How do you know that Josh has not owned up to it?

Did he tell us about it, or did the media do so? Question asked and answered...

Would you put your 14 year old on display with his sins?

What I would do is not in question...but the Duggars did in fact do so, knowing full well that damning skeletons lurked in their closet...

I just think you all are a bunch of hard hearted individuals and I am glad I am not related to you.

so glad you can discuss a topic on the internet using lucid and rational discourse...

So by your logic, if a person makes a mistake, they give up their rights to speak out on anything?

Sigh...regardless of the fact that I said nothing that would engender that little gem, I will humor you and answer...one who errs can speak out on any topic he/she wishes, as loud and as often as desired...what they cannot do is demand freedom from the consequences of their words and actions...thus the reaping and sowing bit...

Correct? Wow! Oh well!

I guess that says it all...

Where has he demanded freedom from the consequences? If you were actually watching the show over the years. Josh started out as very prominent, then all of a sudden they were talking to the other kids. Josh was married off as soon as they were able and Josh is was not asked to be in either of his sisters weddings.

I thought that this was odd, now I see the reason for it. He is not well thought of amongst his brothers and sisters. No one rushes to meet him when they arrive at the house. They rush to meet his wife, but not him.

Now parents are parents to good kids and bad whether they like it or not. If I had that many kids I would quite grateful if only one of them was/is a deviant. Also, the shame that the Duggars have over the episode is quite likely very deep. It's not something you talk about over coffee. Having had a relative who committed an offense in his youth, I assure you they were mortified, embarrassed and never brought it up.
