[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get why the Duggars went ahead with their [b]public[/b] Christian life knowing that they had this skeleton in the closet. I guess they hoped it would never be discovered. The money was too enticing, now they have shamed their whole family all over the world in a case that should have been private. I mean that, when minors do this kind of thing, it should be kept private. 
Also, I don't get why people think that strict Christians are more likely to have this happen. Words like repressive are being thrown around. ? 
We also are hearing about how women are being repressed. I don'y recall the Duggars telling their sons to go out and have premarital sex. [/quote]

1.  I believe that Josh and his parents thought that once the mistakes were handled, and forgiveness sought and given, that that was it.  There was no more fear of a skeleton in the closet because the entire issue was resolved, so why would anyone be interested in it?

2.  The Quiverfull movement unfortunately, and other strict fundamentalists, are more likely to have problems with sexual abuse.  Because sex, and guarding against it, are a huge part of the lifestyle, as well as for other reasons.  [/quote]

Can someone explain why discouraging pre marital sex leads to sex abuse?[/quote]

It doesn't. There was far more to the oppressive environment the Duggar children are being raised in.

Story time. I am catholic. Catholic = no premarital sex. My parents asked me to wait until I was an adult to make adult choices like sex and had an open door policy on talking to them about anything. I waited until I married to have sex because it was my choice and I have a very healthy sex life and view on sex 20 years later. We am raising our children the same. I have friends from parochial school that were raised very different. Sex is sin. Sexual thoughts are sin. If a boy wants sex its because your uniform is too tight, too short. Eve was a temptress that brought the fall of man, women are temptresses. Etc. Two of my classmates with parents like these were having sex at 12 with high school boys. Another was pregnant at 14, because she had never been told where babies come from. Including fondling your siblings, especially if you have very little interaction with anyone except your own family. Teenagers have hormones and curiosity about sex, adding in all of the fear and guilt and shame may well lead to poor choices surrounding sex.[/quote]
