The shameful revelations about reality star Josh Duggar, 27, kept on coming until network TLC had no choice but to cancel his family’s hit show 19 Kids and Counting.
But child molestation and adultery accusations have not stopped the network going in for another bite of that cherry.
Its latest foray into the world of the Duggars Jill & Jessa: Counting On finds our evangelicals doing what they do best: procreating and praying.
Josh Duggar’s long-suffering wife Anna Duggar, 27, features in the latest episode. She speaks about how her husband’s long line of issues from child molestation to porn addiction and infidelity affected her.

It “was definitely a hard thing” to go through, she said of learning that her husband had molested his sisters as children, been cheating on her through Ashley Madison and had sex with a porn star.
“I think it is such a betrayal for a spouse to go through what we’re walking through,” said the mother-of-four through tears.

I feel for anna, trapped in a cult, mo outside help
Dare say they layimg blame for his actions on her not servicing him enough
Just wanting to put it out there that the Bible says that it's acceptable to divorce when one partner has been unfaithful (Matthew 19:9).
Wishing Anna the best of luck and hoping that, when she's ready, she can see that there ARE decent men out there that will treat her the way she deserves.
Can I ask if this is the case why does the Catholic Church still not allow divorce (they only have annulments which are very limited). And why up till recent times did our British based legal system not allow divorce? And why did the churches until recently not allow or highly discourage divorces?
When I say recent times, I mean that it has only been the last 100 off years that divorce has been obtainable for ordinary people, and even up till the 70s (when they finally brought in no fault divorce laws) it was hard to obtain. I think being able to divorce based on unfaithfulness in the British system was only brought in around mid to late 1800s (though the rich often managed divorces before then) and yet the bible has been around for 2000 years!
Considering all of this I'm just a little dubious that what you are quoting is the ultimate authority for people to get a divorce when most of the churches were against divorce. I'm gathering they were using another part of the bible to back up their position?
