Josh Duggar Admits being Hypocrite, Blames Porn Addiction

[JI7]

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3205122/I-biggest-hypocrite-Josh-Duggar-ADMITS-unfaithful-wife-revealed-37-million-Ashley-Madison-cheaters.htmlJosh Duggar has admitted being unfaithful to his wife after his name emerged among 37 million Ashley Madison users. 

In a new statement the reality star said: 'I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife.

I am so ashamed of the double life that I have been living and am grieved for the hurt, pain and disgrace my sin has caused my wife and family, and most of all Jesus and all those who profess faith in Him.

I brought hurt and a reproach to my family, close friends and the fans of our show with my actions that happened when I was 14-15 years old, and now I have re-broken their trust.

The last few years, while publicly stating I was fighting against immorality in our country, I was hiding my own personal failings.

As I am learning the hard way, we have the freedom to choose to our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. I deeply regret all hurt I have caused so many by being such a bad example.

'I humbly ask for your forgiveness. Please pray for my precious wife Anna and our family during this time.

1. 37 million users

After reading that, I can't fault Ashley for providing what is obviously a high demand service. How sad.

[NV Whino]

2. Do I see a reality show in his future?

"How iCheated on My Wife."

[Warpy]

3. Oh, there's plenty of blame to go around, Josh

and while you're beating your breast, you might as well point out you were raised in a house where your sexuality was supposed to be walled off somehow, that you were never taught any of the mechanics, none of the responsibilities that come with a sex life. Self denial was how you were supposed to live as a young teenager with normal outlets like masturbation declared sinful and shameful. It's no wonder you're screwed up sexually.

You just didn't do the whole job yourself, kid. Now your choice consists of choosing not to raise your own kids in the screwed up headspace your parents put you in.

[Gormy Cuss]

19. ^^^This^^^n/t

[mike_c]

30. yep

[herding cats]

36. Oh, his children will be raised to be as emotionally messed up as he is.

On that you can be sure. Just because he got outed for his sexual proclivities doesn't mean he's going to make the leap into understanding what's natural.

He'll attend some crazy pseudo therapy approved by their religion to deprogram him of his "sickness" and the faithful will forgive his transgression. Then things will go on as always in such repressed and unnatural societies.

At least the rest of us can feel a small level of comfort that they have lost some major influence in DC over all of this.

[tblue37]

4. He apologizes when he gets caught and exposed--and that is the only thing

he is actually sorry about.

[City Lights]

6. Exactly.

He'd still be preaching from his lofty perch had he not been outed as a child molester. His entire family needs to take a long, hard look in the mirror.

[mythology]

62. The worst part of this is, he could have admitted this at the same time

as he admitted molesting his sisters and sort of slipped that in under the radar while people focused on the worse crime.

But I guess he thought he would get away with it. Oops.

[thereismore]

5. He thinks he caused most pain to Jesus.

Jesus has no comment.

He is only sorry because he got caught. "Please pray that my wife is brainwashed enough to forgive me." Sanctimonious asshole.

[MineralMan]

10. Jebus Don't Care! Neither does anyone else.

[Glassunion]

7. Is it bad I had to look up who this guy is?

I had no clue.

[StevieM]

47. It's not bad, but it is surprising. Didn't you hear about when he admitted to molesting his sisters?

The Duggars had a reality show on TLC called 19 Kids and Counting. They don't believe in birth control.

They spent years and years telling us all how admirable they are and how they are living their lives the right way. They held themselves up as role models for all of us. Josh Duggar used to work at the Family Research Council, a right-wing DC think tank. He preached family values and lambasted LGBT people. And got paid a lot of money to do it--much more than he deserved based on his work history and educational background (home schooled, no college).

The Duggars were big supporters of Mike Huckabee, who continued to support Josh even after his crimes were exposed.

[Glassunion]

49. I stopped watching TLC about 10 years ago.

When they stopped being a "learning" channel, and became a bullshit sensationalist "reality" based channel.

[Kber]

52. Yeah me too

Once they had "Walking with Dinosaurs". Now it's Honey BooBoo or some such.

[Lyric]

8. Porn doesn't make you cheat, Duggar.

Don't blame porn for your infidelity. Blame your own corrupt "morality".

[Gormy Cuss]

17. Porn watching is cheating in his brand of Christianity

although I won't be surprised when the next revelation is that he's been having sex with people other than his wife.

[get the red out]

29. His family will probably blame "evil" society

For allowing porn to be legal for their poor Christian son to view in the first place.

[Bluenorthwest]

9. While doing this, Josh was employed by Family Research Council to organize against marriage equality

Family Research Council was an invited participant in the Vatican's November convention against marriage equality Josh's boss said the atmosphere at Francis' event was 'exhilarating'.
The hate industry is not that big, but it has wide support.

[Rex]

11. Don't feel bad Josh, you are no different than the other millions of republicans out there.

You all seem to have this problem with honesty and integrity.

[MineralMan]

12. Forgiveness Ain't Forever, Joshie.

[Johonny]

13. Why is it his reality show was unable to capture the reality of his life-I.E. why do people watch

this made up BS. Clearly reality and that stupid show were nothing like each other.

[hamsterjill]

14. He needs to seek forgiveness all right.

Privately. I'm so sick of this attention-whoring family getting just that - MORE attention.

They need to climb back under the rock from whence they came and do some serious self-evaluation of their belief system that allows them to condemn everyone else who doesn't agree with them while at the same time breaking every rule that they demand all others follow.

Hypocrites doesn't even begin to cut it any more.

[Egnever]

15. This is what bugs me about these types

Even though he recognizes he is a hypocrite. He still thinks you should live the life he preaches.
He will likely plead forgiveness and go right back to spewing the same nonsense.

They never ever admit the life they preach you live by is unworkable. It is just a small failure of their own you should still lead this life.

Screw that people are messy ,sure we should do our best to be kind to one another but beyond that the judgment and condemnation of other people's lives needs to stop

One would think at some point these tools would wake up to the fact that what they espouse is not doable or normal seeing as how they can't even pull it off themselves.

[GitRDun]

35. +1 well said n/t

[smirkymonkey]

55. Exactly!

And I would bet anything that every right-wing, self-righteous, sanctimonious, family-values type Christian is covering up the exact same thing if not worse.

[tabasco]

16. Child molester, adulterer, liar, cheat, pervert

Darling of the right-wing.

[SummerSnow]

18. next vp pick for rethugs

[PassingFair]

21. LOL...nt

[malaise]

25. He is upset that the gravy train has dried up

because he got caught. The Duggars are one sick act.

[snooper2]

27. it seems really fitting that the title of the leaked file is called 'Time's Up!'

[geek tragedy]

32. next Subway spokesperson nt

[PufPuf23]

20. This reads like satire. What a schmuck.

Please Josh Duggar go quietly away.

[yellowcanine]

22. Okay but where is the apology for all of the gay bashing????????

Nice you apologized to your family and Christians and all but what about the people your hypocritical barbs were aimed at? Until you can recognize that marriage is under threat from hypocrites like you, not same-sex marriage proponents, you still are part of the problem.

1) The Gay ‘Attack’ On Family
Duggar took to the steps of the Arkansas Capitol last year to denounce same-sex marriage as an “attack” on the family, children, “Christian values,” freedom of speech and even the U.S. economy:

2) Gays Ruining Beauty of Marriage
Citing his own marriage to a woman, Duggar said at a Virginia anti-gay rally last year[]that gay marriage doesn’t conform to the “beautiful” design of marriage but rather represents a force of anti-Christian persecution.

3) Gays Will Send Us To Jail!
At an FRC “Watchmen on the Wall” gathering earlier this year, Duggar said that the “radical agenda” behind the LGBT movement in cities like Houston, which is engaged in a battle over its nondiscrimination ordinance, is an “evil” force that “wants to put us behind bars.”

4) March for Marriage
Here’s Duggar speaking at the National Organization for Marriage’s Washington D.C. rally outside of the Supreme Court earlier this year, where he railed against “the redefinition of marriage.”

5) Won’t Somebody Please Think of the Children?
While boasting about his family’s support for a successful campaign to overturn an Arkansas city’s nondiscrimination ordinance, Duggar rejoiced that the side of “protecting the well-being of women and children in our cities” had prevailed.

31. Well, he didn't say what kind of porn

Maybe gay porn made him cheat on his wife.

or something.

[Recursion]

64. You don't get it: he really thinks he wouldn't have cheated had the country not "weakened" marriage

Yes, that's right: he and his supporters really, really think his actions are gay people's fault.

Or, not so much their "fault", really. But that he failed because society failed to uphold the standards he needed, and one symptom of that is that gay people are no longer at such fear for their lives that they have to hide their identity.

My point is that nobody who listened to his message to begin with is going to think "oh, wow, maybe I should re-think patriarchy". They're going to think "OMG even the Duggars are in danger from the erosion of values; we must fight back even harder against The Gay Agenda^(tm)".

[yellowcanine]

23. Unfortunately if his wife does dump him he will probably be a deadbeat dad.

Cheaters generally are not that great about meeting their child support obligations either.

[From The Ashes]

37. I'll be surprised if she dumps him.

If she's from the same religious background. I can see her family and Ma and Pa Duggar forcing her to accept his 'apology' and stay with him.

[yellowcanine]

40. His apology will not be the end of it though. He's not likely to stop.

The Duggers and his wife may not realize that but chances are that Josh will be out tom catting once the dust settles a bit. At some point his wife will have had enough, religion or not.

[StevieM]

41. Well she's accepted a lot already. She knew he molested his sisters before she agreed to marry him.

eom

[snooper2]

24. ROFLMAO

Thanks for the entertainment Drugger

[get the red out]

26. He regrets getting caught

Last week, not so much, I would imagine.

[mike_c]

28. oh, the victimhood....

It really wasn't his fault.

[Tipperary]

33. I wish he would just go away.

Forever and ever. Amen.

(Apologies to Randy Travis)

[WinkyDink]

34. I don't mind sinners asking for forgiveness, because, Christianity. But I like it better before they

are caught.

[bullwinkle428]

38. Did he apologize for his treatment of the LGBT community?

Still looking for that one...

[Liberal_in_LA]

43. and for his belief in patriarchy?

[Oneironaut]

39. I always have to laugh at the "I am ashamed" line.

I'm sure he's "ashamed" now that he got caught.

[Chiyo-chichi]

42. Dear Josh, I just heard from Jesus.

He agrees that you are a giant hypocrite. He says to tell you that he forgives you on the following conditions:

You must shut up and go away. All of you. No more reality shows for you or any members of your family on TLC or anywhere else.
No more public statements or apologies. No one wants to hear from you or see your face.
No more media interviews on any topic. Period.
No more lobbying for "family values" or anything else.
Go find someplace where you can do an honest day's work in anonymity for the rest of your life. He said there is to be no motivational speaking career in your future. None of this "I have repented and changed my ways and now let me spread the word kind of bullshit."
Those were His exact words.
He specifically used the phrase "your 15 minutes are over." He said for you to delete all websites and social media accounts forever.
He repeated the phrase "go away."
As for the damage you have done to your family... Jesus says for you to sort that out.
He emphatically says that no one else needs to hear another word about it.
I would shut up and go away if I were you.
He seemed kinda pissed.

[hifiguy]

44. Hey Bugs, what do you think?

[ruffburr]

45. Excuses-

Are like a-- holes, Everybody's got one, In this case he is one.

[Autumn]

46. I've watched porn over the years. Not one time did it ever cause me to be unfaithful to my Husband

or vice versa. So just add lying little piss ant who can't accept personal responsibility without blaming your faults on other things to your resume.

[Doctor_J]

50. especially since he was molesting his sisters long before he discovered porn

Making it up as he goes

[Autumn]

51. Yep there it is. Pathetic excuse for a human being.

[Warren DeMontague]

60. It's awfully convenient when these right wing fundamentalist fuckjobs blame "secular immorality"

for their own shortcomings, isn't it?

I mean, I'm an Atheist, but if I run a red light and get caught, I'm not gonna try to blame Jesus and Megachurches for it.

[seveneyes]

48. Did he use up all his repents?

I thought all one had to do was repent their "sins" and all is forgiven. Have the rules changed?

[Monk06]

53. If he wasn't raised by a bunch of Fundie nutburgers he would have grown up sexually well adjusted.

[MrScorpio]

54. Everything to deny the fact that he's a self-righteous, hypocritical, sister-raping prick. nt

[ecstatic]

56. Porn aside (nothing wrong with it assuming it wasn't child pornography):

On top of being a child pervert and molester (and I wouldn't be surprised if he graduated to pedophilia), he is an adulterer. He spends hundreds of dollars looking for cheating opportunities online. Anna: Divorce him and rebuild. He's a dangerous, disgusting liar.

[name not needed]

57. Yeah, it's the porn's fault you fuck kids.

[Kaleva]

58. Let's wait for Bristol and Sarah to tell us what to think about this

[Warren DeMontague]

59. That's funny--- The Vatican sure has produced a good number of child molesters, over the years.

What's the common denominator, there? It sure isn't porn.

[avebury]

61. This should be the final nail in the coffin of

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar's delusional idea of trying to get TLC to let them have a new reality show where they counsel molestation victims.

You would have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to realize that the Duggars were total failures as parents to Josh and how they handled the molestation incident both with Josh and Josh's victims.

It seems like it would be a good idea for Child Protective Services to have a good hard long look at both Josh's children and his other siblings.

TLC would be beyond stupid to get involved with Jim Bob and Michelle doing a show where they counsel anybody because they don't have any credentials to serve as counselors and it is pretty clear that they are failures at it. There could be some real potential liability issues for TLC to get involved with anything like that.

[Recursion]

63. I don't even know if it's funny anymore. Mostly just sad.

The Duggar family, the whole quiverful movement, just makes me sad now, at all the lives it's destroyed.

[cleanhippie]

65. But he's got Jesus, so it's cool.
