I agree... It is a sad state of affairs.
“You know this story begs the question, if this family knew how many others knew? How many others did not report it?”
And that is the reality of it. It is more common than one would think. Good folks hiding evil like this is historic. In all faiths.
One of the reasons I no longer trust “Church” and “Congregation”.
This was not about faith so much as it was about a damn TV show. Jim Bob wanted the money, fame and perks. His daughters were collateral damage to JB. As for their religion? That again was for the show, and power for Jim Bob. That family is a cult unto itself.
