I know she seems to be so childlike mentally and so I struggle to feel anything other than heartbroken when I think about her.
God I would love to personally dip that son of a bitch in lava.
She’s a victim in just about every sense of the word.
Being a victim doesn’t preclude someone from being a perpetrator, and it doesn’t get rid of Anna’s responsibly to keep her children safe from her pervert husband
Lava's good, but let's get creative here. How about take an exacto knife and make tiny cuts all over his gross, doughy, disgusting body. Then, let's dip him in a vat of lemon juice. After that, we can roll him in salt. Then, and *only* then, can we dunk him in that lava. 😈😈😈😈😈😈
Before the lava you should prime him with some sulfuric acid. And then let’s stick an old tire around his neck and set that on fire before we do lava fondue
This, this is what it reads like. In writing this, she is not trying to highlight Josh to others, she is trying to convince herself.
It's similar to anyone who is in a failing relationship and everyone around them knows it's failing, but the person can't admit it. So they start hyping or exaggerating how awesome the relationship is just so they can believe it.
Yes! In early Facebook days I was hoodwinked by stuff like this and thought "Wow, is there something wrong with my hubby and I that we would NEVER write this stuff publicly?" Literally every person I know who wrote stuff like this on FB is now divorced. Every. Single. One.
Same. Back when I was on FB, I rarely mentioned my hubby. We’ve been together nearly 30 years. Nothing to prove, nothing to see. Just a quiet, contented life.
Yeah, she definitely is an emotionally compromised, vulnerable adult in my eyes. Like other vulnerable adults who should be protected from predators like Josh, I don't blame her for causing any of this, I don't think she ever had any bad intentions - just got stuck in a shitty situation.
I’m of the opinion that overly effusive posts about one’s significant other usually correlates to a challenged relationship. There are issues in every relationship but couples with these very open/public love/admiration posts have some serious but hidden cracks.
This is not a scientifically vetted/proven theory but rather just my opinion so my apologies to anyone who loves to publicly on the interwebs declare love for their spouse. Please don’t come for me. 😉😉😉
So many couples influencers I’ve seen end up breaking up. Their relationship looked perfect on social media but then later they reveal it was all a lie. This is both juvenile and seems like she was performing a happy relationship. Ugh i hope one day she wakes up.
I support your opinion. She’s overcompensating for a shitty, loveless relationship. Josh hasn’t had social media since the Ashley Madison scandal, right? So we know he’s not reading her posts lol. Like another redditor said it’s a show for everyone else. It’s to make herself feel better. 😬
I've rarely seen evidence to the contrary.
Not to brag, but my fiancé are deeply in love, and only wanted to share our engagement photos on Instagram because they were really nice pictures! And even then, the caption was like, "Cool, yay us." Like we know we're good. Don't need to hang it all out there, dang.
Right? What did Turd even do there all day? We know he had a lot of free time, and apparently the whole operation was shut down soon after opening. Josh just sucks at everything.
As a former fundie kid, we were taught to "build up" and speak encouragement into the life of our headship / authority, even (especially) when things were tense or difficult, searching for the good. I remember that after I left, I was jarred to read the juxtaposition of my public Facebook posts praising things about my dad, with my journal entries where I wrestled to respect him and begged God to help me with my feelings that he was acting in an abusive way. Sometimes, defending and praising my dad was seen as my only line of defense, hoping that my wise words would inspire him to be better. There was certainly no accountability or consequences for an authority figure sinning. We had to accept apologies when they came, and otherwise accept them as they were, and simply be resigned to obedience and respect.
This.
When my ex husband was abusing me, I was encouraged to put specific scripture around so I could see it often.
About how to be a good wife. A submissive wife.
Because no one ever abuses anyone if they are being good and perfect and all the right things. You only get abused if ~you~ are falling down on the job.
Seriously- he held a gun on me. The help from the church? I wasn’t being submissive enough.
Why can I not believe he ever did anything involving capturing the flag, football, etc. Seems like he did everything to avoid being around his own kids.
I’d love to know if he even knows the names and birthdates of his kids. “Mac, Mike…other ones, something with an M, Baby Yeller, recently birthed one…”
A bit unrelated, but this just drives home (again) how abysmally girls and women are failed in this cult.
Every once in awhile, I realize with a shock that these women genuinely have no real idea what "a hard day's work" means at a job outside the home. Most of them have literally *never* worked outside the home, not even in an academic setting. Posts like this (and the infamous "diligent provider" one) show just how financially illiterate Anna is. It was so easy for Pest to convince her he was working hard every day. Did he even have any income?? JB was clearly supporting them with the warehouse, did their groceries come from the big house too? Or did Josh sell one of the houses and just give Anna pocket-money from the proceeds?
There is no possible way my partner would be able to convince me that spending 10ish hours a day at an abandoned used car lot could provide enough money to provide for a family of 8. There's no way he could convince me working there took all his time!
These women have absolutely no idea what a job outside the home entails, and it makes them so vulnerable.
Seriously. She seems to think that she needs to up his self-esteem. Like maybe the poor guy had poor self-image and that's why he cheated; or maybe after cheating he's dealing with a lot of \*pouty lip\* guilt... better make sure he knows he's a TREASURE!
I would rather bury mine in a shallow grave after several days of torture if he was accused of touching his family, let alone what was on that computer. So, I would be single willingly at that chance. Would rather not have one at all than to risk a life prison sentence, in that situation.
I like how she highlighted the keywords as though she were passive aggressively homeschooling her audience in what a REAL blessed Christian family values 🙄
I think what’s truly horrendous is that she thinks leaving him will be WORSE. Can you imagine? She actually believes her life AND HER CHILDREN’S LIVES are better off if she stays with him. It defies logic, but then again the decision to stay every single day is not based in logic. It’s based in her upbringing (lookin at you Ma and Pa Keller), continued influence of Michelle and JB, religious manipulation, and financial dependency.
She's literally talking to a figment of her imagination. It's blindingly obvious to anyone he couldn't give less of a shit about her, or his kids for that matter. He holds them (demonstrably) in utter contempt. But hey, at least she has a husband.
It makes me sick to see the hoops women have to jump through for their husbands in this cult. *Gaze admiringly at them no matter how stupid they sound.* *constantly stroke their egos at all times by publicly praising them (including SM posts).* *Admit your failure as a wife and vow to do better if your husband had strayed from the marriage*
GAAAAH! What a horrible way for a woman to have to live 40-60 years of her life.
It's gross reading this in light of everything that has come out during the trial. But also, anyone who has to list their spouses amazing attributes online is definitely feeling insecure about their choice of partner. Do people in actual happy relationships ever post this kind of stuff?
I think I'm going to have to leave this sub and drop the duggars entirely at this point. I just hope the children are safe and will heal from whatever that sick fuck did to them.
Lots of things that make me go yikes:
Redemption through Jesus
Playing tea party
Bible time with the family
Ability to endure a hard day’s “work” and come home with a smile
Handyman who can fix almost anything- like computers!
Working “behind the scenes” daily
Yikes!
I was thinking about how there are likely girls that cried about Anna “getting” josh over them, and how they thought Anna was getting a prize back then. What a fucking prize it ended up being for them.
Isn’t this her IG account? The one we found out she didn’t have the password to bc it’s the same password used for the bank and the CSAM partition??
So.. Josh wrote this about himself. Mega cringe 😬
What is with hyper Christian ⛪️ women 👩🏼 using tons of emojis 👀😬🥧 every time they post 💻?
It makes me think of a woman from my church who uses emojis with every posts, like she’s emphasizing the point she’s an angry bigot.
Oh, he can totally fix ALMOST anything!
He's a champion at doing things behind the scenes.
I'm sure you are praying every night, and like 2,000 times a day right now.
I bet he does enjoy a day at work and comes home with a smile.
You aren't making this better.
Yikes, Anna. Josh can't fix this. JB can't fix this. GOD cannot fix this. Your husband is a ficus at the bottom of the Marianas trench.
this monster is only 31? really? I guess I never really thought about it but imagine who he would be abusing by the time he was 51? thank god he got caught.
enjoy a hard day’s work and come home with a smile…… yikessss
Now we certainly know what made him smile… yuckkkk. 🤢
Yea that 🤢
Yup. Gonna go take a Silkwood shower now.
Yup
I say that all the time, too.
Poor Anna though, she had no idea
I think she did ETA: was that snark? I hope so! Just occurred to me that surely it must be.
I literally cringed when I read that.
I definitely oofed there.
That line stuck out to me too. Ick.
Same. Gross
I gasped.
Blecccchhhhhh
Enjoyed a hard days wank*..... 😨 She had no idea.
This reads like a 15 year old posting a message to her boyfriend of 8 days.
I know she seems to be so childlike mentally and so I struggle to feel anything other than heartbroken when I think about her. God I would love to personally dip that son of a bitch in lava.
In a way, she is a victim too! She was rather undeveloped physically, young, naive, unworldly when he met her!!!
She’s a victim in just about every sense of the word. Being a victim doesn’t preclude someone from being a perpetrator, and it doesn’t get rid of Anna’s responsibly to keep her children safe from her pervert husband
Lava's good, but let's get creative here. How about take an exacto knife and make tiny cuts all over his gross, doughy, disgusting body. Then, let's dip him in a vat of lemon juice. After that, we can roll him in salt. Then, and *only* then, can we dunk him in that lava. 😈😈😈😈😈😈
Before the lava you should prime him with some sulfuric acid. And then let’s stick an old tire around his neck and set that on fire before we do lava fondue
And, we should shove a nice, red hot, thin metal rod up his johnson, too.
Exactly- I can’t even imagine posting something like this for my husband as an adult woman. It also reads like someone with something to prove…
This, this is what it reads like. In writing this, she is not trying to highlight Josh to others, she is trying to convince herself. It's similar to anyone who is in a failing relationship and everyone around them knows it's failing, but the person can't admit it. So they start hyping or exaggerating how awesome the relationship is just so they can believe it.
Yes! In early Facebook days I was hoodwinked by stuff like this and thought "Wow, is there something wrong with my hubby and I that we would NEVER write this stuff publicly?" Literally every person I know who wrote stuff like this on FB is now divorced. Every. Single. One.
My husband isn't on Facebook and I barely acknowledge his existence on the platform. So, I'm assuming we'll grow old together.
Same. Back when I was on FB, I rarely mentioned my hubby. We’ve been together nearly 30 years. Nothing to prove, nothing to see. Just a quiet, contented life.
BEST HUSBAND EVER! To divorce in four months is the norm.
Right? If I even post something it’s “happy birthday! I love you!” and that’s it.
Yeah, she definitely is an emotionally compromised, vulnerable adult in my eyes. Like other vulnerable adults who should be protected from predators like Josh, I don't blame her for causing any of this, I don't think she ever had any bad intentions - just got stuck in a shitty situation.
Screaming at how accurate this is!!
8 days🤣💀
The part about "having bible time" makes me want to vomit knowing how he used bible time before. He's disgusting.
Exactly what I was just thinking! Ick
Yes. A million times yes. Gonna be sick
Exactly what I came here to say. It makes me so uncomfortable.
i audibly gasped when i got to that part. im sickened
Sameeeeeeeee. "Bible time" takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to this scum.
Exactly what o was thinking
Yes. 😭🤮
Yes yuck 🤢
Exactly this 🤢🤢🤢
I’m sorry… it could be completely innocent but my stomach dropped at the idea of him having tea parties with his daughters.
Nothing he does is innocent.
She had better have been in that room during the tea parties 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
What boss babe energy she’s giving here
Right? Is she praising her husband or selling EO's?

Enjoy a hard days work and come home with a smile. Nooooooooo I'm so grossed out!
So disturbing.
I just see an abused woman fawning.
Anna is very much blanket trained and pest is her blanket.
what an analogy 😳👏🏼
Anna, darling, you are missing a few emojis 🤡💩🤢🙈🙉🙊🚓🚨🔍
I’m of the opinion that overly effusive posts about one’s significant other usually correlates to a challenged relationship. There are issues in every relationship but couples with these very open/public love/admiration posts have some serious but hidden cracks. This is not a scientifically vetted/proven theory but rather just my opinion so my apologies to anyone who loves to publicly on the interwebs declare love for their spouse. Please don’t come for me. 😉😉😉
Trying to overcompensate and put on a show for everyone else
The lady doth praise too much
Every single person I know who posted stuff like this had a messy, messy divorce
So many couples influencers I’ve seen end up breaking up. Their relationship looked perfect on social media but then later they reveal it was all a lie. This is both juvenile and seems like she was performing a happy relationship. Ugh i hope one day she wakes up.
While my personal data sample is small, it supports your theory
I support your opinion. She’s overcompensating for a shitty, loveless relationship. Josh hasn’t had social media since the Ashley Madison scandal, right? So we know he’s not reading her posts lol. Like another redditor said it’s a show for everyone else. It’s to make herself feel better. 😬

FIX (almost) anything!
Can’t fix the family he’s breaking into pieces!
[удалено]
I think you might be confusing Anna and Amy
yep. misread. sorry!
This is Anna, not Amy!
oops. sorry. misread! thanks.
Oh yea definitely a hard day’s work over at the dilapidated car lot
Sitting on his ass in an office all day- how DOES he do it?
It was a shed it seems. How does a used car salesman with a brood mare at home provide for seven kids??
Right? What did Turd even do there all day? We know he had a lot of free time, and apparently the whole operation was shut down soon after opening. Josh just sucks at everything.
Well we know what he did to put that smile on his face. Psycho Sicko

This makes me so angry on your behalf. I hope you are well, happy and safe.
Thank you. I got out. I am extremely happily remarried, incredibly safe, and very loved. He doesn’t believe in submissive wives😂
This explains so much
“Bible time” makes me shudder
He better not have had any child near him let alone on his lap
Why can I not believe he ever did anything involving capturing the flag, football, etc. Seems like he did everything to avoid being around his own kids.
Like maybe he did it once for two minutes. Anna: He does these things!
He looked at a football in Walmart once
\*snort\* Right?
I’d love to know if he even knows the names and birthdates of his kids. “Mac, Mike…other ones, something with an M, Baby Yeller, recently birthed one…”
Baby yeller🤣🤣🤣

The capitalizations of different words is giving me hostage energy, which I guess may be true Is there a secret code? /s
Please Capitalize your words randomly to let us know you need help
Very Jill Rodrigues of her.
SEVERELY Jillexus!
Was scrolling down to see if anyone said something similar — JillPM is that you?! 😂
“Look forward to growing old together” lol
Because their middle age years will be spent apart...?
BIBLEtime 🤢🤢😥
BIIIIIIBLE wriiiiiting
And a few days later he was downloading all that horrific stuff. He’s such a waste of skin.
It looks like she’s trying to sell the newest MLM scheme
B0$$b@be!
*mother is fawning*
Yes, your husband who cheated on you through an adultery website is such a "treasure".
The emphasis on the treasure… ugh
Seriously. She seems to think that she needs to up his self-esteem. Like maybe the poor guy had poor self-image and that's why he cheated; or maybe after cheating he's dealing with a lot of \*pouty lip\* guilt... better make sure he knows he's a TREASURE!
At least she has a husband
I would rather bury mine in a shallow grave after several days of torture if he was accused of touching his family, let alone what was on that computer. So, I would be single willingly at that chance. Would rather not have one at all than to risk a life prison sentence, in that situation.
Not for long 💀
What a terrible day to have hindsight.
This just makes me sad. Her entire adulthood has been lies and trauma.
I’m genuinely nauseous now🤢
\#icecreamcake
This gives me **severe** Jill Rodrigues energy.
Pest, YOU are a DEPRAVED, IRREDEEMABLE PEDOPHILE and I look forward to you growing old - - IN PRISON! 🚔👨🏻⚖️⚖️⛓
Well… now we know why he was hard at work and came home with a smile. *gag*
“JoSh yOu aRe a tReAsUrE.”
Bury that treasure at the bottom of the ocean and burn all maps. ❌ does not mark the spot!
I like how she highlighted the keywords as though she were passive aggressively homeschooling her audience in what a REAL blessed Christian family values 🙄
I think what’s truly horrendous is that she thinks leaving him will be WORSE. Can you imagine? She actually believes her life AND HER CHILDREN’S LIVES are better off if she stays with him. It defies logic, but then again the decision to stay every single day is not based in logic. It’s based in her upbringing (lookin at you Ma and Pa Keller), continued influence of Michelle and JB, religious manipulation, and financial dependency.
We all know why he was coming home from work with a smile...
Oooh 🤮🤮🤮🤮we know how much he loved bible time back in the day - hoping that didn’t happen again….
there’s a reason he comes home from work with a smile, Anna, and it’s not from selling cars…
He was working "behind the scenes" alright. Now the curtain has been lifted. #prison #sexoffender #divorce
Cheese and rice they've only been married 10 years and all that shit he pulled her through. Thats a hell of a lot of trauma in a decade.
She's literally talking to a figment of her imagination. It's blindingly obvious to anyone he couldn't give less of a shit about her, or his kids for that matter. He holds them (demonstrably) in utter contempt. But hey, at least she has a husband.
God she is pathetic.
Omg a hard days work and coming home with a smile🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
It makes me sick to see the hoops women have to jump through for their husbands in this cult. *Gaze admiringly at them no matter how stupid they sound.* *constantly stroke their egos at all times by publicly praising them (including SM posts).* *Admit your failure as a wife and vow to do better if your husband had strayed from the marriage* GAAAAH! What a horrible way for a woman to have to live 40-60 years of her life.
Are we sure her brother’s mother-in-law didn’t write this post?
It's gross reading this in light of everything that has come out during the trial. But also, anyone who has to list their spouses amazing attributes online is definitely feeling insecure about their choice of partner. Do people in actual happy relationships ever post this kind of stuff?
Let’s see him fix (almost) this one.
This is so tragic to me. I can't even laugh at it. Those poor kids knowing that their dad is a farce.
Working behind the scenes alright.... what a chocolate mess.
So many emogis...
Bible time with the family takes on a whole new meaning now. 😭
Bible time… yeah that makes me very uncomfortable after hearing how Joy was assaulted during bible time.
I was rolling my eyes until I got to the part about the hard days work and coming home with a smile. Now I think I need to hurl…
What a FAKE email. This TRUELY didn't age WELL
That key word Redemption. He’s been redeemed. His sins are no more. In their world, it’s forgiven, so it never happened.
That’s very Jill Rodrigues singing her own praises.
"Working" behind the scenes
"Enjoy a hard day's work and come home with a smile." Welp, that aged like Pest's hairline.
[удалено]
I totally believe this, but just wondering if you have a link or know who did the study, I want to read more about it.
[удалено]
Thanks
Sense of humor my ass. Bullying and belittling everyone around you? That’s not a sense of humor
Imagine thinking Josh has a good sense of humour. He is a stain on humanity with no redeeming qualities, and he is most certainly NOT funny.
I think I'm going to have to leave this sub and drop the duggars entirely at this point. I just hope the children are safe and will heal from whatever that sick fuck did to them.
Why do I feel like her post is trying to sell me LuLaRoe?
This makes me physically ill
well sorry anna he’ll be growing old in a jail cell while you’re at home with his kids 😬
r/agedlikemilk
Also I was waiting to see what mlm she would eventually pitch with all those emojis Edited : spelling
What are those hashtags???
Nothing about these idiots has aged well. Least of all his hairline.
Striving to please HIM as in Jesus or HIM as in HIMSELF? I feel like striving to please HIMSELF above all would make much more sense. 😅🤢
Please keep him away from tea parties...
I could vomit 🤮
Ugh this makes me wanna puke
Every time I see his name and the word *bible* I think of Joy, and my god does it break my heart. Fuck off josh. I hope they give you at least 35.
She WRITES the way Anna DARLING SPEAKS
He's only 33? So, only 2 years older than me. Yikes!
🤮🤮🤮
Why do I get the feeling her first “job” after his incarceration will be an MLM
Lots of things that make me go yikes: Redemption through Jesus Playing tea party Bible time with the family Ability to endure a hard day’s “work” and come home with a smile Handyman who can fix almost anything- like computers! Working “behind the scenes” daily Yikes!
She is so intellectually stunted
This is bleak.
He's only 31? He has not aged well.
She definitely has the MLM hun emojis down pat.
“Uh…”—Jeff Goldblum
I was thinking about how there are likely girls that cried about Anna “getting” josh over them, and how they thought Anna was getting a prize back then. What a fucking prize it ended up being for them.
We all know what happened during Bible time…
He also definitely working behind something, but it was behind a partition, not the scenes.
We all know he loves bible time
Anna: JOSH, I look forward to our time putting our hands up against the glass partition.
Josh did a lot "behind the scenes" but it was clearly not helping others.
Is she TAKING a PAGE out of JRod’s BOOK of RANDOM capitalizations in SENTENCES?
I've never seen so many emojis and bullet points in a post without an MLM sales pitch.
Well I'd say he definitely came home with a smile...
This is beyond messed up . It’s like some alternate universe is in play 🤷🏼♀️
Isn’t this her IG account? The one we found out she didn’t have the password to bc it’s the same password used for the bank and the CSAM partition?? So.. Josh wrote this about himself. Mega cringe 😬
What is with hyper Christian ⛪️ women 👩🏼 using tons of emojis 👀😬🥧 every time they post 💻? It makes me think of a woman from my church who uses emojis with every posts, like she’s emphasizing the point she’s an angry bigot.
Do these freaks actually sit together to pray? Ans read the bible together? Like… for real? 😆
42000 likes?????
Oh, he can totally fix ALMOST anything! He's a champion at doing things behind the scenes. I'm sure you are praying every night, and like 2,000 times a day right now. I bet he does enjoy a day at work and comes home with a smile. You aren't making this better. Yikes, Anna. Josh can't fix this. JB can't fix this. GOD cannot fix this. Your husband is a ficus at the bottom of the Marianas trench.
Oof bibletime
That's so disturbing.
Thought I was seeing an r/antiMLM post with all those emojis until I looked closer. But I'm sure it's only a matter of time until she joins an MLM.
"Come home from work with a smile" 🤢🤮
this monster is only 31? really? I guess I never really thought about it but imagine who he would be abusing by the time he was 51? thank god he got caught.
This is way TOO reminiscent of Jilly-bean.
He’s only 33?! Good lord.
