And just WHY are they freaks??? Christians?? Lots of kids?? Beyond Josh, how are they freaks in your eyes?
They are not Christians. If you have to ask why that is, you need to do some research. Start with Galatians and compare to their belief system (Gothard, Quiverfull).
It looks all squeaky clean, but it the fast track to hell.
IMO they are not freaks, but they are FAKES. They are strict followers of Bill Gothard and his twisted ideology. Gothard TEACHES that victims of sexual assault are partly responsible for their assault (what did they DO to arouse their assailant?) Place that mindset alongside the youngest Duggar daughter (at 5 years old) being fondled by Josh during story time (sitting on his lap—which later was forbidden w/any of the boys by Michelle’s own admission) and you have to see that there a huge problem with Josh.
Though locks were placed on bedroom doors, children’s games of hide and seek forbidden, none of the brothers ever left alone or in charge of their sisters (all admitted by Michelle and JimBob to Megan Kelley) the most immediate action wasn’t done. Josh Duggar should have been removed from the family home and sent to live with childless relatives while being given counseling treatment. That wasn’t done. He was kept in the household (appearances for grooming for the TLC show?) until months later (again admitted by his parents) and then he was sent to a family friend doing home renovations (not professional Christian or secular sexual abuse counseling).
All of this occurring while negotiating a TV contract for a reality show to promote the Duggars as the ideal Christian family. They knew they had a serious problem with one child victimizing his younger sisters and yet JimBob and Michelle forged ahead...freaks NO...FAKES YES.
