Michelle Duggar

If you know anything about the Duggar family, you're probably familiar with their bizarre courtship rules.

These are the infamous restrictions that prohibit virtually all forms of physical contact between the sexes prior to marriage.

Normally, by this point in the summer, the Duggars would be planning trips and filming Counting On at Jim Bob's palatial home in Tontitown, Arkansas.

But this year, they're focusing the entirety of their energy on Josh Duggar's arrest and upcoming trial.

Following his arrest and bond hearing, Josh Duggar was released and is now living under strict bond conditions.

That meant that Mother's Day celebrations were out of the question, even if anyone was in the mood for them.

Following 24 hours that have shocked communities across Northwest Arkansas and the country, the Duggar family has broken its silence.

On Friday afternoon, various members of this famous and polarizing household reacted to the most damaging and disturbing scandal to date involving their family:

Well, this is something you don't see every day.

In fact, we can't remember the last time that the entire Duggar family posed for a photo!

Life within the Duggar family often seems baffling.

But rarely is it confusing in this very specific way.

It's impossible to enter into a discussion about the Duggar family without mentioning the very particular set of religious beliefs and customs that dominate most of their waking hours.

The family's ultra-conservative views have been a top focal point for both fans and critics, with the former praising the Duggars for their piety, and the latter condemning them for their archaic views.

If you know anything about the Duggars, you know that they're obsessed with sex.

That may sound like a strange thing to say about a family that's known for its strict courtship rules and its ultra-conservative brand of evangelical Christianity.

Back in November, Jinger Duggar welcomed her second child, a daughter named Evangeline.

The birth was unlike most Duggar deliveries in a number of significant ways.

For over a year, the feud between Derick Dillard and Jim Bob Duggar has been raging non-stop and forever altering the way fans look at their favorite family of fundies.

What started out as a battle over Counting On earnings has developed into a clash of core values that threatens to tear the Duggar family apart.

Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar aren't having a great couple weeks.

First, daughter Jill gave an in-depth interview to People Magazine in which she hurled her parents under the bus, alleging they stole money from her and controlled her life to an abnormal and unhealthy extent.

It is, officially, all out in the open now.

For many months, the Internet was forced to speculate on where things stood between Jill Duggar and her parents, Jim Bob and Michelle.

17-year-old Justin Duggar seems on the verge of marriage to Claire Spivey.

His big sister Jinger has provided some insight into how Michelle and Jim Bob "encourage" their children to court and get married ASAP.

Josh Duggar is a bad man.

And we don't mean that he parks in front of fire hydrants or steals his co-workers' lunches out of the break room fridge.
