I don't really know the full story on this family, but color me shocked that an extremely sexually repressive household leads to kids with this kind of behavior.

...

at 14?

Shit man.

 

[entremet]

Is the show still on the air?

 

[eBay Huckster]

You know what they say, God always has a plan.

Unfortunately, that plan probably doesn't involve hitting all the Duggars with a meteor.

 

[Rest]

That's kind of an oxymoron

How narrow minded.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

How narrow minded.

Yes, thinking someone isn't a good person for actively campaigning to remove the rights of others makes me the narrow-minded one

I see it now, thank you

 

[Ghost_Protocol]

Looks like he resigned from his job at the FRC.

He admitted it.

Back 12 years ago our family went through one of the most difficult times of our lives. When Josh was a young teenager, he made some very bad mistakes, and we were shocked. We had tried to teach him right from wrong. That dark and difficult time caused us to seek God like never before. Even though we would never choose to go through something so terrible, each one of our family members drew closer to God. We pray that as people watch our lives they see that we are not a perfect family. We have challenges and struggles every day. It is one of the reasons we treasure our faith so much because God's kindness and goodness and forgiveness are extended to us – even though we are so undeserving. We hope somehow the story of our journey – the good times and the difficult times – cause you to see the kindness of God and learn that He can bring you through anything.

Quite a statement there.

Wow!!

 

[deadlast]

Oh wow... so child molesting brings you closer to God?

 

[jwk94]

Beyond fucked up. I'd kick him out of the house.

 

[Dan]

So he's claiming he received counseling despite all evidence to the contrary? Lovely.

 

[riotous]

In the updated In Touch article it sounded like they sent him to live with a family friend for a while.

 

[GamerJM]

Absolutely disgusting. I still can't believe my sister watches this show.

 

[riotous]

I wonder if they hadn't seen the latest story saying they never sent him to counseling before making their statements.

 

[BertramCooper]

Maybe you shouldn't put your family on a cable reality show if there's a history of incestual molestation among your kids.

 

[Dynomutt]

God is like...

And people want to know why Christianity is in decline.

 

[Archaix]

Maybe you shouldn't put your family on a cable reality show if there's a history of incestual molestation among your kids.

But how can I get mine just like the bible says? Air your shit in public, chastise others for their behavior, and hide the truly awful stuff you're doing because it'd probably stop you from getting paid.

Pretty sure that was in the Jesus part of the bible.

 

[jwk94]

For a while though. That while would be forever for me. There's no chance in risking that happening again to my kids.

 

[Elwood Blues]

Counseling or a summer job working at a home remodeling business? Whose really to say there's a big difference?

 

[kirblar]

Statutes of limitations on child abuse are absurd.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Family is completely fucked in the head.

Also this show is going to get shit canned.

 

[LiquidSword]

Well when you alienate and sexually repress your kids, this is what can happen. Obviously he chose to do it and should have known it was wrong but the parents crazy patriarchal catholic bullshit is definitely a big factor.

 

[Retrocide]

This is so sickening.

 

[Prototype]

These people seem like really, really good people. It would be too bad if this were true, but is only a reflection on the son, not the rest of the family, and especially the father for reporting it.

Sure, you can be anti-gay and still be a "good" person.

:/

 

[Wilsongt]

Really makes me sick how this woman was able to go on her robocall crusade saying transgender individuals were going to molest children, and it was going own right in her damn house by one of her own children.

 

[Meowster]

I don't think you can be anti-gay and a good person..

 

[bonesmccoy]

What blows my mind is that they had this horrible situation in their family, and yet they decided to chase the $$$ and go on TV - in doing so present themselves as the perfect American Chri$tian (ha!) family. Considering that, to do so when the sex abuse crisis in the Catholic Church story had broken and had been all over the news for years just smacks of greed and hubris.

 

[Sheroking]

Gee, it's like coming from a heavily religious, sexually repressed, socially conservative background can fuck you up?

Who knew?

Oh wow... so child molesting brings you closer to God?

Easiest set-up for a catholic priest joke ever.

 

[Hazmat]

Wow. My earlier post in this thread seems pretty bad now, but this vague rumor of a story got really fucked up really fast.

This is like the Honey Boo Boo thing. We were sold the cute version of rednecks and a huge super-religious tight knit family, and then the worst stereotypes turned out to be true and it's not really funny anymore.

Super religious people who flaunt their religiousness on TV and then turn out to be massive shitheads isn't really mind blowing. If fact I can't think of a single super religious TV person who is actually a decent human being.

 

[freenudemacusers]

wow at that update... this family doesn't half-ass anything do they.

 

[jhmtehgamr20xx]

I'm not sure being an active social conservative makes one a bad person, as evidenced by the fathers courage here, but it sure would imply they at least hold very shitty opinions.

[Deleted member 13876]

So this marks a second time this year for TLC one of their reality show families are involved in a child abuse channel.

I'll give it too them that we certainly end up learning a lot about these families.

I know right.... I shameless used that as a bases for a priest joke later.

"Let the children come to me"

 

[Ke0]

How narrow minded.

Not trying to fight, but I'm trying very hard to see how someone who's against others' fundamental rights can be considered a good person.

 

[partyphone]

fuck these people. this makes me so fucking livid. these assholes are actively trying to take away the rights of LGBT people claiming they're a danger to children.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

A dude that molested his sisters went to work for the Family Research Council.

Family Research.

 

[ryseing]

Not surprised at the whole "shipped him off to do hard labor" thing instead of getting professional help. My parents did the same thing to my brother when he had some drug issues. Instead of getting him certified counseling and help they shipped him off to this weird Christian labor camp. Must be a conservative Christian thing.

And I'm not surprised at all. I hope he hasn't done anything to his kids.

 

[Futurematic]

A dude that molested his sisters went to work for the Family Research Council.

Family Research.

He had hands on experience, though.

I can't even find it shocking anymore, what is it with intolerance and sick behaviour? Is it the way they're raised? Loudly professing their faith as an easy cover?

 

[mieumieu]

Not trying to fight, but I'm trying very hard to see how someone who's against others' fundamental rights can be considered a good person.

My theory:

Could be because of compartmentalization. We all think like that to some extent.

But more probably it is because of their worldview. They dont think LGBT people as real persons, therefore they deny them fundamental rights. They are not bad persons (a lot of them at least), they are just grossly and wilfullly misinformed.

 

[D1renegade]

So demonic.

Hopefully this gets the show cancelled.

 

[Dryk]

Sure, you can be anti-gay and still be a "good" person.

:/

Apparently going out of your way to make hundreds of thousands of people's lives worse is outweighed by being a good neighbour. I never knew.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Anti gay activist is guilty of the thing some people desperately try to link to gay people.

Oh dear...

So by your logic the slave owners of America were not bad people since they didn't see black people as real people? Serious question.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Quite a statement there.

Told you! Mistakes, he's sorry, god forgives our child molesting son. S'all good.
