Statement from Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar:
Please see the statement below from our son Josh regarding recent media stories about him. When we learned of this late last night our hearts were broken. As we continue to place our trust in God we ask for your prayers for Josh, Anna, our grandchildren and our entire family.
Statement from Josh Duggar:
I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have been unfaithful to my wife.
I am so ashamed of the double life that I have been living and am grieved for the hurt, pain and disgrace my sin has caused my wife and family, and most of all Jesus and all those who profess faith in Him.
I have brought hurt and a reproach to my family, close friends and the fans of our show with my actions.
The last few years, while publicly stating I was fighting against immorality in our country I was hiding my own personal failures.
As I am learning the hard way, we have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. I deeply regret all the hurt I have caused so many by being such a bad example.
I humbly ask for your forgiveness. Please pray for my precious wife Anna and our family during this time.
Jesus, when it rains, it pours He needs to be put on suicide watch, TBH. He's wrong for everything that he's done, but it still must be humiliating to be exposed on such a large scale.
I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing ****ography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife.
I brought hurt and a reproach to my family, close friends and the fans of our show with my actions that happened when I was 14-15 years old, and now I have re-broken their trust.
Well at least he recognizes it and seems embarrassed. Not surprising he ended up this way when his parents enabled his atrocious behavior. Awful family.
He needs to be put on suicide watch, TBH. He's wrong for everything that he's done, but it still must be humiliating to be exposed on such a large scale.
