A Deep Dive into Anna Duggar

[arilicious]

This youtuber BE THEE COMMENTATOR has so far made a series of three videos about J*sh and Anna Duggar, his crimes, his arrest, and her life with him. The videos are very well-done, I can tell she did her research, and I recommend you guys take the time and watch these videos, don't just read my basic rundown

I realized I accidentally posted the same video twice, I fixed it now

I’m gonna read this later when I have more time thanks OP.

I still listen to Feathers In My Hair a Teen Mom podcast when I can but sometimes the host will do stuff on them and evangelicals so I try to catch up that way.

I wonder if she truly believe he's innocent or if she just stays with him because his and her parents tell her to do so. Some of the Duggar kids have seemingly gotten away from the cult (but are still into the christian lifestyle), I wonder if they would help her escape the marriage and getting back on track.

Her brother left the cult and publicly offered to take her in and support her in the past. So she has people who would help her.

That was a few kids ago though. She's now got 7 kids and maybe not even a high school education if she didn't get her GED. She's in a hard spot where it would be hard for people to help her due to how many kids she has, and she's also not qualified enough to make the amount of income it would take to have that many kids in daycare and still afford to live. She could probably get off to a great start if she got a book deal, but she's at such a huge disadvantage in so many ways with how sheltered she's been from the world. I really don't like Anna, but she's between a rock and a hard place.

That is true and I don’t mean to diminish the precarious situation she’s in, but I wonder if her other siblings who left the cult might be able to help her in addition to her brother. I wouldn’t trust her parents to help her considering they’re part of the problem, but I was just pointing that out because some people may not know about the brother’s offer.
I agree that the position she’s been put in because of her extreme dependence on Josh (I agree that she probably doesn’t have a GED), means that she likely is in extreme dependence to Jim Bob and Michelle.
This cult is sick and the abuse they inflict in its name is so deep.

The Quiverfull movement is entirely fucked up for so many reasons but more emphasis should be put on the financial abuse it involves. Having more kids than you can afford chains wives to their husbands and husbands to the church because there isn't any other way to support themselves, and the Duggars are a huge part of the propaganda for the movement. They pretend they're self-made and hide the abject, desperate poverty they lived in before TLC started paying them for the opportunity to spread their shitty worldview. It's why their brand of fundamentalism fights so hard against any social safety nets - if families aren't forced to depend on the largesse of the church's charity, they don't have to live and die leashed to the institution.

It’s nothing new. She falls in the same category as Dottie Sandusky or Camille Cosby. Their entire existence is based on another man.
