I have to say I've come to really respect Jill's husband, Derick. He supports her in everything, comes across as really gentle and loving in their Q&A videos, is exposing Jill to "public school" books and movies. He said if they ever have a daughter, he would want her to be whatever she wants to be, and to aim to be financially independent from any man. He also believes that the earth is in fact billions of years old. And is the one who helped support her to ask for fair compensation from their television work (hence a big reason why he enrolled in law school). They're still very, very conservative Christians, but at least seem to be open to a more balanced way of living. He seems like a decent man, and I'm glad that at least one of the girls was able to "escape" to a more loving family life.

Isn't Anna the one whose brother said if she wanted to leave Josh, his family would help her? I mean .... maybe she should ask if that offer is still on the table?

Is it true that this one couple isn't welcome at the Duggar family events? Really? Are they completely ostracized? or just not invited for televised things? Did they talk about this publicly?

I honestly wish that the death penalty were applicable to child rapists like Duggar. To abuse a child, firstly, is monstrous. To abuse a child sexually, and damage that part of their soul and life for the rest of their lives is just beyond monstrous.
Where are you getting that he is a rapist?
He said so. He raped his sisters.
And now Notorious Child rapist/GQP donor Josh Duggar was taken into custody by Homeland Security yesterday and today he pleaded not guilty to the charges that his attorney begged the judge not to read aloud. The charges are “receiving and possessing child pornography.”
See a pattern?

I can't get over how Josh is welcome over for big family gatherings and events with all the kids and grandkids, but Jill and her family are the ones who are uninvited, because they no longer go along with JB's orders and optics.
Jim Bob is the grossest.
+1
Jill isn’t welcome bc of birth control and alcohol. But Josh molests kids and he’s forgiven. The thinking is warped. It’s very sad. Lots of therapy and distancing is needed for those Duggar kids.
This is how it works in evangelical circles.

Duggars are a horrific cult as are the Bates as well and all the other TLC reality stars. TLC profits while children get destroyed. Lovely.

I hope this derails Sarah's candidacy for governor.
