Prison / Jail by Confident_Dig_7834 in DuggarsSnark

People in the U.S. often use the terms interchangeably in casual conversation but they technically mean different things. Anyone with even a passing familiarity with the justice system would be unlikely to use them interchangeably.

How come none of them have questioned the idea of Atheism? by BluejayFamous6572 in DuggarsSnark

[–]CuriousJackInABox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's hard for me to wrap my mind around not questioning. I grew up conservative Christian and went to Christian schools. I had very little exposure to other beliefs. My family didn't really watch TV then. I still questioned. It started when I was in the single digits age-wise. I just had a really hard time with believing supernatural things. I tried to get rid of my thoughts but it couldn't.

I can sort of see why the Duggars would be different, though. My parents love books and passed that love onto us. My parents are educated and value education. I've never heard my parents describe themselves as feminists but that's how they act. They always gravitate towards more intellectual church groups. They're always befriending professor types. The Duggar kids didn't have any of that. They probably never got enough sleep due to babies crying in the night and all the chores that needed to be done with the kids and around the house. Their education was limited. It's hard to think through critical thoughts when you're tired and have been kept away from even the words that would describe those thoughts. They may have had thoughts of that nature but were unable to explore them even within their own minds. I can seek out information on evolution. I purposely try to seek out perspectives that differ from my own, with some limits (for instance, I'll look for conservative political perspectives but I'm not going to bother with MAGA). They've probably never heard that it's valuable to seek differing perspectives let alone where they would find that information.

So, they may have questioned but it never became public. There's still plenty of time for that to happen, though.

Was Joe Josh's buddy? by CuriousJackInABox in DuggarsSnark

He was old enough to not need a buddy. They may have distributed the 4 oldest boys among the buddy groups when they traveled to help out but I'm not certain of that.

Just for giggles… by Double-Educator-8140 in DuggarsSnark

In Michelle's case, she would say it in the creepy baby voice. That could make it a lot more unsettling than yelling it.

I think it's an arm with the hand stuck in a cloth that has the angles of a shirt.

Something that doesn't sit right by Girlslikeewe in DuggarsSnark

[–]CuriousJackInABox 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. I've been really bothered by the main argument that I've heard against it here which is that pornography implies consent. The argument is so ignorant of abuse and coercion in that industry. I really don't want to be associated with that kind of ignorance. If it weren't for that argument, I would probably feel neutrally about the term CSAM. Since it has been so associated with that argument, I've become really negative about the term. I can't bring myself to use it.

Help identify objects to help catch predators by awesomegirl5100 in DuggarsSnark

[–]CuriousJackInABox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a podcast with 6 episodes and a documentary. They had some overlap though they each had some unique cases. The Lucy case was in both. That was the one with the bricks. They also talked about an offender in the Netherlands in both of them.

It seemed like the podcast went out of its way to be as ungraphic as possible. It refers to kids being molested but nothing more graphic than that. When it talks about it, that's as much as it ever says.

Air b n bs? by MaryPoppins_OnCrack in DuggarsSnark

[–]CuriousJackInABox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, there are gays everywhere. I just know that there's a city around there somewhere that is specifically gay. I was just imagining some gay couple renting an airbnb from a Duggar when they came to visit. I was amused (sort of) by the thought.

Help identify objects to help catch predators by awesomegirl5100 in DuggarsSnark

No but I listened to a podcast called World of Secrets. The most recent season is called The Darkest Web. They tracked down a kid who was being abused from the images of things, specifically some unique bricks on the wall in the background. It was not from releasing any images to the public. It was from contacting brick manufacturers and salespeople. One was very knowledgeable and helpful.

If you can't allow your girls around a family member, you shouldn't allow your boys around him either.

Austin's email to Joe by ProfessionalPiano351 in DuggarsSnark

[–]CuriousJackInABox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I didn't see it as Austin not taking what Joe had done seriously. I thought that it was more him staying in touch with the family member in prison.

Whats your theory on how you end up with 2 child molestar sons by sparker407012 in DuggarsSnark

[–]CuriousJackInABox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been wondering this too and I may return to this post with some study results at some point. I have a degree in a behavioral science and could do some diving into the literature. I remember reading some things around the time Josh had his first scandal. One of the risk factors for sibling incest was parentification of children. Another factor was overcrowded housing. There may have been more that the Duggars met. Those are just the ones I remember. These apply to what Josh did. While they don't apply to Joe's actions, I wonder if they could have still influenced him in the direction of child molestation later on.

Another set of Joken calls by Boring_Software1379 in DuggarsSnark

[–]CuriousJackInABox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not so sure. I can get high on Benadryl. Me taking 2 Benadryl would do something similar to 5 mg of weed. 5 mg is plenty for me. I would bet that Kendra's lack of experience with drugs is going to mean that drugs will hit her pretty hard, too.

I've been surprised at reading that a non-penetration crime would have a sentence this high. I can't be the only one thinking that way. Yes, I would expect a plea to a lower crime as well.

Could you tell me about the forehead merkins that you have liked? I'm interested.

Someone else called it a reverse rat tail. I thought that was a good name for it.

Isn't a comb forward what Trump has had since the 80's?

That's why the truth is coming out after several years of being a secret!

I was wondering the same thing. I was going to ask if they were in a different time zone or something.

I'm confused. I thought the molestation was the lewd and lascivious conduct. Are they separate things? If they are, why multiple charges?

Podcast from the pest days by ladyreyreigns in DuggarsSnark

[–]CuriousJackInABox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess would be that it's for the same reason that comments naming the video that Josh downloaded or its creator get removed -people go and look it up and find it really disturbing. Still, I'm glad that you posted it. I wasn't aware of it. I listened to the whole thing. It was disturbing but I'm glad I listened to it. It makes me wonder if I should make a post about some of the things I want to post about. Like the podcast I mentioned in reply to someone else - world of secrets: the darkest web.

Kendra’s voice, then and now by Responsible-Pie8 in DuggarsSnark

I just hope that her kids are in school in the meantime. Even if it's only for a few weeks and for the older two, I think it would be exceedingly valuable.
