Prepare to say goodbye to TLC show “19 Kids and Counting.”

The family-centric reality show is being pulled from the network’s TV schedule one day after Josh Duggar issued an apology following molestation allegations, Page Six has learned.

It’s unclear if the network has made any permanent decisions regarding the show’s future but information about the show remains on the network’s site as of Friday.

“I didn’t read the article but I think he was 12 and the statute of limitations is up.”

He was 14 and there have been many 14 year olds charged as adults after being charged with a violent crime.

And, you may want to read up on Arkansas laws.

The statute of limitations on child molestation does not run out until the victim turns 28 years old.

Tick, tock, I bet Josh is watching that clock.

[Oliviaforever]

I want him to go before a jury of his peers.

Josh has 11 years on that clock right now. The youngest victim is STILL a minor at 17 right now.

And all this happened 13 years ago.

Hardly unsupervised teens investigating adult situations under the influence of hormones.

It could happen if the episode was filmed, but not aired, often on both a TV series DVD release or streaming online, they will air all completed episodes, even if the completed episodes were not aired. At least that is the case with several TV series I have on DVD and two which I watched on Netflix.

The police officer the Duggars talked with ended up being arrested for having child pornography in his possession.

[Black Agnes]

What do you propose we do with the current prison system?

Eliminate it altogether?

[dware]

Anyone who molests children is evil. It’s always good to call out evil for what it is.

I agree, on both accounts, which is why:

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23

That means ALL OF US are born of evil, so we may as well call us all out.

[arbitrary.squid]

True, but I have little worry people are going to talk about me this way because I’ve never gone around molesting children.

I’ve often wondered how the family supported themselves. Jim Bob never goes to work. They hint that he is involved in real estate but never really say what he does for a living.

More specifically, they say Jim Bob owns commercial real estate that he rents, at least one of which houses a cell phone tower. I own real estate also, and I do okay. But I'm not raising 19 kids on that income, either.

[AppyPappy]

I believe they supported themselves by having a TV show.

[dware]

And how do you have such a keen understanding of who is granted God’s Grace?

It's what happens when you begin reading and studying and applying the Bible.

Are there any other child rapists that you think should have God’s grace?

All of them are entitled to it.

[Guenevere]

Agree!
And the Kardasians and every other lowest common denominator type ‘reality’ show will roll on.
And people will watch the smut......and thank themselves lucky they got rid of the Duggars.

And when the reality show isn’t smutty enough, they can always go to Game of Thrones or Outlander for their jollies.

No one is excusing this young man, but what he did was done when he was 14!
Before you throw those stones, try to remember what you were doing....thinking....at 14.

[South40]

Not any longer.

[ncpatriot]

I don’t study the Bible and never have, but I thought original sin means we are born evil. Am I wrong? Are we born all good? Someone pls reply to this because I’m confused.

[dware]

True, but I have little worry people are going to talk about me this way because I’ve never gone around molesting children.

No sin is worse than another. They are all evil, and of Satan, and punishable by the same sentence: an eternity in the lake of fire. I'm sure you have committed sins in the past. I certainly have, and for that, I am sorely ashamed.

[Black Agnes]

I’m not aware that 14yr old boys becoming aroused by their 4yr old sisters is a ‘normal thing’.

This wasn’t ‘inappropriate behavior with a teen girl not related to him’. He fondled the four year old while she was in his lap being read to.

[bonfire]

Amen.

[stormer]

God may have forgiven him, but the good people of Arkansas might have other ideas.

[Jonty30]

That is my position. The Bible is very clear that once the offender has been dealt with, however he has been dealt with, none of us have a right to continually punish him.

He is allowed to carry on his life at that point as if he has committed no offense.

And his parents and family have dealt with him.

[dware]

but I thought original sin means we are born evil.
