Churchhoney August 31, 2015 Share August 31, 2015 That feedback was a tech glitch that we also got live. Just FF it a bit to get over that part. That said, that video is the Curington guy who was the "face" of RU (letting the corrupt Duggar friend operate in the shadows) until his untimely death in 2010 at age 45. Shoot me now. I already know far too much about this racket, and we've only known about its existence since Wednesday or Thursday. Yikes. Okay, that's one clear positive point for the Duggars. The Duggar obsession drives fast and encyclopedic learning about the nutso branch of the Christian Right. 3 Link to comment

cheatincheetos August 31, 2015 Share August 31, 2015 It continues to baffle me they sent Josh to a place full of women. For fucks sake. but they're locked in an inaccessible place. Maybe that's like a binder full of women. The wildly gesticulating red haired sweating guy who kept the camera man on his toes? I can see how he had a heart attack, he literally screamed his whole segment and he figuratively screamed hypertension. If that guy backed me into a corner giving me the hard-sell for a timeshare, I think I might get a heart attack. 8 Link to comment
Defrauder August 31, 2015 Share August 31, 2015 I'm surprised that the wimmin are given an extra half hour of sleep. I figured they'd be up early fixing breakfast for the menfolk. Maybe they allow the women they claim to treat with 'post depression rape' to sleep an extra half hour before they have to start their free labor for them. Labor camp to treat women with post rape depression, cures it every time. 3 Link to comment
questionfear August 31, 2015 Share August 31, 2015 RU will always be Rutgers University to me. Every time I see it on the board I'm like, "Why are we talking about Rutgers? Oh right, that's the name of the non-recovery program." I grew up in Edison and keep having the same issue when I read that! On the subject of the fauxtherapy, I wonder if Josh is under lock and key and not allowed to blow. He might want to, but if the snake oil therapists are smart they'll force him to stay (at least two months, until everyone loses interest) because if he blows immediately it'll look awful for them. 1 Link to comment

The Duggars need a new publication to act as their mouth piece, but since they refuse - even through all the scandals - to employ to use of an actual PR agency there is little room for another magazine to develop a new relationship with the Duggars. We won't see an Anna piece until JB is able to monetize the story.

WescottF1 August 31, 2015 Share August 31, 2015 I bet Josh loves being out of the house and getting a good night's sleep away from all those kids and the newborn. Plus, there is a Chik Fil A only 1.7 miles down the road (approx. 5 min -- I looked it up), so you know he's kewl with it. The guy has a long life in front of him, what could they possibly do to him at RU that would make a bit of difference in his psyche? He got caught, but that doesn't mean he has self-motivation to change his ways. Maybe Anna will decide she's okay with an open marriage!!! Actually, the RU men's home is about as far across town from the Chik-Fil-A as you can get. it's out on the northwest end of town where the women's home is the one on the southeast side. There's not much near the men's home except a whole lot of bad neighborhoods. 1 Link to comment

I know, but IMO having Josh in a treatment program where women are involved is too great a temptation for him, whether they live separately or not. Thinking about this, I wonder if having women around, at least under certain group circumstances like the live stream rantathons, is perhaps a positive. He needs women, and his interactions with them, to be as normalized as possible. NOT that I think there can truly be any co-ed activity that is within spitting distance of normal at Camp Scamafundie, but I think a big part of Josh's trouble is rooted in the mindset that frames all male/female interaction as dangerously sexual. The patriarchal system the Duggars espouse is the ultimate objectification of women, reducing them to nothing but their sexual utility for the benefit of--or temptation of--men. The idea that women are simply the co-equal other half of the human race is so foreign to Josh, that it might as well be the quadratic equation. (Ha...I was going to say something like 'string theory' or 'quantum mechanics,' but a common term from high school algebra is plenty complex when talking about Smugs.) Anyway, even though this nutty program won't do jack shit to get his head straight for the long haul, maybe being around women in a controlled environment would be at least a little beneficial.

She's a private citizen going through an awful -- but not uncommon -- period of her life, while raising four tiny kids. No one should be asking her to talk "on the record." She shouldn't be talking "on the record." The public has no legitimate interest in knowing what she's thinking or feeling. Encouraging Duggars to talk for money is just further confusing this already nutso family in their ideas about how money is actually earned. Plus, she's a hella confused person whose blathering on this painful topic would be instructive to no one and probably not even interesting to those who just want to gawk.

Plus, she's a hella confused person whose blathering on this painful topic would be instructive to no one and probably not even interesting to those who just want to gawk. I am going to sort of have to disagree here. Anna Duggar is not a private person; she is a very public one. She participated in a show where she earned money off publicly displaying herself and her children. She went on the show and discussed things like how to have a good marriage and how to be a good mother (btw I think she is a very good mother). I feel very sorry for her, but you cannot have it both ways in this life (though the Duggars seem to think so). Anna was a willing adult participant in a show that was all about showing the rest of the world their lifestyle and with it was the implicit lecture on how that lifestyle was morally superior to our own. Anna does need to answer some tough questions. No, not right at this moment, but she is part of an entity which spreads the lie that if women are modest and sexual available that their husbands won't cheat. Essentially the message of their religion is that the reason the rest of us are such "cheating bastards" is because wives are not doing their Godly duty to their husbands. Oh yes, Anna ought to be thoroughly grilled over all this. She cannot have it both ways; she is not entitled to play the "perfect wife", which in their religion translates to faithful husband and then not have to answer some real questions about it. 12 Link to comment

Churchhoney August 31, 2015 Share August 31, 2015 (edited) Yeah, I take your point, and I even agree with it in a way. I'm among those who've never watched the Duggars, just read everything I can about them because, for personal reasons, they horrify me. Despite my fascination, though, I'm so opposed to reality tv, especially when it involves children, that I just refuse to consider anyone who's been on reality tv as a public person. I think that just encourages them to think the same of themselves and encourages more people to try to get on reality tv and encourages the networks to keep on pushing it as their cheap-ass alternative to something better and smarter! Thus -- even though I agree with you that Anna put herself out there as a kind of role model and advice giver and probably should be held accountable for that in some way, I just don't want her to say any more. I don't think any interview with her actually would or could hold her accountable, for one thing. When people don't want to answer interview questions, they just evade them until the interviewer gives up. That's what she'd do, I'm sure, and it wouldn't be instructive to anybody. And it wouldn't even make her truly consider what she's been involved in. It'd just make her feel like a martyr -- but a martyr who can be paid for blathering to the media. I wouldn't like that as an outcome! Edited August 31, 2015 by Churchhoney 4 Link to comment
LilyoftheValley August 31, 2015 Share August 31, 2015 To me it is not really about accountability but more about the general public seeing her flounder and stumble over her explanations. The show heavily promoted the notion that this lifestyle was very romantic and quaint. We need to see the Anna Duggar Sweats interview as a counter to goofy lies of the show. Their religion takes a golden age that never existed and abuses women and children. People need to see the reality of all this nonsense. Anna represents the reality much more than Erin Bates and her suitor showing up on a horse-drawn carriage to propose under a gazebo. 11 Link to comment
