Josh Duggar had paid Ashley Madison account(s) per Gawker

[Growelly]

Wait, Smuggar had an OK Cupid account too? :o

I can't imagine how you're not keeping up - this thread is so slow moving. :lol:

Right, I know. I'm such a slow reader. :)

I feel so sorry for Anna. Michelle and Jim Bob are probably telling her how bad of wife she is by not fulfilling Josh's righteous desires. The whole world now knows that Josh wasn't happy with her. Everything is her fault because that is the way it is in that patriarchal religion. I wish she would take the kids and leave.

Makes you wonder if fundie wives are told that there are other ways of having sex than the missionary position? That it's ok to experiment?

Also makes me wonder just what JB gave Joshie for advice on what Every Young Husband Should Know the night before the wedding other than Tab A goes into Slot B

Ok folks, do we have a consensus on a pithy name for Part 2 yet?

Regarding the flag burning question on OKCupid, I just assumed he misread it as, "Do you think flag burning should be legal" rather than illegal.

[longskirts]

I'm seeing some comments that Anna is not setting a good example for her kids if she stays with him. I find that unfair. Leaving with that many little kids, including a tiny newborn, no job, and no prospects for getting a job that would support them all is very difficult. I don't believe she would get any support money from Josh for a long time as he has no income. It would also mean being cut off from almost all of her fundie friends and social connections. I wish she would leave too but this situation is his fault and I can understand if she isn't able to.

He is the one setting the bad example for their kids.

Joshgate v2.0 - the saga continues

I wonder if the Duggars are going to say something like this-

"...I could have created an account at Ashley Madison with the address of barack.obama@whitehouse.gov, but it wouldn’t have meant that Obama was a user of the site... Journalists and commentators would be wise to remember that the credentials stored by Ashley Madison must be considered suspect because of their shonky practices, even before you start considering whether any leaked databases are falsified or not."

Since there's addresses and credit card information, that would be extremely difficult, but I could see them attempting to use it (and some people believing it).

Can someone explain how the site can guarantee an affair? They can't exactly force people to go through with it. What if a woman took one face-to-face look at Josh and said BLECH?

I knew a lady whose husband was cheating scum. They were not connected to ATI as far as I know, but they were definitely IFB. She divorced him and her church backed her up. So there are some IFBs out there who are okay with divorcing over adultery.

He is the one setting the bad example for their kids.

At this point in time, the kids are all very young (I don't think Mack is 6 yet, but someone correct me if I am wrong) and wouldn't understand marital problems anyways (especially bedroom issues).

I really wish she would at least take a 2 week vacation with the kids and visit one of her non ATI sisters (Suze, Rebekah) and get their perspective.

She has the potential to write the tell-all and that would set up her and the M kids for life.

(And at this point it's safe to say Meredith is the last M kid).

ha referred to this thread as "joshly madison" in the speculating thread...kinda catchy!

[FundieWatcher]

As of this morning the Anna&Josh Facebook page had 161,846 likes. The Official Duggar page had 774,896 likes.

I'm curious if it will go down (or up) as word gets out.

HappyAtheist coined a wonderful name so I will plagiarize her and offer:

Joshley Madison and the Big Leak.

The guarantee is that if the affair doesn't happen you get your money back. There has been speculation in this thread and other places that some of the actual female profiles (those that aren't bots) are held by escorts in which case, AM is more like a pimp than a social networking site for people with no moral character.

Happy made a comment in another thread that made me giggle. She called this the "Joshley Madison" scandal.

So, I propose the following: "Joshley Madison: The Snark Strikes Back"

[doggie]

This is literally the first time (I think since the time she "happily" went on a book tour with the family at nine months pregnant) that I have felt any empathy for Anna.

I hope she sees that she is not setting a good example for her daughters...

I hope she sees that Josh is treating her like garbage... and that she doesn't have to stand for it....

But, unfortunately... Yeah. She will be the good wife, that stands by her man.

Well he is standing or kneeling behind another woman

[Fundie Bunny]

I think i am a little late, i still haven't read the thread, but OMG. What a little fucker we have. And this is the man who waited until hus wedding to kiss his bride...

Hope Anna takes the kids and leaves his smug ass and goes to live far far away from him

There are so many bad deflections on their FB page from the random people actually defending them:

And I'll ask you [name snipped] what's your expert opinion on George Soros???

I mean - really? Soros is the best she can come up with? I bet she's a hoot, whoever she is, on political threads. :cray-cray:

I don't understand why these leghumpers are humping so much in spite of all of the evidence that this family is toxic; Josh molested his sisters, and had multiple paid accounts to a notorious hook-up site. What will it take for them to abandon their Duggar love? Will it have to go all the way to a "dead girl, live boy" situation? :wtf:

Nevermind, it's already made. I'm honored that my quote was chosen.

Just wanted to let you know - I flagged this to make sure the Admins/Mods know that we need to either:

1. Close this thread to further comments or

2. Merge the second part with this part.

Happy seems to be the one who usually starts second parts of threads, but anyone can. Just be sure to flag it in the future so that they can come in and do what is needed. :)

Probably.

In my own opinion, I wouldn't be surprised if some of them cling so much because they're the "right" type of family. Meaning:

- they're white

- they're Protestants

- they have decent-looking kids

If the Duggars were black, Hispanic, Muslims, Jewish, members of the LGBTQ community, or anything other than what they are. . . there would have been heads rolling long before either scandal broke.

Oh also Amy must be furious! Attention taken away from her AND all people we'll be talking about at her wedding especially if Josh attends

Amy nothing, this is the second time that Josh's sexual behaviors have stolen the limelight from the Bateses.

No one cares about Amy, really. But, the Bateses have a show, too, and their big news should be used to promote said show. But, twice in a row, they've had big news overshadowed by Josh's sexgates.
