I've always liked the Duggars. I've always defended the Duggars when people called the crazy or weird or horrible for having so many kids. But this time..... this time.... I'm completely and utterly disgusted. I'm so disgusted that I'm having a hard time finding words to express it.

Is The Duggers a reality show? I have never heard of it...
 
:shock:

Well, gee... when I showed concern for the victims, you accused me of hoping they were screwed up so I could pontificate... and when I joke in the thread, you self righteously tell me off for not caring or being serious enough.

I don't know that the topic of young girls being molested is fun, and reading the words of a convicted pedophile isn't my idea of ****s and giggles. But I do find the subject fascinating because I'm seeing what happens in the houses of these extremely religious people. And being glad that my parents abhorred religion and this didn't happen to me. And I actually can't help but feel very sorry for the 2 young men who married Josh's sisters this year, one with a new baby and the other with a baby on the way, who have to deal with this - and know their brother in law molested their wives years ago.

I said that I don't think the subject is "fun". If you think I think you're me, okay. You aren't, but if you want to pretend...

19 Kids and Counting. It's on TLC, a/k/a "The Learning Channel", which stopped being a useful learning channel years ago. Although I doubt they're counting anymore. I think it's 19 Kids and Holding now.
 
Speaking of Michelle Duggar's robocalls in another thread, I just did a quick search and this came up, about her robocall last year in Arkansas.

In the call, Duggar claims that an ordinance pertaining to housing, employment, and public accommodation discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender would allow “males with past child predator convictions that claim they are female to have a legal right to enter private areas that are reserved for women and girls.”

I have to wonder how she slept that night after making that recording, considering her own son fondled his sisters and he had the legal right to enter their private bedrooms for years after that. Hypocrisy seems to run through her veins.

Yeah... I remember that channel. Was OK 15 years ago, or whenever. Thanks for the info... we do not get that show here. Probably good. :)

You ain't missing a thing Bodhi. It's the same channel that gave the world Honey Boo Boo.
 
That article said Josh had to shave his head as a mark of shame... wtf... :shock:

I am not surprised they teach their kid masturbation is wrong and porn is forbidden. It's not healthy to teach kids that their own body and natural urges for sex is shameful and wrong.

You know... That article was really disturbing. I'm guessing in that environment, the Duggar kids likely didn't ask a lot of "birds and the bees" type questions. But I think when you combine the level of shame shown for something that is a fundamental part of being human with the natural inclination of children to feel they are "at fault" when they aren't (such as when parents fight or get divorced), I find that abusive. There's no other word for it.
 
The Duggars are on Megyn Kelly's show on Fox right now.
