Maybe she will be the one to leave and write a tell all. Do it, Kendra, you’ll be set for life.

Anna didn’t leave Josh and he has federal charges. These women have minimal job skills and I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t have anything in their name. Not only this but they have to deal with the social pressure from their communities and families about divorce. They aren’t going anywhere.

All the wives whose Duggar husbands have abused children should divorce the husbands, become friends and do a reality show getting SUPER honest about it - how they missed warning signs, what the husbands told them, how they're handling it with their kids, how they told their families, all of that. I'd watch the shit out of that type of show.

Amy’s book shared that Jim Bob’s father was a pedo. It seems to be a family issue now.

A family, famous for breeding, that subscribes to a sexually​ repressive religious worldview is turning out men who are creepy​ about sex?

Shocking.

Not just minimal job skills, the cult does not believe in educating girls so don’t even believe that they have a high school degree. Certainly no college. And just no experience navigating the outside world outside of their homes so it must be very daunting to think of leaving and of course they start having kids really long young so good luck leaving with a bunch of kids on top of no skills.

Plenty of people get paid to do home life and parenting skills. They wouldn't have to do more than this to make money.

+1.

These are all excuses. You can get a GED and become a CNA. I know CNAs making $50-80 k a year.

They are used to a wealthy lifestyle now.

I don’t think anyone is using the lack of education and access to money as an excuse.

Even if they know better, the system is designed to keep them down. Imagine you have no education, no résumé, no job history, no access to funds, and your family of origin who you might turn to you for support would blame you if your husband did anything like got arrested for a sex crime. And you have five kids. What are your options? Not many and that is by design.

Highly recommend people read about or listen to podcasts featuring Tasha Adams, the wife of the founders of the oath keepers, and Tia Levings memoir about how they really had nothing and had to figure out how to leave. It took years. At least they both had drivers licenses, which is a start, but I’m betting some women in these cults don’t have that.

I’m not saying women get a pass. I’m just saying the system is designed so that they have very few options.

Off topic but is there something wrong with their baby? The head is so giant and oddly shaped?

Honestly I’m not saying this to be funny they are so inbred that I wouldn’t be shocked if like…the baby is just inbred and weird looking.

I grew up in a somewhat similar cult that was very insular and without a lot of outside influences (and before the days of the internet) or access to more appropriate outlets for sexual energy.

All sex (other than married couple sex) was evil and bad and wrong. There was no distinguishing between consensual and non consensual or any act. Basically sexual attraction, masturbation and rape were the same. Any sexual desire or sexual urge or need or arousal was just the work of Satan and a personal failing. Nothing was talked about in any detail at all - it was just that anything related to sex in any way was evil. There were a lot of young teen boys who engaged in inappropriate sexual behavior around the ages of 13-15 ish. But even in this environment, the older boys would tell them not to and by the time they were mid teens, almost all of them had stopped.

These guys are men, adults, and with access to the internet and and information and don't even have the excuses the boys in my church / cult did growing up. There is no excuse related to education or religion for the Duggar men.

Anna Duggar became pregnant while Josh Duggar was awaiting sentencing. She’s equally gross.

That didn’t happen. She was pregnant when he was arrested and gave birth shortly before his trial started. She did not get pregnant between his conviction and sentencing.

More details on his arrest.

Lawyer side of DCUM, is his confession likely to hold up if he didn’t know a detective was on the line when he said it?

Tia Levings had even fewer resources than Anna Duggar, and her husband wasn't a pedophile, and she still managed to get out and get her kids to safety.

I do not have sympathy for Anna.
