First brother to speak up i think.
This statement pulls no punches. It's very direct and puts the victim first. Honestly I'm suprised that one of the duggar bothers put out a statement this direct and one that directly calls out joe and what he did.

Makes you wonder if someone is bribing an officer to turn a blind eye while a phone is brought in or bribing an officer to bring the phone in.

Or putting money on someone else's (fellow disgusting human just like Josh) commissionary account to get the phone for him.

You can insert JimBob as the bribee.

Jinger looks awful, shell shocked. Is it just because of what’s happened in recent days or does she know there’s more to come.

I’ve seen that Kendra was released on bond, a couple of hours after being arrested…..it was a small bond in the great scheme of things…..just under 1500 dollars…..

Apparently she had heard she was going to be arrested and requested to be at the big house???
It also sounds like the 4 charges are related to her own kids, and most likely tracks back to the IBLP teachings and locks on the kids bedroom doors…

Unlike Joe, this will be dealt with in Arkansas as it is unrelated to the Florida stuff….

I wonder if she requested to be arrested at the big house (if that’s true) because it then mean’t the kids wouldn’t need to be taken into care, as the Duggars will ‘look after them’….

It’s a complete mess, the whole thing and the whole Duggar family anyway, so I hope the kids don’t have to suffer even for different reasons…..the old fix one thing but make life harder for something else….

Also if the separation rumours are true, then it might make sense that they haven’t had any more kids over the last four years….

After Josh went to prison, Jana got fined for letting Anna’s kids wander outside while babysitting because she fell asleep….

There’s soooo much we don’t know about and sooooo much that goes on behind closed doors, I just hope all kids can be safe and happy….

I just don't understand standing by your husband in these circumstances. I can imagine women staying with men who aren't particularly nice to them because they've got to stay married, do the "right thing" but once they admit to something like this, how can they justify this? Same with Anna. I do think the women are particularly vulnerable as they're married off so young their brains aren't even finished developing so all their adult life has been with these men, they've no qualifications or skills to rely on outside of the home and they're kind of stuck.

Wonder if Michelle and Jim bob regret letting the cameras in back in 2008.
It’s bad enough such a disfunctional family exists but now the whole world knows all their business. Did they ever consider exploiting their children was wrong. Back then it was reality tv, but now we have children being exploited on social media such as instagram for clicks and money.

Jinger looks understandably shook, and references this not being the first time they have went through this with a Duggar sibling. I think no matter what anyone's opinions are on Jeremy and Jinger or any of the other older girls, there seems to be an expectation on them all to publicly comment on Joe. But what about all the other brothers? Noone is asking for them to condemn it. Unfortunately for the girls they have ready been victims of Josh's crime, I can't imagine dealing with any of that myself.

I wonder what would happen if the women of these husbands betrayed them? I'm not talking about child sexual assault here, I'm talking about standard consensual cheating. You can bet the male fundie ego would vilify a woman publicly, do multiple TV interviews on women being temptresses etc. but when the men do it it's all ment to be hush hush, rotten people.

I had a child in a cot (18 months maybe), who managed to climb out, get through propped open door and climb on a chair by a bannister and throw themselves over, all in the middle of the night! Luckily absolutely no damage done at all ( hospital trip involved!) stairgate went on bedroom door immediately and the chair was removed! For some reason they couldn’t climb over the stair gate! ! It happened nearly 40 years ago but still haunts me!

Omg! I hope it all comes out. Theyre so righteous and above the way that normal people choose to live that they deserve for their hypocrisy to be exposed. And it demonstrates why their weird, repressed and misogynistic way of living is wrong

The public statements are very different from their private communication with each other. Saying all the right things publically, condemning Joe, thoughts with the child etc but clearly they don't see Joes peadophilc actions as wrong. The men in their religion are more important than women or children and the vulnerable can be abused in any way the men see fit. I'm disgusted.
I think it's clear that what they have posted is just to save face to their followers/public and isn't actually what they think

I started off feeling sorry for her when I heard about his arrest. now I just can’t understand her. Is she mentally ill? She seems to have no critical thinking skills at all.

I also follow the reprehensible Rods, agree she is psychologically fascinating but basically a classic child abuser/ neglecter. Her relationships with the kids are INSANE! The recent apparent split with Timothy who posted about having survived his childhood! Evil enforcer Nurie who i think is just as cruel to her own kids with weird Nathan. Samuel's courtship with that absolute nut job in the cinderella dress 😂 poor sad Renee. Beautiful Tessie and the next one with their newly butchered eyebrows 😂 the way Jill adores her lumpen, lazy Shrek of a husband. The way all the kids are put to work in the printing press like poor Victorian waifs, for one less chicken leg 🍗. Mamas snack drswer that noones allowed to touch 😂 honestly i could go on all day, they are absolute top tier entertainment

But it is also really serious abuse a lot of it and the most horrendous stuff is swept under the carpet. Like that horrible old man who the boys used to massage his shoulders 🤮 and wtf went down with poor Gabe who had a serious mental break and was forced to leave home/ ran away

I think thats the way they are brought up in the cult. The dad's make all the decisions for the family, which then passes on to the husbands. The woman are just taught from birth that what the men say goes.
