[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We can deal in hypotheticals all day long or we can take the word of the now adult victims. Instead we are doubting them and calling them stupid and brainwashed. How kind.[/quote]

Your first mistake is in thinking we think they're stupid and brainwashed. Your second mistake is in not seeing their cult programming for what it is: minimize anything that will damage first their church or second their brand. Sexual crimes by men and boys are minimized, ignored, blamed on the victim, especially if they're female. These women were abused twice - first by their brother, and second by their parents' inexcusable inaction. For over a year until the "safeguards" - after which the five year old was sexually assaulted, mind you - were finally put into place.[/quote]

Then we should definitely throw Josh in jail FOREVER and rip Jessa, Jill and the three others away from their lives for deprogramming. Then lets put the other 14 children into the CPS system and put JimBob and Michelle on house arrest. Because f*ck this is the worst situation to happen EVER.

Or we could realize this happened over a decade ago and was dealt with and not a single victim has come out saying they were irreparably damaged or recently felt up by Josh. [/quote]

[b]Literally no one suggested that[/b].  You are really having a hard time being reasonable about this.   What I'd like to see happen is real counseling for those girls, and some real counseling for Josh, to make sure this isn't something that will recur.  And for the parents to admit taht they made a mistake in how they handled it by not protecting their girls.  (Hello, they didn't protect them -- it recurred and recurred for a year!)[/quote]

Pretty close to some of the things suggested.

Even if they did all that, people would still hate them. Because you know, christians, conservatives. They are the literal devil.[/quote]

Nope.  You're pretending that's the motivation so you can continue to portray them as victims.  I know and love many conservative Christians.  They wouldn't do this to their daughters.  [/quote]

Be honest, that is the motivation behind a great deal of the hatred and the need to spin this as worse than it is (and I agree this is bad). Maybe *you* specifically don't, but I doubt PP was speaking only about you.[/quote]

I disagree.  I think PP is trying to dismiss opposing viewpoints by spinning the duggars persecution narrative.  Which is bs.  [/quote]
