I'm sure there is more recent stuff out there, but God's Harvard is an engaging read with information about the Joshua Generation.

Yes, but that book just scratches the surface and is narrowly focused on one corner of academia. There is a much bigger story (I have witnessed it since the 1990's).
You have no idea.

+1 and developing a "let's save this series after one of the stars has been revealed as a molester" by having the victims do a special is just beyond. TLC producers had been in that home long enough to know that the daughters were not allowed to say no to the special and they exploited and benefited from that abusive culture.

It's extra gross that the second show was focused on the adult daughters growing up and making a life for themselves and they still never saw a dime of the money their dad was pocketing

That part was interesting but I didn’t understand how it related to the Duggars.

Josh worked for Family Research Council in DC and if his deviance wasn’t uncovered, most likely would have run for office. His younger brother tried and failed since then. The Duggars are very much politically minded.

Jim bob ran for office while Josh was on trial for possession of child sex abuse videos. I wonder if it was just a money laundering scheme to pay for his lawyers

Just don’t watch the show
There are plenty of weirdo’s

I don’t hate the family at all. I feel sorry for most of them (not Josh or Jim Bob though). And I feel scared about the ways the culture they endorse has the potential to injure people.

Michelle Duggar is complicit.

Yeah I can’t say I feel that sorry for Michelle either since she made the conscious choice to join the religion/ideology and fully advocated for a lot of the horrible decisions the fault made. I’m more conflicted about Anna (Josh’s wife): on one hand, her choices to keep having kids with Josh and letting her husband have access to his kids horrify me but on the other hand, she was raised in this group with the idea that she must submit to her husband and with 7 kids and limited options for taking care of them I do feel like she’s in a very difficult scenario.

I see Anna as complicit
She could have rebelled and gotten her tubes tied when the scandal broke, instead she fixes everything by having another baby

How would she support herself with that many kids and no education? Michelle made her choice and she's a leader in that community. The kids have been brainwashed and abused to comply.

Anna is a grown woman, not a brainwashed child
Having another baby is not the way to fix things
She would have been fine with alimony and child support. The family is wealthy

What alimony? Josh is in jail and he's not paying anything for the next 13 years.

Anna stuck with him so that Jim bob would keep paying her expenses. Her family lives in a windowless warehouse on the Duggar compound

Sarah Huckleberries Sanders and her daddy Mikey support the Duggars publicly such lovely company Republicans keep.

As usual protecting groomers and pedos

They knew they let it continue and they still support them.

Tlc as well horrible

And that’s also part of their beliefs - women can’t just be alone without a man in their lives. Maybe if you were much older and a widow whose own parents were deceased. Even then I feel like there might be some light pressure to move in with a brother or an adult male child or in-law. But other than that, they always have to be under a man’s authority. Since Josh is in prison, Anna’s authority now has to be either Jim Bob or her own father, and I want to say where Josh is locked up is closer to Arkansas than to Florida where Anna is originally from, so they stayed with the Duggars in Arkansas and that’s that.

I never watched any of these shows on TLC because I thought they were exploitative (especially to the kids), and I am even more convinced after this documentary that anybody who was involved with the Duggar show at TLC/Discovery is a garbage person.

I finished this last night and wow, so upsetting. I got the feeling that Jill may take legal action against TLC and/or her parents about the whole lack of payment (listed as a minor) issue. Maybe the statue of limitations has run out, but who knows?

Also, I wish they had given us an update on the rest of the kids. Did that older daughter ever get married? She always seemed the saddest to me.

She has her own family too. I fall to understand how she would have had that many kids without some certainty of how to get by
And still went on to have more kids

She did that because she was brainwashed into thinking that was her only path.

JimBob and Michelle told Anna and Anna's parents about Josh molesting young girls before they arranged their marriage. They raised her IBLP and she is brainwashed. Her dad wrote a letter to the judge supporting Josh. She is not allowed to get help from her family because she is Josh's "responsibility". Her duty is to stay loyal and continue having his children. It's really messed up and I seriously hope one day she gets out with her children. She is trapped in a cult but doesn't know any different because of her own family.

No, Jana never married (she's 33 now). She recently moved into a small house on the same property as her parents' house.

Yeah I remember BITD of the show that everyone called her “Fame-y” and it was obvious that she was trying to build a career off her appearances on it but I really did appreciate her perspective and that of her mother in this. And the Holts! Could have had much more from the Holts. I couldn’t tell where they were right now - obviously they are extremely anti-Josh and it seemed very anti-Jim Bob but they may not have thrown out the whole IBLP stuff with them?

I thought it was really interesting that everyone who was married was interviewed together alongside their spouses. I wanted to hear more from the one young couple who married as teens while in the movement and now we’re both out of it and still together. Sounds like that would be a good story.
