Eight years ago, Alice gave a thorough and detailed account of events that are nearly identical to those outlined in the police report that became public this week:
"In January, the whole family went to Chicago and taped Oprah Winfrey show... As you may have noticed, that show never aired and it never will," Alice posted before delivering the bombshell that The Oprah Winfrey Show staffers had been told that Josh had molested five minor girls. Alice then wrote, "Yes, this is the truth ... They have been investigated to some length..."
On the subject of Josh's parents Jim Bob, 49 and Michelle, 48, Alice wrote "They have lied and lied about their son to protect him... In my eyes he is a CHILD MOLESTOR. HE SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE HOME."

The youngest was about 4, and the others were approximately 9 through 12 years of age.
It will be a godly lawyer for sure.
Is this a catty statement?
People does not make the news it just reports it.
Yea good “Christian” values. Kid breaks the law and gets off scott free because his dad has political connections. Plus their messed up religion tells them to “blame the victim and the victims parents” see another thread for that gem. You call that Christian? I call that Islam!
Of course. If they did nothing wrong, they don’t need a lawyer.
I was told 18m to 2yrs. Don’t know where you got your source. was told only girl he not molest was sister closest to his age, the one that left the family.
People who have been slipping and sliding in their private life, and aren’t promptly getting it right with God when they do, love it when they see a scapegoat fall. This appears to be more of the same.
In the meantime the actual love of the Lord, which can more than heal the harm done by this kind of sin and even more, is standing jilted on the side.
For shame!
>>Dilbert San Diego
>>I think he is two years older than the older Duggar daughter. So the girls he molested would have been in the age range of between 5 and 12, when these events happened.
>>Morgana
>>The girls were 18m to 2yrs. He was 14.
The whole internet is oddly vague about this.
More cattiness, O one without sin?
Ha. Physician heal thyself. That’s also a good one.
I’ve not read too much about the actual charges about what he did.
I guess I am kinda dumbfounded that the Duggar Family agreed to do the TLC show with this lurking in the background. Did they think this would never become public?
It is hard to know the truth in something like this. The MSM outlets reporting this will omit information and paint it in the worst possible light.
Nay, you are the ones mired in such legalism they cannot see the heart of the Lord. Nobody is talking about “excusing” anything; sin must be repented. Flash: nobody in this world is without sin.
It might actually apply with great accuracy to you, and not in the context Jesus quoted it.
Frankly, I didn’t/don’t give two shits about the Duggars, but the hypocritical belief system they use to justify their behavior deserves a little daylight.
I was actually giving that to you to use against me.
lol
What hypocritical belief system? Look at your own self.
Well when the shoe fits, wear it. You surely would not wish to be a hypocrite would you?
Thank you for spouting platitudes.
Not that there is either any empathy for other human beings nor intellectual knowledge of the damage these events cause in children apparent in your posting, but you do pump out arrogant quips. The guys around the water cooler must love you. Or not.
Often God works through suffering.
Prayer doesn’t promise a quick fix and sometimes the and newer is no. These girls are going to have suffering that they won’t understand for decades.
You make it clear that from your perspective the girls aren’t entitled to much consideration (and indeed the post I am responding to cannot be interpreted intellectually in any other way as the damage to the girls was my entire point) but a lot of the rest of us sympathize with the kids.
They continued to pump out babies after this incident without improving their parental skills. The older kids had to take care of their own siblings while the parents sought the limelight and sponsorships.
One thing I am definitely not is a hypocrite.
You should look up the Gothard stuff they use and support. It’s sort of over the top.
