“With all the clintons wrong doings, the Middle East on fire, China working on starting WW3 by claiming territory that isnt theirs, along with all the other things going on in the world, and Fox news does an hour special on them?”
Are you saying Fox News can’t chew gum and rub their collective tummies at the same time? Are you saying Fox doesn’t devote the majority of their program time talking about world issues and domestic politics that in a 24/7 environment, they can’t devote one lousy hour to this topic? Geez. Do you have some kind of insatiable appetite for news regarding beheadings by Muzzies, and our economy tanking?
I for one watched this program with interest, and I must have seen a different program from so many of the attack jackals infesting this thread, as I thought the parents of the kid made rational decisions as best they could considering the youth of all their family members and the youth of the perp who was 13 going on 14 when the incidents began, 12 years ago, mind you. Parents lean toward protecting their flock, all of them.
I guess you don’t believe in any form of redemption or just plain old growing up to regret one’s youthful mistakes. What a bunch of hard*sses here. Let he who is without sin throw the first stone. Geez. The oldest boy, now a young married man with a wife who loves him, has turned his life around, regretted his actions, and which were not criminal rape mind you but inappropriate touching; he must be horrified that his juvenile records were illegally leaked out by a police chief who knew better and had her own agenda, mark my words. Josh’s sisters long ago forgave him, they are now out there defending him, and they too are horrified that records they thought would never see the light of day, have.
I just love the reaction and sanctimonious attitudes here, like a pack of wolves pouncing on old, no longer red meat. Many of the people attacking the Duggars on this thread and elsewhere creep me out as much as this family does. Now why do you think the Duggars might have gone along with the reality show, never thinking that juvenile records would ever be leaked, and after so much time had passed? How about the expense of raising 19 children? If you had 19 children and a TV channel offered you good bucks to do a reality show, would you turn it down? They never thought at the time they decided to do the reaity show that incidents by ONE of their NINETEEN children would come back to bite them big time, as juvenile records would never be leaked, they knew.
Or they thought they knew, until the real heel in this equation, the female police chief, did the illegal and unconscionable leak and tried to bring down and destroy the entire Duggar family. Too Christian for some? Oh, but there was that one 13 year old boy, the rotten apple in the barrel, and therefore all the destruction of this family is now justified because of that one 13 year old’s mistake. Bah humbug.
I might add, I have never watched the show, but have seen the family a few times on the news and talk shows. They indeed are what nowadays would be considered an overly large family, but you know what? 18 out of 19 of those kids have grown up or are growing up to be fine young children and adults. Think of that. 18 children doing fine, one screwed up, and therefore you all assume the entire pool is polluted. Or you want to think that. Would that more families would have such excellent results in bringing their children up.
And you know what? TLC channel won’t drop the Duggar program. They will be back in the fall, with more eyeballs watching than ever before. It’s like Duck Dynasty, another attempt to bring down the Christians; the Duggars are their highest rated show on TLC. Their moneymaker. Their golden goose. You think they are going to make the same mistake as was made initially with Duck Dynasty and cancel the show? No way. Ten years ago on this very same website, I maintain, the patrons herein would have come to the defense of the Duggar family, knowing what the real political agenda to do away with them was. Today, not so much....
There are a few FReepers prior to you, but I want to thank you for completely covering everything I have been thinking about this family, Michelle and Jim Bob and the current witch hunt.
TLC will regret dropping the Duggars, and I pray that this family and other Christians with TLC will depart the network to begin a brand new one where liberals will have zero say. Frankly, I’d rather have my family watch people dress overly-clothed by society’s standards than have them look at narcissistic trashians and their un-God-given, surgically-altered & enhanced bosoms, trunks and otherwise.
Furthermore, I fully believe we will see the Duggars donate whatever is given to them from the release of sealed juvenile records. I’d be very surprised if Jim Bob and Michelle don’t donate the money to a victim’s fund for children.
And I completely agree - this whole tabloid feast is against Christians which nicely aligns with the agenda of our highjacked America.
Standing Ovation!
Nice post!
Just catching up on this, but wanted to say I appreciate your post. The amount of backlash, hatred, and false statements directed at the Duggars is astounding. They’re not perfect, and their decisions weren’t perfect, but wow, this is overkill.
