Ashley Madison, a website which connects people who want to have affairs, was hacked, and millions of accounts and names were posted online.
Josh Duggar had two separate accounts with AM, and has paid nearly $1,000 to the site.
Today, he admitted to having an addiction to pornography and being unfaithful to his wife.
His statement on the Duggar Family blog: I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have been 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 have brought hurt and a reproach to my family, close friends and the fans of our show with my actions.
The last few years, while publicly stating I was fighting against immorality in our country I was hiding my own personal failures.
As I am learning the hard way, we have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. I deeply regret all the 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.

How sad...when you live in a false idyllic religious group, it's nearly impossible to admit your faults early on and get help

What makes you think any of this is "as it is presented"? Since when did TV become 'real'????
The whole thing is a REALITY TV SHOW. HELLO??? People, this is TV-LAND!!!!
Nothing happens on TV that isn't part of the PROGRAM. (There is a reason it's called TV 'programming'. Guess who's being programmed?)
So a TV star, the son of a POLITICIAN, is 'caught' visiting a 'cheat on your spouse' site... And he's all over the news? Cause he's the 'supposed to be ultra conservative Christian'?
WHO ELSE'S NAMES WERE HACKED AND RELEASED that nobody will ever find out about because all eyes are on THIS DUGGAR CLOWN?????
Ah.... pay no attention to the man behind the curtain... watch the right hand and don't you dare look over at the left hand...

Amen, go down the line and you will see that Ted Haggard got a huge amount of publicity in the secular eye "Jesus Camp" and in Richard Dawkins' documentary "Root of All Evil?" This was to get his image hot in the mind of the public, then blow him up in front of everyone, complete with crack smoking homosexual partner. The man behind the curtain, lost the curtain years ago. He is standing in plain sight and no one will do a thing about him. Actually, they sort of like him, they really like what he does. They don't want to admit that, but they still always drive slow past a bad car accident. They just mutter under their breath that they thank Jesus it wasn't them. As they do now. They thank God it wasn't them, and are happy to believe it is not them.
America has been kicking Jesus Christ out the front door for a long time now, and the chickens are coming home to roost.

makes no sense to me for Christians to get on TV. As soon as you establish what you stand for, those that hate you (which for Christians is the world they are projecting to) will seek to destroy you.
compound that with we are all sinners and you become an easy mark.

The TV show didn't make Josh watch porn or cheat on his wife. Nor is there some conspiracy against those who claim to be christians, but live an ungodly life.
"Be sure your sins will find you out." That is all this is about.
There will be more people found in the hack, such as the Executive Director of the GOP in Louisiana, who spent over a hundred dollars on the site. When asked about it, he said he didn't have an affair nor did he try to have one, he was simply conducting "opposition research!" Yeah, right!

I think the Ted Haggard thing was way too polished to be reality. Hey, did they find any Democrats in that list?

I didn't follow the Haggard thing.
Was Anthony Weiner set up? Twice? He was a Democrat. I'm sure there will be some Democrats in the list. People are still looking through it.
As Ferd posted, "As soon as you establish what you stand for, those that hate you will seek to destroy you." Republicans are known for family values, traditional marriage, etc. That's why it's blasted on the news whenever one of them has an affair or is caught in some sex scandal.

AW is doing what now?
