[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]
Anna’s brother who has left that community publicly supported her and said she and her kids could come live with him. Anna is complicit because she wants to maintain a certain lifestyle not because she doesn’t have other options she could make work if she was worried about protecting her kids. I also doubt she even loves Josh but probably just clings to him because she likely could not get someone else (who wants to date someone who shares that many kids with a pedophile?). [/quote]

She has been conditioned her entire life to fear the secular world and that the best thing for her kids is whatver her husband or FIL say. If they are providing her well enough existence then she’s no reason to question it.

This poor woman have never had a chance to think anything different than what she was taught. [/quote]
But her husband is the secular world. There is no way she would think that someone having affairs on Ashley Madison and consuming child pornography is not behaving in the ways of the secular world. She is making a choice. [/quote]
