^^^ Although I think this indicates a spinoff about the married girls is not a good idea. She should be allowed to fade into obscurity, to practice her fire and brimstone craziness outside the public eye.

She's had such a hard life here on earth, physically and emotionally abused by her parents, molested by her brother, raising lots of her little brothers and sisters, and subjected to that absurd religion. It's no wonder she thinks something better must await her, and something worse await others. To make sense of her own life.

The idea is very carrot and stick: we're all sinners, all sinners go to hell, unless you repent and ask for forgiveness. She just left off the carrot part.

Will they confirm or disagree with the police report and Hutchens's new statement? Will it just be Jimbob and Michelle, or will some of the children speak?


Are they getting paid for this interview? Knowing Fox's questionable journalistic ethics, this could just be another money grab and an effort to keep their family on the air.

I wish I had something more thoughtful to say, but, "blorch" is all that comes to mind. I was hoping these lunatics would fade away and get their children appropriae help, at least those who are still at home.

I don't like the Duggars. I find their religion to be intolerant and oppressive, and speak from some second-hand experience as a good friend of someone who is, as they say, No Longer Quivering. I think that the advocacy that the family has done against the human rights of gay people and transgender people is despicable and that Jesus would be appalled. But this is America and they're allowed to practice their religion just the same as I'm allowed to practice mine and it doesn't matter if I like them or not.

I am a counselor and a parent, though, and I appreciate the difficult position they found themselves in when they discovered this. Josh is their child too, and "Turn him in to the police" is not the easiest thing to do when you are interested in protecting all of your children. I know in my heart that if I found myself in the same page as Mr. and Mrs. Duggar, I would've first protected the children who had been victimized. I would've sought out counseling for them - real counseling, administered by a licensed professional. However, I don't know how I would provide sensitive, respectful care to this family, though, given their particular beliefs about sexual power balances. I don't know how to counsel a victim of sexual assault that she is not to blame for her victimization when every moral message she has ever received is that she is responsible for the sexual urges of others because of what she wears, how she moves, etc. I don't know how to counsel a perpetrator who may not have had any real understanding of how wrong what he did was, when every moral message he has ever received is that he is in power, that women are to be submissive, that consent is really "if he wants it to happen, it will happen."

As a parent, I cannot imagine seeking out a program that would blame my daughter for her abuse.

The other problem is that it didn't stop there. The family has used their moral framework to accrue a significant amount of wealth. They support politicians who share or claim to share their beliefs. They use their celebrity to publicize those causes in a variety of ways, including the position that Josh Duggar resigned from last week.

If the goal of the Duggar's public persona is to convert people to their religion and encourage adherence to their lifestyle, based on its purity of spirit, the crimes of Josh Duggar have undermined that message.


This is perhaps the most insightful comment on this whole thread.

The first one while true and scathing just wasn't that funny.

The second and third were great.

"Keep Sweet" is FLDS, not Duggar. Keep your cults straight!


Coming straight from a woman who escaped the cult of gothard, you can google and find many other mentions of keep sweet in relation to gothard and ati.
