Well, after all god already forvige him and show him the right path. ISN'T THAT ENOUGH YOU GODLESS LIBURLS!!!!????

Typical for liberals to condemn a man for committing pedophile acts when he was a minor instead of supporting his rehabilitation. Well, when that man is a republican, at least.

It's a terrible crime, but remember we watched 7th Heaven for years.

Oh I don't think its because of any memory lapses on Huckabee's part

Before anyone says something about God. The Good Book does say, "It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble". I agree and I'm not very religious myself.

Rehabilitation would have been good when he was 14. Instead his parents sent him to do manual labor with a pedophile. Also it's hard to support someone who is such a reprehensible human being. (Referring to his years of service to the FRC)

No matter, TLC will just replace this with "Man With the 1000lb Balls" reruns.

Could you please elaborate on this.

If I had to make a guess it's the amount of people quoting and laughing at the first post. It's a pretty tasteless joke :/

What a sad story all around. Glad the show got canceled. I feel really bad for all those kids.

 

[Wilsongt]

Or a Christian as long as they pray for forgiveness.

Also, about liberals slamming the guy do remember his mother went on a robocall campaign against transgender individuals.

Also, in almost all cases, anyone who does this has to register as a sex offender.

So, something something stones and glass houses.

Michael Brown was not a minor. He was 18. Comparing these two statements is pretty disingenuous.

Real awful to see him defending the Duggars' cover up either way.

I'm giving him the Jesus Certified Benefit of the Doubt.

Even though I'm sure we know where his allegiances lie.

 

[PhoenixDark]

I've mentioned this before, but a teacher at the Baptist private school I played basketball for in middle/high school was caught having an affair with a student. She was around 18 when it was discovered but it more than likely began when she was underage. The girl was exiled from the school and church before she could graduate. Meanwhile the teacher lost his job but was brought back to do odd jobs (yard/construction work, refereed some of our games lol, etc)...before being reinstated as a teacher (science/biology).

It becomes quite clear that women are automatically the blame for any sexual issue that comes up amongst these types of people.

it took me about 19 seconds of watching that show to keep it way off my radar. creepy as fuck family, some carcosa shit.

[Shinypogs]

I'm sorry but 14 is old enough to know it's not okay to fucking fondle someone in their sleep. The fact that some of his victims were his younger sisters is even more sickening. While certainly not excusable with an older sibling it would have made more sense as I have seen several cases of other people's younger brothers being oddly ( and usually briefly) attracted to physically developing older sisters.

I seriously doubt the counseling he and his victims are reported to have received afterwards was of any quality.

Read the article what i posted before in this thread. That's what he got as counseling.

As for the girls? Pffff... though luck, "now let's make your brother a nice cake since he's coming back from his counseling"

Well these are the from the curriculum that was supposedly used so judge for yourself:

You see, the Duggars aren’t just “Quiverfull” breeders and Bible adherents—they’re also adherents of the Advanced Training Institute, a Bible-based homeschooling program run by alleged cult figurehead Bill Gothard. Months before the family had to deal with the revelation of Josh Duggar’s past sexual abuses, they were coping with sexual abuse allegations against Gothard.

Gothard last year denied accusations that he had sexually harassed or assaulted 34(!) women, claiming “I have never kissed a girl nor have I touched a girl immorally or with sexual intent.” He was 79 years old at the time.

Although Gothard was forced to resign as the head of the Advanced Training Institute due to the accusations, the Duggars apparently still follow the organization’s teaching plans, which include lessons on how to deal with sexual abuse in the home.

What the hell

In March 2003, Jim Bob met with “church elders” to discuss Josh’s behavior, and they decided Josh needed to enter a treatment program. He was sent to a “Christian” program consisting of “hard physical work and counseling” from March 2003 to July 2003. Josh’s mother Michelle later admitted to police that Josh did not see a counselor, and was instead sent “to a family friend who was in the home remodeling business” in Little Rock, Arkansas.

When Josh returned home in July 2003, his father and church elders took him to a state trooper to confess what he’d done. The trooper, Cpl. Hutchins, gave Josh a “very stern talk” but did not charge him with any crimes.

InTouch reports that Hutchins was later arrested on child pornography charges and is currently serving 56 years in prison.

He was rehabilitated?

It sounds like his parents explained to him that what he was doing was inappropriate and wrong and told him to think about what his actions meant. He didn't go to prison as some people here seem to hope but he was shown love and compassion and told to change his behavior.

[Solidsoul]

I completely and whole-heartedly agree with Mike. It was an awful and disgusting act that should never be excused. That being said, the family immideatly got help for all those involved and because of it Josh Duggar and his family were able to move on with their lives.

People make mistakes, but inexcusable does not ever mean unforgivable. The media needs to lay off this.

As a liberal I completely agree.

My issue is with the parents for their inaction and lies.

I can't say I like Josh's actions as an adult; the amount of time he devotes to fighting gay rights, and that smarmy smile on his face:

But I don't let that cloud how I feel about what he did at 14. I'm tired of fellow "liberals" acting like blatant hypocrites.

It's gross; he was 14 and needed help he probably didn't get. Punishment he provably didn't get, etc, and that is not his fault.

The story itself is also gross; but that's mainly due to his parents and the system of privilege they are a part of. Getting a stern talking to from a family friend state patrol officer? SMH

Feel terrible for the girls too. These parents should be visited by CPS.

 

[jgwhiteus]

It sounds like his parents explained to him that what he was doing was inappropriate and wrong and told him to think about what his actions meant. He didn't go to prison as some people here seem to hope but he was shown love and compassion and told to change his behavior.

After all, what's most important is that the man gets rehabilitated and that he learns a Very Important Lesson from all this. HE'S the victim, after all - of the media or his parents' neglect, take your pick!

Oh, those underage girls he molested, including his own sisters who had to keep on living with him? Well, why should we care about their welfare? They should be grateful they were able to serve a purpose in his moral journey. They got their so-called "counseling", then had to go on living with their molester and smiling for the cameras so their parents could continue raking in the cash. I'm sure seeing the brother being slapped on the wrist for his "inappropriate" molestation felt like righteous punishment, and they don't resent their parents or have trust issues at all now.

Why, we might even get a prepared public statement from the Duggars' PR reps about how his sisters have completely forgiven him so it's fine for TLC and sponsors to keep on giving their parents money!

/I really hope you were being as sarcastic as I just was.
