    Hey Everyone!
    I know this video is long and kind of shocking. I was shocking reading these records. The depositions and other reports are equally horrible. This video was done as a voice over because it had so many documents to show.
    For those of you wanting to follow me on instagram, please follow me here: instagram.com/withoutacrystalball2/
    I have NO IDEA if I can recover my main account. Unfortunately, I have gotten nowhere because hackers have made it impossible to report the situation. I would love to be able to just build up my second account in the event I cannot recover the main page.
    I hope you all have had a great day!

    PR Director: (Say this)"There is nothing fake about our family..."
    It's ironic that they had literally memorized that word for word rather than speaking in their own words. 🙄 Wow.
    The way JB and Michelle use words like "foolish", "mistakes", "choices", and "mild" REALLY downplay the severity of Josh's actions. That also completely ignores how Josh most likely ended up having the urges that he does - he was probably "SA" himself. It's not a simple choice; it's an urge that doesn't go away without intense therapy, which is still no guarantee. Their description of the "changed Josh" sure didn't age well, now did it?!
    How absolutely disturbing that the girls were told to say they "do not harbour bitterness" toward Josh, especially considering they did not receive proper therapy and should have spoken for themselves!!! That's extremely emotionally manipulative and damaging.

I suggest that you go and see a counsellor to ask for help in dealing with your immoral thoughts, which as a christian ,you should be controlling . I suggest that Jim Bob himself probably has problems He is behaving like the Taliban. If men cannot control their behaviour , it is they who should be locked up after 6PM, and have to wear electronic tags
      The punishment for rape should be permanent physical or chemical castration, and pornography should be banned. My father was chased by a lady from his dance class . He changed his route to work and went to a different dancing class. He was not a christian at the time, but was a person with a strict moral code.Jim Bob should be protecting his daughters and grand-daughters-- not making excuses for weak ness and a lack of self-control in himself and his sons.

    I always felt Jill’s face was telling a different story than her mouth in that interview. She held back most of the time, as well. Always clear Jessa was a true believer or lies as easily as her brother and parents.
    This is a disgusting situation.
    I have always wondered about the youngest girl I can never remember her name. I don’t know if things have changed but she was a wild child that nobody seemed to want to contain. I see that photo of Josh holding her and wonder if there wasn’t significant trauma other than just being a preemie. Also the very quiet one… Jordyn? Or all of the girls except Jana. And why did their other brothers not kick his butt sideways.
    I’m Italian American. My family is a normal family, not the garbage you see on tv. My youngest aunt’s husband swept her out of the state… from PA to CO because one brother found out he knocked her around. He picked up his entire life and family and moved to the same town. When they got him sober, he was a great guy the rest of his life.
    But if one of the older brothers- there were 6 brothers and 3 sisters, I can’t even begin to imagine what would have happened to them.

    It's infuriating that these people use the word, 'only', in describing the violation of a child's body. No wonder Josh didn't think it was a big deal when he went on to 'only' watch child porn and do whatever it was he did, re: Ashley Madison. I have to wonder, if it was Michelle who Josh decided to feel up 'over her clothes', would that have been an 'only'? As for the girls being interviewed, I didn't see the original airing but just watching this clip made me think ~ "These kids have not been raised to be so articulate. They're usually pretty clumsy when it comes to sentence structure, grammar, and the like. This sounds rehearsed." Just my two cents.

IMO JB is a control freak, treats his kids as property, and clearly feels 100% entitled to Michelle’s body any time he wants anything. Attitudes Josh embraced in his own marriage.

      A lot of interviews are rehearsed we just aren't made aware of it. It is true that some of them are not articulate, I think a lot of this has to do with the control they are under growing up in the IBP which informs its members to be careful with words and to sound positive. Not mention being in the public eye, this would cause anyone stubble and overthink what their saying. That being said Jessa is a very natural and articulate speaker.

I realize this has been the norm for at least a decade or more but it diminishes the speaker, no matter how bright he or she might be outside the field of linguistics. And beginning a sentence with 'me' is not 'articulate'. I think Jessa is probably smarter than the average Duggar but I do not confuse being smart with being articulate.
