My question as well. Fits the democrat MO of eliminating any obstacle in their way by outing embarrassing information about an individual, or circumstances connected to anything or anyone, at the moment of some important usefullness to them. I have been curious from the first time I noticed this Dugger story about why there is the need to turn any poster who does not condemn the Dugger family along with the son, who at age 14 sexually imposed himself on his younger sisters, into a supporter of such behavior and the offender as well. IMO, the repeated condemnation of Josh Duggar for acts committed at age 14 ignores the life he has lived since that time as a productive member of society. Will there ever be redemption for him? And if there is such expressed sympathy for those he hurt, what is to be made of his own young children who will, and are, being forever hurt by this current national highlighting of admittedly serious offenses with family members. Where and what is the gain? Making ourselves feel morally superior because we do not offend in the same way? God help us all if we are to be forever locked in to the sins of our past. e
If Christ had encountered the Duggar boy on that same street that he encountered the prostitute...how would he have responded to him? I know we have Christ speaking of folks who should have better thrown themselves into the sea if they had hurt any of the little ones...but he spoke this in relation to folks who might hinder children to come faith in him(suffer the little children to come unto me for of such is the kingdom of heaven). Pedophiles and child rapists might be such a category if what they did to children hindered their coming to faith in Jesus!
There are some women freepers who have been attacked when younger and some who may have had past spouses who abused their kids or fathers who may have who may have molested them. Parents, especially mothers are going to be particularly sensitive. Some of the comments are quasi antichristian, attacking the Duggar’s faith and direct character...some from folks I’m quite surprised to see them do!(some I recognize from a few Catholic threads) I felt very strongly to at least raise a rather strong point of order with a few. I have a daughter who was raped by someone she knew and was she quite shattered by it in 2009. We’ve never had a chance to get justice because she would only speak of it to counselors. So I say this as an acknowledgment of the Victims’ feelings and of their confusion, sense of loss and shame. Now the victims and the younger Duggers who weren’t involved are going to hear the jibes and the nasty jokes from the pundits. They may lose friends. Josh’s life is destroyed and I fear for him if he has no deep root in his faith. God is really going to have to open a path for him because his previous life is over, with nothing but the cackles of the enemies of the faith tearing at the Duggars and American Christians in general.
I plan to double down though when I hear of attacks , especially from Christians who should know better. We don’t know everything that was done. As I said..why is this story breaking now? Who broke it and why?
