The Duggars and the Evil Outside

I wonder just how close Trevin Wax is to the Duggar family. Does he know for a fact that they were only concerned about the evil without? Or is he just assuming that to be true because he doesn’t share their particular standards?

How old is Josh? 27?

Why are his parents still speaking for him and his family?

I think you are reading too much into that. Josh made his own announcement for the Ashley Madison revelation.

This recent one is likely just the parents speaking to fans of the show from their website. Josh is obviously in rehab working on that.

It’s the “Josh Duggar scandal” … not the “Duggar family” scandal

The Duggar parents ARE responsible for subjecting their family to ATI curricula by Bill Gothard, which, if you look closely at the sex abuse material, is essentially sexual grooming material. Any material that blames the victim for the abuse is wrong. In Gothard’s world, women are objects or possessions of men. It makes sense because he (Gothard), too, followed his own teaching materials when he sexually groomed approximately 30 women (who spoke publicly - who knows what the real number is). He still has not reconciled with all the women. I spoke with him personally about this and he responded that they need to come to him first. Meanwhile, he claims he “fell” because he wasn’t meditating on the Lord both morning and night. Now he is, so God speaks to him in his dreams and about his new ministry endeavors. This was all part of the conversation I had with him.
It doesn’t sound like this new treatment facility is equipped to handle sexual addictions. It sounds like 40+ hours of labor with extensive devotions. There are mental health professionals specifically trained to help people with sexual addictions. If his parents had sent him to an appropriate place when he was a teen, we may not be having this conversation now.
