Josh Duggar Confesses to Cheating, ‘Porn Addiction': ‘I Have Been the Biggest Hypocrite Ever’
Mediaite ^ | August 20, 2015 | Matt Wilstein

Posted on 08/20/2015 11:22:58 AM PDT by maggief

EXCERPT

Read the full statement below:

I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became 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 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.

The last few years, while publicly stating I was fighting against immorality in our country, I was hiding my own personal failings.

As I am learning the hard way, we have the freedom to choose to our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. I deeply regret all 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. Josh Duggar

“Is he going to become a Democrat now?”

Given the lying, deception, etc, one would surmise that he already is.

. . . I became unfaithful to my wife. . . .

What kind of mealy-mouthed, passive admission is that???? This slimy dude needs to crawl under a rock with his fellow slugs.

...he became the first big celebrity name to be outed in the hack of Ashley Madison, a website that helps married people find sex partners.

Where are those who defended this guy? He molested his sister never got help. Forgiveness doesn’t mean one is cured.

Just hope he doesn’t molest his children.

It sounds like it's not his fault. He didn't commit adultery, he just "became unfaithful" to his wife. Big difference.

In good news for Josh, TLC gave him a new reality show... 19 Scandals and Counting. They expect big things.

Sexual attraction is a gift from God, but Satan has twisted this gift in his attack on man and families. Society winks at, and encourages, a twisted view of sex. As a result you get the Sodomite perversions declared as being 'normal', pornography addictions, abortions (a natural fallout of promiscuous behavior), broken families, feral youths running amok ... and Hollywood, society, and our vaunted Education system mocking God's standards, and declaring this all to be normal and mocking.

1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous.

God's way is the right way and the best ways. The other ways lead to hell on earth, and hell in eternity.

Prayers that Duggar can break Satan's grip, and provide healing for his family.

I wouldn’t have posted this unless Huckabee had weighed in.

No defense for Duggar, but is it surprising that out of many millions of names, his is the "first"? And that second, third, etc. etc will also be someone on the right while those on the left will be ignored?

“I deeply regret....that I got caught”

Preezaxctly!

(In my family’s lexicon, that is a mash up for the terms “precisely” and “exactly”)

I guess his last confession, admitting to sexually molesting his sisters and other underage girls and his “therapy” and asking for forgiveness from God didn’t “preezaxctly” work.

Their entire family is a cultish train wreck, and you could see it coming for years.
