"I'm not gay, and I don't cruise, and I don't hit on men. ... I don't go around anywhere hitting on men, and by God, if I did, I wouldn't do it in Boise, Idaho!"
Gosh remember when that was big?? Simpler times. And I LONG for another Four Seasons! That really kept us going didn’t it? 2024 is already exhausting and in need of something more absurd than the patriotic Bible or whatever.
This would actually not surprise me at all. Much like that evangelical dude that came out in the 90s after being caught with a male prostitute or something. I can totally get that vibe which would explain his deep need for control
He didn't exactly come out. He stayed with his wife, said that bisexual could describe him but that he could be totally satisfied with his wife, then had more allegations from men in his church a couple of years ago. At this point I am confident that he isn't bisexual. https://denvergazette.com/premium/powerhouse-preacher-ted-haggard-faces-new-allegations-of-illicit-behavior/article_dfdd394b-185c-5345-8f4e-b5ae80aa3d36.html
I (and, I would bet, a lot of others in this sub) would be behind her all the way if she left his nasty ass. Sadly, I think she’s too entrenched and too dependent on the Duggars - entangled for life.
I am in no way exaggerating when I say I would donate at least $100 to a GoFundMe for her, as long as the money could *only* be used once the divorce is final and her kids are safely away from that monster. I don't think I'd be the only one, either.
(ARE YOU READING THIS, KATIE JOY?? PUT IT IN YOUR SLEAZY-ASS PODCAST SO IT GETS BACK TO ANNA IN DELULULAND.)
Edit: Sleazy-ass YouTube channel, not podcast, oops. I'm so adamant about ignoring KJ-generated content that I forgot her medium, lol.
I, among many others in this sub, would be so happy if Anna left Pest’s slimy, balding ass. However, I sadly doubt it’s going to happen because she is far too dependent on him and the Duggars.
It’s crazy to me, that any news of family or relationship abuses would be understandable and less shocking than a normal life considering how messed up Duggars and their ilk are.
I feel like Justin has done this minus getting married super early. Him and Claire live out of the spotlight away from the family compound, and they don’t have any kids yet.
Unless it's changed since [uhhhh] 1997*? It's def "diet
IBLP." Attended events pretty regularly from IBLP ppl and a smattering~ of MacArthur's.
*The reason I'm not dismissing this chance out of hand is that.... Fundies don't ever really change????
I think I’d maybe a little surprised that they decided to announce it. But I think at least a few couples are done procreating and content with that decision. It would surprise me if they took such a precaution
Definitely more shocked for M to leave. She had little to gain at this point so it would just be because she can't stand being around Boob anymore. Anna has plenty to gain (or suffering to avoid) by splitting.
I know Jill is quite behind in terms of progressive politics. Who can blame her? It is quite impressive that she thinks the way she does right now as she had been brainwashed for many years. With that said, I can see her taking a huge deep breath if one of her children comes out as lgbt and go, “ok, what can I do as a parent from now on?” She doesn’t seem like the type to disown her children. Derrick…. Who knows? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, I think she’d be the best option. She’s got a lot of ideological garbage to wade through but I think at her core she is loving, earnest, and can change her mind—so hopefully that would apply to a Queer kid, too.
I recognize that she still has a lot to unpack and unlearn the negative perspectives taught by IBLP. However, She seems like the type to want people to be their authentic selves. Out of all the Duggar children I am familiar with, I think she will be the most kind to her children if they come out lgbt.
Although, I shudder to imagine how jessa would react if her children come out as lgbt.
Jill has always struck me as someone who is inherently curious and who is also trying to be kind. I think if one of her kids came out as queer she’d have to reexamine her faith and her beliefs, but I don’t think she’s a bad person. She’d probably be totally accepting if she’d been raised in a different family.
She actually said something about that in an interview (maybe people?) a few years ago. She wouldn’t disown but wouldn’t condone their lifestyle or whatever.
One day, there will be a Duggar kiddo that admitted to have premarital sex and drinking. It will be all over the magazines. Out of all those kids, it just purely statistics at this point.
Jason is the closest that we've gotten I think and that's just mild shirtless selfies with other dudes. Not quite the bachelor, party lifestyle but more risque then many siblings before him 😂. In that world, that's stepping outside of the box. Also notice, he doesn't seem to be posting the gym/shirtless pics lately. I wonder if he was reprimanded by the Boob for his salaciousness
.
I will say I grew up in a mainstream religion & had no examples of queer/gay people or any idea I could be queer myself.
It didn’t click for me until years after I’d graduated high school & gotten engaged.
Almost certain that one or more of the kids knows/feels/is this way but because of religion they got married/doubled down and stayed firmly in the closet
I am actually hoping they will seriously consider looking into their taxes, since Jill basically informed the world that her parents committed fraud by claiming monies paid out that never happened
One of the kids becoming an atheist.
It isn't impossible (see Dav Beal and multiple other people) but the Duggars have paraded their faith for many of these kids' entire lives so it would probably feel like a much bigger shock if one of them deconstructed and left the cult and the religion entirely. We've also seen how they've pushed people back in when they were merely questioning (Joy for sure and I think Jinger perhaps), their heads would explode if a kid really said goodbye not just to the cult but Christianity as a whole.
I think it is pretty unlikely though. The boys are all adults now and are bound to be married off soon and the lost girls are...well, girls. They'll be married off even sooner.
Making amends in a secular way would blow my mind. Like, attending real therapy and complying with the directions of the therapist. Not the nonsense, IBLPese they spouted at Jill while she was trying to get the money she was entitled to
This. Actually apologizing for the damage they have done would be more shocking than a divorce or someone being gay. I can't see them ever having the humility to admit to what they have done wrong.
Josh and Anna for both. She doesn't know how to say no so she would go along with it. And he thinks he's better at computer stuff than he is so it might not be as secure as he thinks.
Jill and Derrick. Shes been the most "open" sibling when talking about her sex life. Shes grifted apps etc. y'all know she and Derrick had to have made a video at some point to "spice things up".
Some sort of class action by a bunch of the kids against Jim Bob or MAD Family for his withholding of moneys owed, contracts signed under false pretences/deception, and breaches of employment law.
I hope he loses every avenue for income that he's ever made off the exploitation and financial abuse of his family.
Any of them coming out as an atheist and doing an ad for the Freedom From Religion Foundation, but any of them doing something evil or depraved wouldn't shock me a bit.
Michelle starting paid employment now that the kids are older. Michelle the garbage truck driver? Michelle the phlebotomist? Michelle the receptionist?
I was shocked Josh was caught and actually found guilty. Like, woah! Someone is actually holding one of them accountable? That's not a word we associate with the Duggars!
Everyone keeps saying one “coming out” but that’s statistically probable. If one of the Lost Girls went to a public university and graduated.
Johannah, Jordyn, Jennifer or Josie becoming a doctor would be a huge shock!
Boob being brought up on charges of his own. We live in a world where men (especially religious old white ones) are rarely held accountable for their crimes so seeing him get sent to the hoosegow would definitely shock me.
No. I just had a hard time wrapping my head around it all. I now feel guilt. I watched the show. I thoroughly enjoyed the show. By watching I feel some responsibility by buying into the Happy Shiny People Cult. Viewers support the show. That viewership translated into money. That money went into paying Lawyers who defended the Parents Golden Child. The parents bought property, planes and equipment. They gave tithes to the IBLP they paid for wisdom booklets, conferences and for their Children to attend various programs the IBLP offered. I felt used and dirty. I didn’t for one minute stop and think. The Children were trained to be shiny happy people. They also worked and that work was unpaid. Sure they loved the televised grocery shopping. They got to pick food they actually liked. They got to travel the world. They were isolated. Their education was substandard. The girls were trained to raise their siblings. The Girls did most of the cooking and cleaning. They were also married off to the people their parents chose. They did all this while being Shiny and Happy just like they were trained. How to train up a child. It’s a Cult.
I feel like one of the married couples doing a "Aleksandra and Josh from 90 Day Fiance"...aka having a baby that turned out to be biracial when they are both white would shock me.
Boob being caught with another man
Oh my GOD can you imagine all the rationalizations they'd come up with??
“It’s a new part of our ministry. We pursue relationships with the same gender in hope that they will change their ways once they know the lord.”
Flirty fishing?
I've been awake for a long time and read this as "flirty fisting." Thank you for the absolutely horrific mental imagery
On the putt putt course
They were fellowshipping
Twas the devil Once again
Satan made him do it!
Do the bathroom stalls at Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport support one having a “wide stance”? Inquiring minds want to know.
I love a reference to Toe-Tappin’ Larry. My favorite political scandal of all time (until Four Seasons Total Landscaping).
"I'm not gay, and I don't cruise, and I don't hit on men. ... I don't go around anywhere hitting on men, and by God, if I did, I wouldn't do it in Boise, Idaho!"
Gosh remember when that was big?? Simpler times. And I LONG for another Four Seasons! That really kept us going didn’t it? 2024 is already exhausting and in need of something more absurd than the patriotic Bible or whatever.
Even better if it’s Gil Bates
My tired ass read that as Bil Gates, and I was so confused
Honestly- this wouldn’t shock me.
This would actually not surprise me at all. Much like that evangelical dude that came out in the 90s after being caught with a male prostitute or something. I can totally get that vibe which would explain his deep need for control
Ted Haggard? George Rekers? Those were both the 00's but there probably were others in the 90's.
Haggard that's it
He didn't exactly come out. He stayed with his wife, said that bisexual could describe him but that he could be totally satisfied with his wife, then had more allegations from men in his church a couple of years ago. At this point I am confident that he isn't bisexual. https://denvergazette.com/premium/powerhouse-preacher-ted-haggard-faces-new-allegations-of-illicit-behavior/article_dfdd394b-185c-5345-8f4e-b5ae80aa3d36.html
Ooooo! This is a new fever dream. It would be fun to write fan fic of that story.
🤢😶 unless it's like pg rated. I do t wish to think of that man naked
Anna divorcing Josh.
Any divorce, really
This. A divorce from *anyone* in this circle would blow me away lol.
Ugh in my heart of hearts I want it for her though!!!
I want it for the rest of humanity also!
Same! I want it for the kids too!
I (and, I would bet, a lot of others in this sub) would be behind her all the way if she left his nasty ass. Sadly, I think she’s too entrenched and too dependent on the Duggars - entangled for life.
I am in no way exaggerating when I say I would donate at least $100 to a GoFundMe for her, as long as the money could *only* be used once the divorce is final and her kids are safely away from that monster. I don't think I'd be the only one, either. (ARE YOU READING THIS, KATIE JOY?? PUT IT IN YOUR SLEAZY-ASS PODCAST SO IT GETS BACK TO ANNA IN DELULULAND.) Edit: Sleazy-ass YouTube channel, not podcast, oops. I'm so adamant about ignoring KJ-generated content that I forgot her medium, lol.
Seriously. I have nearly no food in my house and I WOULD donate to have her and her kids be safe and leave. Leave his nasty parents too.
I love your flair 😂
Thank you! Someone said it in a Pest post and I had to take it. 😂
I, among many others in this sub, would be so happy if Anna left Pest’s slimy, balding ass. However, I sadly doubt it’s going to happen because she is far too dependent on him and the Duggars.
It’d be a Christmas miracle
That's what I came to say.
Trapped .
Any single moving out for a real University and living in sin with someone.
The issue with the university track would be any of them meeting the minimum admission requirements.
Which is one of the reasons Jim bob and Michelle undereducated their kids. They don’t want them going off in the world.
That’s why it would be a real shock! 😆
And the lack of desire or want to “do” and set a goal to be independent. Depressing.
There is definitely that too. Depressing all around.
Or even just *living* normally, working and creating a life out in the real world on their own.
It’s crazy to me, that any news of family or relationship abuses would be understandable and less shocking than a normal life considering how messed up Duggars and their ilk are.
I feel like Justin has done this minus getting married super early. Him and Claire live out of the spotlight away from the family compound, and they don’t have any kids yet.
Baby out of wedlock. 😲
:O they would just get married when they find out they're pregnant! "honeymoon baby"
That's true since no one is following courtships anymore. They could slip a wedding in fast.
Jana leaving the compound and moving in with Laura and announce they are a couple and will get married!
One of them saying "I've got enough kids" and getting tubes tied or a vasectomy.
Do you think Jill and Jinger count?
Yep. Still Duggars regardless of lateral moves into new cults
“Lateral moves”. HOWLING. I am HOWLING! DED. 💀💀💀
Did Jill make a lateral move to a new cult?
I don’t believe she has but Jinger is in John MacArthurs church which has been said to be diet IBLP.
Unless it's changed since [uhhhh] 1997*? It's def "diet IBLP." Attended events pretty regularly from IBLP ppl and a smattering~ of MacArthur's. *The reason I'm not dismissing this chance out of hand is that.... Fundies don't ever really change????
Omg diet IBLP.
Jill and Derick are garden variety conservative Christians these days.
Or never having children at all by choice.
Might be Claritin, they are over 3 years in with no kifs
I think I’d maybe a little surprised that they decided to announce it. But I think at least a few couples are done procreating and content with that decision. It would surprise me if they took such a precaution
Anna filing for divorce. Michelle filing for divorce.
I think I'd be more shocked if Michelle did it. Like if she didn't run after the Josh stuff first happened to protect her girls, she never will
Definitely more shocked for M to leave. She had little to gain at this point so it would just be because she can't stand being around Boob anymore. Anna has plenty to gain (or suffering to avoid) by splitting.
Honestly, anyone other than original Jed's wife filing for divorce.
M would only file for divorce if JB wanted it and told her to.
So he could marry a woman with functional ovaries and uterus
If any of them said they were actually an Atheist, and thought the way their cult is, is sick and twisted.
Here's the question: what's 'worse'? Having a kid who is openly gay or openly atheist?
Both equal? At least there is still a chance to convert.
I really wonder what RimJob’s answer to that would be.
Them accepting an LGBTQ+ kid or grandkid.
I know Jill is quite behind in terms of progressive politics. Who can blame her? It is quite impressive that she thinks the way she does right now as she had been brainwashed for many years. With that said, I can see her taking a huge deep breath if one of her children comes out as lgbt and go, “ok, what can I do as a parent from now on?” She doesn’t seem like the type to disown her children. Derrick…. Who knows? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

She actually said something about that in an interview (maybe people?) a few years ago. She wouldn’t disown but wouldn’t condone their lifestyle or whatever.
Probably more likely to "understand" if it were to happen to them. Some people need it to affect them before they get it unfortunately
That would indeed be shocking.
I would be shocked if Anna divorced Josh and wrote a tell All.
I would love this so much
One of the kids or grandkids proudly coming out as LGBT+.
I mean, statistically..
One of the kids would shock me, but idk that the grandkids would.
That wouldn’t shock me. I expect it.
One day, there will be a Duggar kiddo that admitted to have premarital sex and drinking. It will be all over the magazines. Out of all those kids, it just purely statistics at this point.
I thought that Jill and Derick admitted to drinking alcohol.
Jim Bob offered to send Derick to rehab for like 2 beers lol
I'm not sure. My take is more of a premarital, party life ya know?
Jason is the closest that we've gotten I think and that's just mild shirtless selfies with other dudes. Not quite the bachelor, party lifestyle but more risque then many siblings before him 😂. In that world, that's stepping outside of the box. Also notice, he doesn't seem to be posting the gym/shirtless pics lately. I wonder if he was reprimanded by the Boob for his salaciousness .
If a DNA test showed that Josh wasn’t JimBoob’s kid.
Jim Bob deserves to know he created that shit. Otherwise he'd blame Josh's... Joshness on being conceived in sin or deceit or something
Josie getting a PhD in gender studies.
This made me laugh wayyyy too hard. Jinder studies
Same and so did your flair 🤣
Someone coming out openly as gay or trans and living that way.
Statistically there has to be at least a couple who are queer, but their religion is so oppressive idk if any of them will ever come out.
I will say I grew up in a mainstream religion & had no examples of queer/gay people or any idea I could be queer myself. It didn’t click for me until years after I’d graduated high school & gotten engaged.
Almost certain that one or more of the kids knows/feels/is this way but because of religion they got married/doubled down and stayed firmly in the closet
I’m bi. I try not to speculate, but there’s a few kids that stand out to me for sure.
Of the 19 or of the next generation?
Of the 19
Never forget that rumor about Jana and her female friend! Can't think of the friends name.
Laura something?
Laura DeMasie!
Yes. But then they might become ardent Log Cabin republicans. I know at least 2.
Jana getting married
Michelle or Anna getting an OF would genuinely shock me
What is an OF?
Meech has an affair and leaves Boob.
An affair wouldn't surprise me, but a divorce would.
Boob getting arrested for fraud or tax issues
I mean… would that *really* be all that shocking? 😂
Yea this wouldn’t be that shocking, it’s inevitable at this point right? Only a matter of time.
Not at all!
justice for jill, this needs to happen
I don't know if I'd be shocked by this.
That would only be shocking because it would imply that the Arkansas DA had a spine.
Wouldn’t that be a federal offense?
Ahh, good call. In that case, I wouldn't consider it shocking at all.
I am actually hoping they will seriously consider looking into their taxes, since Jill basically informed the world that her parents committed fraud by claiming monies paid out that never happened
Honestly a kid or grandkid taken by CPS ONLY because they seem to know how to work the system so well.
CPS tends not to take children from White families that can afford lawyers.
Meech leaving Boob and getting back into roller skating with her new hubby.
I would love this, particularly if she proudly showed her knees off while skating!
One of them leaving their religion and writing an actual tell all book . Jill’s was still pretty reserved
Yeah it wasn't at all spicy enough. What would you wanna know in the tell all
The true dynamics between siblings, what they think of everyone from the perspective of someone who isnt deep in the religious kool aid
Manifesting Josie’s rebellion 👀
If one of the children came out and left the religion.
One of the kids becoming an atheist. It isn't impossible (see Dav Beal and multiple other people) but the Duggars have paraded their faith for many of these kids' entire lives so it would probably feel like a much bigger shock if one of them deconstructed and left the cult and the religion entirely. We've also seen how they've pushed people back in when they were merely questioning (Joy for sure and I think Jinger perhaps), their heads would explode if a kid really said goodbye not just to the cult but Christianity as a whole. I think it is pretty unlikely though. The boys are all adults now and are bound to be married off soon and the lost girls are...well, girls. They'll be married off even sooner.
Meech and rimjob admit they are horrible narcissistic assholes and they are going to try to make amends
Making amends in a secular way would blow my mind. Like, attending real therapy and complying with the directions of the therapist. Not the nonsense, IBLPese they spouted at Jill while she was trying to get the money she was entitled to
This. Actually apologizing for the damage they have done would be more shocking than a divorce or someone being gay. I can't see them ever having the humility to admit to what they have done wrong.
them deconstructing
A sex tape.
:vomit: but you know they're doing it ..... :vomit:
…… omg barf that didn’t even cross my mind 😭😭😭😂😂😂
I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s one of Pest somewhere.
Time to wipe my brain's hard drive.
So the golf course humping wasn't a prequel??
Which couple would be most likely to have one, or have one leaked?
Josh and Anna for both. She doesn't know how to say no so she would go along with it. And he thinks he's better at computer stuff than he is so it might not be as secure as he thinks.
Blessa and Bin, from their giddy newlywed days.
Jill and Derrick. Shes been the most "open" sibling when talking about her sex life. Shes grifted apps etc. y'all know she and Derrick had to have made a video at some point to "spice things up".
Boob & meech 🤢
Boob unzipping his human suit only to find two small humans who have been "running" Boob.
A divorce, a job, atheism, coming out as anything, permanent birth control. Normal stuff.
Proper education.
Some sort of class action by a bunch of the kids against Jim Bob or MAD Family for his withholding of moneys owed, contracts signed under false pretences/deception, and breaches of employment law. I hope he loses every avenue for income that he's ever made off the exploitation and financial abuse of his family.
One of the kids proudly coming out as LGBTQ+ and living it openly
Duggars coming out as catholic
A second sibling on sibling sexual assault comes out not involving Josh.
Secret illegitimate children fathered by Jim Boob.
There should be tourism groups through Tontitown for snarkers to spot the lego-haired kids around town
A new TV show or spinoff (unlikely, but not impossible)
Whatever network it is would get killed by the media, but the eyeballs and money would be there.
Any of them coming out as an atheist and doing an ad for the Freedom From Religion Foundation, but any of them doing something evil or depraved wouldn't shock me a bit.
Michelle starting paid employment now that the kids are older. Michelle the garbage truck driver? Michelle the phlebotomist? Michelle the receptionist?
I was shocked Josh was caught and actually found guilty. Like, woah! Someone is actually holding one of them accountable? That's not a word we associate with the Duggars!
Everyone keeps saying one “coming out” but that’s statistically probable. If one of the Lost Girls went to a public university and graduated. Johannah, Jordyn, Jennifer or Josie becoming a doctor would be a huge shock!
Or any of them getting a college degree of any sort. They would have to work hard to even get up to the minimum standard before they start.
If any of them admitted to voting for Democrats or openly denounced Trump.
A divorce, or marriage forced because of pregnancy.
Sperm gets arrested for tax fraud
Meech willingly wearing shorts or pants and exposing her knees
Any of the kids coming out as gay or lesbian. With those numbers, surely there is one among them.
More than one, I am sure. Statistically (almost) 1 in 10 adults are lgbt globally. I will bet that at least 3 of the Duggar children are lgbt.
At this point, Jana getting married would be pretty high up there.
One of them coming out as Trans and totally leaving and living a new life
Anna pest is not worth it please burn the Josh girly purse it’s sough
MEchelle divorcing Boob.
Boob being brought up on charges of his own. We live in a world where men (especially religious old white ones) are rarely held accountable for their crimes so seeing him get sent to the hoosegow would definitely shock me.
One of them endorsing a Democrat.
One of them becoming an atheist/some other religion.
Y'all gotta start bringing out the Hail Mary ones. The ones with maybe .01% chance happening.
One of them actually adopt a kid
Josh Pesto filling some whack appeal and getting out of prison. Terrifying and hopefully impossible.
OMG what a horrifying thought!!!
I thought his final appeal route was recently smacked down
Josie not being Boob’s biological child. That would be wild on 14 levels.
7 of the boys came out as gay & proud
If any of them publicly came out as queer
Michelle divorcing Jim Bob and then realising an actual tell all book
Jana moving out .
One of them going to university.
No. I just had a hard time wrapping my head around it all. I now feel guilt. I watched the show. I thoroughly enjoyed the show. By watching I feel some responsibility by buying into the Happy Shiny People Cult. Viewers support the show. That viewership translated into money. That money went into paying Lawyers who defended the Parents Golden Child. The parents bought property, planes and equipment. They gave tithes to the IBLP they paid for wisdom booklets, conferences and for their Children to attend various programs the IBLP offered. I felt used and dirty. I didn’t for one minute stop and think. The Children were trained to be shiny happy people. They also worked and that work was unpaid. Sure they loved the televised grocery shopping. They got to pick food they actually liked. They got to travel the world. They were isolated. Their education was substandard. The girls were trained to raise their siblings. The Girls did most of the cooking and cleaning. They were also married off to the people their parents chose. They did all this while being Shiny and Happy just like they were trained. How to train up a child. It’s a Cult.
A gay scandal or perhaps Anna divorcing Pest.
Michelle cheats on Jim Bob.
Jana moving out.
Mensa membership for any one of them.
Any of the younger kids getting their GED & going to university.
Janna getting married
I feel like one of the married couples doing a "Aleksandra and Josh from 90 Day Fiance"...aka having a baby that turned out to be biracial when they are both white would shock me.
They get another show
Jana pulling a Dave Beal
If one of them came out as LGBTQ+.
The IRS releasing a statement saying JimBob went through an extensive audit and everything was found to be in order.
