Churchhoney October 3, 2015 Share October 3, 2015 (edited) To me too. I think it's a powder keg waiting to erupt. I think that they should just tell Josh to leave (without Anna and her children). They should make it clear to the press and public that he is estranged from the family. I honestly don't think that they can control this. Totally agree. ... I suppose they would never do this, since it would mean admitting that their "theology" and "family ministry" and Gothard's loudly proclaimed "basic life principles" and "journeys to the heart" are basically powerless in the face of real life. So I fear that their egos and stupidity won't allow them to do this. Horrifying. Edited October 3, 2015 by Churchhoney 6 Link to comment

Tabbygirl521 October 3, 2015 Share October 3, 2015 I think that this is their plan too. What scares me about it is, that if Josh doesn't have porn, porn stars, strip clubs as an outlet for his strange proclivities, I just hope he doesn't go after the kids in the family, like he did before when he had no other outlet. They will be locking all those little girls up with a caged animal. Ugh, I hope you are wrong. I feel like Anna will be yanked aside for periodic lectures and interrogations about how well she is satisfying his "needs." No privacy. No boundaries. I'm Josh Duggar! Gothardism worked for me! 3 Link to comment

Certainly, that is the way it SHOULD be, but that doesn't mean that that is the way it WILL be. IMO, the Duggars are, right now, very much on Anna's side, not Josh's -- at least that is what we've seen, and they don't appear to be PR geniuses of any stripe. I think that they know, too, that even among their fundie friends, it is Anna who has the sympathy, and Anna who would get the support even if she chose to leave Josh. It certainly wouldn't surprise me if they did buy the house for Anna. It would represent their grade-school level of damage control. To me, Josh has serious problems -- the stories of violent sex with prostitutes suggest that he is seriously conflicted about women and sex and has a very difficult time with impulse control. We've talked a lot on these forums about how the Duggars parenting prevents their children from developing coping skills and learning impulse control. Josh is Exhibit A, but I don't think he'll be the last. Unfortunately, the Duggars have invested themselves 100% into believing that the word of Jesus as interpreted by Gothard is the be-all and end-all of life. There is no way that they can process any of this in any other context. The "only thing" that they can do for Josh is to send him to Jesus jail and keep him under surveilance 24/7. 9 Link to comment

But it wouldn't be too far of a stretch for random women to come forward looking for a few dollars for their story. I do have a question though, and forgive me if this has been covered, but how much porn are we calling an addiction here? Did Josh watch 8 hours a day or 8 hours in his entire life? I could see even 8 minutes in his whole life being considered an addiction by his crowd. 3 Link to comment

But only Michelle was allowed to be acknowledged as sexual. So inappropriate and disgusting. Because Jim Bob has no sense of respect or decorum, among many other deficiencies.

And unless Josh was a regular I doubt they would remember what he looks like when the scandal did break. So I for one, am not putting any weight into those stories. Yeah, me neither. I think there's definitely embroidery going on if not flat-out making things up out of whole cloth. Among other things, while he may have thrown tantrums at them, I still call bullshit on that first woman saying he's the scariest man she ever saw. No way that tub of uber-lazy lard was that. Sorry. I also think that it's suspicious that both have been "porn stars" -- i.e., women looking for publicity -- rather than call girls or other kinds of sex workers. In their line of work there'd be a huge incentive to make things up -- because how many chances do they get to tell a tale that'll put them not only on the front page of tabs but in mainstream media as well? Look at the flurry of photo publicity the first woman got after she "came forward." She was definitely ready and waiting for her closeup. And of course Josh-trying-to-prove-my-manhood-Duggar would never deny the story of anybody who came forward -- true or false. So they know nobody's going to contradict them. Plus, as far as I can tell, people in the entertainment end of the sex trade are a less likely hookup. It's also suspicious to me that not one but two sex workers who aren't street prostitutes could apparently be easily talked into not using condoms. Insisting on condoms is pretty common these days among sex workers who aren't street prostitutes (who sometimes may court arrest by simply carrying condoms), and he ran into two who didn't seem to make it a priority at all? Also odd to me that a guy who always gets to have condom-free sex in his marriage made having condom-free sex with them such a priority. I can see that with guys with long histories of girlfriends insisting on condoms, but Josh has had the non-condom experience lots of times. So why would he push for that, especially since it would risk pregnancy and also passing on something to Anna that she might notice? Yeah, he might have, but it's just one more questionable statement to me. I still suspect the truth is fairly far from what we've been told. In Touch gave the first porn star that came forward a polygraph. She passed. Yeah, but people pass polygraphs all the time. This woman is more or less an actress, among other things. I expect she knows how to feign things. And I don't think we have any evidence for how rigorous a polygraph exam In Touch hands out, either. 3 Link to comment

Vaysh October 3, 2015 Share October 3, 2015 I don't really have a problem in believing the first woman (I'm not sure about the second). She passed a polygraph which is not fool proof but Josh admitted to cheating on Anna, not just signing up for it or looking at porn but actual cheating. And I find it far easier to believe that Josh bought sex from a porn star rather than him actually being able to pull a willing woman. He's a balding, pasty-faced tub of lard with an off-putting personality; I just don't see how any woman would be attracted enough to have a one-night stand with him for free. The way he supposedly acted with the first porn star actually makes her story more believable to me (though I think she may have embellished her own reaction to it just a tad) because it fits in with the whole patriarchal madonna/whore complex that I assume Josh is carrying thanks to Gothardism. It sounds like the kind of behaviour someone would exhibit whose sexual and social experience with women has been limited to his submissive virginal wife, his submissive defenceless sisters and porn. A patriarchal belief that women are second class citizens combined with a madonna/whore complex combined with watching pornography which, let's face it, more often than not is about degrading women or using them as objects, could very well lead to the belief that roughing up and degrading a real life sex worker is perfectly acceptable behaviour. The more I find out about the patriarchal Christianity movement the more I'm convinced that they don't see women as real people. There's some disconnect going on, kind of how slave owners through the ages have been able to de-humanise their slaves by projecting all their fears and prejudices onto them and making them into objects in their minds. 12 Link to comment

It's positively insane. Plus, the Ashley Madison thing all came on top of the other scandal and at the time they were frantically trying to get back on tv. So I wouldn't really be surprised by any level of overreaction. I don't think we'll ever know anything even close to the truth about how Josh has conducted his life, actually.

Wellfleet October 4, 2015 Share October 4, 2015 I agree that adult kids, especially those with families of their own, should be self-supporting. But this is the Duggars and their warped POV has infantilized their kids. The kids have grown up in isolation, with minimal contact with the regular world. The parents have strictly controlled them all of their lives, right down to virtually choosing their mates for them. Even Josh' 'rehab' is part of their creepy sect and he was undoubtedly sent there with JB and Michelle's approval. The only message he is getting there is that he is a sinner who needs to repent and the way to do that is to do what his godly parents want. Josh isn't there to be helped, he's there to be re-indoctrinated into the cult. The purchase of the house just proves what we've known all along: JB and Michelle think of their kids as possessions, like pets, to be trained and controlled. And the kids have bought into it and don't know any other way. It's sick and it's sad, but I think the fiasco of the scandal is probably dooming Josh and Anna and their kids to a lifetime under his parents' thumb. It's what Jesus wants, doncha know? And what about the oft-repeated yammering of "Leave and cleave?" They may talk about it, but they certainly don't seem to practice it. I honestly don't know if Boob understands what he wants. On one hand, they do everything Doodlebug outlined here. On the other, they are still minutely-involved with their children's lives, and not just the 18 and unders. That Boob & Me-chelle chose to speak up about Joshgate I happened speaks volumes, IMO. Can you imagine President Clinton's mother speaking to the press in the wake of the Lewinsky scandal? Or President Nixon's during Watergate? But Boob & Me-chelle are so far removed from the national mindset that they just do not get it. 6 Link to comment

MyPeopleAreNordic October 4, 2015 Share October 4, 2015 (edited) More details in the finances thread -- JB purchased the $325,000 house next door (seen in Jessa pool videos) for Josh and Anna. Josh is almost a 30 year old man. He doesn't need his dad buying him $325,000 houses, especially after he just had a job making the kind of money he did (actually, regardless, you just don't do that). He literally will never learn from his mistakes when his parents treat him like that. Gross.Exactly. My blood is boiling thinking about how JimBob and his ilk view of those of us who work for others (who don't own our own businesses), went to college, women who work outside of the home, & limit our number of children as to actually be able to provide for them on a non-reality show income as sinners and less than while he buys his uneducated, uncouth, and unsavory child-man of a son his own home (and I assume that $325k in Nowhere, Arkansas buys a heck of a house). The only thing that makes me feel better is knowing that this will be a prison for Josh and that JimBob & Michelle will reap what they sow here - even if it's just Josh's unending resentment. I just hope it doesn't negatively effect Anna, her kids, or any of the Duggars kids....but I find that unlikely. At best, the situation is sure to be tense. $325k could have sent Josh to private colleges/universities and law school, as he had dreamed. Heck, $325k could make a huge dent in tuition at UofA or any state college for several, if not many, of the Duggar kids. You can bet when one of the Duggar kids eventually writes a tell-all (assuming it's not Josh who does it first) that one of the major themes will be how the parents favored Joshie boy even when he messed up and screwed things up for the whole family again and again.

I can't imagine what has gone on behind closed doors. Now I find myself wondering if Anna's overly affectionate demeanor on some episodes was in response to things that may have happened the night before. Yikes! Holy macaroni - don't know what is fact or fiction from this article. Could she be living in Florida? Doesn't she nurse her babies? I said it before "cured Josh with Anna looking up adoringly at her". I hope when the pastor tried to put some the blame on her she was able to reject that notion. They must really believe Josh will be "cured" and be "normal". Oy. I can't imagine her leaving her kids in another state for anything other than a quick vacation or engagement. Her entire identity is caught up in being a wife and a mother. No way would she pass their care off to MEchelle like that. 1 Link to comment

Edit: The Waste Management Palace also works. WiMP. Edited October 4, 2015 by JoanArc 8 Link to comment
Marigold October 4, 2015 Share October 4, 2015 I do think that Josh had sex with other women. I was a fundamentalist for many years. To me, "unfaithful" the way he said it in his first statement indicated he had sex. Porn is also considered unfaithful behavior also but when you say "unfaithful" it implies sex. Of course, my dialect of English is from NYC. Maybe in an Arkansas Fundamentalist dialect, it's different. Don't know. But that is my understanding. Plus the satement about Satan taking over his heart. That's strong language for some nudie computer time. We have Josh's statement. We know he was on a cheating website. Two women have come forward. Seems like he unzipped... (yuck) 8 Link to comment
kokapetl October 4, 2015 Share October 4, 2015 I believe Josh had sex with the porn stars, but considering prostitution is illegal in all but a single Nevada county in America, they may have felt they had to embellish their stories in order to come across as victims. 2 Link to comment
Marigold October 4, 2015 Share October 4, 2015 And saying it was horrible and rough is more interesting for a story. I bet Joshua was a big yawn at best. 5 Link to comment
cmr2014 October 4, 2015 Share October 4, 2015 And saying it was horrible and rough is more interesting for a story. I bet Joshua was a big yawn at best. I believe the "violent" and "rough" parts as well as the abusive language. I think that Josh -- like a lot of fundie men -- is deeply conflicted about women and sex. I think he blames women for inciting desire in him, and I also think that he just doesn't really like women very much. I also wouldn't be surprised if his behavior was influenced by porn, either. He may have been emulating the behavior he saw on screen under the assumption that that is how "real men: behave. I'm sure that they embellished the story and I doubt that sex with Josh Duggar was even interesting enough to remember until it looked like they could get publicity/$$$ from remembering it. 6 Link to comment
kokapetl October 4, 2015 Share October 4, 2015 I don't think that information is correct. Josh and Anna bought their own house in Arkansas on January 20, 2015, while they were still living on the east coast. They purchased a home in foreclosure and paid $55,000 cash. The home has 2,985 sq. ft. and sits on a 2 acre lot. County records show that Josh and Anna have since sold that house to ALB Investments LLC. Link to comment
Vaysh October 4, 2015 Share October 4, 2015 That picture is just... unfortunate in so many ways. Link to comment
CofCinci October 4, 2015 Share October 4, 2015 I wonder if the Kellers and other folks just stopped working on that house the moment the Ashley Madison scandal hit the news? 1 Link to comment
