Like I said
Threading a needle of nuance over the entire matter
It strikes me plenty Freepers are enjoying Christian fundies or Fakirs....your call....,being eviscerated as much as MSNBC or Perez Hilton does
I do not watch the show
My wife found them weird but genuine Christians
My middle son liked it till now
Several Baptists I like know the family and vouch for them
But I know folks here I vouch for despise Gothard life as much as FLDS
I’ve already commented on Josh and their oddities
I thought the girls were incredible
What did you think of them?
What would you have had the family do with Josh at 14/15
They took him to the cops
Should they have insisted he be charged and prison
I can’t see many parents doing that if these allegations are accurate
Yes they are unsavory at best
I do not have issue with 19 kids.....in fact I applaud anyone can do it
My biggest caveat is where did he get the impulses
I think I’ve about clarified all I can on this
It’s feast for some I know that so enjoy but I’m no longer comfortable with the Duggars as a punching bag for the Godless Christ hating left and faggots
And this notion Christians must be perfect to have an opinion about anything prurient is absurd and a shoutdown for those who detest believers
Bad as they may or may not be id prefer to side with the Duggars now rather than the bulk of those now attacking them
Me and Megyn Kelly hand in hand..,,the fembot and the anachronism
Hell has indeed frozen over
They did NOT take him to the cops at 14/15. They took him to talk to a friend who just happened to be a cop.
Who wrote nothing down. And never filed a report.
And apparently lied to the state cop about what happened and how many times...(who’s in prison for kiddie porn..who to believe...who to believe, sad when you have to ask that of ‘Christian’ parents)
When the parents flat out lied to Megyn the other night, hubby said ‘we’ were done with them. It was WAY more than just ‘over the clothing while they were asleep and no one knew till Josh confessed in tears’. WAY more. Provable lie. In front of the entire viewing audience.
What they SHOULD have said is ‘we won’t go into any details about what happened to spare the victims further embarassment’. But they didn’t do that, they insisted that the initial behavior was the only thing that happened. In spite of the police report containing actual felonies.
The whole interview schtick was to save their brand. Nothing more.
My VERY fundy relative thinks this whole thing is God’s chastisement for putting the family on TV (in general) and especially instead of dealing with the problem at hand at that time.
I think Josh dodged a huge bullet with this coming out. Had he stayed in DC and ended up an elected official somewhere he could have been ‘played’ with this like Hastert apparently was. For the rest of his life.
As for the girls, their hubbies are both dependent on JimBob for their standard of living at this point. I’ll wait till (if?) they’re ever truly independent to form an opinion. And the 2 girls interviewed, if the police report was any accurate description of what actually went on, were the LEAST ‘inappropriately touched’ of the whole bunch. And even they were guilty of half and partial truths in the interview.
