I think Jim Bob is a bad, bad man. I watched the show for a long time and always thought he was sinister.
I wouldn’t put it past him to threaten Anna to the point of death if she leaves. I also think he withholds money from allllllll of the kids. But Anna won’t get anything if she leaves. |
They usually keep people who have committed sex crimes against children segregated from the general population, no? Because the other prisoners despise them and they tend to have a lot of "accidents." |
Its not foolproof. Disgraced former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle was left beaten and bloodied in a prison fight by a fellow inmate, according to an official prison incident report made public Wednesday. https://www.azcentral.com/story/entertainment/people/2016/03/16/jared-fogle-prison-attack-steven-niggs-arizona/81863940/

He’s running for public office. If Arkansas knows what is good for them, they wouldn’t elect him. |
I think that’s an old picture. The boy looks like Jessa’s oldest child and he’s a few years older than he is in the picture. |
What difference does it make? One of them is Josh's and his youngest is 2 months and his oldest is 11. |
I'm no Duggar fan, but the picture doesn't really prove anything. That's Spurgeon and Meredith, who are now 6 years old. It's a picture of two toddlers playing with Swiffers at their grandparents' house. I continue to hope that Derick's sitting with Anna during the trial was a show of support for HER and HER KIDS, not for the Duggars. Maybe he can be the male figure for her that says it's ok to go, and gives her "permission" to leave Josh. She can still be part of Jill and Derick's family, and be a spiritually whole person. |
What patriarchal nonsense. A) Her actual brother already gave her 'permission' to leave Josh like 4 kids ago, and B) She's a limpet who will never do anything but organize that army of children into grandmoms servants. |
Yes, nonsense to you and me, because we weren't raised in a cult. Her brother did offer support, but Anna was in a different place then and may have figured it was worth sticking it out. That was after Josh was busted on Ashley Madison. Plenty of women choose to stay with husbands who have cheated. At this point, she may regret not taking advantage of that opportunity. Exiting the fold with the help of Derick and Jill may be a real option for her now. It's interesting you deride "patriarchal nonsense," but then refer to a woman trapped by it as a limpet. Grandmom doesn't need servants--she has Jana. |
Michelle needs more than one servant for 4 homes and 100 acres. And Anna's a limpet because she chose not to educate herself when entering adulthood, never made an effort to get a sustainable job, and immediately popped out 7 kids with a man she knew was a pedophile before she even married him. |
I'm not sure Anna is capable of thinking for herself. |
| His creepy pedophile smirk in his mug shots are just not right. |

I felt bad for Anna when the information about his molesting his sisters and another two young girls came out. But, he was a young teen. Unfortunately, this happens. Especially among siblings. He needed help as did his victims. Jim Bob snd Michelle failed him and their daughters.
I understood why she stood by him after the Ashley Madison affairs. I wouldn’t have stayed. But I was raised in the very conservative southern baptist church. I’ve seen many pastors urge victims of affairs and even domestic violence to allow god to “restore their marriages”. It’s seriously fuked up. But I can at least see why she might hope he could do the work. Child porn is a whole different level. There is no forgiveness. My DH worked innocent images (internet sex crimes against children) when he was an FBI agent. These aren’t just images on a screen. They are real children. Real babies. They are tortured and abused for every picture. If people like Josh didn’t exist, there would be no market. No collectors. I know way more about this sick shi7 then I wish I did. Anna gets ZERO sympathy from me. That she allowed that monster around her kids is truly unforgivable. She should be in a prison cell as well. |

NP, I think when there are SO many of you, you're relatively isolated from peers, and you receive the message that girls are "tempresses who will challenge your natural desires" and even within the family must serve you as a male, the family lines are blurred. I mean, regular incest isn't unheard of, but I think this can all contribute to it. And it did... |
