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

We need a sad face along with the heart.

So she barely posts anything on instagram for years, and then is magically posting away this week and none of the pictures/captions/hashtags include Joshua? Mkay. 

Maybe she's posting in hopes someone will notice Josh isn't there? Trying to leak it herself. 

Or she’s going to appear on Counting On, and was told to get her children’s faces out there.

The kids look cute. They look clean and well fed. That is a decent meal in front of them whether or not they eat it. They don’t look abused or starved. Or scared. Sadly they have a creep as a father and a mother who models adoring behavior of said creepy father (at least as far as we know) but seems like Anna is putting some effort into being a good mother. Time will tell how that all works out.

That is what I’m thinking @ginger90. Volderjosh is unable or unwilling to support his ever growing family. The solution is to make Anna bring in a paycheck. And care for, homeschool, and nurture five kids. But wait there’s more! She is also responsible to be joyfully available to her scum of a husband, and continue to be  Jesus’ Army Pez dispenser.

Wait, isn't  Reformers Anonymous/Unanimous (whatever)  a place for addicts of various types?  What in the world is an 8 year old doing there?

Do I even want to know the answer?

Shit gossip like that blind item is wrong. If Josh was seen even talking to a teenager from church this kind of talk could be harmful to some innocent young girl. I'd like to think Fundies don't read tabloid gossip but I bet they do. Who ever writes those made up stories needs to stop.

They 100% read gossip and messageboards, or at least have it relayed to them. It is why a lot of places won't let people speculate on a fundie child's sexuality until there's a (wedding) ring on it. I was initially shocked that Jinger was married off to Jeremy. I always thought Kim Jong Boob would have made sure to marry her off to someone extremely fundamentalist since the whole Free Jinger meme.

Those Valentine's Day pictures of the kids are cute, but yeah, I'm starting to think Josh is back in Jesus Jail as well. It's weird that Anna has been inactive on social media for so long, and now we're getting tons of pictures of the kids around the same time Josh is conspicuously missing.

All very true.  However, I get angry when I see pictures of Mason - the baby DumbAnna decided to have way too soon after her husband was publicly shown to be a liar, a pervert, and a cheat.  I don't care what kind of pictures she posts trying to show how great life is for those kids. Their father is a creep and at best their mother is an idiot.

There will be an M6 after Joshley comes back from Jesus Jail. You can count on it.

Anna isn't going to stop/let go until she can no longer give birth. She views herself as having no other purpose in life. Well other than making signs sometimes.

Just noticed a weird pole or something behind him too. Now I'm all kinds of confused.

During Joshley's first stint in Jesus Jail, Anna was probably counseled to act more hookerish, since that's what Joshley was after....they most likely had that pole installed about then.

Thank you.  

Here is my guess:  I think there is at least some truth to the blind item this week.  My unpopular opinion is it's 90% true.  I know a lot of people disagree with me so I'll leave it at that.

I guess I missed the memo.  Why specifically is Josh in Jesus Jail this time?

I know it would never happen, but I would enjoy it if Anna downloaded gay porn onto Josh's computer.   That would probably get him a very long and extended stay at Jesus jail and she could be free of the jerk for quite a while.  I guess Boob and J'chelle are hoping 3rd time is a charm with Jesus jail, sigh.

Also notice the winter coats hanging in the background of the Valentine's Day breakfast photo...Anna's long white coat, M1's grey coat, and assorted other kid sized coats. No men's coat. Sure, maybe he's just at "work" already...but based on his work ethic that would put breakfast without him at what 2pm? Also no way would she make a healthy breakfast like that for him...they did an episode on how she tried including healthy food but he still preferred the processes crap.

We all do our own version of blind items on here based on information and societal norms and sometimes we're right and sometimes we're not. But this site is a discussion and most are careful to qualify statements with probably, likely, maybe, etc. And most don't bring someone else into it like a 15 year old church goer.

Personally I'm in the 90% not true camp. And I hope for the sake of the M & Ms Josh has stepped up and put the needs of his family first.

I personally don't think Josh is a pedophile. My opinion is that if he were, he would not have sought out consenting adult women when he himself was an adult. I think he 'went for' his young sisters because they were the only ones around and accessible to him. Disgusting none the less, but that's my opinion about this guy. He likes the 'experienced ones', not the children.

CDAN has a disclaimer on their site that blinds are for entertainment purposes only and some may be fabricated. However, several have turned out to be true. It’s possible this one is although I have no idea what their track record is on Duggar stuff. 

Very well stated, @JocelynCavanaugh

I have followed his site for over 10 years and the sheer percentage of the times he is right speaks for itself.  Is he 100%?  No.  But something about this one combined with the plane flight to RU and the sudden social media posts by Anna leads me to think there is some truth to it. 

Do I think it was a full on affair with the 15 year old?  No.  But I wouldn’t be surprised if he slept with a teenager from the church.

I don't think sleeping with a 15-year-old (if it's actually true) would make Josh a pedophile; a statutory rapist, sure, but "pedophile" is generally used for people attracted to prepubescent children, and I doubt a 15-year-old girl is still prepubescent.

I'm the one who posted the item and I'm not sure I believe it myself.  I hope if he was dicking around (and I suspect given half a chance Josh would follow his dick wherever it led him) it was with an adult.

I also think that if he is in Jesus Jail and he doesn't take a day to go get himself a vasectomy, he's a complete moron.  Otherwise, he's just going to have more and more kids that he doesn't seem to want, since Anna is baby-crazy.

Sleeping with a 15 year old wouldn't make Josh a pedophile; it would make hime a creepy, opportunistic predator which I have no problem believing. I have no idea if it is true or not but it is actually more believable to me that he would be able to convince a teenager to sleep with him than a grown woman because sane adults would take one look at him and his history and nope the hell out of there. Teenagers are far easier to manipulate and impress.

Josh Duggar was a minor celebrity for years, belongs to a prominent family in their circles and, based on how the Duggars have handled all thing Josh and how they love keeping kids ignorant, I don't think teenagers in that subculture knows all that much about the scandals or understand what they implicate about Josh. I could see a teenage girl being impressed by Josh's fame, and having a very dim idea about what he actually did (he's just being being persecuted by those ebil liberals, really), combined with a complete lack of knowledge about sex or consent. I've read enough about these fundies (and heard it from Jill's own mouth) to realise that sexual abuse appears to be fairly rampant. Again, I have no idea if this actually happened or not, but I have no problem believing it could happen.

Considering how sheltered and restricted girls in this culture are, the only part I have a hard time believing is that it was some girl he met at a home church. 

If there is truth to this, i think it would be someone he may have met in the community outside of the church. I just don't see how anything like that could happen otherwise? What parents would knowingly let their kid go off with him ??

According to their courting and other rules... no female is supposed to be left alone with a male.  So just how was this 15 year old anywhere with Josh alone?   Did we ever once see a Duggar female left alone in a room with any male including the camera crew?  Jill couldn’t even be in a room alone to talk to Derek on her laptop. Kendra’s dad is the preacher of that church. His daughters follow those same Duggar courting rules.  So would the church members.

HA! I posted the text what two or three days ago on the Jessa thread. 

Still doesn't make it any less reliable. It could be any stupid Duggar fanfic. There's tons of it out there. 

Wait, that was the same redditer, but the parts I read didn't sound like this person. 

There is really nothing earth-shattering about this thread and none of it sounds particularly fake, because it's stuff we already know.
