Atheism & the Duggars

[Rev. Rye]

Here's a week's worth of news about the Duggar:





Some highlights:

• Nobody in the family seems capable of taking a photograph without sporting a shit-eating grin. This may or may not be related to their upbringing.
  
• Jim Bob blatantly lied under oath about how much he knew about what Josh did to his sisters. Or maybe it's a "For Me, It was Tuesday," situation.
  
• At the time he was known to be actively molesting his sisters, Josh was courting the daughter of a family friend. That ended when Jim Bob and Michelle brought their putative in-laws in to talk to them about it. Said attempted  in-laws have since burned their bridges with the family.
  
• There was apparently going to be a trial for the original molestations in 2007, but it fizzled out for some reason.
  
• Cousin Amy claims the rest of the family were kept in the dark about the true extent of the allegations. This may explain why Anna stayed with him, even knowing that she was courting someone who admitted to molesting his sisters. Well, that and her being stuck in a situation where, if she left him, she'd be out of options.
  
• Josh is dumb enough that he apparently texted his wife every time he downloaded CP.
  
• Jim Bob lost his election, third out of four Republican candidates.
  
• Josh liked to watch porn on his phone while driving. Hopefully, it's not CP, but, at least it's not as bad as cooking meth while driving.
  
• When TLC hired a bodyguard for the Duggars, Jim Bob introduced Josh as "The man of the hour" (bear in mind, this was in the wake of the initial molestation allegations coming out.)
