It is sickening. But this kind of response is very common and, I expect, absolutely the norm.

In my experience, people tend to wait until the offender dies. For decades, they don't say anything, even to the people involved, they don't do anything, they pretend that they don't see anything. And then, as soon as it doesn't actually matter any more, they tell you (very quietly) -- Wow, I felt so sorry for you all those years. And then they quickly walk away.

Seriously. This is how I learned that extreme cowardice is the natural condition of humankind.

I am so sorry that this was your childhood, CHURCHHONEY. And I am so glad that you were able to escape at least the physical world of your youth. Hugs.

Someone on Reddit just described Josh’s face as a glistening glazed ham. I am considering divorcing my husband and marrying that poster.

Well, for many of us, it's the difference between 'imperfect' and 'non-PC' and being a criminal.  Josh is a child molester and his parents actively intervened in his situation to avoid him being punis

Any social media pics of Anna? Do they first appear with a baby bump? They did a good job pr wise a while back by including their "sweet children". I expect they are waiting to announce a baby to deflect some hate comments when the do emerge.

Their children are sweet and so is Anna. We just don't want to see Smuggar.

This reminds me of some talk show I saw many, many years ago.  The onstage 'guests' were a married couple of Ku Klux Klan members and they appeared with their three small children, all dressed up in the Klan uniform.  While the adults talked about their view of life, their kids sat onstage right next to them.  The kids were all very young, they obviously didn't understand what was happening.  They smiled at the audience, waved, giggled, and were generally the cutest things possible.

When it came time for the audience to ask questions, they all were very careful about what they said.  Several people said outright that they couldn't say what they wanted to say because those sweet little kids were right there on the stage next to their parents.  The parents were smug in the knowledge that no one was really going to confront them because no one wanted to upset the kids.

Let's see.  Adults with an agenda hiding behind their kids so they don't have to answer the hard questions.  I'm sure there's a Bible verse to cover that, it just probably isn't properly understood by us heathens.

Um, no. In person Anna is 50 shades of I-will-cut-you. That keeping sweet personality falls pretty quickly.

I expect they pretty much all do, one way or another. I can't imagine putting on the keeping-sweet facade in a bad circumstance (and pretty much any situation in which keeping-sweet is ordered is bad, one way or another) without periodically lashing out viciously at others, continually tearing oneself up inside, or both. I specialized in both. It's not even conceivable to me that somebody could avoid this, unless they managed to go completely dead inside, which I guess is a real option for some people. Not for most, though, I expect.

Whaaaa? Do tell!

Their FRC hate bus came rolling through my backyard a few years back so I went to watch the circus. It was a super small crowd so I got to chat a little with Josh, Anna, and Jana. The twins and John David were there but didn't talk to anyone. Josh and I talked ACC basketball. Anna was snippy and rude. I also called that she was pregnant way before she announced she was expecting Marcus. I have pics but they're on my old iPhone. I keep meaning to look for an old generation charger to get stuff off of it but I always forget.

Also, before the massive scandals hit, I said that I felt like if Anna wasn't there, Josh would have hit on me. 

Oh, I forgot that Josiah was there too. His handshake is so strong it almost fractured my bones. Poor kid needed some ProActive stat. He was the most likeable.

@Sew Sumi do you remember me telling you this? (We go way back.)

I think they had gone to Mittens at that point.

Right. Marcus was born in June, so Frothy was out of it by the time she got knocked up. Remembering Smuggar on the stump, knowing what we know now, is even more disgusting than when we just criticized him for spouting the FRC talking points.

My take away from Anna was: Wow, what a bitch + she's taller than I expected.

I guess when the fairy tale doesn't work out, you quickly turn into a wicked stepsister. ... Or you were one from the beginning.

I expect most of these women are pretty bitchy. Continually craning your neck to squint-smile up at him whenever your arrogant idiot husband spouts more crap probably takes a toll even on a naturally pleasant disposition. And, really, how many people even start out with a naturally pleasant disposition?

Judging from the show only, I always thought Anna was a straight up bitch - condescending and arrogant. It doesn't surprise me in the least that she comes across as snippy and rude in person.

Same. I don't get all the "she's so sweet" talk about her...on the show she was always a bitch who could barely hide her disdain for anyone who wasn't white and fundie.

Exhibit A: The crossover episode with Say Yes to the Dress, when she--with a sneer on her face--pointed out a woman who was trying on an immodest wedding dress.

Exhibit B: The Ethiopian restaurant they all went to, where she looked absolutely disgusted at the dancing.

Exhibit C: The Black megachurch the family attended once, where she once again looked disgusted at the way people sang and danced in worship.

Exhibit D: Using Black Lives Matter as an anti-abortion slogan.

Anna is a heinous bitch and I don't have the tiniest bit of sympathy for her. Points for being honest about what she really thinks about people, I guess, but whatever. Her pain over Joshley doesn't move me at all. I'm glad that superior asshole got taken down a peg.

That's really not cool that Anna acts like that. Guess I'm not surprised. Nobody is ever who you think they are, though.

After all the time she spent in prison ministry, I'm surprised much would shock her, but I guess she only got to speak to white inmates who already enjoyed going to prison bible study?

Or the Kellers did all the talking and the prisoners did all the listening? I think a lot of ministries work like that. So the ministers can keep all their illusions intact about how the lower beings aren't really humans just like them.

Oh his FRC stump speech was all about traditional family values. Molesting your sisters and cheating on your wife with porn stars is totes traditional. I don't know how any of them show their faces in public.

I wonder if she was already aware of Josh's cheatin' heart and was all snippy with you (and/or any possible Other Woman) as a possible rival?? Like, when Jr high girls flip out because their boyfriends look at another girl.

Well, I had on pants and he saw my shoulders. We practically fornicated.

Did you have jeans on? Because if so, you're probably the whole reason he had to go to Jesus sexjail in the first place, hussy!

Nope they were a silky rayon blend that made my ass look great. I contaminated his weak manly man brain.

Almost as bad as mowing the lawn in a bikini.  

Do you think Josh would have divorced Anna if you'd been wearing Daisy Dukes?

It was hot enough for them. Please note Joshley's attire. He was a mess of flop sweat in the south's oppressive heat and humidity.

I see defrauding shoulders and women in shorts and slacks...Who else from the Fundieverse has joined them for the festivities of sweet fellowship? I see Cringer without her Babe appendage.  That must have been "super hard" for her to endure this, but I guess they dragged her away from her phone long enough to pose.

I think Josie might be the blonde near the man with the baseball cap. I can't see who is holding her. But, it does look like an older girl being held, and not a toddler or baby.

Hmmm looks like no one is holding her.  But that cannot be!  Could man in cap be holding her.  Nooo, Meeechelle says they do not do that.  Oh I hate this family, just let me count the ways

The top of the head behind the very blonde possibly-Josie could be Jana or JoyAnna - it looks blondish and straight. Also, Anna's face looks rather full - pregnant?  Although in that shopping photo posted the other day, her face looked thin. Maybe that wasn't a brand-new photo.  I think I see various Howler boys, particularly one next to Jessa.
