Our statement reguarding Josh's trial outcome!

We are going to be harsh with this statement because there is no downplaying when it comes to C.P.

Josh, you need some help. When you are in federal prison make sure that you get that help. You need major HELP! You also need to take ownership of what you have done with this.

As a victim of child sexual assault, I know what it feels to feel hurt and anger and trust me this case has brought up some painful memories from it. 

I pray that Josh gets enough time that he can think about his actions. 

I pray that Anna will get the help that she needs to take care of her seven children. The children are going to need therapy and Anna you need to do it. You need to put your children first after all that they have gone through. They do not need this pain and suffering at the hands of their father.

Duggar family issues a statement

After TLC's announcement of Counting On cancelation, The Duggar family has issued a statement. We have a brief statement that we would like to share with you all. We will also encourage you to read the rest of the statement on their website by clicking here.

It is hard to believe that more than 17 years have passed since we were first contacted by a production company wanting to do a one-hour documentary about the logistics of raising 14 children. Our family has grown (and grown up!) before our eyes and on national television, and the journey has been miraculous—following God is an exciting adventure!

Our Statement about Josh's arrest

 We are deeply saddened by the news of Josh's arrest. We know that this is hard time for Anna and the kids following his arrest. We also know that this is hard for Josh Duggar however we wish that he would have gotten help. 

It was surprising because following Meredith's birth, Josh went to rehab for addicted to porn and now he is facing 20 years and will not be able to see his children or wife.

We pray for God's mercy on Josh and that he is able to understand what he (assumed) wrong was not okay.

With that being said, we do have an announcement to make. We have decided to take a break from posting about Josh, Anna, and the children. We are not sure if Anna will be on instagram for a while or when we will be back with posting about the children or Anna.

We will be posting about the boys birthdays in June and Meredith's birthday in July.

Duggars respond to raid rumors

Yesterday the media announced that law enforcement had raided the Duggar family home however it's not true.

Jim Bob and Michelle posted on the Facebook page.

We were shocked to see a news report today state that our home was raided by federal law enforcement agencies. This is not true. To the best of our knowledge, it’s also not true that any member of our family is the target of any investigation of any kind. Living a life in the public’s eye has taught us that it is best not to reply to every rumor and piece of “fake news” that is circulated online. It would be a full-time job if we attempted to do so. However, because of tonight’s media coverage we thought it is important to address this rumor with you. Thank you for the love and support that we can always count on in you our fans and friends.

Update on Anna

Many have asked how I am doing. So many have asked that it's actually humbling and touching. 2015 was the most difficult year of my life. Yet, amazingly I’ve found that in my own life crisis God has drawn near to me ("He’s near to the brokenhearted” Psalms 34:18) and my faith has been more precious to me than ever before.

Anna Duggar

Just recently I visited Josh. It was an important step on a long difficult road. I want to thank all of you for your prayers and your messages of hope. I can never express how your kindness and prayers have brought encouragement when I needed it most—outpacing the grief and discouragement at every turn.

I trust that God will continue to show His love and tenderness toward us and bring beauty from ashes—somehow—as only He can do. Please continue to pray for me, Josh and our children.”
