LOL, I think it was justified and I don’t miss him one bit. I still don’t think I needed therapy. I knew I did nothing wrong, he was a pervert.

6 paragraphs until author gets to the point about Hillary. Some of this is written like street slang. For example, "McLovin" what does that mean? Does he need to use curse words like cr@p? Does it add anything to the discussion, does it make a point?

If the intent is to be cute, Dave Barry has that covered. If the intent is to make a point about Josh Duggar, he lost me.

Ok, rant off. This author might speak to different folks, just not making the connection here!

Seriously???

YOU completely missed the boat on that one. I suppose that a murderer can’t be 14? Or a thief? Etc?

Forgot to add that perhaps I should go back to my old Prosecutors office and ask them to expunge the records of, or release, the FEMALE pedophiles I prosecuted? Adult males only? You can’t be serious.

That is a completely different scenario. If a 14 year old commits a crime of killing someone and not in self defense, or robs a store, he is old enough to know better and I am glad the courts are finally waking up and treating them as adults.

Besides Josh went voluntarily into treatment which he paid for himself.

SHAME ON YOUR HYPOCRISY.

You really need to crawl back under your rock from which you crawled out from. You sound exactly like the liberals, who are nothing but hypocrites

BTW your name is nothing but a laugh. You are anything but right ward

You are dead wrong. Period.

Really sad that you can’t see what is right in front of your face. Someone says “I’m a Christian” and you take it at face value. That is an ENORMOUS problem.

I’m gonna keep pointing out the hypocrisy of these people who claim to be what they clearly are not.

The fact that you have resorted to name calling as your only point now speaks volumes. I took a strong stand on a point but never started calling you names. Wanna talk about what Libtards do? They defend the indefensible. EXACTLY what you are doing. But hey, whatever helps you sleep[ at night.

Pity Admin doesn’t have an ignore feature as you would be the first I would ever put on there.

I never said I would have an abortion.

They actively tried to get pregnant even while they were dealing with a huge issue in their family.

He was old enough to know what he did to his 4 year old sister was wrong.

The parents did not do enough to protect his sisters.

I don’t care if they don’t get hand outs from the government.

In all honesty I ask. Can these people be redeemed. Not on a spiritual Christian level but on a societal level? I have never known anyone who has done such things.

Have you ever known a woman who killed her unborn child by volunteering for an abortion, or a man who encouraged her or paid the blood money ?

I’m the type that would protect my daughters.

I’m also the type that would really try to help my son.

Getting him out of the situation where he has temptations. I would also get him counseling.

I would encourage him not to have children because he has issues in that area. I would make sure his spouse knows about his past. If he does have children, that puts me in a sticky position. How do I know my grand kids are safe?

I would also be very remorseful for the harm I did to my children.

If he would have been caught outside his home, he would have gone to juvenile detention and registered as a sex offender.

I think there is a middle ground.

I think helping him not repeat his actions is the loving thing to do.

I would never go on TV and have a reality show.

How does him paying for his own treatment have any relevance? Is that some sort of demonstration of the level of his repentance?

It would open my eyes that I’m not doing enough to protect and raise the kids I have.

I stopped having kids after I had a special needs kid. It took so much time. I’ve always felt my other kids didn’t get enough from me. I knew it when they were little, and we’ve talked about it since they are adults. Having more kids would have been worse. (I love my special needs kid. She’s a doll, and all the extra work has paid off! She couldn’t talk until she was 5, and now she’s going to college.)

If my kid did something like Josh, I would think there is work to do in my family with my existing kids. It’s hard to just be pregnant. It just seems like the parents are more concerned about the number of kids instead of the quality of life of those kids.

Outstanding perspective by Doug Giles.

Having seen a few episodes, I’m profoundly struck by the extraordinary kindness Michelle shows when correcting her kids’ bad behavior.

Anyone who claims they have too many kids to parent them conscientiosly has probably never watched the show.

A neighbor of ours half-jokingly called his oldest daughter “the first pancake” - the one you throw away - because she had a horrid temper and disposition. The Duggars’ “ first pancake” has had an unimaginable impact on not only their family and future, but very possibly on our next presidential election if we don’t get some perspective on this.

Thank you, Doug Giles.

“Besides Josh went voluntarily into treatment which he paid for himself.”

Josh paid for his treatment to cure himself of being a sexual predator?

Who was the doctor?

Was Josh cured of his proclivity or fondle prepubescent relatives?

Soooooo, you don’t believe in Redemption and you would send your SON to detention and have him be listed as a SEX Offender.....even though there was no SEX involved?? As I asked you....what kind of Christian are you?

Let me get this straight.

If a 14 year old boy from your neighborhood, who you believed to be Christian, fondled the vaginas of four of your prepubescent daughters, you would not want him listed as a sex offender?
