Jim Bob Duggar speaks on porn addiction.

In 2018, Jim Bob and Michelle spoke during a seminar about secret sin. In the short clip, Jim Bob avoids admitting one of his own secret sins. He goes on to talk about how people become “slaves” to inappropriate content online.

While he talks about porn addiction, he also offers some pieces of advice to the audience. One suggestion he makes is “fasting.” He says that this will help if you have become “captivated” by the inappropriate content. Katie points out that fasting is a piece of advice that comes from Bill Gothard, who is the founder of the IBLP. He claims that fasting is a way to cure “s*xual immorality.”

Also during the seminar, Jim Bob talks about these kinds of activities being “detrimental” to a marriage. He claims that this is a way to “steal” from your future spouse. So, he reminds the audience that these things should be saved for marriage.

Interestingly, this video surfaced just a month after Jim Bob’s eldest son, Josh Duggar, was found guilty of two child porn charges.
