. Ugh.

    The whole Duggar clan makes my stomach turn, including Anna who should be taking advantage of her brother’s offer to help her and her babies escape this sick pervert.

      Or rather why his father picked her for him….

      • (Original, not CDAN) Violet says:

        You might well be right. I suspect the incestuous pedo is a chip off the old block so I wouldn’t put it past his dad to do that.

    You are all forgetting something. Forgiveness is given to those who REPENT, who are sorry for what they’ve done. Josh will not and does not deserve forgiveness because he doesn’t believe what he did was wrong. So screw him, I don’t forgive him and nether should anyone else.

  38. MrsNix says:

    If he really has no remorse, then he’s worse than a douche bag. He’s a sociopath and they offered that poor girl up to him and are keeping her there. The skeevy evil just doesn’t stop with this guy.

  39. Danskins says:

    I wish Anna would treat Josh the same as the wife treated her lying, cheating husband in the book/film “Gone Girl”.

    Anna, you need to be gone girl! 🚙💨

    I’m hoping Josh will man up and admit he doesn’t want to be married anymore. He can divorce Anna and give her the house, custody of the kids, and tons of money for child support, then go on his merry way, screwing anyone willing, taking drugs, and ending up in the gutter. Of course, in that family, he’d probably go back when he’s dying of cirrhosis of the liver or something, say “Sowwy, Daddy, pwease forgive me?” and be accepted back with open arms.
