L&S: Anna Duggar is pregnant for the fifth time after visiting Josh in rehab

duggar4

I didn’t cover this over the holidays because the news was so depressing to me, but the tabloids claimed that Anna Duggar visited her husband Josh Duggar in sex/offender rehab sometime around Christmas. Anna allegedly took the Duggars’ private plane up to Illinois to see him and spend some time with him so he wouldn’t be alone (or surrounded by fellow offenders) for the holidays. Anna also went to visit him at least one other time, probably two more times, before the holidays. And it seems like they were conjugal visits. Life & Style’s sources say that Anna believes she’s pregnant again. Seriously. It was only a matter of time.

Could Josh Duggar soon be a father for the fifth time? The disgraced reality star’s long-suffering wife, Anna, reportedly believes she is expecting after an overnight visit to her troubled hubby’s rehab facility.

“Anna announced that she thinks she is pregnant again,” a family insider told Life & Style. “She believes the baby is a sign that God has forgiven Josh for his many sins, and she’s vowed to stand by her husband.”

It may seem shocking that the 28-year-old mother of four would be excited by the discovery. As RadarOnline.com reported, Josh, 27, confessed to cheating and harboring a secret porn addiction in August, following the shocking news he was a member of affair-seeking website Ashley Madison. He was promptly shipped off to Bible-based treatment center Reformers Unanimous in Rockford, Illinois, where he will likely remain until late February.

In the midst of all his troubles, porn star Danica Dillon, 28, has sued Josh for $500,000, alleging he assaulted and battered her during two paid sex sessions last year. (Josh denied ever meeting the adult film actress, and his lawyers claimed to have photos and videos proving his innocence.)

Anna and Josh are already parents to Mackynzie, 6, Michael, 4, Marcus, 2, and Meredith, 5 months.

[From Radar]

“She believes the baby is a sign that God has forgiven Josh for his many sins…” That’s not how pregnancy or GOD works, people. You don’t get pregnant because God has decided to “forgive” the baby-daddy. And if she had gone on the pill, would that have been a sign that God was still wondering about Josh? Anyway, while this comes from Life & Style and Radar and should be taken with a grain of salt, I believe that this will happen or is already happening. Anna is going to stay with him. She’s going to have more babies. And Josh will probably keep escalating further and further.

    Ugh, gross.

    • Tate says:

      Ugh was my first reaction too. So sad.

    • doofus says:

      and “gross” was MY first reaction.

      and how can you have photos and videos that prove you never met someone?…that makes no sense. I could show any number of photos and videos that I’m in and my BF isn’t, even though we’ve been together 20+ years…would that “prove” that we never met?…

      • Otaku fairy says:

        He and his team sure did take a LONG time to deny the Danica Dillon accusation. Probably getting the lies together.

    • Lake Mom says:

      I can’t. I just can’t.

      I’ve always want to slap that stupid smug smile off his face but now I just want to slap her too. smh

      • Sabrine says:

        I have no sympathy for this dumb as a post serial breeder at all. She’s as bad as the rest of them, stunningly stupid and naive, only too eager to fall for the BS he feeds her. This whole family makes me want to gag.

      • qwerty says:

        Some people felt sorry for her in previous posts. There is no need for that, really. She’s choosing to breed and raise kids with a sex offender. She’s not the victim here.

    • Sarah(too) says:

      Yep. All my sympathy for her is gone. She’s as dumb as a post and complicit in this nonsense.

    • JohnWayneLives says:

      Fuking vomit

    • NYer says:

      The only party of this that surprises me is that they have a private plane. WTF??

    • SNAP says:

      It gives a great meaning to “i believe in god, it’s his fanclub i fear”…

      • Lille says:

        Nyer, it is one of those little planes, that people fly as a hobby. I think I remember their second oldest son owns it, and just occasionally uses it to fly them around. It’s not really any more expensive than a fishing boat.
        Anyway, I went down a rabbit hole looking that up last time it was mentioned, and I read all about it on free jinger. They even track his flight records, which was how they (educatedly) guessed which rehab he was in. Other media outlets ran with the info, but I don’t know if the Duggars ever confirmed that he was or was not going to that rehab.

  2. BendyWindy says:

    “That’s not how this works. That’s not how ANY of this works!”

    Sigh.

    • Mia V. says:

      So, in her line of thinking, if a woman is raped and she gets pregnant, God is forgiving the rapist? Those people really need to be quiet.

      • aims says:

        If anything this is entrapment. Jesus, this is so sick and sad. She will forever be married and pregnant to a predator.

    • Erinn says:

      If she miscarries (which I’d never wish on anyone) – would that mean that God changed his mind? Sadly, I suspect that to them, it would mean the God was just punishing her for doubting Josh.

      I hate these people. I hate ANY religious zealot type though.

      • the_blonde_one says:

        If god REALLY is knocking people up out of forgiveness and wants me to buy that, knock the DUDE up.

      • zinjojo says:

        @ the_blonde_one Yes! If that’s the way god works, then knock up the guy.

        Whatever small degree of sympathy I had for her is gone; she’s so brainwashed, ignorant and uneducated. And she’s obviously chosen to stay, and stupid enough to get pregnant again. And stupid enough to say things like another pregnancy shows God’s forgiveness. Ugh, these people.

        My parents are like this — they went down the crazy fundie rabbit hole about thirty years ago, and the amount of absurdly stupid stuff my mom says is mind boggling — just like this. It makes me ragey, and that’s why I live thousands of miles away!

      • Wren says:

        Of course it would. When good things happen it’s because of what the men have done. When bad things happen it’s because of what the women have done. It’s quite simple, really.

      • Senaber says:

        @Wren it’s all Eve’s fault, don’t ya know. That’s the eternal punishment.

  3. Betti says:

    Well of course she is – she would have been told that its her god given duty to breed more victims for her peado husband.

    Josh is never going to get the treatment he needs – he will become more controlling and secretive with his family so that he can abuse the children. As sick as that is, he will abuse them. They are his only outlet for his perversions now.

    • swak says:

      Have said from the beginning, I really worry about his daughters. If he could molest his sisters, he could definitely molest his daughters. His sons may be safe, maybe not.

  4. NewWester says:

    So Josh Duggar is at a sex rehab place and gets his wife pregnant? What kind of place is that?
    I am waiting for another pile of crap to hit the fan with this guy. I am so hoping it is some scandal with a gay hustler or a gay hook up site

    • Betti says:

      Dunno about him but i get the gay predator vibe from jim Bob.

    • laura says:

      So true! Imagine a drug rehab place that allowed you to go do a line every so often, you know, just for old time’s sake?!

      I’m hoping this isn’t true but wouldn’t surprise me… This family are disgusting.

      • Lindsay says:

        No, that’s not a fair comparison. Abstaining is the only solution for drug addiction but with things like food or sex it doesn’t work. It’s about trying to develop a healthy relationship with it so it doesn’t control your life.

        Not that everything about this isn’t sick and twisted. I also really doubt he’s actually getting the help he needs.

      • Veronica says:

        It is an entirely fair comparison. Food is necessary for survival. Sex is not, however instinctual it may be. His sex addiction is damaging to people around him, especially women. He shouldn’t be engaging in sexual behaviors until he’s addressed what’s driving him to this behavior. The adjustment to a HEALTHY sexual lifestyles come post-rehab with a slow reintroduction to the behavior.

    • Lama Bean says:

      Yeah I’m not buying that a sex offender rehab place allows conjugal visits. But… This is “faith-based rehabilitation “, for what it’s worth.

      • Erinn says:

        THIS.

        This isn’t a REAL facility by any means. It’s one of their ridiculous sham groups that thinks all things will be solved with the power of prayer and further brainwashing. They don’t look for solutions, they just bury the problem deeper.

      • swak says:

        What I see id that if the rehab believes, as their religion does, that women were put on earth to procreate, then yes, I can believe they allow conjugal visits.

    • KK says:

      @Lindasy while it is true that drug addiction is completely abstained and sex addiction is about finding a healthy balance, that does not start in the rehab clinic. My friend is a rehab counselor at a rehab clinic that specializes in sex addiction. If a client has sex, they are asked to leave. They abstain while in rehab then work on finding that healthy balance in aftercare with their therapist.

      • Jag says:

        So his having sex with his wife just proves – as many of us have thought – that he isn’t in a real sex rehab facility.

    • kcarp says:

      How does anyone know if he is having sex with his wife there? what has been said that makes people think that this is true? Just because they have some really bad ideas and beliefs doesn’t mean he is having sex with his wife while in rehab. I don’t think it is fair to present this as fact when it just seems like something they would do.

      • K2 says:

        They think sex with wives is god-given and holy, and sex without is from the devil. They also believe that if the wife doesn’t put out at all times, without regard to her own feelings (mental or physical) she isn’t meeting his needs, and he will probably stray, and the poor lamb was left exposed to the wolf (aka the devil). They think any sex outside marriage is the devil tempting, but within marriage is pure and holy. So they’d not have an issue with his sleeping with his wife. They don’t regard sex addiction as a psychiatric issue, but a spiritual one.

  5. Shambles says:

    His face makes me nauseous. If this is true, she’s no better. God save the children.

    • Janis says:

      I guess it’s too much to hope that those children are apprehended by the state, isn’t it? Anna is a mother and an adult – she should take up her brother’s offer of help and get away from that family for all of their sakes. Someone save those kids!

    • Betsy says:

      +1
      I really don’t mind if he’s cropped out, black barred or blurred. I don’t like seeing his nauseating sweaty sex predator face. Especially with his small children.

  6. Someone says:

    These people. I just don’t understand why they are so adverse to logic, reasoning, COMMON SENSE. Listen, if I I go outside in -20 degree weather with no clothes and Just wander… Is it gods will that I get hypothermia ??!
    I used to feel bad for Anna and part of me still does because I think she’s a brainwashed victim of this whole religion/cult that takes women and beats them with with expectations of subordination. But, I went on her instagtram and read the hateful and vile stuf she posted… I don’t care anymore. At some point you have to look out into the world and compare your actions and thoughts to the alternative perspectives that exist out there. Reflect and see if maybe the choices you’ve made and the beliefs you have are in need of alteration or revamping or need to just be burned. This family is so toxic and I’m sad they’re adding another helpless individual to it if this is the case.
    END OF 7:30 AM RANT lol

    • Chrissy says:

      Totally agree.

    • Ankhel says:

      I went on her Instagram too. There’s literally nothing but children in her head. Her entire life and full focus is her children and other children. She’s obsessed with abolishing abortion. There can never be enough children apparently. Imagine our world if we all shared that sentiment! But it explains some of her decisions.

    • lizzie says:

      +1 this crap made me feel really angry today for some reason

    • The Eternal Side-Eye says:

      The second you look at these women’s actions and how they bully and condemn other women it becomes real easy to stop pitying them.

      I blame her for this.

    • Betsy says:

      Just because she has abhorent views doesn’t make her any less browbeaten or brainwashed. We know she has siblings outside the cult, but we have no idea what if any reality they are able to share with her.

  7. Laura says:

    This is gross and sad. That’s not how love should work, or how a child should be brought into the world. But what do I know. I’m just a childless, godless heathen to the Duggars.

  8. CTgirl says:

    Wait a minute, she went near his junk after everything came to light?! They are both idiots and deserve each other. Their children deserve better.

    • Betsy says:

      She doesn’t have agency. His sexual wants are supposed to be hers. Which says to me that all sexual relations in their relationship are basically non-consensual, but she isn’t allowed to say no.

  9. Ankhel says:

    So God hands out children as a sign of forgiveness? Expect a thousand criminals to display their babies when facing parole boards…

    • pinetree13 says:

      You’d be amazed how many people think like this. When I was trying to conceive I visited American internet forums on the subject to chat with people and there were A TON of people that had Christian friends or relatives that told them not to pursue infertility treatments like IVF because their infertility was because “God didn’t mean for them to have children” similar sentiments for miscarriage “God didn’t intend for that child to be born”. Then there was the less overtly hurtful, constant praising of God when one did get pregnant. “I’m so blessed I’m pregnant! Thank you God!” Which basically means you believe that the ones that are still trying WEREN’T blessed by God, WEREN’T as deserving as you.

      Basically, religious people say some really offensive things and behave like total narcissists. “God doesn’t want YOU to be a mother, he wants ME to be a mother.” This is how they legitimately think.

      • Ankhel says:

        Wow, how insensitive and rude! I’m sorry you had to experience that. Those people might want to read the Bible a little, those bits where God tests the ones he loves the most. It seems you have the good sense to rise above their stupidity, luckily! I really hope you’re in a happier place now.

  10. Brunswickstoval says:

    So the Duggers have a private plane? How does that happen? Where I live that is a sign of serious wealth.
    It seriously makes no sense to me how these people were ever popular.

    • ataylor says:

      They have a small plane that John David flies for a living. At one point, I think they might have had two. Either way, he frequently flies other fundie families around the central and southern US from time to time.

  11. Purple Ivy says:

    Noooo Anna……

  12. peanut says:

    Brutal news.

  13. Ninks says:

    Gross. So this faith based rehab place sounds about as successful as we predicted it would be.

    I’d like to know what kind of photos and video the lawyers have that prove Josh never met or assaulted the woman who is suing him. Unless he literally films his every movement how could a photo or video prove that he never met or assaulted her?

  14. Mimz says:

    I don’t usually read a lot of the Duggar articles because it’s depressing and it’s also very dumb. And Sad. But, correct me if I’m wrong, these people also don’t believe in contraceptives, right? So they just have sex and have babies?
    WHY??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? x a million

    is my question. Why at 28 you are having your 5th Child with a sex offender?

    Blows my mind.

    • I Choose Me says:

      Because she believes her sole purpose in life is to have as many babies as ‘God’ wants her to have.

      I feel sorry for the children.

      • pinetree13 says:

        It’s super sad for the children. There’s a few mega-families in my family as well and they have flat out told me that they wished their parents hadn’t had as many children. As soon as you start approaching any where near the double digits (ie over 6 kids) the kids are basically emotionally neglected no matter how much time you try and spend with them. There are only so many hours in the day and you just cannot meet the emotional/mental needs of that many children. You seriously cannot. So siblings nurture siblings in place of mom and Dad but it isn’t the same. Not too mention, usually these types of families don’t have reality TV to boost their income so they are constantly under financial strain as well. Multiple kids jammed in each room, no money for their education set aside, no trips anywhere, limited food. It’s a hard life for most kids in large families.

      • Tourmaline says:

        Seriously, they believe that is women’s role in life. Pretty much their ONLY role.

  15. Darkladi says:

    How totally gross.

  16. Patricia says:

    I absolutely have sympathy for the fact that she was brought up in this cult and coerced into thinking that her one and only value is to bear children.
    But STILL… There comes a point as a mother where you have to open your eyes and look at the situation you are bringing children into. She should have realized quite a while ago that her children are not in a safe and healthy situation with that bastard around.
    I’ve lost sympathy now. An innocent baby does not deserve to be born into this mess. These two need to have some goddam self control and stop procreating.

    Also how does she not know if she’s pregnant? Pee on a freakin stick and save us all the drama.

    • jmacky says:

      @Patricia. YES! many of us grow up with abuse and/or other forms of programming and at some point, a survival instinct kicks in…if not for yourself, for your babies. she may not be able to see her own misery because her self worth and identity is tied to her famous (in their world) POS husband but she is culpable for bringing children into an abusive and dangerous environment. i absolutely wanted to “Save Anna” but her obsession with producing children yet failing provide the basic of a safe home is imbecilic. these people are insane and criminal. they fear abortion but not child abuse?? she’s just like her mother in law. i hope Josh is arrested and put in real prison sooner rather than later. he will continue his violence.

      • Original Kay says:

        This.
        My mother has NPD . I was powerless in the cycle until I had children. I finally cut ties and my emotional health has improved 100%. Even just after 2 months.
        Survival instinct didn’t kick in until it was daughter’s survival.
        And she has 4 kids to protect. Shame on her .

    • Otaku fairy says:

      Agreed. I still have a tiny bit of sympathy for her because she didn’t choose to be born into, grow up in, and be brainwashed by that cult, but definitely have a problem with the fact that she knowingly married and had children with someone who molested children (including some of his siblings) and is still enabling him.

    • kate says:

      This. Yes, it’s cult-ish, but it’s not a scary cult for the people that leave. Worst case, your family disowns you, which is actually fairly common among Christian families that most people wouldn’t consider fundamentalists. Literally half the American atheists I’ve met aren’t or are barely on speaking terms with their family due to their decision to ‘reject God’. The fall-out she’d have to deal with if she left is something people deal with every day.

      Her siblings managed to break away, and while she’s been sheltered, she hasn’t been completely shut off from the outside world. People act like the people born into these families are locked inside compounds and don’t even know there’s another world out there, and that’s not the case at all.

      At a certain point she’s just as complicit as her husband. By staying she might as well just be saying ‘go ahead, molest our kids’. Mothers have fled from actual terrifying, murderous cults based on less risk to their children, but this woman can’t walk away because what, her and her husbands family would try and guilt her into staying. That’s a pathetic excuse. Anyone who cared about their children at all would leave.

  17. Jess says:

    I don’t believe this, surely they wouldnt allow him to have sex at a sex rehab? Or is it worded more like a “Christian” rehab?

    • Esmom says:

      I thought I’d read, here probably, that it really isn’t a rehab at all, more like a Christian boot camp with no therapeutic credentials.

    • Ankhel says:

      It’s a bible camp. They don’t have therapists or treatment programs, only unending prayer and religious lectures. Why anyone would expect that to change a man who’s been touted full of the same stuff all his life, I don’t know. I guess they’re hoping for a miracle?

  18. littlemissnaughty says:

    I just got back from lunch … let’s hope my salad stays down. 28-year-old mother of four …. the Duggars’ private plane … THEY HAVE A PRIVATE PLANE??? Motherf*cker. Girl, this baby is nothing but a sign that you had sex with your pedophile husband. That you have no common sense at all. No sense of self-worth. That you can’t read the instructions onj how to take the pill. That your parents and family in general have failed you miserable and continue to do so. It’s possibly also a sign that the world is coming to an end but that could just be me.

    • Embee says:

      Me, too. I literally gagged when I read that she believes it’s a sign God has forgiven him. Literally, from my stomach gagged.

    • Naya says:

      “Girl, this baby is nothing but a sign that you had sex with your pedophile husband.”

      ^This a thousand times over.

    • Pandy says:

      couldn’t have put it better except to add – grow a pair and get some common sense already.

      • qwerty says:

        Well not the best expression here, or anywhere really, considering what the one who already has a pair is doing (with it)

    • qwerty says:

      No no no. She’s a grown ass woman AND some of her family offered her help. This is on her.

  19. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    Ok, I have a friend on here (you know who you are) who gets really mad at my Duggar posts because I’m so hard on the grown women. I’ve been listening to her, I suppose, because I have two battling thoughts in my head. My first thought was, “Moron.” But you know, she has been brainwashed by her parents and other cult members all of her life. She was taught from birth to suppress any feelings of self-worth or any right to dignity or anger or any emotion or thought of her own. She has children of her own now, and I was hoping that would awaken some fierce protectiveness that would allow her see how wrong this whole culture is about everything. Especially wrong about God, who loves her and wants her to be the best she can be, not a doormat. But anyway, I end up being angry that she won’t stand up for herself, but feeling compassion for her also. Of course, the newest victim of this cult isn’t even born yet, and that is the most heartbreaking thing of all. But Anna, I thought you might get away.

    • littlemissnaughty says:

      Well, yes. To all of it. And then … my next question is always when do we say enough? When do we look at a grown-a** woman (or man) and expect them to take responsibility? We (and I mean every country in the world) put people in prison when they commit crimes regardless of their upbringing or whether they ever stood a chance. At some point, the excuses should end because otherwise we might as well just let everybody go nuts and let society fall to pieces. Granted, she’s not doing anything criminal (which cannot be said for her beloved husband) but morally, is it right to do that to her children? My personal line is crossed when someone’s behavior hurts others, in this case her children. I’m pretty sure people have offered help but she won’t take it. Maybe just not yet, who knows. But there HAS to be a line.

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        Yes, exactly my struggle. And you’re right, you have to have a line. Maybe we can have compassion without making excuses? I honestly don’t know, but I agree with everything you said.

      • Embee says:

        It’s hard to know but isn’t this sort of like the difference between helping and enabling? Helping someone is positive, because they are improving, and so the investment of energy has a net positive outcome. Enabling causes negative outcomes, because there is no improvement and the helper’s energy and resources are essentially wasted.

        For Anna’s circumstances, I would evaluate her decisions under the same rubric. Are the children better off? Is she? Are they, as a family, bringing love and help to the world? Or are they relying on their religion to perpetuate the secular tenets of wealth, misogyny, intolerance and oppression? I perceive the latter scenario.

        Religion, by its nature of “faith” and lack of proof is on pretty shaky ground anyway, but when it is used by people to further their self-interests as opposed to their personal growth…it’s an abomination.

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        Great comment, Embee, and love the comparison btwn helping and enabling and agree about religion.

      • SydneySnider says:

        Embee, yours is an excellent assessment of this situation. Lots of people here don’t know who these people are, but I’ve been following their story for a couple of years. On the one hand, I can’t believe Anna didn’t accept the help her brother, at least, offered, in order for her to distance herself from her mongrel husband. On the other hand, this latest development does not surprise me at all.

  20. LonnieTinks says:

    Listen, this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but I really think that it isn’t our place to judge Anna for this situation. I am married with kid/s and I understand why women don’t leave after an affair. Luckily, my husband hasn’t cheated on me, but if he did, I am not sure I could just up and leave, we have built a life together and a family and that is hard to give up. I think I would try to work on the marriage, and if that didn’t work, I would leave.
    I can see why Anna is trying to work on the marriage, I think we all know that Josh will cheat again, because it seems that he is a sexual predator, but she will only see that over time.

    • Pansy says:

      If my husband cheated on me (we have kids), I would absolutely try as well to work through it if he wanted to stay. But this wasn’t one affair. It was multiple, even going to the lengths of joining a website that’s goal is to begin sexual affairs for people! And that’s not even touching on his horrible past. That said, she’s completely brainwashed. As a Christian, someone who truly believes in God but has common sense, I absolutely HATE that they call themselves the same as me. My God does not want her treated like this. The men in her cult do.

    • littlemissnaughty says:

      Can we please not pretend that he simply stepped out on his wife though? This man has troubling issues and frankly, he’s a criminal. Affair really is not the word to use here.

    • Erinn says:

      There’s a difference between working through a marriage with a man who cheats on you, and having ANOTHER baby with a man who cheated and allegedly abused multiple women AND CHILDREN the second you have a chance.

      A normal marriage that has a cheating scandal is different than the mess this girl has kept her children in.

      • qwerty says:

        All the worse that these children were related to him and if even this didn’t stop him the first time….

    • HeySandy says:

      An affair with an adult woman who is consenting is one thing-certainly it is understandable not to want to break up a marriage over that. But knowing your husband molested children as young as five years old? And having children with him that are that age? Ugh. Sorry, I get that Anna may be brainwashed and I feel for her on that score, but she is also foolish and extremely weak. While we could blame those defects of character on her Cult upbringing, she is a grown ass adult. She could put on her big girl panties and leave, not stick around to be pawed by the same hands that violated children. I really only feel sorry for those kids.

    • Sandra says:

      I’m with you. As twisted as this sounds, they are in this crazy belief system together, and you just don’t up and leave that if you’re committed to your partner and family. A lot of people have gone off the rails and had dirty sex with other people while married, and then come back to earth. There is a context to all of his past acts before marriage – not that it makes it right or okay, I’m not saying that – and I know I sound naive, but I think he will turn it around. Maybe not, but the wake up call has been bigger than most have to face. And to be clear, I don’t agree with their belief system. I guess I’m just hopeful that people can change and redeem themselves (not in the eyes of God, but in their acts and to other people).

        But where is her sense of selfworth? How can she be with someone who has betrayed every vow to her, who has pretended to be a completely different person than he really is, who has hurt multiple other women and broken her heart? Most importantly, how can she trust this man, who has molested children with her own children? He has issues that go far beyond the abilities of this church camp to handle. Even if she can forgive him and wish him well, how can she stay married to him and have another child with him? How can she bring a baby into this mess? She doesn’t even know her husband. I feel sorry for her, but please don’t pretend that she is doing this out of some noble commitment to her marriage. She is doing it out of fear – of change, of defying her elders and cult, of standing up for herself because she doesn’t believe she’s worth fighting for. It’s not admirable. It’s sad and pathetic.

    • Otaku fairy says:

      I agree that the decision to forgive a spouse who cheated is a personal choice, and that choosing to forgive doesn’t automatically mean you don’t have self respect. But Anna is mostly being judged for enabling an abuser.

  21. JudyK says:

    They deserve each other. Sick of reading about this family.

    Feel sorry for their children…and tired of people who don’t practice birth control and multiply with the same mentality as rabbits. There’s no social conscience whatsoever, just future tax deductions.

  22. lowercaselois says:

    Babies should not be given the job of saving a marriage and a woman should not use her ovaries as a negotiation tool.

    • pinetree13 says:

      I don’t see this as an example of that at all. She only learned what sex even was two weeks before the marriage. I am very confident she has NO IDEA how the actual biology works and knows NOTHING about any form of pregnancy-prevention other than she’s probably heard “birth control is evil” but likely has no idea what birth control actually is, how you would actually obtain in and how you would actually use it. She’s very, very sheltered. Not too mention to research any of those ‘evil’ things would be ‘sinning.’

    • qwerty says:

      What else does she have? Not a brain, that’s for sure.

  23. Cupcake says:

    This is so, so sad.

  24. Tessa says:

    How many times a month do this family ovulate? 28?

  25. lizzie says:

    if she really is pregnant it was certainly planned. listen – it is not THAT easy to get pregnant. i know the Duggar’s say it is god’s will but unless these women screw EVERY SINGLE DAY, getting pregnant 5 times in 7 years relies on some modicum of planning. if she visited him around the holidays one of the visits would conveniently have to be the week before ovulation to get pregnant by having sex only 2 times in a month. unless of course god makes a quiverfull woman’s uterus into some type of magic sperm preservation system.

    also – he is NOT in rehab. he is staying at some BS church trying to pray away being a pedophile. i’m fairly certain the christian god they believe in frowns upon that type of behavior. sins of that degree are not automatically forgiven because you say sorry in any christian sect. you have to repent and repent again, the prove you’ve changed and repent again and live the change and then witness your change to others and help them get to a higher place themselves. this entire family should be working off a long list of prideful and greedy sins long before the child molestation revelation. but he hasn’t even done step one to deserve spiritual forgiveness and never will b/c he doesn’t think he did anything wrong and his entire community has made excuses for why his behavior is tolerable. see you in hell duggars!

    RANT OVER.

    • ND says:

      Good rant, though. 🙂

    • Decorative Item says:

      Cleansing. Thank you.

    • Giddy says:

      Thank you!!! Your rant helped me deal with my disgust.

    • qwerty says:

      Hadcore Christian crazies use the calendar method where they measure the temperature (you know where) and put their fingers up their fanny to check out what the mucus looks like and take notes. Every single day. When you do that, you can plan a pregnancy pretty easily. Also, the forum I read once for entert… ugh, sorry to broaden my horizons, was FULL of men AND women losing their sh-t cause they wanted to have sex but didn’t want any more kids, so they only did on days the woman was infertile and for some women, because their cycle was short or they got sick and it got messed up ar whatever, it meant like 2 or 3 days of sex every few weeks or something. Or there was this woman whose husband worked abroad and would come every 2 months or so and if she was having fertile days they wouldn’t have sex so they cuddled and then he would just go back abroad for another 2 months!! This stuff is insane. Actually, I might go check it out again.

  26. JustJen says:

    WHOA!!! They have a private plane??? While they’re shamelessly asking for handouts for “missions” they have a private F*****plane????

  27. Nancy says:

    No Anna, God doesn’t have anything to do with this. You visited him with the sole reason of getting knocked up. Makes sense, he’s one of the most hated men around, has no visible means of support and you’re living with his parents with your other four kids. She is truly a Stepford Wife and doesn’t have a clue. I have no pity for her anymore. Disgusting.

  28. ND says:

    God, these people are disgusting.

  29. Decorative Item says:

    Is their solution to EVERYTHING just to have more babies?

  30. The Eternal Side-Eye says:

    She is now completely and totally responsible for her part in her daughter’s being abused.

    Maybe it’ll be at the sick hands of her child molester husband, maybe they’ll be safe till they too come across their own cult-approved Josh Duggar.

    Either way I’m done with her, good luck with your life Anna.

  31. Ariel says:

    The grossest thing, for me, is how the entire family forgave him for incestuous molestation of girls as young as FIVE. And seem to not give it q second thought. They are much more upset by his infidelity.
    His oldest daughter is FIVE.

    Is this family and their religion (leader is also besieged by lawsuit re touching young girls) silently making it known that they don’t believe the molestation of young girls is really all that wrong? It seems like it. Gross. I pray for their sterilization.

  32. Dani2 says:

    *Insert Brenda “She don’t love herself” gif here*
    This is disappointing but not altogether surprising.

  33. Micki says:

    She had the chance to reshape her future. She blew it up. Her decision. I hope her faith will give her the strenght to endure what’s comming because I’ve given up hope she’ll challenge her doormat status.

  34. Murphy says:

    I doubt they have proof-I think they just assumed this would happen.
    I’m not so positive because it usually takes Anna longer to get pregnant.

  35. Crumpet says:

    She has lost any goodwill I had left for her.

  36. Ileana says:

    Poor girl, she was brainwashed by a cult since childhood. Basically, she is a human robot with no will of her own and self-esteem at this point.

  37. ashley says:

    Disappointing..

  38. My Two Cents says:

    They need to start thinking about how they plan on feeding and clothing all these kids now the easy tv money is gone. But, then again maybe not if they really own a plane. That leads me to how and why would they own a plane?

  39. Elizabeth says:

    If you’re a drug addict, you can never take drugs again, right? If you’re alcoholic, you can never drink alcohol again, right? So, shouldn’t someone with a sex addiction be made to never have sex again?

    • FingerBinger says:

      A sex addict not having sex isn’t the objective. Sex addicts engage in risky behavior. The objective is for them to stop engaging in that behavior.

  40. stinky says:

    I suggest watching ‘The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt’ series on Netflix 🙂
    It may lessen your frustrations with these loons.

  41. Donna Martin says:

    This was so depressing to read

  42. Jwoolman says:

    Oh, Anna. It doesn’t matter whether or not God forgives him. The issue isn’t forgiveness. The problem is that he has a dangerous pattern of behavior that is extremely difficult to change. You can’t change him. That bible camp he’s at won’t change him. He can’t just announce he’s cured and life goes on happily ever after. He needs far more intensive therapy and even then the chance of success is slim. You simply cannot leave him alone with your children. You can love him, but at a distance. It’s ok to love and forgive people but realize it’s unsafe to stay with them.

    • Betti says:

      He needs life long treatment. As you say its difficult to ‘cure’ someone like that, the risk of re-offending is very high even if their behaviour is monitored. He’s already proven that he will reoffend, its only a matter of time before he turns his attention to the children. No matter what Anna does or lets him to do her in the bedroom, it will never be enough for him, mostly because for him what gets him off is not the sort of thing you do with your wife.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if this pregnancy rumour is to stave off another Josh scandal. He’s the gift that keeps giving.

      I want the skeletons in Michelle and JimBobs closet to fling themselves out – now THOSE are the ones that I’m interested in. They BOTH give me closet case vibes.

    • hogtowngooner says:

      I hate this cult’s idea of “oh God forgives me so everyone shut up about all the horrible stuff I did.” Yet they’re the first to wag their finger at everyone else about being gay or trans or pro-choice. But as soon as they’ve stepped out of line? It’s all this “let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” They make me so stabby.

      I remember a line from Frasier when his grifty brother in law was saying how he “found God” and was so much better now after all his prior transgressions and Frasier quips “Ah, God. A credible partner who doesn’t take a cut!” Fit these monsters to a T

  43. buzz says:

    sickening. I feel sorry for this poor girl.

  44. buzz says:

    Hi cheating hubby who I haven’t seen in months. Let’s take our clothes off and do it. For Jesus. ICK.

  45. UmamiMommy says:

    If this is true, there goes my last shred of respect for her. This isn’t about her or Josh; this is about their children, and a child deserves not to be conceived in the midst of such an unstable mess. Sometimes being pro-life means abstaining (if birth control is so abhorrent to you) and focusing on what’s best for the children you already have.

  46. LAK says:

    URGH!!!!!

    No sympathy at all IF this is true. I guess we’ll know in a few months.

  47. holly hobby says:

    She just lost my sympathy. Really can she not think independently?

  48. word says:

    Is she f*cking stupid? Does she not care about the children she is bringing into this world knowing very well that their father is a piece of sh*t?!

  49. daisyfly says:

    What kind of sex offender treatment center ALLOWS for their patients to have sex? That is counter-intuitive and harmful to the progress and success of treatment.

    If nothing else proved that he’s not actually getting any help, this seals it.

    • Tourmaline says:

      Of course he is not getting any “help”. This is a “faith based” “program” with absolutely no science-based, professional type counseling WHATSOEVER.

      Of course this place would allow Josh to have “relations” with his wife as it is her G_d mandated duty to do so!

  50. kri says:

    My god. They just keep feeding one another’s insanity in this Flowers In The Attic “family”. It is horrifying and disgusting and pathetic. To me, they are just as bad as Uncle Terry and his gross partner. It breaks my heart that kids are going to be raised by these sick ba$tards. It’s happening all around us, and then people wonder why the world is so f^cked up. Well, here are some answers, people.

  51. hogtowngooner says:

    So if Anna getting pregnant by her pedo husband (while he’s at “sex rehab”) is God’s forgiveness, where’s God’s for any loving, stable couple who can’t have children of their own? You know, one where neither of them have molested anyone or cheated on their partner ever?

    This excuse for a family is disgusting.

  52. Sassy says:

    Sickening. The whole family. Ugh.

  53. Rockin Robin says:

    Wtf is wrong with her?! I can’t! I really CAN’T!

  54. Sparkle says:

    A naive dumba$$. No more news articles about them please. She can no longer play her “victim” card. There’s no hope for her. Sad.

  55. lucy says:

    IDIOTS.

  56. shannon says:

    Wow. I’m a Christian, very involved in my church, and I can’t stress how much I think they’re doing Christianity “wrong” imho. I think my own pastor, and he’s a good friend of mine, would pull this woman aside and tell her that she’s allowing herself to stay in an abusive and, by any normal Christian standards, sinful situation. I’m positive everyone I know there would encourage her to get her kids and get out, I know I would. This is just … abhorrent. *If* it’s true.

  57. isabelle says:

    yeah that will fix your perverted husband Anna. Anna is lost no hope for her escape. Its just a generation cult abuse over and over again and she isn’t breaking the cycle.

  58. Trashaddict says:

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! Stop with these people already. Just stop posting about them!
