Has everyone with a freakin’ reality TV show been sexually abused? Enough.

More of the current vogue. Look at me I have been molested, I’m gay, I’m trans-gendered, I’ve overlooked all the children in this country to adopt from Africa, man I’ll tell you there just aren’t enough maladies left to get one on the front pages anymore. Just crap from the start and continuing.

I’m sorry but that is not abuse.

I am not condoning young children experimenting with sexual curiosities but this is not abuse. It is two children who should have been under closer supervision but it is not abuse.

Gee is everyone just looking for an excuse to be a victim? I had higher hopes for the Robertson clan.

Must we all air out our past sins and those who have sinned against us?
Confession needs to be made to God and forgiveness sought.

I read his account. It sounded like childish experimentation to me as it was written.

I am not excusing molesting children by an adult in fact I would be for the removing of offensive parts from said mans anatomy. Probably, Lord forbid, if it was my child I would have to be restrained to not kill perp.

When I was in first grade back in 1964 a second grade girl came up to me in the play ground and asked me if I knew what Ellie May’s last name was.

I said “Clampett”.

And she did! That really hurt.

I could say it was sexual abuse but it wasn’t. It was a valuable lesson to think for a moment before answering a woman’s question and realize they are not all sweet and innocent.

Still, I’ve been divorced twice so I can say I have not figured out women at all.

The Robertson family uses their business including the shows for their ministry. All of them but one {Jase} dealt with some pretty rough issues either as kids or adults. To minister is also to teach how to heal and overcome what you have faced. Even Si gives a good testimony which can be found on YouTube.

The Duck Call business is obviously doing great. Before Duck Dynasty they did hunting and fishing shows as I understand it for Outdoor Channel.

The Robertson family is an example of GOD's Grace and them allowing GOD to use their talents including the Redneck humor to witness for HIM. Most posters likely have only seen the show. They do appearances giving testimony before others as well. Again they all can be found free on YouTube.

I can't understand the flames posters are doing to the family. If you want to minister to others to help them then would it not make logical sense that the person would have to talk about it?

The eldest son whom is the preacher had serious marital problems and he talks of forgiveness. He was the one who forgave. Phil's testimony most know about. Si? His son was diagnosed as a child with a serious mental issue in his early childhood {Ausphegers}. That illness was leading to self destruction. Today that son is career Army. Even their friend Mountain Man the one who acts dumb has his testimony he gives. The Lord found him while they were filming the show. The assembly line episode with the canoe taping was the night of his Baptism after filming was over.

They have money and likely plenty of it. Willies wife is part of the Howard publishing company and the family owned Howards department store.

Phil it seems as much as possible on the show tries to get a message out to younger audiences and others who have gone down the road he went and not yet found The Lord. He makes no excuses that what he did was wrong rather he focuses on salvation.

Jeb didn't see most of his dads prior behavior like the other boys did. Yet what he went through in the event he describes obviously severely disturbed him likely with a lot of guilt that wasn't his but lead to some destructive behavior within himself.

Their show is the only one on A&E left I bother to watch. The family seems pretty open to telling their own problems and use it in their testimonies. As such I have no issue nor see a wrong in it.

On the other hand I'm very sick and tired of Bruce Jenner Threads where the media is glorifying blatant evil. Huge difference. To whom does the Robertson's give the glory?
