Josh Duggar Resurfaces on Facebook, Sparks Feverish Debate Over Forgiveness
This just in:
Josh Duggar is alive and well…
… much to the annoyance and chagrin of many Facebook users.
On Wednesday afternoon, the official Duggar Facebook page shared a photo of nearly every member of this infamous family gathered at a restaurant in celebration of Jim Bob’s birthday.
As a caption, the post read as follows:
Happy birthday to a man that wears many, many hats! Jim Bob, you are an amazing husband and wonderful father. Your heart for people and the desire you have to see others come into relationship with Jesus is beautiful.
Our whole family has been blessed by you.
You have led and guided us and we are so blessed to call you “ours.” Happy birthday!!
Seems pretty straightforward, right?
Pretty much what you’d expect from this family in recognization of this kind of occasion, no?
However, it wasn’t this message or even Jim Bob turning another year older that has elicted serious debate online.
It’s the presence of the person front and center in that picture above: Josh Duggar.
Josh, of course, has been persona non grata for years now.
That’s what happens when you admit to molesting your own sisters, as Josh did in 2015; and then when you also admit to cheating on your wife.
Multiple times, we presume, considerning Duggar had an account with the infidelity website Ashley Madison.
In response to these scandals, TLC canceled the series 19 and Counting, although it has since launched a spinoff titled just Counting On.
Moreover, Josh and his wife Anna have remained pretty far out of the spotlight, sitting at home, caring for their five kids and, when it comes to Josh, trying as hard as he can to keep his hands to himself.
In light of this new photo surfacing, however, many Internet users have taken to the Comments section and engaged in a rather fiery debate over whether Duggar deserves to actually be forgiven.
Is he a “weirdo,” as someone has labeled him above?
Is he absolved of his sins because his family doesn’t hold these sins against him?
Should we let something as heinous as pedophilia go simply because it’s been talked about a lot and/or took place many years ago?
Then there’s the stance, espoused in one remark shared here, that Jesus has forgiven Josh… provided he doesn’t molest or cheat again.
Is this even how it works?
If Josh did commit these acts again and then sought forgiveness, wouldn’t these same people be saying the same thing?
Back in June, Josh made another rare social media appearance, this one by his own doing, on his own account.
He posted the following family photo in honor of his son, Marcus, turning five years old.
The comments Josh received in response to this image?
They were pretty similar to a handful of the critiques posted above.
“Josh should be castrated!” someone wrote at the time, while another added:
“Those poor little girls are at risk for being prey to their own father! The plot to cover for this monster was a very Christian thing to do!”
So… yeah.
Josh may be better served just keeping to himself for the rest of his years.
The guy may have avoided any jail time for his horrible actions as a teenager, but he’ll never be free from online castigation.
And thank goodness, right?

Josh Duggar Resurfaces on Instagram For 30th Birthday, Gets SLAMMED By Fans
For obvious reasons, Josh Duggar doesn’t make many appearances on social media these days.
It’s been three years since the world learned that Josh molested five young girls and was aided by his parents in his efforts to cover up his crimes.
Somehow, Jim Bob and Michelle have managed to rebuild their reputations, but needless to say, Josh hasn’t been quite as lucky.
The former lobbyist remains in virtual exile, and it’s rare for Josh’s parents and siblings to even acknowledge his existence in public settings.
Unfortunately for his long-suffering wife, Anna Duggar, not everyone is so able to so easily distance themselves from Josh.
Josh celebrated his 30th birthday over the weekend, and while most of the Duggars didn’t acknowledge the occasion, Anna paid tribute to her disgraced husband on Instagram.
And not surprisingly, her post wasn’t terribly well-received by fans:
Anna posted the video above in which an assemblage of Duggars serenades Josh in celebration of his milestone birthday.
Even Josiah Duggar’s new courting partner Lauren Swanson was on hand for the occasion and can be seen in Anna’s video.
But not everyone has proven quite so forgiving of Josh’s many indiscretions.
“Once a cheater always a cheater,” wrote one fan.
“She’s gonna get heartbroken again. Just caring for the woman’s well being.”
Others took issue with the manner in which Josh is holding his and Anna’s youngest child:
“This is disgusting, nobody wants to see your cheating child molester husband who’s holding his baby’s toes only cm from that flame. You should probably delete this post, the fat lump is disgusting me. Hope he burns in hell.”
Many pointed out that Jessa Duggar – who was revealed to be one of Josh’s victims – can be seen in the clip.
Others commented that Anna’s willingness to post such footage in a public forum points to a disturbing trend.
For two years after news of his sex scandals broke, Josh was nowhere to be seen on social media.
That changed in 2017 when his wife and parents once again began posting photos and videos in which he was featured.
Fans of the Duggars now fear that Josh is being slowly reintroduced to the public in an effort to normalize the father of five.
Some have even gone so far as to suggest that Josh might appear on Counting On, the Duggar’s popular TLC reality series.
That seems like quite a leap, but we’re sure the Duggars have often envisioned a future in which their eldest son’s misconduct is forgotten and forgiven.
Fortunately, there are many who seen intent on preventing that from happening.
Watch Counting On online for more from reality TV’s most controversial family.

Josh Duggar Resurfaces, Provokes Outrage From Fans
It’s been just over two yearss since the world learned that Josh Duggar molested five young women – four of whom were his sisters – and managed to avoid prosecution for his crimes with the help of his parents.
In most cases, that’s not the sort of scandal that celebrities are able to overcome, but the Duggars enjoy the support of an unusually devoted fan base, and to the chagrin of many, they’ve successfully engineered a comeback of sorts.
Unfortunately for the Duggars, however, even TV’s most cultish viewers draw the line somewhere
Yes, per the terms of the family’s unofficial contract with fans, Josh Duggar is not welcome on Counting On.
In fact, the family is so concerned with not reminding fans about Josh’s heinous misdeeds that he’s been edited out of footage that was later used on the show after accidentally wandering into a shot.
But while the Duggars seem to be doing their best to distance themselves from Josh in public, they still interact with him regularly off camera.
Family events, of course, present a unique challenge, as Josh and wife Anna are invited to birthday parties, weddings, and the like, but must do their best to keep a safe distance between themselves and the camera crews that are invariably on hand.
But while Josh will likely never appear on Counting On, his family seems to have relaxed their attitude toward the disgraced 29-year-old appearing and speaking in public forums:
That’s Josh and wife Anna at the Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell’s wedding.
The young couple got hitched over the weekend, and as you can see, Josh and Anna offered their congrats via video.
Not surprisingly, fan reactions to the rare Josh appearance were decidedly mixed.
Some praised the former lobbyist for showing his face on his brother’s big day, knowing he remains a target for the most scathing sort of criticism.
Others called attention to the jaw-dropping irony of a sex offender and serial adulterer offering up marital advice.
“I love seeing Josh and Anna. Such a beautiful example of God’s redemptive abilities in our lives. So awesome to see how they sought God in the midst of their hardest times. Very inspiring! God bless,” wrote one fan.
“Let’s hope Joe treats his wife better than Josh,” countered another.
Others pointed out that guests at Joseph and Kendra’s wedding were given sparklers at the reception, which may have been a strategic move by the event’s coordinators.
“If I were potentially editing someone out of a background in something, I’d love there to be sparklers,” wrote one user on the Free Jinger website.
Obviously, Josh will never gain the acceptance of his family’s many detractors, and even some Duggar fans struggle with his continued inclusion in family events.
But it seems clear that despite his many appalling misdeeds and the fact that Josh is currently locked in a legal battle with his own sisters, the Duggar clan isn’t giving up on him just yet.

Taylor Swift Resurfaces on Instagram: Find Out Why!
Taylor Swift has temporarily come out of social media hiding.
The singer has only shared two Instagram posts in the past few weeks, going nearly entirely silent ever since Kim Kardashian posted videos of a phone call between Swift and Kanye West.
The videos, of course, featured a phone conversation between Taylor and Kanye.
It centered on the rapper’s single, “Famous,” most specifically certain lyrics that called Swift out in a number of unflattering ways.
Swift gave her okay to these lyrics, contradicting future claims that she was shocked and offended when Kanye’s song went viral.
Soon after Kim proved she was a liar, Swift posted a message on Instagram that claimed Kimye was trying to assassinate her character, adding that she’d like to be “excluded from this narrative.”
Here’s a look at that emotional, desperate, angry plea:
Since then, Swift has only signed on to wish Selena Gomez a happy 24th birthday.
But now Taylor has gone ahead and surprised followers with a new Instagram post. And it once again comes on the occasion of a good friend’s birthday.
“I LOVE YOU KARLIE! You’re such an exquisite person, always trying to make things better for others,” Swift shared on Instagram, along with a throwback selfie.
“Every day I’m inspired by how giving, loving, and thoughtful you are. Happy 24th Birthday!!!”
Say what you want about Taylor Swift (and people aren’t shy about doing so these days), but she does always seem like a very good friend.
So, how did Swift and Kloss celebrate this occasion?
Not by hanging out together.
“When you’re halfway around the world & your best friend still finds a way to celebrate 24 with you @taylorswift13,” Kloss Tweeted yesterday morning.
She then posted a photo of Swift on FaceTime, including with it a gorgeous vase of sunflowers that were put on display next to the screen.
“If you have one person in your life that you connect with then you’re lucky,” Karlie once told Elle U.K., speaking of the famous Taylor Swift Squad and adding:
“If you have a group of friends that you have that connection with then you’re especially lucky and if you have people in your family you have that connection with then you’ve really won the game.”
Let’s hope that Squad is there for Taylor at the moment.
She could use some real friends.

Josh Duggar Re-Surfaces on Facebook For First Time Since Sex Scandals
It’s been over a year since the world learned that when he was in his teens, Josh Duggar molested five young girls, four of whom were his sisters.
During that time, Josh was involved in a second sex scandal when it was revealed that he used an Ashley Madison account to help him cheat on his wife.
The Duggars shipped Josh off to a faith-based rehab center in Illinois, and they clearly hoped that the press and their detractors would forget that the family had harbored a child molester once he was out of sight.
To the surprise of no one whose name doesn’t start with “D” and end with “-uggar,” the ploy didn’t work.
Josh is still reviled by many former Duggar fans, and it’s not surprising that his first post-scandal appearance in public (at a freakin’ mini-golf course, no less) did not go well.
(Picture angry villagers chasing Frankenstein into the quick sand with torches and pitchforks, and you’ll have some idea of the reaction.)
But the Duggars remain determined to get fans to forgive (or at least forget) their son’s many indiscretions, and yesterday, they reintroduced him to their social media followers via the first family photo featuring Josh since he was released from rehab:
Yes, that’s the Duggar men at an airshow in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and b’gosh, there’s Josh on the far left, wearing a brown shirt and looking like he’s packed on a few pounds.
“It was such a joy to spend 3 days with my 10 sons and 2 of my grandsons at the 2016 EAA Oshkosh Airshow,” family patriarch Jim Bob captioned the above pic.
“We all love aviation and being together. Thousands of planes flew in, and hundreds of thousands of people will attend. It is amazing!”
Obviously, it looks like the Duggar women weren’t invited, but in this case, that might be for the best.

Tiffany Trump: "Like a Bird" Song Resurfaces; Internet Laughs Heartily
If you’re like most Americans, by now you probably think you know just about everything there is to know about the Trump family.
Donald’s three oldest children are widely believed to be the architects of his astonishingly successful campaign.
Ivanka’s speech at the RNC was considered by many Republicans to be the highlight of the convention.
Some insiders have gone so far as to claim that if it weren’t for the influence of Ivanka and her brothers Donald Jr. and Eric, there would be no Trump candidacy at all.
But despite all the scrutiny of the Trump kids in recent months, there’s been little focus on his youngest two children, Tiffany, 22, and Barron, 10.
Obviously, they’re not exactly hidden from view:
Tiffany’s Instagram page earned her some popularity on social media long before her father began amassing political clout.
And her speech at the RNC wasn’t quite as well received as Ivanka’s, but she did an admirable job of portraying her father as human who’s capable of any emotion other than seething rage.
But Tiffany has aspirations that have nothing to do with her father’s political campaign.
Sure, she recently graduated from University of Pennsylvania with degrees in sociology and urban studies, but there was a time when Tiffany had more glamorous career goals in mind:
The heavily auto-tuned gem above is Tiff’s 2011 single “Like a Bird,” which apparently recorded with two other “artists,” hilariously named Sprite and Logic.
The studio magic knob is cranked up so high that it’s tough to tell what Tiff is crooning about, but the Internet has had a field day with lyrics like:
“You’re cute and you’re tweeting me/Baby you go beep beep beep,” and “We living it up/Shine like aluminum foil in the club.”
Sounds like the Trump campaign should’ve just chilled and let Tiff write her own speech.
That way she could’ve hit us with pearls of wisdom like, “Diamonds are so shimmery/Special things uncover me.”
Poetry, y’all.
