    The Behind the Bastards podcast just did a two-parter on Josh Duggar and the cult he was raised in. There's not a lot of surprises in the episodes, though I hadn't heard that the cop the Duggars reported Josh too is now currently in prison for child porn possession and distribution, but it's worth a listen. And when I say that there's not a lot of surprises in the episode, I mean nobody's really surprised when they hear that the Quiverfull movement is just ate up with rapists and pedophiles.

    I mean, their core belief where they get their name from is basically fuck democracy, fuck having actual good ideas, fuck having good arguments for those ideas, just outbreed your way to victory.
    Like the Bible says.
    And the Biblical tribes did.
    Someone that sees their kids as meat to throw at the enemy ain't got far to go to see them as fuck-meat.
    Cults and movements that see people as meat always go rapey.
    Always.

    "Souls for God's army in Heaven". Don't matter if they're as inbred as hell and thicker than pigshit, God can always magically make 'em brighter in the afterlife if he needs to. 'Course, if he made 'em smarter from the outset they might not enlist...

    I'll admit, some of these necros are interesting because I'm reminded of posters who aren't here anymore. Some I miss, and some I don't.

    FTR, the dude ran for office once before, about 9 children ago, which was how TLC learned about these kooks in the first place.

    Can't believe I'm saying this but if Dayton ran against him, I'd give his campaign some money as long as Duggar loses.

    Josh Duggar’s child porn trial kicks off and the testimony is more disturbing than anyone expected / Queerty

    Former reality TV star/antigay activist/accused child molesterJosh Duggarendured bombshell announcements in a preliminary court hearing yesterday. Close friends of the Duggar family testified that the 33-year-old first began sexually molesting little girls 21 years ago, which, we did the math, means he was 12 (12!) when the alleged behavior started.

    The former19 Kids and Countingstar stands accused of two counts of receiving and possessing child pornography following his arrest last April. The arrest also followed allegations of sexual assault made against him in 2006 and published byIn Touchmagazine in 2015 and resulting in his family’s hit TLC show being canceled.


    Now,Peoplereports that testimony by Duggar’s father, Jim Bob Duggar, and family friend, Bobye Holt, appears to once again confirm the 2006 allegations. It also reveals that Josh molested other young girls–including his own sisters–much earlier than previously reported and that his family knew about it but did not alert authorities.

    Holt, whose daughter dated Josh in 2002 and 2003, told the court that Jim Bob called her and her husband his home on March 30, 2003 to discuss “what Josh had done.” Upon arrival, the Holts learned that Josh had confessed to touching the breasts and genitals of four young girls, including one earlier that day in a Bible study. She said Jim Bob also told them that Josh had inappropriately touched younger girls before.

    “From when he told me … it started at [age] 12 until March 30, 2003,” Holt told the court.

    She also testified to another incident in the Holt home where Josh fondled a sleeping girl. The girl in question woke up and hit him then alerted her. When she tried to tell Josh’s parents, they refused to listen.

    “I went to go tell Jim Bob and Michelle but they said they didn’t want to hear it,” Holt said, adding, “People began to be aware.”

    Jim Bob Duggar, who is currently running for Arkansas State Senate, then took the stand to testify that Josh first admitted to molesting a young girl in 2002. When pressed for details, he claimed he couldn’t remember the exact circumstances or specifics of each incident beyond “inappropriate touching.”

    “It’s been like 18, 19 years ago,” he said under examination. “We tried to handle things in-house. It was a very difficult time in our family’s life.”


    Jim Bob also said that he enrolled Josh in a treatment program in 2003 to address his predatory urges and even took his son to interview with Arkansas State Police, who recorded his 2006 confession. That report would later come to light nine years later when obtained byIn Touch.

    When the report emerged in court this week, Jim Bob to protested, “I’m not gonna allow it! Are you gonna allow for that?” To which Judge Timothy L. Brooks reminded him that has a witness he had no right to object.

    Josh’s attorneys have argued that neither of his previous confessions, nor Jim Bob Duggar or Bobbye Holt’s testimony, should be allowed into the trial citing religious privilege. The defense argues that because Jim Bob Duggar and Jim Holt were church elders at the time Josh confessed,they should be protected as a type of religious confession.

    Judge Books, for his part, seemed skeptical of the argument, pointing out that allegations of child molestation are not protected by a religious exemption and must be reported to the law. He also observed that Bobbye Holt held no position within the church, calling into question the “religious confession” argument.

    He may not have made them, but he certainly watched at least one. It’s mentioned in the article TuckerFan posted.

    At what point he talks about the video? No. It’s gruesome to listen to and the part about the video is not describing anything, it only references the video in the context of the podcast relating what a fuckstain the guy is.

    That's one of the most awful things I've ever read

    I hope this guy gets straight up murdered in prison

    How about the people that covered up for this monster over the years, what's going to happen to them. They don't deserve to be walking the streets

    I’m disheartened that it’s “up to 20 years” and not “minimum 20 years.”
