Tip of the iceberg. Just like the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
There will be many more shoes to drop.
I hear a moat is going in next month.
I do not watch reality shows or even modern, post 1970 sitcoms/movies, but they seem like a nice family, a nice Christian family.
They apparently dealt with this some years ago. Mike Huckabee took flack for defending this family, seems he did the right thing, ant the knee jerk reaction by others against them was very inappropriate.
We fight against Principalities and Powers, satan is real and can and will attack those that are trying to serve Christ.
Yes we are supposed to overcome because Christ has already defeated the devil, but... The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
They seem very nice, we inherit a wicked lower nature.
Not meant in a bad way but WOW the girls are truly beauty`s
These people need to be investigated and prosecuted. Christians my a**.
I thought people protecting child molesters were hated but if they claim to be Christians thats ok? Never thought I would see freepers defending such people.
Designing a house for a family with 19 children with separate wings, one for the boys and one for the girls, with the master bedroom between makes perfect sense to me.
Caught a glimpse of these people Fox tonight...turned it off. The Duggars make my skin crawl.
1 coin, 2 sides.
Side 1
Josh Dugger is a molester. Once a person commits these crimes, he should be put away for life. There is no reforming them.
Jim Bob and Michelle should be put in jail for covering it up, not reporting it to the police and leaving the other children exposed to be molested, too.
They are evil people, frauds, not Christians.
Side 2
Josh Dugger confessed to his parents what he had done.
The parents sought help for their son. They took what they deemed to be prudent measures to insure it didn’t happen again.
The parents reported this to the police (some say very late).
Josh Dugger has not denied or hidden what he did. OF Course, he didn’t parade it around in public.
He told his fiancé about it before the were married.
Both “sides” of those facts are essentially correct. Perspective and motive determine to a great degree which side you fall on.
The Christian haters are rabidly trying to devour them.
The friends and apologists are defending them.
Some of us are stuck somewhere in the middle.
I know nothing of this show or most other reality shows. It appears though, they did turn the kid in voluntarily when made aware of his transgressions. They profess to be Christians and are probably targeted just like the Duck Dynasty family by the left.
I don’t see the significance of this. Even if they did so what? Its pretty typical in large families to segregate boys and girls and not mainly because of cases of inappropriate behavior because there wasn’t any “molestation” in any real sense that occurred. There was some inappropriate touching by underage kids but that isn’t entirely uncommon. The Duggars clearly took actions to deal with it and I don’t think the family should have to face the microscope now that it is long behind them. Josh now has a family of his own and appears to be a good Dad. Many of those trying to crucify him had absolutely no problem with an 19 year old cheerleader having a lesbian relationship with a 14 year old. Also with a little googling we can find all kinds of sorlid behavior of young hollywood types and political kids. The guy appears very repentant and has bore the cost of his mistake several times over now and I think its well past time to stop piling on this family. Lets be thankful the behavior was caught when it was and dealt with. His parents could’ve went the liberal way and affirmed his touching as natural and good and something that he shouldn’t be ashamed of ya know cause he was ‘born that way’.
I think I read that Josh has four kids of his own? Who is looking out for them?
OMG!!! “Looks like” IS NOT THE SAME THING AS “intended to”.
Someone takes how something looks and draws their own conclusions for the reasons, the motives for why it looks as it does. We have descended into stupidity.
With as many kids as the Duggers have, I can think of plenty of reasons why they might design the home as they did, like - with mom and dad’s room in the middle, it makes for equal access by mom and dad to either the boys or the girls, and equal access to mom and dad for the the girls or the boys, and with lots of tiny tots that would be helpful; with so many boys and girls you can bet there is a “boys” bathroom and and “girls” bathroom, and with 19 kids and their bedrooms and bathrooms NOT next to each other, getting-up-in-the-morning traffic will be a hell of a lot easier; and I could go on.
When people hate people like the Duggers they just have to find justification to continue that hate, no matter what.
