I know I keep stanning the prosecutors, but dude.
The prosecution team couldn’t be more perfect. First you have Carly Marshall, then there was a gay prosecutor. The one in the glasses, Bill Clayman. I swear to god it was perfect.

You don't think Jill Rodrigues is too keen on Josh? Tell me more! I had my suspicions too but it's something I don't see discussed a lot! Anyone in their right mind should dislike him, of course, but some fundies have such a loyalty to the Duggars that they're willing to "ignore" Josh.
I don't know either way tbh they've never talked about it, which honestly to me sends the opposite message. Jill isn't afraid to post about 'controversial' topics usually, so her silence there seems suspicious. I just meant even IF they weren't fans of his, they'd still be Duggar ass kissers, which is like the last kind of person you mentioned.
My guess based on nothing besides who they are is that they tow the "josh was framed" line, or whatever it is Michelle and JB believe.

The Holts (Jim and Bobye) just posted to IG about Josh's prison transfer. Amy is making herself known in the comments.
Bobye Holt doesn't say anything one way or the other about Josh, but I'm still surprised she's putting it on her IG. She's very matter-of-fact about it.
The comments are a trip, though.

Shiny Happy People Thoughts: Episode 2
TW: The Duggar Family
- This episode begins on Josh's crimes and abuse as well as his family's attempts to cover it up
- I thought the documentary would focus more on them, but it's actually going more into how these environments foster so much abuse, which is honestly great but also a lot harder to watch
- Like it's one thing to point at them and say "This is where it could lead" but it's another to say "This is the environmental set-up. It was widespread and you may have grown up with it. Here are some of those factors you may know"
- It's weird to watch a family like the Duggars and go "oh most people think this is weird" like I was never homeschooled but I didn't need to be. We were actively taught that public school would teach you these specific worldly things so ignore those and listen to us instead
- We "had church" at home during birthday parties and holiday dinners or whatever where they sat all us kids down and insisted on teaching us these things
- Older women in the family would tell testimony after testimony about how happy they were being under their husband's protection even if that meant having sex when they were exhausted, not in the mood, and sick
- Men complained about abuse being exposed on the news because they felt like an abused wife should handle it privately at home
- I honestly can't imagine where I'd be if I was homeschooled on top of everything
- I do agree that the insistence on homeschooling only is more of a white evangelical thing. After such a fight to even have the right to get into and finish public school, I think in black evangelical communities it was seen more as a blessing to be able to go to public schools, especially if you convinced your friends to go to church with you
- The 2nd to last church we went to even bribed us into it. They gave us a dollar if we brought our own paper bibles and we had a sticker chart or something if you brought friends we'd eventually get a celebration
- There was also this fear that if you didn't assimilate into white evangelical culture in the South, then you'd end up on the streets doing illegal shit and going to jail or whatever. It's very victim blaming. There was a mix of understanding systemic racism in the U.S while also saying Black people are at fault for not just staying married and spanking their children to prevent them from being "fast"
- Like sure my own parents are older than the Voting Rights Act, but somehow "welfare queens" are the issue. Black communities are very quickly assimilating into the individualist white evangelical mindset of be good and god will bless you individually
- Spare the Kids: Why Whupping Children Won't Save Black America goes into that a lot. People have mixed feelings about it but I related a lot to it
- Black kids in these spheres were seen more as a risk if not raised this way essentially. Don't hang out with so and so's kids they don't go to church, spank their kids or insist on parentifying their older kids and that's how you end up smoking crack or something
- I honestly had to pause during the section about hair. That's a major trigger for me.
- It was such a confusing balance because I was told I need my hair done well because it needed to glorify god and honor my father, but it also couldn't be too beautiful because then I was being vain/causing lust but also my grandfather would tell me he liked me better when my hair was a certain way but also I should focus on what god wanted, not what he wanted but also
- And it was even more difficult with my coils and curls. I relaxed my hair from ages 5 to 15 and it legitimately took years for my hair to recover from it. It was a difficult transition because my grandfather insisted that I was much prettier and more godly to him when my hair was long and relaxed and he even talked about how unattractive my grandmother is between hair styles when her natural hair is out to convince me to start relaxing and stop cutting my hair again
- The insistence on framing your face correctly was wild. I had this unhealthy bob for years because it "framed my face well" like no my hair was one bad summer day from being fried to death and falling out (and sometimes it really did fall out)
- "Instead of learning math, you're leaning slut shaming"
"Don't think about your sisters' boobs. What are you gonna do? Think about your sisters' boobs."
- Unrelated but Bill Gothard looks like a deepfake in every video of him
- They've come back to the effects of parentification. My dad got the worst of it as the oldest of 6. I was parentified but not as much as he was
- "I had to break his will" another hard trigger
- I was told at 11/12ish that I was allowed to spank my younger stepcousins when I was babysitting them. I hate to admit that I did once when the youngest slid down the stair railing she was told not to slide down and I felt so guilty I never did it again. I shouldn't have been told to spank her and I also shouldn't have been put in this situation that young. That was around the time I first developed intrusive thoughts about my family dying so at the time I legitimately thought it was the only way to keep her safe from falling to her death
- "You were spanked until you stopped crying, which could be hours" for me it was "now stop all that crying before I really give you something to cry about" which all seems counterintuitive
- Took another break because of To Train Up Child. Did not have the book growing up, but definitely recognize a lot of the ideas from it. I've talked about it before on this blog
- Its difficult to get through but I also feel such a weight off my shoulders. Like it's one thing to have a therapist say "you're not a bad kid, you were raised in bad circumstances" but it's another to have a docuseries say it. It's another thing to see others have this same uncomfortable bodily reaction. Nervous laughter, moving around, fidgeting, etc.
- "You know, a little psychological terror is sometimes more effective than the pain" I was much more terrified of the threat of being spanked than actually being spanked. I hated the feeling of "I disappointed you enough that you have to plan to hit me later"
- My dad says he remembered spanking me a couple times when I was like 2 and never again. He felt like positive reinforcement and explaining why doing something bad was wrong was more efficient for me cause I liked being helpful, I was just super independent and easily overwhelmed. There's a reason he's the only family member I honestly care to keep contact with
- "Michael and Debi Pearl are some motherfuckers" SAY IT AGAIN LOUDER
- Amy Duggar crying about the "rod of encouragement" made me also tear up. I'm working on the guilt of not being able to change the rest of my family's mind and save my younger family members.
- This episode is harder than the first but it's honestly what I needed right now. I needed a third party to say "you survived the best you could. you're still trying. you can't save everyone, especially if you aren't fully free yourself yet"
- There's stuff I didn't even think of as traumatizing that I realize still controls so much of my actions. This is so good and I highly recommend it so far if you think you can handle it.
- I wasn't blanket trained. My biological parents loved my independence. They loved how much I liked being helpful independently and they never wanted to break that spirit.
- My dad even raised me to focus on education and be able to support myself before I ever got married. I never had a conversation with him about relationships since he felt awkward about it he much preferred I learned from women in the family/church. They taught me purity culture.
- "If a man says he wants you, then he's god's man for you and you have to learn how to adjust your feelings and thoughts around that." This is how my grandparents and uncles saw things. They insisted this was romantic and good. I did a survey of my high school to see if anyone else thought that way and only like 3 out of the 50-60 people I asked did. When I pointed that out to my uncle he said it's because my school was full of sheltered nerds.
- My dad was horrified by all of it. I honestly think watching this documentary could make him deconstruct more than he already has. He's still a christian, but a progressive one. He's still growing each day
- Had a lot of feelings about this one. I think this one hit the hardest cause it essentially explains how these circles groom people, especially young girls.

Hey y’all! Sorry for the inactivity as of late.
I’m leaving my teen years behind me and entering my 20s in just 10 days. I’ve been so frustrated with myself for the longest time because I haven’t “achieved” anything since I graduated high school. That’s changing now. I began taking antidepressants in December, as well as seeing a therapist in January. I chose to drop out of college in February in order to get my life in some semblance of order. I’ve finally narrowed my passions down to A. Attending technical college to get my LPN degree and B. Going back to community college for my ECE degree in order to work at a daycare. I applied for nursing school yesterday. I’ve also been working on getting my driver’s license and taking care of my physical health. I’m anxious yet excited for what my future holds.
I’m going to try to be more involved with the fundblr community from now on. I love y’all, and I’m happy to be back 😊

Jill and Jed were listed as possible witnesses at the trial for the prosecution. Caleb Williams was also included in this list, which shocks me a little because he was jailed for sex offenses.
Also, apparently a juror was dismissed because his daughter married to a Duggar son.

after the Ashley Madison scandal Anna said that she made her wedding vows to God first and to Josh second. That she is meant, as his wife, to love Josh with the same passion and devotion that God has shown to her. If this belief hasn’t changed I cannot imagine Anna ever seeking divorce.
not divorcing Josh doesn’t signal ignorance to his crimes. I don’t think anyone could ever concisely and accurately describe the complexity of what Anna is facing. As desperately as Reddit wants a black and white world, we’re not in one.
my hope is that Anna allows herself to be angry, to be hurt, to grieve, to process without worries of “keeping sweet”. I hope that she appropriately educates her kids on the situation and allows them their emotional reactions. I would also hope that she comes to understand and disown the culture that has allowed this series of events, but that’s a big hope.

Sorry if this is dumb, but where will he actually be ‘detained?’ Is it for the whole period before sentencing?
Tumblr media
As we speak, he's in the Washington County Jail. He was booked at 12:07 PM CST. See his updated mug shot, above. (He seems oddly chipper, doesn't he?)
The Washington County Jail is a local (non–federal) facility, located at 1155 W. Clydesdale Dr., Fayetteville, Washington County, AR. It's an ~14 Mile / ~20 Minute drive from the Duggar Compound.
Josh might be transferred to a federal facility, as some point. As a federal prisoner, he could technically be incarcerated at any BOP (Federal Bureau of Prisons) facility—i.e., not necessarily in Arkansas—or, in any local jail that has a contract with the BOP. Inmates tend to be held close to where they're convicted, though, so he probably will remain in Arkansas. (And might even remain in the Washington County Jail, if they have a federal contract. Not sure about that.)
There is only one BOP prison in Arkansas—the Federal Correctional Institute, Forrest City. It's technically three prisons—one that's low security, one medium security, and a 'lowest' security prison camp. It's located ~250 Miles / ~4 Hours from the Duggar Compound.
Edit, 2:00 PM CST:  Apparently, there’s a blanket rule that sex offenders won’t be housed at ‘prison camp’ facilities.  So, if Josh is housed at a BOP facility in Arkansas, it would have to be either the low– or medium–security one.

Anyone else remember when Jessa was named “sexiest Duggar alive” by people(?) mag and then J*sh got all butthurt and was basically like “no everyone, the title of ‘sexiest Duggar’ definitely goes to ME”? Cringe. Cringe, cringe, cringe.
Thank god for reddit because no, I absolutely did not remember that lol and couldn't find anything on Google except for a few reddit posts.
And ok, I just gotta talk about how incredibly fucking weird it is to me that People did this in the first place I mean look at this cover:
Tumblr media
This is an article about Ben and Jessa getting married and they just randomly tack on this picture of them kissing captioned "Sexiest Duggar Alive" like.......what the fuck. It's so random and feels borderline inappropriate considering how concerned Jessa is about modesty (plus that pic is not particularly sexy?).
I think People's decision to do this is weirder than Josh's response tbh. He was asked about it straight up in an interview (before all of his scandals dropped) which I also find strange and I mean, what else do you say when someone basically asks you if you agree that your sister is sexy........I feel like deflecting and making a joke is the only rational response to that very uncomfortable question. Idk. The whole thing just feels clickbait-y and uncomfy.

Shiny Happy People Thoughts: Episode 4
TW: The Duggar Family and their crimes
- All gang here we go again
- To recap, we left off on the discovery of Josh Duggar's business hard drive with CSAM on it and the affects of anti-sex and strict enforcement of hierarchies
- The episode starts with the phone call about the investigation and the discovery of CSAM linked to Josh Duggar's business IP address
- This episode is known for being the hardest to get through so be warned if you decide to also watch
- They use the term "child pornography" but I will be using the terms CSAM or child sexual abuse material
- Jen of Fundie Fridays described the Snark community's look into the investigation
- Fucking Covenant Eyes
- I think I talked about it before, but it's an anti-pornography and accountability software program where your porn use is sent to a trusted program partner
- There's a lot of talk about having to be happy at all times, which was also enforced in my households. My dad never enforce it, but other family members would insist on me smiling or they'd make me smile (meant as a threat)
- Theres also clips of Josh and Anna's courtship and how they weren't even allowed to kiss before marriage
- Bobye, Jill, and all of the other victims are incredibly brave for speaking up both during the trial and now in this docuseries
- Jim Bob ran for senate in Arkansas during said trial, which is fucking wild. I knew he did, but I didn't realize it was during the trial. They genuinely believe the issue is Josh was caught and arrested rather than the fact that Josh did these horrible crimes
- There's a firm belief in individualism and handling issues at home so they don't have to acknowledge the greater patterns of abuse in these circles else they make their christianity look bad
- It explains the "Culture War" and what's essentially meant to be a new version of the crusade. Even in my small town black churches we sang song after song about being soldiers in the army of Christ and being willing to die for him
- The greater "Culture War" is for white, cishet evangelicals. My family might follow the exact same principles, but they would never be accepted by these groups in the same way because we're black
- A lot of black people hold the fear though that if they stop following these groups/mindsets, their children will be the next victims, rather than the black kid that got overlooked. There's no positive outcome, just a fear of the worst negative
- This is why there's been an attack on education as a whole, especially in places like Florida. They started with homeschooling, grew up and graduated, then became politicians and leaders and lawyers that could make public school just like their homeschooling or gut it so much that anyone not in these groups or people that can't homeschool their kids lose significant power and educational opportunities
- I was never homeschooled, but I was told by my churches that school will teach us things like evolution that we should ignore. The pastor and his wife at one church homeschooled their kids and advocated for it
- They are specifically referring to white, homeschooled, IBLP-trained evangelicals but this shit influenced the entire christian culture of the bible belt in the US
- There's a reason these people are gun-carrying, anti-choice conservatives and why they're making up lies and attacking schools for being "leftist indoctrination camps"
- Its all a fear tactic. I even got this talk when I was in high school and planning for college. We were told to keep close contact with the church and to not even join other christian groups your parents don't know in case they teach the "corrupted" versions of christianity
- Its Madison Cawthorn. It's Matt Walsh. It's the current Supreme Court. It's Donald Trump. It's all of these people that plan to take away autonomy from people so they can enforce this christian hierarchy throughout the world
- I'm at the Paul and Morgan part of the docuseries. Their interview was about their marriage and the role of the wife. They say it's a choice to submit to their husbands, though they feel like christian women always should
- The editing was incredible in this part. It goes from them talking about the role of the wife and being a light in the world to the jump cut of Morgan screaming about how it's impossible to "be a they/them"
- This part is what is making Paul and Morgan pitch a fit because they feel like it made christianity look bad, but all they did was edit in their own words from their YouTube channel
- "This is the Joshua Generation" gave me chills
- Its Girl Defined and the Rodrigues family and tiktok influencers and so on and so forth and all of them are white evangelicals who are trying to enforce this strict hierarchy and claiming it's the only way to save people
- Its why people say be careful when looking into cottagecore and tradcore and the "soft life" movement because a lot of it is ran by evangelicals trying to make strict hierarchies look trendy
- Its incredible to be a stay at home mom and traditional housewife, but only if it's your choice. All of the insistence that feminism is "destroying motherhood" and whatnot is all a ploy to take more women's autonomy. It's why feminism advocates for things like maternal leave, universal basic income with benefits for parents and children, universal daycare, universal healthcare especially for birthing parents. All of it should be a choice you can make for yourself
- The insistence on a family of a Working Father, a Housewife, and 2 or 20 kids was spread by a cult leader who never even had a wife or kids. Gothard sexually abused multiple minors during his time as an IBLP leader
- Josh Duggar was of course found guilty.
- It hurts knowing that his victims were expected to forgive him and let him back into their lives
- A lot of the family and friends are completely shut out of the picture now for advocating for Josh's arrest
- Amy Duggar reading from IBLP hurt, especially with the cut to Anna Duggar, Josh's wife
- They talk about why she still advocates for him and stays with him. She doesn't have a way to leave since this is all she was raised for. Find a nice, godly man and have his babies. No proper education. No source of stable income for herself. No privacy
- That goes double for her as the wife of a well-known person. She will never get privacy because she only sees herself as property of god, Josh, and the TV contracts Josh signed for her and unless she gets serious therapy and a safe, long term environment where someone takes care of her, thats all she'll ever see herself as
- My therapist pointed out to me today that whenever I burp, I completely change as a person for a split second. Despite all the work I've done and my transition as a transmasculine person, I still attempt to hide my burps, cover my mouth, completely straighten up, say excuse me very articulately, and even raise the pitch of my voice
- I know that seems like a weird tangent but it's an example of how even the smallest of things gets trained into you. Burping wasn't feminine so I got called a pig and a man in an insulting way when I burped loudly enough to be heard. I still burp in that polite way that makes me nauseous so I won't be heard unless I'm completely alone
- You can't just leave these cults. It comes with you. It stays with you even in these little habits and I was lucky enough to get the chillest parent of the family. Anna cannot and will not leave unless she is forced, and even then she will still be stuck. She won't suddenly have 12-13 years of education. She won't have the skills to get a good paying job in the current economic landscape. She won't have people to save her. This is what cults do. This is what they want. They want her to be helpless because it's a message: Next time, don't let him get caught
- "My only hope was to cling to my faith."
- That's all she has. It's all that belonged to her. Everything else was her father's or her husband's
- Tia Levings describing the situation of getting her kids and leaving the husband that was going to get his gun was honestly the hardest story to hear
- I never experienced abuse like that, but I remember hearing over and over "well why wasn't she under her father/husband's watch" "why didn't she just leave?" "Why didn't she just trust in god?" and have this fear set in me of what if I never left? Is this where I would've been?
- Around my teen years I got very uncomfortable around most couples in my family. The husband would joke about wives submitting and the wives would snap back about how it's a choice they could take away. The husband retorts with a bible verse about how they shouldn't. They laugh it off and the tension sits in the air. They seem to hate each other, but they made a promise to god.....
- The lawsuit against IBLP and Bill Gothard and it being dropped because of the statute of limitations leaves such a helpless feeling, but I hope this documentary helps at least a bit
- "His eyes were open"
- "It was just a man the whole time."
- Brook and Emily's stories really hit. There's a sudden realization that these people are not gods. They are people that wanted power and they got it. They abused and crushed people, not because they are powerful gods of knowledge, but because they wanted to abuse
- WAS
- "I ended up in jail anyways."
- That's how it goes. I felt the need to lash out when I first got out. I didn't do well with my therapist at the time. She was a practicing christian recommend by my doctor who used to go to our church and also treated all of my family with insurance she took. She thought my family was a lil strict but couldn't quite believe me when I said it was so much more than that
- I did lash out, mostly towards myself. I'm not going to talk about my self harm in detail here. Lara talks about lashing out via shoplifting. I will say this is normal. If you feel like you need to do a 180, I won't say do anything and everything, but you might have to. I am a firm believer in harm reduction over flat out denial at all times. Sometimes it all just needs to get out. Sometimes you need to regain a sense of control
- I didn't realize until I started seeing my current therapist that I realized what I was raised in. I made jokes about my family being a cult before then, but it never actually hit until I said "Oh. I never had a childhood, did I?" and teared up for the first time in his office
- I honestly couldn't say the stuff about deconstruction better myself. It's exhausting but so so freeing. A lot of the people in the docuseries used instagram and tiktok. I use tumblr as my platform of choice.
- I honestly have to thank the religious trauma tumblr tag for getting me to where I am today. If you look at my main blog, you can even see that my first few posts are scattered with bible verses if I didn't already delete them. I hope my blog helps someone else the same way that tag helped me
- I get a lil personal here sometimes and probably should save more of it for my therapist, but I think it's helpful sometimes. I think he'd agree. My therapist knows about this blog and thinks it's good
- I've heard about Jinger's book but never read it so I can't say anything about it. I also haven't seen any of the casts' tiktok pages so I can't say anything about them either. I might look later but this episode was a lot so Ill leave it for now
- I figured Bill Gothard would decline further comments. He denied everything and will most likely never see a single punishment. It's how these things are built
- I think the final statement from Jim Bob and Michelle help really seal just how terrible both of them are. They rather side with their child who abused than the victims that spoke out because it makes them look bad that all of this got out
- Final thoughts? Great series. Very therapeutic. Very validating.
- Its the small stuff that gets you. Hair needs to frame your face and honor your father. Be a soldier for Christ. Be fruitful and multiply. I still have awkward pictures of my permed hair and scratchy easter dresses
- I also told my therapist about this show and my recaps here and he thinks it's great. I'm glad I did it. It's really motivated me and helped me see just how far I've progressed
- I'm glad I also learned Nope is on Prime cause I rarely use prime video lol I mostly use it for twitch and prime delivery on cat supplies in bulk
- Good luck all you blasphemers, apostates, heretics, and sinners out there! Be good people, commit to the bit, and love without remorse!
