[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is it about this family that makes you hate them so much?
Just don’t watch the show 
There are plenty of weirdo’s [/quote]

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.[/quote]

Michelle Duggar is complicit. [/quote]

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.[/quote]
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 [/quote]

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.  [/quote]
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 
[/quote]

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 [/quote]

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. [/quote]
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 [/quote]

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.[/quote]
