This guy is just an all around loser. What he’s done to his wife, family, and the image of Christianity in general is just sickening. He’s the last hing we need right now. F him.

That's true. Unfortunately, his wife and kids will also be affected.

The Family Research Council is taking a huge hit too. Not many of their donors would be happy to know that their donations helped finance Josh Duggar's activities.

The Duggar's home town is close to Branson, close enough for spillover tourism that's now gone. All those residents that were working and sunk their life savings into restaurants and hotels serving those tourists hoping for glimpse of Duggars are going to be looking for work.

"Exactly!!! This happened to David in the Book of Psalms... and he got caught BEFORE he confessed... and GOD forgave him...shame on this brother in law! Confession and turning away from one’s sin is the answer. GOD is a GOD of redemption!!!"

So I guess there's no limit to what Josh the pervert can do for some Duggar fans. They don't even think his wronged wife's brother should want him kicked out of the family.

The brother really should go after him and kick his doughy, fat behind.

Jesus Christ said the greatest commandment was to love one another...enjoying the pain of others is never loving...and jealousy is ugly.

Any and all of the sins the Duggar family commits do not give license for people to berate, and belittle, after all God is judge, humans are not. For that I am thankful.

They probably ought to put Josh on suicide watch——seriously.

Being a public figure and living a double life doesn’t work in the long run. I guess he isn’t very bright.

re: Did Josh Duggar cheat on his brother, too? Seems like an issue between Duggar, his wife, and God.

No, Josh Duggar’s brotherinlaw, his wife's brother.
Regarding it only being “an issue between Josh & wife & God”, that is totally wrong! Anna's brother is speaking on her behalf. He is expressing outrage against his creepy, cheating brother-in-law. Thank God someone in this entire family circle is doing so!!!! He is the only one who seems to comprehend the devastation, shame, and embarrassment that was brought upon his sister, who is being expected to just suck it up and let it go.

It's Josh Duggar's brother-in-law, and if my broter-in-law hurt my sister then I wouldn't be looking kindly on him either.

You expressed my thoughts exactly. I don’t know anything really about the Duggars but they seem to follow a ‘pattern’ of child rearing and family life. It is not exclusively Christian or evangelical. Is it Bill Gotthard’s program? I pray that their family can and will recover from all this and that hopefully those young couples will find a more balanced Biblical way to live and relate, free in Christ.

The Bible makes it clear that God is the judge of our salvation.

Other than that, it’s full of instruction to judge behavior and actions.

I was thinking the same thing. Haha.

They seem cut from the same cloth.

AMEN!!! You hit it right on the nail. This “cheating” happen between Josh and Anna. It is Anna decision what she wants to do with her marriage with Josh. Also yes it is also involves God. Only 3 principle players should be involved and that is Josh, Anna and God.

I don’t know if Anna’s brother is married. If he is, how do we know he is not cheating on his wife, and if he is not perhaps he will fall and do the same thing when he gets married.

Does it make you feel good to laugh at a family in crisis and pain... but surely you are sinless?

Thank you.

A wife is in pain over her husband’s infidelity and the survival of her family is in jeopardy

She needs to leave to protect her own health. Dude doesn't believe in birth control, so no telling what diseases he's brought home and exposed her to. She needs to change the locks, load his stuff into large garbage bags, and leave it in the front yard for him.

Didn’t think of that angle. Good point.

Thanks for your kind thoughts on our little granddaughter :)

My daughter also has a three year old little girl...and w/only “two” and post partum, nursing, not sleeping...and I know how “overwhelmed” she feels. This poor Anna delivered a week later and has not only a public humiliation (and ridicule); but the very, very real threat of STDs. AIDS, etc. he put her health, the newborns life AT RISK by his very well thought actions.

I don’t understand the “stand by your man” “forgive” all mentality. I understand Divine forgiveness, but I don’t get a wife keeping up a cultish (Gothard) faith that keeps an admitted pedophile (and now outed) creepy sex addict around little ones (under the age of 7). As a mother, her responsibility is to keep her children safe. Her husband has already risked her life as well as their newborns w/his behavior.

Adultery is a serious sin, one that I could never commit against my wife.

But I’ve done other things that are wrong and sinful.

But how dare this guy call out someone else’s sin as if he is without sin. Perhaps he should look in the mirror for the log in his own eye. His most obvious sin is pride. It’s all about his wounded pride.

It’s up to God to forgive Josh Duggar, and up to him and his wife whether they can reconcile their marriage, or whether the necessary trust is forever gone.

The other people who think they need to be involved are just a useless Greek chorus.

They are strict followers of Gothard. In my opinion, Gothardism has a “blame” the victim mentality, ie, somehow Josh’s problems stem from his wife’s lack of attention—so he had no other outlet than to go outside the marriage. Gothardism dovetails w/Quiverfull—big families—wife almost always pregnant, nursing, etc. Anna Duggar has had 4 babies in under 7 years. When you do the math, you really just want to punch Josh Duggar in his pudgy smirking face....but that’s just me.

They invited me into their home. I did not ask admission. Honestly, never watched one episode of their ‘show.” I hate exploitation, no matter who is doing it. And I feel that the Duggar’s exploited their own kids for money. That;s for them to work out with God.

But if one puts one family out for public spectacle - one must live with the results.
