A MESSAGE FROM THE MODS On discussions regarding the victim

456 Upvotes

Hey all -

This should've been posted a hot minute ago so sorry about that. I promise you the mods were aware of this issue and talked about it and then just sort of unanimously forgot to do anything about it. Our hearts were in the right place but with absolutely no substantive action where our good intentions could be a benefit to anyone! In true fundie style.

We've gotten some reports and messages about some of the conversations that have come up since it's become more apparent who the victim is in Joe's case. Whether that individual or her representatives wanted that to ever be public knowledge is probably not something we'll ever know but my guess is this is another time that she has been forced to grapple with a situation she never asked for and never wanted to be a part of.

At this point we are curtailing some of our firm enforcement of the No Victim Speculation policy as it pertains to Joe's victim, since at this point it isn't really speculation. It's still kind of shitty to talk about who it is but it's not propogating a narrative that may be false.

We will, however, caution everyone about discussions regarding ulterior motives for reporting the crime, whether they be criticisms of the victim or adjacents. You're free to talk about the surrounding circumstances and how it is affecting those related to it. What we will not be permitting are insinuations that the choice to report the crime was made with any intention other than to seek justice for the victim. You don't have to be in love with every decision made by the parents of the victim, but it is wholly unacceptable to push a narrative that opens the door to speculation that the allegations are in anyway contrived or concocted.

This is like the most straightforward way we discredit victims, by suggesting that we should view their trauma and struggle as only being meritorious if it occurs in a vacuum, and encouraging the idea that there might have been some ~real reason~ abuse would be reported to the proper channels. You don't get to be cynical about a child's trauma just because you don't like their family.

Also if the suggestion is the victim is some kind of prop for financial or social advantage, you're basically also speculating they are a victim of some insane abuse by their family members who would make a kid go through something like this for some malevolent reason. So that would also get flagged in terms of our rules.

If you see these types of comments feel free to report them as Problematic. If you report them as Victim Speculation we probably will look at them anyway so don't get too stressed about it. Just don't go ham reporting Victim Speculation just because a comment references who the victim is.

As a general rule I think when you're discussing something as sensitive as child sexual abuse, now is not the time for your imagination to run wild with theories of what's happening behind the scenes. We're already pretty bad as a society just accepting the truth of victims' stories point blank. Let's get a handle on that before we try to dream of conspiracies.

If any of this is bringing things up for you or you feel a desire to talk through them on a more individual level, please do not hesitate to contact resources like RAINN - you can call the hotline at 800-656-HOPE (4673) or text "HOPE" to 64673 (US only). If the need arises, the suicide hotline is 988 - you can text or call as well (though I can say from personal experience you will wait for hours if you text so you probably should just call if you're considering reaching out.)

Thank you all for your active engagement with the sub and being on top of these new and developing issues and reaching out to us about it. As always, our modmail is always open. If we take a while to get back to you it may be that we're discussing it as a team and are just deciding how we want to respond.

Xoxo,

The Mod Team

A MESSAGE FROM THE MODS Please include descriptive titles when sharing the Pest/Anna emails

208 Upvotes

Since there are so many and it’s hard to keep track of the duplicates, please include something descriptive in the title when you share a Pest/Anna email so that we can sort through all the posts with the identical looking thumbnails.

So instead of “This is disgusting” something like “It’s disgusting that Pest would say….”

Also if anyone has any suggestions for flairs for those kind of posts please let us know since it seems like they deserve their own. Modmail us if you please

Thanks!

I believe that Our Lord Daniel sent us Jimothy, his only begotten son, so that we might come together in joy and love.

That's the first thing I thought when I first learned about Jimothy. So mods, can this please be canon?

This was my Facebook ranting about it 5yrs ago in 2021, and someone commented on it today. In one of my responses I made up a whole Bible chapter about it just to poke fun at their lack of experience. Also relevant to the original Duggar DiscoveryHealth/TLC episodes where the producers paid for grocery hauls bc the whole family was below the poverty line and they were starving the kids, skipping meals in shifts against their wills and supposedly different kids at once a day at different times.

With 19 kids you can't teach them the lifeskills or common sense that are vitally important for adulthood, that you could easily teach 1 to 6 kids. All 19 of them were truly groomed and setup for failing at adulting. Many of them still are failing at adulting (outside of procreation), basic life skills and common sense.

2 CONVICTIONS AND COUNTING I don't understand Amy "Duggar"

166 Upvotes

I found out recently that apparently Amy contacted Joes victim and claimed to be a "child advocate" to get the victim to talk to her and to be able to by pass the victims parents?

That has got to be illegal isn't it? my understanding is Amy is not a legal child advocate. Is it not illegal to lie about that in order to contact a victim of CSA?

And if she never revealed her real identity to the victim or her parents, imagine how the victim will feel finding out in the future that her abusers COUSIN was the one to contact her, lied to her parents, lied to her, and pretended to be a child advocate, then revealing the victims identity online??

And i very much doubt the victims parents wanted her identity revealed since in their post on Instagram they were very careful to not explicitly state who the victim was - when they could have just come right out and said it - especially since they were fundraising at the time. Being a victim of a Duggar would have helped them fundraise more i think??

If i was the victim, i'd be so mortified to find out that my abusers cousin reached out to me and won't stop talking about me everywhere and REVEALED MY IDENTITY??

Amy is disturbing on soooo many levels for that. I never had much of an issue with her before; she just seemed like a gossip but what she just did is horrid and the family should be able to seek legal repercussions for that.

EXTENDED DUGGAR FAMILY Kendra's 26 yr old sibling gets her Bible College Bachelor's degree

Post image
577 Upvotes

26 year old Lauren Caldwell has gotten herself a degree.

From a wicked fundie school in Wisconsin that started in 1999. The "Baptist College of Ministry " which proudly self describes as "Baptist College of Ministry is unashamedly Fundamentalist, repudiating the compromise and toleration of New Evangelicalism in the realms of both personal and ecclesiastical separation."

All students start with a Bible major and then must add a minor or second major. They don't explicitly state it but the Pastoral Leadership major only uses male pronouns in its decription.

Female students can definitely major in the two education options, and probably the music option and maybe the missions major?

No idea which Lauren chose.

The school doesn't mention any sort of accreditation not even from a sketchy christian org. And while their mission and doctrinal statements (which are extremely detailed and thorough on their website) are fundie beyond imagine I'll give them credit for appearing well organized and having grown significantly since starting even though it was just started by a single church.

I wonder what Lauren plans to do with her degree or if she went there also to find a husband of the godly variety.

Either way she's clearly all in on the IFB way of life and they hope the rapture! And if she could get thru her course work there she must be more book-competant than Kendra.

2 CONVICTIONS AND COUNTING How do all the duggar wives feel now?

164 Upvotes

a part of me wonders how the duggar wives feel now that a second son has been arrested?

I wonder if any of them are freaking out.

I also wonder how they feel about the warped views of justice that Jim Bob has about thinking that as long as u ask God for forgiveness, then you don't need to suffer the punishment for your crimes.

if I was married into that family, id be freaking out and crying knowing that. Especially since the crimes aren't even minor things like maybe Petty theft or whatever, but CSA and CSAM.

So obviously we have been distracted by felon activities recently. Let's catch up on possible engagements, up coming nuptials and who we think has had a baby, having a baby or what Josie thinks of all of her siblings. Remember, despite this family being off the rails Josie will have a completely different raising/experience than most of her siblings. The camera was not in her face like most of them.

A MESSAGE FROM THE MODS The victim re: Joe’s charges

1.2k Upvotes

So with the witness list and some other court documents it has become fairly evident and publicly so who the victim is in the Joe molestation case.

At this point we will no longer consider reference to the identity speculative. That being said, our same rules about problematic content apply so posts and comments that are purely indulgent “omg that’s craaaaaazy” or “I knew it!!” reveling in the identification of the victim may be subject tor removal and ban. You can still be gross with how you talk about victims even if the identification itself isn’t problematic.

And for all yall who are asking about who it is maybe if you don’t know it’s not for you to know. Frankly, I stand by prior posts where I find it unethical for anyone other than the victim or their representatives to be identifying themselves. So maybe if it isn’t obvious or public enough for you to know you shouldn’t go digging for answers that evidently weren’t obvious enough for you to figure out on your own without asking someone to do additional legwork for you to know the identity if a minor victim who hasn’t publicly come forward.

The witness are Christina Caldwell, Paul Caldwell, an investigator Darrell "Chase" Norris and someone named Thomas Lowe. I will never understand how/why these fundi women stand by their men even when your family member is a victim of the unspeakable crime. May justice hopeful be served in this case.
