Well, she's definately doped up on some type of drug. I don't believe she's simply 'high' on the love of God lol For some reason, I could see MEchelle selling Boob out if the circumstances were right, like say if JB was potentially going down for a lengthy jail sentence or something. She could claim 'he drugged me', 'he beat me', 'he threatened to kill me', etc...I wouldn't trust MEchelle farther than I can throw her.

A poster in the radar comments section hit on a possible Benessa master plan; get a whole bunch of older foster kids - each comes w/govt $ and they can be groomed to raise the younger kids ala TTH. Jessa can sit back, collect the $ and have others raise her 20 kids. MEchelle would be sooo proud!

I know we've discussed Duggar Aviation a lot but seriously, what's the deal w/John David? At 25 he's not married (normal in our culture but M & JB must be pushing), he doesn't live at the TTH, he doesn't have an accountabilty partner (even JB has one of those) & he conviently has to work whenever there are big 'family' announcements, meetings, etc... I'm wondering if, unlike Puddin' Boy, maybe JD realized he's not cut out for marriage, or at least gothard marriage w/the requisite dozen kids? If so, I really hope he doesn't cave/conform & potentially wreck a whole lot of lives (Puddin' I'm looking right at you). Thoughts?

IMHO Josh is a creepy sick dude. The InTouch stripper/porn actress claimed he brought a fucked up screen capture pic from one of her most extreme hard core films to sign. The pic was of her with her makeup all smeared and running down her face with her crying. She was like, 'Seriously? THIS is what you want me to sign?' Just sayin, if a porn actress who had probably seen & done everything thinks you're fucked in the head, you're fucked in the head.

I admit, I too was skeptical at 1st, but then I read the full InTouch article (waiting on line in BJ's). Talk about 'taking one for the team'! It was about as disgusting as you might image with with details galore. I'm inclined to believe this porn actress/stripper/hooker as she was very specific about times, places, payment, etc... In addition, she stated that there many more shoes waiting to drop which would explain Josh's hasty retreat to 'rehab'. Better to be away seeking healing & spiritual counsel when more women come forward.

If internet sites like People & US are to be believed, the scandal has actually caused M & JB to double down on their religion. Rather than blame themselves, M & JB will likely use Josh as proof of just how evil outside influences like the internet really are. IMHO, its over for the howlers & lost girls. Jana, Jinger, et al it was nice knowing you.

Yup....this. I can see it now, Josh falling to his knees & crying bc God's infinite mercy has saved him!! Coming soon to a town near you...snort

We wondered how the leghumpers could possibly defend/support Josh now. Well, wonder no more - 'Its obvious to anyone that poor Josh has been framed. A christian like Josh would NEVER do something like that.' Yup....can't make this shit up. The icing on the cake would be if Anna actually buys the crapload that its a conspiracy to take down poor Josh.

Absolutely agree with your point, however, some people would also agree that by its very nature sibling molestation is just plain wrong. No degree of it makes it acceptable IMHO

As a former anorexic/exercise bulimic, I can add that many times eating disorders are an attempt at control. Control of something, anything in your chaotic world. If Jinger is suffering from an eating disorder (note IF), it may be because her sisters, one by one are leaving, the show's been canceled, and her mother & father are essentially running a jail with no chance for parole unless you get married & start popping out babies. Even then, you are ultimately under JB's arrogant obnoxious thumb. Run Jinger, run....its not a sin to live your life and chase your dreams! RUN

The Duggars clearly acknowledged that what Josh did was wrong. What people are in such an uproar about is that the Duggars also claim "it's no big deal" and "it happens in LOTS of families". Apparently there are stages or degrees of wrong in their world.

On Gypsy Grapevine Mellie claimed that Skott (Scott) was her only LEGAL marriage. So what were the prior 3 marriages? Lets pretend to be married until its no longer convient then f' it & go our separate ways? Let's get married but not send in the paperwork??

So Laura & John have been together 15 yrs & Angelina is 14. That means she got pregnant very early in the relationship. Would love to know the details on that; even John's other daughter said it was super fast. Laura comes off as being so controlling & manipulative, I wouldn't put it past her to 'catch' a guy by getting knocked up. I think John is her 3rd baby daddy already. Maybe she hasn't moved out yet bc she hasn't found another sucker...ooops, I mean guy. She definately uses/manipulates Angelina to keep her hold on John. IMHO Laura is a parasite, YMMV

See ya...don't let the door hit you on the way out!!

I wouldn't be surprised if JB couldn't find a decent attorney because he was cheap & didn't want to pay the going rate. Or maybe he tried to tell the attorney what to do bc, afterall, JB knows everything! There are attorneys out there who will defend cannabilistic murders, but not one to defend a 14-16 boy molester. Hmmm.

Or maybe the 'incidents' were not really a big deal in their eyes?! Afterall, it was only a few times..... to girls, who probably tempted Josh anyway.... & it happens in families within the Gothard circles ALL the time (pls know I'm being sarcastic). To this day Mama June still doesn't think what she did was so horrible (bringing the man who raped her own daughter back into her home & life) & I'm betting the Duggars really don't get just how gross/disturbing Josh's actions & their responses were.

Pls forgive me if this has already been discussed but I was just at Walgreens & saw the June 8th issue of In Touch, "Duggar's House of Horrors". OUCH!

I realize this may be a little OT, but driving home tonight (yes, a female driving alone!) AC/DC's 'Highway To Hell' came on the radio & I immediately thought of the Duggars. Boob & MEchelle's heads would just explode listening to ol' Bon extoll the joys of fulfilling desires in a unrightous manner..."living easy, living free"...... :-P

Actually, I distinctly remember JB stating in one of the early TTH building episodes that he purchased the land with the hope that each child would eventually build a house there. It was part of the 'master plan'. JB must be so happy his Joshie is coming home!

Blessing isn't how I would necessarily describe Jill's family but ymmv lol

The hiring of a bodyguard makes me wonder if there have been death threats against Smugger? I know in jail, sexual predators, esp child molestors are low on the food chain. I could see some crazy person who either had a loved one abused by a predator long ago (payback) or who was abused themselves going after Josh in a misguided attempt of justice.

Agreed, as an HR person I can tell you that HR people have a way of communicating w/each other w/o actually saying things. Also, some will 'tip' you off as a 'friend'/professional curtesy.

It is very quiet, too quiet.Say, you don't suppose they actually DID drink the kool-aide and are on the way back to the mother ship?? Poor taste I know, but I couldn't resist. Get the rod.

The difference, in my opinion, is that Phil from Duck Dynasty has never attemped to hide or deceive people regarding his beliefs. He has always been straightup forthcoming regarding beliefs as well as his checkered past. BIG difference from the Duggar hypocracy.

Now Brennan is fluent in Farsi? Not just knows some, but fluent? Really??
