What he did was wrong BUT, it's not anyone's place to point out faults in others when we too have faults of our own. Its amazing to me how easy it is for people to sit back and judge others saying what they should do or not do. Or how terrible they are. Claiming to be a Christian is not a claim to say one is perfect. That's why Jesus came to die for our sins. It's amazing the Duggar family has held up as well as they have with all the ugliness people feel so freely to throw their way. I'm praying for them for complete restoration. Good for you Duggar family! I'm so proud of you all for holding your heads up high and not allowing the ugliness of this world to destroy your faith.

I'm not sure the public will allow your family to bounce back from this. Your carefully crafted statements and televised sibling interviews regarding Josh, haven't positively altered public perception yet. Try a different approach. Try an extended hiatus from social media. Time helps. I have huge respect for your family and it just appears as if you're chasing the public & your awkwardly two steps behind. Don't worry about your brand, image or future show deals right now. How about everyone takes a break, your family & the public...then down the road we'll see if thete's still a good fit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-71902163315216835112016-05-30T22:20:09.264-05:002016-05-30T22:20:09.264-05:00Don't think his high profile job caused Josh&#...Don't think his high profile job caused Josh's problems in the beginning.

Please understand the tremendous journey you are taking in surviving infidelity and betrayal. I have been there. After the first acknowledged affairs, we attempted reconciliation. My wayward spouse attended councilling until he could convince me it was his mistake, minimized the infidelity and I felt he changed. Wrong. He began almost immediately taking his activities underground. I was trusting, naïve and wanted to believe him. We separated and divorced. Shortly after we began seeing one another because of our son. Councilling again, followed by remarriage. I felt he was at last faithful. Not so, he began a 10 year underground affair with family friend. There were times, I felt inkling of worry, a gut feeling, but ignored. Never ignore your gut feeling. He was becoming so bold, staying in hotel with one night stands. Also gambling, and our bills weren't paid. After more than 25 years I was broken. I left again in 2009. Few years later, he became affected by age related illness, and heart attack. <br />I'm returned to assist, only with sincere marriage councilling. No quick fixing. We have been in councilling for 5 years. Some ups and downs, but much more honesty. His infidelity began because he had unresolved issues from being molested by family friend 30 years ago. A tortuous secret that had him feeling he must be promiscuous with women to cancel out the molestation by a man. He wanted to prove to himself he wasn't homosexual. Josh has unfortunately had molestation in his youth. It has a horrible affect on their view of their sexuality. Anna sweetie, listen to your gut, and make sure proper marriage councilling is in place for as long as it takes. Reconciliation can be successful as long as both partners are 100% committed. After 39 years my hubby and I are finally in a good place. Long time coming. I had to loose my naïveté and make him take responsibility for his actions. Remember, don't listen to words, actions tell the real story. Words and actions must match. Prayers, your marriage can be saved.

What he did is wrong (no question about it) but he has a human right to express his view and redeem himself. Its ok to either accept it or reject it. Just be open with mind and heart about what you think and feel about any issue. I believe that Josh will have to pay for the rest of his life for it, on one hand but if he draws closer to God and God sees his changes and Josh's deeds show it as such than that is a great thing. If not...well that is up to him and his family to decide what to do. "Isn't appropriate to have Josh offer statements to the public" is a little too judgemental. Anna knows she has prayers going for her and the kids but Josh too needs prayers and vibes to not do those sort of things again. <br /><br />God/Karma has a way of redeeming or punishing or discipling (teach) way that we humans sometimes like and hate. Growth is potential...Choices are what make us. Second chances is a precious choice that Anna is trying for and that Josh is needing to work on and receive in kind. Of one is too closed-minded or hard-hearted then I really pity anyone that thinks that way. Actions will have to speak louder than word where Josh is concerned for the rest of his life. and good choices too. Anna and kids are all in my prayers but so is Josh and the sisters whom were subjected to the unwanted attention and to the whole family as well. just some mental food for thought. Fine if you disagree and fine if you want to agree, or somewhere in a middle of tricky situations...we all may need to make such decisions, maybe more than once in our lifetime.
