Courtesy of Hollywood Gossip:
"Josh is determined to fix his image so he can make a comeback," a source close to the family tells Us Weekly.
"He'll stop at nothing to get back in front of the cameras again, especially because he's broke and has no prospect of work.
"Getting another reality show is the only way he can think of to make real money."
Josh has been a public figure for long enough to know that any post-scandal comeback starts with an apology tour, and he's already making plans to sob his way through a contrite interview or two:
"Josh is having Anna reach out to people like Dr. Phil and Megyn Kelly so he can have his mea culpa moment," the source claims.
"If that goes well and people are sympathetic towards him, he is sure he can convince TLC to give him and Anna a spin-off - something to do with healing their marriage within the Christian faith."
Hang on a minute, I'm fighting my gag reflex.
You know scandal is not that a child molesting pervert is negotiating a pathway back into America's living rooms.
The scandal is that it will probably work.
What's more the first episode will likely attract millions of viewers and ultimately be a big hit for TLC.
And that my friends is why we currently have a narcissistic sociopathic reality star now within striking distance of winning the White House.
This is who we are now. This is what we have become.
Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

In our "Where are they now" segment let's see what's up with Josh Duggar.
Courtesy of People:
Nearly a year to the day after news broke that Duggar had inappropriately touched five underage girls when he was a teen, the former 19 Kids and Counting star appears to be rejoining the family business of restoring and selling used cars.
A source tells PEOPLE Duggar "looks happy" and "interacts very well with people," and spends a lot of time at his parents' home, as well as at the family garage.
According to People magazine the folks around Tontitown where the Duggars live are not particularity scandalized by Josh's presence.
Really?
Gee nice to see that a evangelical moralist can be accused of molesting his sisters, get caught cheating on his wife with a porn star, and discovered searching for more women to cheat with on an online dating site, and then have the whole thing resolved after only a seventh month stay at an uncredentialed faith based "rehab facility."
Ain't hypocrisy grand?

The Duggars WILL return to reality TV. Pretty sure that's sign of the Apocalypse.
Fans of the TLC series "19 Kids and Counting" will be happy to know that the series will be back for another run.
The stars of the series recently suffered through some scandals when it was revealed that Joshua Duggar took part in AshleyMadison.com, a website that serves as an online dating site for married men. With the family known as devout Christians, the news of Joshua's infidelity led to the show's cancellation.
By the way the participation in the dating website is the ONLY reason given for why the show was originally cancelled.
There is no mention of Josh Duggar sexually abusing his sisters, the family's attempt to cover that up, or the fact that Josh Duggar physically abused a porn star.
How very Christian of this news outlet to provide cover for the Duggars once again.
Well so much for TLC or the Duggar family learning anything from this experience.

Former reality star and executive director of the Family Research Council is being sued by a former porn star for battery.
![]() |
Birds of a feather. |
The oldest son of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, Josh Duggar, is being sued by porn star Danica Dillon, In Touch has learned exclusively.
In the legal papers, Danica (real name: Ashley Stamm-Northup) alleges that Josh twice committed battery against her when they had sex in March and April this year — a story In Touch broke in August — and is asking for $500,000 because, she says in court papers, the incidents were so awful they caused her "physical and emotional injuries" and she felt “as if she were being raped.” Not only does Josh have to answer to Danica, but he’ll likely be questioned about all of his past sexual misconduct.
Nothing will be off-limits — including still-hidden details about cheating on his wife and having a porn addiction, as well as how he molested five underage girls, including four of his own sisters, as a teen.
Oh THIS is going to get ugly. I can hardly wait!
In what I am sure is a completely unrelated news it appears that the Duggars staged a daring rescue of Josh from the facility that he was staying at to "rehabilitate."
It is now revealed why the Duggar family was forced to remove wayward eldest son, Josh Duggar, from the Illinois addiction program he checked into in August. In what can only be seen as a type of emergency evacuation, the Duggar family plane left Rockford, Illinois, and flew to Springdale, Arkansas, under severe weather warnings and high-wind alerts.
It is clear that Josh Duggar left the program without finishing even half of the minimum six month course.
In short, students are either kicked out of the School of Discipleship or they simply lose interest in finishing. While at the school, Josh was not allowed to have cash, checks, or credit cards. He had no way of leaving the Rockford facility without assistance. Whether he was kicked out or he just wanted to leave, the school’s policy is to move the student to a local homeless shelter when he is no longer in the program. That was the emergency that sent the Duggar plane on a hazardous flight in inclement weather conditions.
It must be remembered that Josh Duggar didn’t just decide to confess his sins one day and turn his life around. Rather, he was caught like a deer in the headlights when hackers published information about two of his accounts on the adultery dating site, Ashley Madison.
Let's see leaves the Christian rehabilitation center in the middle of a dangerous windstorm before finishing the program, and is currently being sued by an ex-porn star for battery, yeah I'm sure Josh has learned his lesson.
Aren't you?

NBC releases trailer to promote Law and Order episode inspired by the Duggar family sex scandal.
Courtesy of Raw Story:
NBC released a teaser trailer Wednesday for an upcoming episode of their popular long-running crime show Law & Order: Special Victims Unit that is loosely based upon the real-life molestation scandal involving the Duggar family.
Keeping with their history of stories “ripped from the headlines, ” the Duggar family tale was inevitable for the Law & Order franchise devoted to sex crimes.
With the Duggar’s 19 Kids And Counting TV show off the air after it was revealed that eldest son Josh had admitted to molesting several of his sisters when he was a teen, the Law & Order episode comes on the heels of a TLC special on childhood sexual abuse that starred two of the Duggar daughters.
Introduced as a “reality TV family’s shocking scandal,” the clip shows a squeaky-clean and very large all-American family as Det. Amanda Rollins explains, “One of their virgin daughters is knocked up, so there goes their TV show….”
You know I would think that once you are featured on a show like Law & Order due to a terrible incident such as sexual abuse among family members, that you are essentially finished an example of a "squeaky clean" Christian American family.
My daughter freaking loves Law & Order, and watches it over and over again in reruns, but personally I never watch it.
I might just tune in for this episode however.

Christian homeschooling organization used and heavily promoted by the Duggar family is being sued for covering up, you guessed it, sexual assault and harassment of employees.
Courtesy of the Washington Post:
Five women have sued the Institute in Basic Life Principles, once a leader in the Christian homeschooling movement, charging that the organization and its board of directors enabled and covered up sexual abuse and harassment of interns, employees, and other participants in its programs.
Each of the plaintiffs — Gretchen Wilkinson, Charis Barker, Rachel Frost, Rachel Lees and a Jane Doe — seeks $50,000 in damages, alleging that the organization and its board acted negligently, with willful and wanton disregard for them, and engaged in a civil conspiracy to conceal the wrongdoing.
The lawsuit is the latest chapter in a long-simmering scandal that has engulfed the ministry once admired by conservative Christian parents for teaching them how to raise obedient, devout and chaste children since the 1960s. The ministry has found dedicated followers in politics, including Rep. Daniel Webster (R-Fla.), who sought to replace Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) as House Speaker, and in entertainment.
Last year founder and long time President, Bill Gothard, resigned amid allegations that he had sexually harassed more than thirty female employees over the years.
Oh and who could forget this:
Earlier this year, IBLP was once again in the headlines after the gossip magazine In Touch reported that Josh Duggar, the eldest son of reality television stars and longtime Advanced Training Institute members Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, had been sent to an IBLP training center as a teenager after he admitted he had sexually abused four of his younger sisters and a family friend.
That's right, the guy who the Duggars sent their sister fondling son to in order to straighten him out, had to resign in response to charges of sexual harassment, and his organization is being sued for covering up similar activities among staff members.
Oh and Josh Duggar himself is currently in hiding in response to being outed as a customer of Ashley Madison, having admitted to a porn addiction, and being accused of paying a porn star for rough sex.
Gee, uh...anybody else seeing a pattern here?

On Friday night's Real Time Bill Maher calls out Republicans over their terrible choice in heroes.
Courtesy of Politicususa:
Maher asked Republicans, “If these better than the rest of us real Americans really do exist, how come when they find one, they turn out to be a creep? Either you’re a terrible judge of character, or there’s nobody home at the good people house.”
The Real Time host ran down the list. Kim Davis turns out to be everything Republicans hate. Cliven Bundy is a racist. George Zimmerman is an angry racist who keeps getting in trouble with the police. Joe The Plumber was a totally fabricated lie.
Of course Maher saved his most scathing remarks for sister molester and Ashley Madison customer Josh Duggar:
"Josh traded on his family’s image to work as a lobbyist for the ultra-conservative Family Research Council, and all of the Republican presidential candidates wanted a picture with him. Until it turned out, he had two Ashley Madison accounts, had paid for rough sex with porn stars and had molested his sisters."
Of course to that list we could also add the tragically stupid Sarah Palin, the Blinded by the Bible Ben Carson, and of course the incredibly ego-maniacal Donald Trump.
In fact one would be hard pressed to think of a single conservative icon who was not completely phony, as well as a tragically flawed human being.
Yes and to that list I would also add Republican hero Ronald Reagan. Who not only raised taxes, and granted amnesty to millions of undocumented immigrants, but also resided over one of the most corrupt administrations in recent memory.

Duggar girls get their own show on TLC because you know reality television is just not horrible enough already.
Two months after the Discovery-owned cable channel canceled 19 Kids and Counting over Josh Duggar's sexual molestation admission, TLC has ordered several new specials centered on his two sisters Jessa Seewald and Jill Dillard.
Production is slated to begin soon for a targeted year-end premiere for at least one of the specials, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The untitled specials will center on Dillard, her husband, Derick, and their infant son as they prepare to move to El Salvador for missionary work, and Seewald, who is expecting her first child with husband Ben on Nov. 1. Two or three specials are currently planned.
Grow up in front of the TV camera with virtually every part of your life broadcast into people's living rooms, while living under your father's strict religious rules, and being molested by your own brother. Gee who wouldn't want to give them their own show?
If there is still an audience for this then I think that says something really unfortunate about the state of our country.
Now if the two girls wanted to tell the truth about what went on behind the scenes during their carefully scripted reality show, and what their brother was really doing to them, THEN there might be something worth watching here.

Uh oh! Hide your children and your porn stars because it looks like Josh Duggar has escaped from rehab.
Courtesy of No Longer Quivering:
While People Magazine and other tabloids are speculating mightily about the type of treatment Josh Duggar may be receiving at Reformers Unanimous in Illinois some rather curious news comes out of that area. No one in Rockford, Illinois has actually spotted Duggar among the other recovering addicts at RU. He hasn’t been seen coming or going from the mandatory twice a Sunday services at North Love Baptist Church. Which is odd considering it would be a mandatory part of his recovery process at RU. There has been absolutely no sightings of Josh anywhere in Rockford or RU.
Here is more from The Hollywood Gossip:
The Duggars’ private plane, piloted by John David Duggar, pulled into Rockford, Ill., one night, only to turn around 10 minutes later.
It was believed that this was a clandestine perv dropoff and that Josh entered Reformers Unanimous, a Christian treatment facility.
His parents have publicly supported the facility in the past, so the theory made sense ... except he reportedly hasn't been seen there.
Radar insiders claim Josh Duggar hasn't shown up to the rehab center’s mandatory meetings and church services in the last week.
And then it all gets even more suspicious:
In another surprising twist, the family’s plane took another mystery trip August 27 across the Duggars’ home state of Arkansas.
The plane arrived in Paragould, a quiet, eastern town, around 9 a.m., and took off for home in Springdale, Ark., around 6 p.m.
The Christian family does not have property in the area, and no known friends or extended family members are from the town.
Nor are there are any known rehab centers in the vicinity.
So wait, does THIS mean that after coming clean about being a ginormous hypocrite, and after being accused of roughly banging a porn star, that Josh Duggar might be walking free out among all of us normal, non-pedophile sex addicts?
Because that is not okay.
Where could he go?
Your first thought would be back with his family, but since his own sister is now throwing him to the wolves, and his wife's family wants him to disappear, maybe not.
But seriously who else would be comfortable enough hanging around with pedophiles and sexual perverts to invite one of them to hide out in their home?
Nah! Ya think?

Two of Josh Duggar's sisters, and his mother, appear on TLC program about child sex abuse. Oh this ought to be good.
Courtesy of People:
Jessa (Duggar) Seewald and Jill (Duggar) Dillard appeared on TLC's documentary Breaking the Silence Sunday, seeking education to address the aftermath of the abuse they faced at the hands of brother Josh Duggar more than a decade ago.
"It's amazing to understand that there are so many people that deal with this exact same thing in their own families," said Jill, 24.
"So just being educated is very good." Jessa, 22, noted, "I feel like this should be a discussion people are having, even regularly. I think that it shouldn't be a taboo subject, that we should be bringing awareness to child sexual abuse and talking about this."
Okay I'm confused.
Didn't the Duggar family do just about everything they could think of, including the threat of a lawsuit, to keep people from talking about Josh Duggar's molestation of at least five young girls, including his own sisters?
And doesn't the family still claim that none of the victims even knew they were being abused?
Michele Duggar also appeared on the program and here is what she said:
"I was so glad that my girls and I were able to do this together and that we could just be a support and encouragement to each other to be able to gain more information about this important topic," said Michelle, 48.
Yes well that's all well and good but it does not really speak to the fact that the family's refusal to get Josh Duggar the treatment he really needed early on, and their ignorance about his predatory impulses, allowed him to victimize his own siblings as well as other young women who made the mistake of sleeping over at the Duggar household.
Not only that but the fact that Josh was also recently outed as a paying customer for the online cheating website Ashley Madison, and that he paid for sex with a porn star, should also suggest that Josh's problems were not due to childlike curiosity, but rather to a pathological need for illicit sexual encounters that may very well have resulted from his upbringing and the example set by his parents.
If true than the problems in the Duggar family are undoubtedly more problematic than we have been led to believe, and they should be the last people trotted out as "victims" in any sense of the word.

Bill Maher mocks new female sex pill and tells Josh Duggar that he doesn't have an addiction he is "just horny."
Courtesy of Mediaite:
From a pill that makes women feel like they have a “sexual desire disorder” to religion telling people they’re having too much sex, Maher said that maybe everyone should just chill out and be okay with everyone’s own sexual choices without judging them.
He mocked Duggar for going to rehab after it was discovered he had two Ashley Madison accounts, explaining that he doesn’t have a addiction, “you’re just horny!”
My favorite line: "Josh of course is one of the nineteen Duggar children from that horrific reality show, And as a professional Christian he'd been getting paid to preach about only using his penis to procreate with his God sanctioned spousal vessel."

As suspected Josh Duggar's "long term rehab" is going to consist of participating in a "pray the demons away" religious program with no oversight from medical or mental health professionals.
![]() |
Just need a little more Jesus that's all. |
Earlier today, the Duggar family confirmed that Josh has been locked away in a “long-term treatment center,” ostensibly for his self-described porn and sex addiction. And the most likely candidate by far is the Christian-based, North Love Baptist Church-affiliated Reformers Unanimous recovery center.
A place that’s little more than a glorified, bible-based labor camp. Should this indeed be Josh’s home for the coming months, he just paid $7,500 to study the Bible and work for free for the next six months. Not at all unlike the time he spent at the facility that supposedly “cured” him of the perversions that caused him to molest five young girls in his teens.
(At the bottom of the post Gawker was able to affirm that this was indeed where Josh was headed.)
Gawker located this rather troubling introduction to the program from Benjamin Burks, the programs "International Director."
If you skip to the 6:50 mark you will see a guy in a lab coat, claiming to be a doctor, who craps all over the medical profession and says this:
In my medical opinion Reformers Unanimous has been so successful because it deals with the core of the problem in addiction. In medicine today we have dismal success rates unfortunately because most in the medical profession are only dealing with parts of the individual. They are dealing with the physical, they’re dealing with the psychological, but they are forgetting the spiritual.
Yeah I think I want to see that guy's license to practice medicine.
The whole program is broken down into very A strict schedule of prayer, eating, prayer, working, prayer, sleeping, and of course prayer.
Just in case anybody confuses the program with an actual medically approved rehabilitation program there is this disclaimer.
No doctor on site, no doctor insight, and apparently no doctor in sight of the facility.
In other words there is NOTHING here that is going to help Josh Duggar with what is turning out to be a rather powerful sexual dysfunction.
So by a show of hands, how many of you are surprised?
Yeah, me either.

Josh Duggar enters long term rehab center amid charges that he cheated on his wife, and molested his own sisters.
According to a statement on the Duggars' website ole Joshie is getting a little rehabilitation:
We are so thankful for the outpouring of love, care and prayers for our family during this most difficult situation with Josh. As parents we are so deeply grieved by our son’s decisions and actions. His wrong choices have deeply hurt his precious wife and children and have negatively affected so many others. He has also brought great insult to the values and faith we hold dear. Yesterday Josh checked himself into a long-term treatment center. For him it will be a long journey toward wholeness and recovery. We pray that in this he comes to complete repentance and sincere change. In the meantime, we will be offering our love, care and devoted support to Anna and our grandchildren as she also receives counsel and help for her own heart and future. During this time we continue to look to God—He is our rock and comfort. We ask for your continued prayers for our entire family.
Oh God, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Well let's hope this is more effective than the LAST counseling Josh received after he molested his sisters.
And he is going to need it because apparently he has been paying for sex with porn stars:
In a bombshell world-exclusive interview with In Touch magazine, stripper and porn star Danica Dillon, 28, reveals she had sex not once, but on two separate occasions, with Josh Duggar, both occurring when his wife, Anna, was pregnant with their fourth child!
Danica — who passed a polygraph test conducted for In Touch by a top certified polygrapher on Aug. 24 — details her two sexual encounters with Josh in the new issue of +In Touch+, on newsstands now. The first occurred after Josh approached her at the Gold Club in Philadelphia, where she was performing, in mid-March and the second only a month later when Danica was performing at Creekside Cabaret in Colmar, Pa.
According to In Style Dillon reported that Josh was rough with her and stated that:
"He was manhandling me, basically tossing me around like I was a rag doll."
She also claimed that while she has had rough sex before this was different:
“It was very traumatic. I’ve had rough sex before, but this was terrifying.”
She also says that she expects there are other girls besides her who will be coming forward.
And all of this after Jim Bob tried so hard to help curb his son's lustful thoughts.
This from Raw Story:
According to 2014’s Growing Up Duggar — a companion book to the Duggars’ TLC series 19 Kids and Counting — Jim Bob keeps the boys in the family from ogling attractive women by saying the word “Nike” whenever the clan runs into a woman or girl who might excite their lust. The word is the boys’ signal to look down at their shoes.
“That’s a signal to the boys, and even to Dad, that they should nonchalantly drop their eyes and look down at their shoes as we walk past her,” said the book.
You know I think I see the flaw in Jim Bob's parenting approach.
After all isn't THIS the Nike motto?
Let's face it Josh Duggar is probably just the tip of the evangelical iceberg.
If the Duggar family was smart they would get counseling for the whole damn family before it's too late.
We are so thankful for the outpouring of love, care and prayers for our family during this most difficult situation with Josh. As parents we are so deeply grieved by our son’s decisions and actions. His wrong choices have deeply hurt his precious wife and children and have negatively affected so many others. He has also brought great insult to the values and faith we hold dear. Yesterday Josh checked himself into a long-term treatment center. For him it will be a long journey toward wholeness and recovery. We pray that in this he comes to complete repentance and sincere change. In the meantime, we will be offering our love, care and devoted support to Anna and our grandchildren as she also receives counsel and help for her own heart and future. During this time we continue to look to God—He is our rock and comfort. We ask for your continued prayers for our entire family.
Oh God, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Well let's hope this is more effective than the LAST counseling Josh received after he molested his sisters.
And he is going to need it because apparently he has been paying for sex with porn stars:
In a bombshell world-exclusive interview with In Touch magazine, stripper and porn star Danica Dillon, 28, reveals she had sex not once, but on two separate occasions, with Josh Duggar, both occurring when his wife, Anna, was pregnant with their fourth child!
Danica — who passed a polygraph test conducted for In Touch by a top certified polygrapher on Aug. 24 — details her two sexual encounters with Josh in the new issue of +In Touch+, on newsstands now. The first occurred after Josh approached her at the Gold Club in Philadelphia, where she was performing, in mid-March and the second only a month later when Danica was performing at Creekside Cabaret in Colmar, Pa.

"He was manhandling me, basically tossing me around like I was a rag doll."
She also claimed that while she has had rough sex before this was different:
“It was very traumatic. I’ve had rough sex before, but this was terrifying.”
She also says that she expects there are other girls besides her who will be coming forward.
And all of this after Jim Bob tried so hard to help curb his son's lustful thoughts.

As expected Josh Duggar's wife "partially blames herself" for his infidelity.
Courtesy of the Daily Mail:
Anna Duggar partially blames herself for her husband Josh's admitted infidelity, it has emerged.
The 27-year-old - who shares four children with Josh - will likely 'on some level.... absorb some of the blame' for her spouse's cheating and addiction to online porn, a Duggar family insider says.
And she will 'no way' leave Josh for his actions - which the 19 Kids and Counting star confessed to after he was named as one of the 37million spouses to allegedly have Ashley Madison accounts.
'Anna will not leave him. As with her in-laws, she is turning more to her faith than ever,' the insider told PEOPLE Magazine. 'She is fully and permanently committed to her marriage and children.
Can't say this surprises me. These women are trained to believe that everything is ultimately their fault, and that all they need is more faith to overcome it.
In fact Josh's mother even has a tip to keep marriages happy. Always offer up your body even if you are tired or sick. After all isn't THAT all women are really good for?
If Anna has been adhering to her mother-in-law Michelle's top marriage tip, she will have said 'yes' to sex whenever her husband has wished to have it - regardless of how tired she may have been.
'Be available. Anyone can fix him lunch, but only one person can meet that physical need of love that he has,' Michelle, 49, told TODAY Moms in an interview last year, citing a friend's advice.
'You always need to be available when he calls.'
You know I'm not gonna lie, the idea of my wife ALWAYS being in the mood when I want sex sounds pretty good to me.
However as a human being the idea that she would force herself to do it just to keep me happy is a little repugnant.
I am not a rapist, so if my partner feels pressured or coerced into providing intimacy, that makes me uncomfortable, and it is ultimately not at all sexy.
One has to wonder if Anna also feels partially responsible for Josh sexually abusing his sisters? Or is that simply THEIR fault for being females while in his presence?
Let's face it this guy has quite a number of problems as it pertains to sex, and those certainly did not start with his marriage.

Josh Duggar comes clean: "I have been the biggest hypocrite ever."
![]() |
"I am totally looking for someone hotter and nastier." |
I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife.
I am so ashamed of the double life that I have been living and am grieved for the hurt, pain and disgrace my sin has caused my wife and family, and most of all Jesus and all those who profess faith in Him.
I brought hurt and a reproach to my family, close friends and the fans of our show with my actions that happened when I was 14-15 years old, and now I have re-broken their trust.
The last few years, while publicly stating I was fighting against immorality in our country, I was hiding my own personal failings.
As I am learning the hard way, we have the freedom to choose to our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. I deeply regret all hurt I have caused so many by being such a bad example.
I humbly ask for your forgiveness. Please pray for my precious wife Anna and our family during this time.
Okay well the guy is clearly a scumbag, but you have to give him a little credit for coming forward and admitting that he was a hypocrite. After all some of these guys would deny this until their dying breath.
However having said that I think this also reveals what most of us already suspect about ALL of these holier than thou types, and that is that they are usually deeply in denial about their own proclivities and tend to openly attack others they deem "perverted" in order to camouflage their own "sinful" nature.
Personally the minute I hear one of these so-called "family values" Christians attacking the LGBT community, feminists, or secularists I also think to myself, "I wonder what skeletons HE or SHE is desperately trying to keep locked away in their closet of shame?"
One thing I think we can say for sure, and it is that there is NO fucking way the Duggar family is returning to reality TV now.

Ashley Madison hack reveals that pro-traditional marriage advocate Josh Duggar was looking for some non-traditional hanky panky on the side.
So the thirty days have passed and as promised the folks who hacked Ashley Madison's website have released the names of those who were looking for love in all the wrong places.
And guess which proponent of Christian family values name popped up.
That's right, the old sister banger himself, Josh Duggar.
Courtesy of Gawker:
According to the data, Josh Duggar was paying Ashley Madison in order to find an extramarital partner for the following acts:
“Conventional Sex,” Experimenting with Sex Toys,” One-Night Stands,” “Open to Experimentation,” “Gentleness,” “Good With Your Hands,” Sensual Massage,” “Extended Foreplay/Teasing,” “Bubble Bath for 2,” “Likes to Give Oral Sex,” “Likes to Receive Oral Sex,” “Someone I Can Teach,” “Someone Who Can Teach Me,” “Kissing,” “Cuddling & Hugging,” “Sharing Fantasies,” “Sex Talk.”
And here are the turn-ons that he offered up in service of finding a compatible person other than his wife with which to engage in those acts:
“A Professional/Well Groomed,” “Stylish/Classy,” “Casual Jeans/T-shirt Type,” “Muscular/Fit Body,” ”Petite Figure,” “Tall Height,” “Short Height,” “Long Hair,””Short Hair,” “Girl Next Door,” “Naughty Girl,” “Sense of Humor,” “Imagination,” “Creative and Adventurous,” “Relaxed and Easy Going,” “Aggressive/Take Charge Nature,” “Confidence,” “Discretion/Secrecy,” “A Good Listener,” “Good Personal Hygiene,” “Average Sex Drive,” “High Sex Drive,” “Dislikes Routine,” “Has a Secret Love Nest,” “Disease Free,” “Drug Free,” and “Natural Breasts.”
In July 2014*, he seems to have started a second account that was linked to his home in Oxon Hill, Maryland, where he spent his time lobbying against causes like same-sex marriage. The birthday listed in the data for Duggar’s first account is February 3, 1988, one month off Duggar’s actual birthday of March 3, 1988. The birthday listed for the second account is March 2, 1988.
The two accounts overlap by a period of a few months. When he launched the second account, Duggar paid an initial fee of $250 that appears to have gone toward the purchase of an “affair guarantee”:
Customers who buy 1,000 credits for $250 receive a money-back “affair guarantee,” if they don’t have an affair within three months.
Gee it looks like SOMEBODY wasn't taking his Bible lessons very seriously now does it?
I am not usually a fan of hackers, but you have to admit this could not have happened to a more deserving hypocrite.
Quick, somebody look up these two next!

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar want to give you advice about sexual assault. Wait, what?
Courtesy of Star Magazine:
Two long months after news broke that Josh Duggar molested five girls, including four of his underage sisters, TLC has finally pulled the plug on 19 Kids and Counting.
But, along with an hour-long documentary about child abuse that includes Jill and Jessa, Jim Bob and Michelle have a plan to get their family back on TV and TLC paychecks coming in.
“The family can’t afford to not have the show—it is their main source of income, and with a family of that size, without it they’re in enormous trouble,” says a friend, adding the Arkansas couple are willing to beg for forgiveness to get the cash flowing again.
“They know they have to at least pretend to be sorry about what happened, and now they want a spin-off where Jim Bob and Michelle would give advice to abuse victims—even though they’re in denial about their culpability in Josh’s crimes.”
In the hierarchy of truly terrible ideas this would have to be fairly close to the top.
These are religious zealots NOT trained counselors!
And based on how they handled the abuse that he inflicted on his sisters, I would not let them teach my dog not to pee on the carpet much less teach a child not to hump a family member.
Fortunately, according to this same article in Star, it is very likely that ole Jim Bob will have to do something else in order to feed his herd of misfits as a return to TV would "take a miracle."

In wake of Duggar sex scandal TLC decides to broadcast a commercial free "special" on sexual abuse. Yep, that should make everything all better.
Courtesy of People:
The network decided to put together the special, titled Breaking the Silence, after it was reported in May that Josh Duggar had molested five underage girls -- including some of his sisters -- when he was a teenager.
The documentary will air on Sunday, August 30, and sets out to "promote education, raise awareness, and advance the conversation" on child sexual abuse.
"The one-hour documentary is built around the personal and emotional stories of brave survivors who have found the courage to come forward," the network statement said.
Added TLC President Marjorie Kaplan that "the goal is to take what has been a difficult and painful experience, and focus that attention on the really critical issue of child protection and child sexual abuse."
Apparently Jessa and Jill Duggar are also going to be part of this program. (Wait I thought they "slept" through their abuse and did not even know it happened to them?)
You know I was all ready to mock the network for too little too late, but then I realized that a network that broadcast reality shows such as "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," "Kate Plus 8," as well as "Toddlers & Tiaras" might be the perfect place to find victims of sexual abuse and broadcast their stories to the public.
In fact if they wanted to TLC could probably turn this into a full time thing, as I imagine there is really no bottom to the well of abuse and human suffering that has been tapped into by their reality shows.
But they won't because, let's face it, people do not tune into these shows to feel the character's pain, they tune in to laugh at their suffering and for the chance to feel superior to somebody on TV.

Having lost their lucrative reality TV show the Duggars are now reduced to begging for donations on YouTube.
Courtesy of Radar Online:
Thanks to their former lucrative TLC contracts, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are reportedly millionaires.
However, now that the network has canceled the family’s reality show, 19 Kids And Counting, following disgraced son Josh’s sex abuse scandal, the shameless parents and their ultra-Christian brood are begging fans for financial support, RadarOnline can reveal.
On the conservative clan’s official YouTube page, Duggar Studios, the family asks for supporters to contribute funds so the kids can create “fresh quality content” on their video site.
“Every contribution is helpful, big or small,” they claim.
Begging for money in exchange for low quality videos?
Now where have I seen that before?
Well you know what they say, birds gotta fly, fish gotta swim, and grifters gotta grift.

Source claims Duggars surprised and heartbroken that their reality show was yanked off the air, believe God wants them back on TV.
Courtesy of People Magazine:
When news broke that the Duggars' hit TLC show 19 Kids and Counting had been officially canceled, no one was more disappointed than the family, a source who has worked closely with them tells PEOPLE in this week's issue.
The cancellation came two months after a 2006 police report surfaced revealing that Josh Duggar had been accused at age 14 of molesting five underage girls – including two of his sisters, Jill Dillard and Jessa Seewald. (He apologized and said he had "acted inexcusably" after the report became public.)
The source says the evangelical Christian family, who often discussed their religious faith on their TLC show, is "heartbroken that they've now lost that platform."
"The Duggars want to return to TV because they truly believe it was part of God's plan for them to spread the word about their faith," the source says.
"I think Jim Bob and Michelle honestly did expect people to just move on from this," the source adds. "Their thinking is, they put this behind them ages ago, so why wouldn't the rest of the world?"
Yeah, if sexual molestation was no big deal to them, why should it be a big deal to anybody else?
I love how when religious people really want to do something that they always claim God is the one that wants it for them.
"Hey, hey, hey, you can say no to us, but can you really say no to God?"
Yes, yes we can.
The Duggars are a seriously fucked up family and they should NEVER be given another national platform. And if there really WERE a god, they certainly wouldn't.
