He probably felt to was falling behind his parents’ torrid breeding pace, so needed another woman to have 19+ children and thus not be a shame to his parents. ---

However, alas, this is the Pit, where sympathy is not allowed. So I’ll go at it from a different direction: Anna’s a sweet, attractive young lady who I know puts out and would let me go bareback, so if I were younger and single and ran into her in the grocer’s I’d sidle up to her and say hi. And if she took THAT bait, I might even engage in some _light conversation._ (I’m such a perv!) After that, who knows? Maybe I’d wait until she dumped her loser husband and ask her on _ **a date!** _ :eek: To a PG13 movie, even! (Even I feel light-headed thinking about what a cad I am!) Of course, after we married I’d have to kill her children because they weren’t sired by me. It’s the Law of the Jungle and older than anything Moses brought down from Mount Sinai. ---

I’ve tried to avoid these Duggar people as much as possible, so I have to ask…what’s with the alliterative naming conventions? Is that a fundamentalist Christian thing? Or just a Duggar thing? If you’re limited to a small family for some reason, do you get assigned names beginning with “X” or “Q”? ---

It’s just a dumbass Duggar thing. Lordy but those morons manage to come up with some of the worst fucking names I’ve ever seen. JoyAnna and Johannah. Jedidiah and Jebediah. Jinger. Anna is naming them M for Mamma Duggar. I hope she leaves him. There has to be some liberal group willing to attempt deprogramming that poor woman. ---

When you plan on having as many blessings as your uterus will allow, and you also plan on using the same first letter for their names, you have to be creative. This is why J’chelle and Boob have a Joyanna, Johanna and a Jinger. ---

A they were growing up, Jinger showed promise that she may break away from the cult, based on Jinger doing a lot of this…\>:rolleyes::rolleyes: But, due to the Duggar’s methodical soul-crushing, as well as many trips to “Journey To The Heart” and the “prayer closet”, that nasty spirit she once had, has finally been suffocated. ---

I know a couple with two little schnauzers named “salt” and “pepper”. I’m sure their reasoning is similar to the Duggars. ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > I know a couple with two little schnauzers named “salt” and “pepper”. I’m sure their reasoning is similar to the Duggars. It’s Salt that I feel sorry for. You sometimes meet an animal named Pepper that has no pair; people name their pet Pepper because it makes a good name. You never meet an animal named Salt that hasn’t been part of a salt/pepper pair at some point because no one names their pet Salt. Just like you never meet someone named Jinger unless their parents are on an insane J-themed naming spree and hit the wall surprisingly early. ---

I feel so sorry for his wife. Other women have left the Quiverful cult before, it is possible, but I’m sure she has a lot of pressure by the two families to forgive and forget. I was about to say I hope she has a friend that she can vent to at least, but I believe that they basically think it’s a sin to appear or be unhappy, so I don’t know if she can even do that. > [@elucidator](#): > > Hey, maybe he never scored? Doesn’t that count? I think in many ways that if he had scored in a normal affair, it would have been a lot better for him. If he had been traveling somewhere and had a one night stand, or had an affair with someone at his office, he could just say that it was a time of weakness, and also cast some blame on the woman tempting him into sin. But he was on Ashley Madison for over two years, paid for two different accounts, and paid over $1000, including an “affair guarantee”. This wasn’t being tempted into sin, this was going out and looking for it. Also, he was a grown adult for this whole time. Some (misguided) people tried to dismiss his molestation accusations, saying it wasn’t as big of a deal since he was a kid, and people do stupid things as a kid. He wasn’t a kid on Ashley Madison. I think for a lot of Duggar fans and other conservatives this might be the last straw. I think a lot of people will quietly withdraw their support. But I don’t think they’ll wise up, they’ll just find some new Quiverful family to hoist on a pedestal because of their good family values, ignoring the stupid patriarchal bullshit inherent in their beliefs. ---
