The Duggars: In the Media and TLC


Guest

As a reminder, the site's Politics Policy remains in effect.  Yes, Jim Bob is apparently running for office again. That does not make it an acceptable topic of conversation in here - unless for some mysterious reason, TLC brings the show back and it is discussed on there. Even then, it would be limited to how it was discussed on the show.

If you have any questions, please PM the mods, @SCARLETT45 and myself.

See, I am so with you. I don't wish bad on anybody, but this family thinks they are so much better than all of us, I just want them to go down.

There. I said it. They are not teflon, even if they think they are.

Other than my admitted love for Duggar schadenfreude, here’s the thing...it’s not too late for most of the 2.0 and 3.0 generations, except probably Josh and Anna. If this blows up now, before they all have a gajillion kids and no way to support them, most of them could change paths to something sustainable and less comprehensively fucked up.

Hey, call me a romantic...

If they're breaking the law they should be held accountable, but I don't wish for family members who aren't acting criminally to crash and burn because they're related to them.

And, I rather see the show die due to lack of interest, so they can't blame the evil media and fake news.

They will no matter what happens, though...persecution of the Christians and all. And the more horrific the charges in terms of sex-related crimes, the louder they’ll yell they’ve been framed.

If the whole ship goes down, then maybe we will get a tell-all book. Derrick probably.

If everyone has to learn survival strategies, that's ok, as millions of people in the country who don't have a tv show have had to do that already. Maybe they have the ability to learn something about birth control, too.

I kid about the birth control. They won't learn.

An article about Jim Boob and Smuggar avoiding each other supposedly. 

https://radaronline.com/exclusives/2019/11/josh-jim-bob-duggar-avoid-each-other-after-homeland-security-scandal/

Another blind item from Crazy Days and Nights. 

In addition to all of the other federal crimes this sprawling reality family is facing, some of which are horrific, are all of the money laundering/embezzling/failure to report on taxes charges at least four of the family face. They took all sorts of payments under the table or didn't report them and spent them on strippers and escorts, not just for sex, but also paying for rent and other expenses. It is unknown if they were using them solely for themselves or were also hiring them out for added income. The latter seems likely considering the agencies doing a great deal of the investigations and what they do. The patriarch of the family is involved and several other men in the family, including one who has been in trouble before

JB and Josh are two of them.

If JD is involved, I think it's more failure to report taxes and other financial issues, including any potential Medic Corps-related issues, rather than spending money on strippers and escorts. Not only do I feel like JD is pretty devoted to Abbie, but he was also pretty disgusted at Josh's behavior when he did it.

I'm not sure Joe is involved, but I have a funny feeling Josiah is.

Wouldn't be surprised if Jedi is involved. Not sure about Jer.

Phrasing! 😂 (Sorry, I have a 13-year-old boy's sense of humor and couldn't resist.)

But yes I agree with the sentiment. 🙂

Multiple strippers and escorts hired by multiple men in the same family?  Yeah, that lets the Duggars right out... I know protests like these are often the equivalent of shouting into the wind, but no way is this accepted underground (or even networked) operating procedure for multiple Duggar men including the patriarch.  These people are too prudish, sheltered and trapped.

What other family could it be, including a patriarch and a male figure who has previously gotten into trouble? Roloffs? Browns? Bateses, lol?

There’s the Putmans and the federal gun charges.  There’s all the assorted other reality families, the people from Alaska, the gold miners, etc etc.

That blind item has to be the Duggars because it was already confirmed that Homeland Security was there, right? 

My guess is fraud and money shenanigans. Josh brings the sex crimes. 

Hope Anna doesn't go down like Joe Giudice dragged down Teresa. Teresa is a bitch but I don't think she knew much about her husband's money scams.

Does JD work/volunteer out of Fayetteville? A cop was recently shot right outside of the police station.

Yeah, I heard about it yesterday when Jed! posted about it. Sad and probably very unusual for the area.

Yeah that honestly freaked me the fuck out. That kind of stuff just does not happen in Fayetteville. 

The officer who was murdered was shot while sitting in his police cruiser in the police station's parking lot, waiting for his partner to start their shift. The guy who shot him was pursued by other police officers into an alley and was shot and killed. So far, they're saying the cop who was killed was not specifically targeted. I guess the guy just wanted to kill a cop and killed the first one he could find. 😞 The suspect had a police record but nothing that suggested this sort of violence, from what I could gather.  

That being said, I doubt JD has anything to do with Fayetteville PD. Springdale would be closer to Tontitown. And constables are not really officially attached to police stations--they operate independently in their precincts. If he does ride-alongs or whatever, that's not really his job.

Well, he's not a cop. But, ssshhhh, don't tell him.

That is horrible and senseless.

I was searching out the Duggar books on a used book site.  I think the Devil may have gotten in. On the "You May Also Like" section it listed a Dave Ramsey book as well as Debi Pearls'  Also included was the Harry Potter series.  Wonder what the Duggars would think about that? 

That could be one of those stupid pop up questions they ask : Who is Harry Potter?  Or better yet, ask the Duggar kids if they had read the books or seen the movies.  I know they would play dumb by saying they never heard of him or just say they weren't allowed and then Ben or Jeremy would have to rescue them.

Many of us on here are over 50 years old. Do you think the Duggars have any idea that folks that were born in an era when many households were run by men with stay at home moms, think the Duggars are backwards?

Like, do they think they're fighting the fight against the younger 'modern' generation?

 Yes, apparently this was today, and apparently comes from a reputable source. What exactly was going on is anyone’s guess. I think I’ll pick up some extra popcorn the next time I go shopping, just to be prepared

It’s possible the sheriff’s vehicle parked there is just a speed trap and it’s a coincidence.

If something involving law enforcement was going down at the house, I would think they’d have a lot more than one car there.

That's a fair point.

I want this to be popcorn-worthy more than anything but doesn’t JB own and keep a cop car on the property for security purposes? I thought I read that somewhere 

Would that even be legal to do that and keep any of the cop markings on it? Even if JD has his marked as a constable, the vehicle markings for an Arkansas constable are clearly for a constable.
