>> The only evidence that he “became a new man” is the word of the Duggar family, and they are the ones who covered this up for over a decade while making millions off of their image as a wholesome, Christian family. So, pardon my skepticism. <<

Reminds me of why I refused to jump on the Newt bandwagon with the rest of the FR back in 2012, after Newt reinvented himself as a devout Catholic from Virginia.

I love the part about the victims forgiving him, says who? His dad, who covered it up?

This whole thing raises an issue that has been off limits, at least in threads celebrating the latest birth. When you have that many kids, how the hell can you watch them all and make sure they all get the attention they need? By the time Josh Duggar committed these crimes he was the eldest of 12, I believe. There is simply not enough time in the day. Before anyone reading this calls me anti-family or pro-abortion for saying this, do me a favor and stuff it.

And it’s yet another blow against so called “reality tv” aka fake garbage. Some of this shite on these shows is every bit as “real” as the episode of Star Trek where Janeway turns into a lizard and has tadpoles.

I am not without sympathy for Josh Duggar, he was a young man, God knows what he knew about sex at the time, he may not really be a pedophile (though I’ve heard it does manifest in the teen years). I’m not gonna call for his being strung up, but really, F articles like this. “Josh can be an ambassador on behalf of the abused” WTF?
