Let’s all hold our breaths awaiting the GOP response to this one. Will Huckabee continue to stand with him? Or will this drive them away? Cause you know… being a sexual predator wasn’t enough before.
My first reaction is mean delight, then disappointment. This means nothing. It’s just an opportunity for him to be “saved”, loudly and publicly, followed by even more highly paid bullshit Family Values speaking opportunities.
These people are shit bags who believe that evil is something you are, not something you do. Because Josh believes in Jeezus, he’s done nothing that can’t be spun into a positive.
Yeah, this. As long as you accept Jesus as your personal savior, no sin is too great to be forgiven. If you’re heterosexual and preferably male. A slut is most likely a slut forever whatever the good lord may think.
I like that he paid extra for a guaranteed affair.
So, he gets the ones who checked the box “Will fuck absolutely anybody, because I have no standards whatsoever!”
Good.
And how do you know such a box exists?
First they take away his primary source for sex by praying away the incest, then his wife gets to be 6, 6 and a half months pregnant and that’s 5 months out of a year the reverse cowgirl gets difficult. A guy’s gotta do something!
Yes. But.
He played the “all have sinned and fallen short card” already, and very recently. The unspoken contract in those situations is that you keep your house clean afterwards. When the faithful realize he was mired in more sexual sin the entire time he was protesting that he had grown and prayed and sought forgiveness, he’ll start losing them.
Not all of them. Maybe not many. But feet of clay can get too heavy for even the Ardent to ignore. Unless he goes into the ministry, I suppose.
His poor wife. I doubt she’ll leave him. She’s got four young kids, she’s been raised to believe that divorce is evil and that Josh can simply “pray” it away. She is trapped and she deserves a lot better.
I don’t know anything about her, but I presume she went into this marriage and this family voluntarily. Perhaps her eyes were dazzled by the celebrity, and/or she had already absorbed those born-again values, but I don’t have much sympathy for the self-deluded.
My God. That’s the sixth worst thing he’s ever done.
I wonder how this will affect thechild-abuse documentary set to air Aug 30 where, with the Duggar’s input supposedly, focuses on child abuse and recovery/treatment(s) thereof.
From the link : “We look forward to working with TLC on this upcoming special documentary and hope that it is an encouragement to many," said the Duggar family in a statement when the program first was announced.”
Yeah - good luck, Duggars. Maybe you can truly and realistically show what NOT to do with those such as Josh. Doubtful, I am.
The “self-deluded?” If you did know anything about her, you would know that she was raised in the same patriarchal environment where the man is the head of the house and women are taught to be subservient and to stay at home having as many babies as possible. She married him when she was just 20 years old with zero life experience and no friends outside her family and church. Josh had to get permission from her father to begin “courting” her and they couldn’t even be alone without a chaperone before they married.
So tell me again how she deluded herself?
Unfortunately, she’ll probably be blamed for this. She couldn’t satisfy his needs. It’s not poor Joshie’s fault.
His lists of “wants” is hysterical: Tall girls, short girls, long hair, short hair, professional person, casual person. Wasn’t there a check box that simply said “has vagina”? :rolleyes:
Where is my girl Faithfool? She’s gonna love this!
Hey, maybe he never scored? Doesn’t that count?
I don’t know! None of us here know! Especially not Vinny or BG, there’s no way they know! Besides, I think Duggar would want assurance that it was original factory installation. I mean, the man is a Christian!
My schadenfreude was tempered a bit thinking of the poor wife. The internet tells me her youngest is only a month old. I feel more sorry for the girls than the boys in that family. They’re raised to believe their only destiny is to be wife and mother, and they’re married off and popping out kids so early that’s there’s little chance they’ll discover they have so many more options. Anna seems like a sweet, somewhat simple girl and she’ll be paying more of a price for this than her husband will.
Well, maybe their mom will wise up after this…
I am shocked, shocked I tell you by this revelation.
This. And no chance mom will wise up. Just wait, it’ll be all, “It’s Anna’s fault.” But maybe Anna will see through the cognitive dissonance and get out.
