Very true.
It’s the way it’s taught that seems weird. Orthodox Jews also have no touching before marriage rules. They also have lots of kids. I don’t think modesty leads to perversion. But jews don’t think children are too sexy to change diapers of.
I find it interesting and ironic that the only person shown to have taken the morally and ethically correct position on this was Oprah Winfrey.
The Good Samaritan indeed...
“Josh, has sexually abused at least five little girls as a teenager” Since the issue was expunged by court order how do you know. He wasn’t charged with a crime. You could say it like this Pubescent Josh explored differences between sexes with at least five pubescent girls. Girls go into puberty before boys.
Josh feel uncomfortable changing a baby girls diaper and I understand it right away. Baby defecates and sits on it and fecal matter gets shoved into every crevasse and if he doesn’t do a good job the baby suffers and mom is pissed.
This is gossip column written in a manner to think dirty and sleazy about the Duggar’s. By using a victim mentality they attack the curricula. Some girls like to kiss and pet because it’s romantic But if caught like to shift blame.
Seriously doubt they have 19 kids because they have more sex than other married couples. They have 19 kids because they haven’t been sterilized and don’t use birth control.
The police record has been destroyed but not before it made it all over the internet. He wasn’t arrested because the family kept it under wraps until a church member found a letter in a book detailing the incidences of abuse. Pubescent Josh put his hands on the breasts and genitals of his pre-pubescent sisters aged 4-12. Are you suggesting the 5 and 8 year olds were going through early puberty and thet were just exploring each other? It wasn’t consensual it was forcible. By the time it came to the notice of the police, the statute of limitations had run out. The police did interview the victims which is how we know who and how old. Names of minors were redacted but not the parents’. He had 5 younger girl siblings so a little math gives their ages.
You ought not rely on media for information. . I suggest that what ever happened did not rise to criminality as suggested by you and helped by other peoples imaginations as to what went on. There is no coverup because Juveniles confidentiality is by the law. If any of the girls involved is traumatized let them come out and say it. Don’t help the media screw some ones life up by dragging their name to the gutter of allegations and innuendo and triggering false memories. There is one judge and it is not you.
Josh confessed and repented.
That was my understanding as well.
Why would the family belong on a sex offender registry? That seems like judging them, in the sense that Jesus commanded us not to.
We don’t know them, but secular America hates them because they confess Jesus is Lord. Does secular America similarly hate the Kardashians?
I remember reading an article at a left-wing site, perhaps Alternet, years ago on the Quiverfull movement. The article was written with the presumption that it was introducing the Quiverfull movement to the left as something it hadn’t yet heard of. I believe it was before the Duggars’ show began. I don’t recall if the article even mentioned them but it might have. The left just about went out of their minds over Quiverfull, seeing such a movement as a real threat. They hated the thought of Bible-believing Christians having large families.
Putting a family in the limelight of an ongoing reality show doesn’t seem like a good thing to me, but I can’t speak with certainty on the Duggars’ decision. I’ve never seen the show, but just thinking what it might be like, they might have touched some people with their faith. The Lord has the answer and He’ll judge it, and them.
On what happened with Josh when he was young, from what we heard, I would imagine that the left would have approved of how they handled it if they were anyone but professing Christians. In fact, it might well not even have come to light if they weren’t.
8:01 p.m. EST tonight on NBC. Just about to turn off the TV, but catch the beginning of a sitcom. The first few jokes deal with male anatomy, including the “p” word. And that’s TAME by comparison to all the entertainment out there, which is made to shock, superficially, but which is actually underneath just about transgressing God’s rules and laughing about, a sort of “see, we went against God, and nothing happened, so He’s not there.” Does our entertainment today honor God? Or does it breed every sort of Satanic confusion?
It was not so long ago that young unmarried men and women had to be chaperoned when together. Then the liberals came along and said that was ridiculous, uptight overprotectiveness because men and women would of course behave themselves when left alone. And ever since that became the new normal, the left has pushed for nothing less than distributing birth control pills and making abortion accessible to elementary school students without their parents’ knowledge. That is their finish line.
Those who deny Christ never acknowledge how much they do to try to make living a life that honors God more difficult. They’ve devoted themselves to doing that, and it shows all around us.
Tell that to DH’s old Episcopal youth pastor how died during a homosexual sex game.
