Ah, I didn’t know that, none of the stories I read had any specifics about the victims other than that two were his sisters. That is quite troubling then.
In answer I believe 4 were his sisters. The other was a relative or friend not living at the same address. That information can be gleaned from the police report.
This is not directed to you Boogieman but just everyone in general.
While some in the media and on the left are happy to take this family down I don’t believe any conservative here takes pleasure and glee in the fact that this has happened to the Duggars. I only feel sorry for his sisters however. He has damaged more than his family namely the pro-family group he worked for, and the Christians, conservative politicians who had their photos taken with him and home-schoolers who will be painted with the same brush and called hypocrites.
The show did need to come off the air. No one to blame for that but the Duggars themselves. I would be happy to never hear about them again. But to take some kind of pleasure in this? I don’t think so. Disgust and horror maybe. Sadness and anger.
The Lord works in mysterious ways and perhaps some good will come of this. Maybe his wife will be more watchful with two little girls in the house, the spouses of the newly married and future married Duggars would be wise to forego asking Uncle Josh to babysit and God forbid, if any of this is still occurring (we don’t know that for sure) more light is now focused on this family and it will stop and they will get real help. Maybe prevent any unknowing victims to put their trust in Josh and leave their children unattended with him. Would it be better for them or for Josh if no one ever knew?
It is a harsh reality for them all. The victims are further victimized by the publicity and other family members may feel shame. But the truth is that Josh is responsible for what has happened to his family and no one else.
Josh was supposedly raised in a Christian family and at the age of 14 I am sure that he was well aware that what he did was wrong. I was raised in a Catholic family, went to Catholic grade school and surely by that age, if not long before that, I would know that it was a sin and wrong.
