Is Jessa Duggar and the rest of the family just much or partly to blame for Josh?

[Doctor Amadeus]

The reason I say this is because now it seems like Jessa Duggar has been bitten by a bit of the fame bug, where her and much like the rest of the Duggars, seem to be distancing themselves from Josh Duggar, Jessa however seems to be a bit more vocal though. I am not suggesting she is responsible for his molesting anybody, what I am wondering though just like the rest of the Duggars is she responsible for covering for him, I am specifically isolating Jessa because she seems to be going after Josh.

Jessa Duggar Seewald is taking sides following Josh Duggar‘s recent scandals – and she’s breaking alliance from her brother!

The 22-year-old publicly denounced Josh’s shameful actions, taking to Facebook to share sentiments written by father-in-law Michael Seewald.

“It distresses me to say that Josh Duggar’s greatest sin is a byproduct of the sum total of his secretly sinful lifestyle,” the post reads. “That is, that by his hypocrisy, he blasphemed the name of God. He claimed to be a Christian, but by his deeds he has suggested otherwise.”

As reported in PEOPLE , Jessa also shared a link to their family pastor’s recent sermon on infidelity and America’s “sexual epidemic,” in an attempt to address Josh’s indiscretions on cheater-site Ashley Madison.

19 Kids and Counting fans may be surprised by Jessa’s sudden change of heart, especially after she publicly defended Josh on Fox News earlier this summer, explaining that she and sister Jill had forgiven him for molesting them as minors.

“Josh was a young boy in puberty and a little too curious about girls,” Jessa had told Fox News. “And that got him into some trouble. And he made some bad choices, but, really, the extent of it was mild.”

As I said, I am not suggesting anybody is responsible for his actions directly but himself, but I find it ironic and kind of Hypocritical of Jessa to be attacking Josh NOW, especially after sticking up for him along with the clan. I mean if the guy did have a sexual addiction, or he was having a problem sinning, or other issues, if they tried to cover for him, don't they share some blame if he hurt anybody else, after knowing he had a problem?

What is this? Some new Kardashians?

[Mihalik]

Okay she is hot, I get it. But honestly we shouldn't be giving her a platform just because of that.

Add to that the hypocrisy of the fact that all those good Christians circle jerking over her pretty face. Because that's what's going on here. Why do you think everyone cares about her opinions, but hardly anyone gives a shit what one of the other 17 Duggar kids have to say?

[Deleted]

Who are these people? I never heard of them. As someone else asked, is this something like "reality" BS?

I don't care about her looks, I just wonder about her motives for throwing Josh under the bus now.

Yeah, they are kind of the right wing answer to The Kardasians, Big Family straight and strict Moral Values, Multiple Kids, etc, they have their own reality TV series, and in the wake of some recent controversy, about one of the Members Josh Duggar molesting his sisters, he recently also got caught up in accusations of cheating on his wife and having a sex addiction.

Which is kind of surprising considering the life style they preach about, so the question is about why NOW throw him under the bus, I mean if it is part of your moral values to stand by your siblings and what not why would Jessa who more recently spoke against him do so?

[Wildtree]

...........no

[Ivanstone]

Its where he belongs. She is a reality TV person acting like a reality TV person.

You should change the poll to:
"Is Jim Bob Duggar responsible for Josh's behaviour?" (My vote is "Yes")

[TirielWoW]

I don't see how any of this is Jessa's fault. You could make an argument that how Josh was raised has led to this, but his sister is not responsible for his actions.

This poll is terrible because you either have to blame Jessa to point out her family's issues, or you have to say they're both totally blameless.

[Dsonsion]

Why do people grant this much attention to a bunch of overbreeding zealots?

At least they have given a good example of what the religious are all about.

Yeah I didn't mean it as her fault, I thought I made that clear, but she recently seems to be trying to position herself now to what end I don't know where she speaking out against her brother NOT amidst more allegations of being less than holy, I mean personally I would say the parents are mostly to blame after Josh, but the way they all speak about their beliefs, and being a family and whatever, I just thought Jessa speaking out was odd considering she knew and went along with his support until now.

So why not throw him under the bus?

Is she trying to pitch herself with some new found fame into some more reality TV money?

Yeah, true, but the rest of the family seems to have withdrawn, Jessa seems to be lapping up the spotlight which seems inconsistent.

[Cosmic Janitor]

The holier than holy, incest and child molesting version of that ... yeah. That people still give these sick fucks attention is beyond me.

[AndaliteBandit]

She's been raised to believe that the man can do no wrong, that it's his wife's duty to make him never want anyone else, so it's actually pretty brave of her to speak out against her brother. These Quiverfull kids have all been brainwashed, by Michelle's "blanket training" (explained here) as soon as they could crawl, so if this is what it takes to make one begin to question what they've been taught, so be it.

It might also be dawning on her that her mother and father paraded her and her other married sister onto Fox News to tell the world being molested wasn't a big deal, but the other two victims were left at home because it actually is a big deal, and Jim Bob still has hopes of marrying them off as "untouched" maidens.

[Independent voter]

Josh turned out to be a horn dog like his dad. You'd think, having a big libido and fathering 19 kids go hand in hand.

Don't take this as a defense of any one of the Duggars, but a big libido and the number of kids you have are not necessarily tied together. I have 3 kids, does that mean my libido is 3/19 the size of his? Or does it mean that unlike him, my wife and I use protection and a calendar when we don't want to have a kid?

[Ferg]

OP forgot poll option "No one fucking cares"

Why the hell is this thread even...
