May 29, 2015
Josh Duggar, who recently resigned from his post with the Family Research Council after revelations that he sexually molested five girls, including his sisters, recently withdrew from speaking at a homeschooling convention in Sandusky, Ohio.
But Duggar, who claims hes forgiven by his God, even though his family tried to cover up his sex crimes, is still scheduled to speak at the ALIVE Festival in Mineral City, Ohio, an event sponsored by Liberty University and other Christian organizations, to discuss how the Bible is the owners manual for life.
Following GOP Jesuss teachings, prominent evangelist Ray Comfort told fans on Facebook that he will boycott TLC if the network dares to drop the Duggar familys reality TV show in response to the cover-up of Josh diddling those young girls, Right Wing Watch reports.

When this latest 15 minutes of infamy run out, what will they do? Ah, write a book on Child "Rearing".

The patriarch and matriach of the Duggars clan, Jim Bob and Michelle, will soon speak to Fox News' Megyn Kelly about allegations that their son Josh molested underage girls as a teenager.
"Next week we will sit down with Megyn Kelly on Fox News to share our hearts with you about the pain that we walked through as a family twelve years ago, the tears we all shed and the forgiveness that was given," the Duggars wrote on their website.
"We appreciate the outpouring of love and prayers for our family at this time," they added.

(20,630 posts)I know they have media consultants and people like that, surely advising them to lay low for a good 6 months before they even think about attempting their "reputation reclamation" efforts. Just another example of what happens when ego and hubris are the dominant personality characteristics.

(13,877 posts)Any situation that creates a new word in the language, kind of like Watergate and all the "___gates" thereafter, will likely never be forgotten. It brings to mind skulduggary...the word duggary is already in the Urban Dictionary:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=duggary
duggary
The act of fondling young girls while they sleep. To be a duggar.
He was arrested for two counts of duggary. They really should put sick duggars like this on the sex offender registry.

Dan Savage wants to make the name Duggar synonymous with hypocrisy and child molestation just as he helped make Santorum a descriptive noun for a byproduct of anal sex.
Clearly duggary needs to be a word, Savage posted Tuesday on Twitter.
I feel sorry for all of the kids...Jim Bob, by his own definition, is the total blame...as women/his wife, and all of his children are subject to his rule.

(13,877 posts)Channel and they had really good shows...Ken Burn's Documentary on Mark Twain was the best piece of film I've seen. But, there isn't a huge market for intelligent viewing...note the shows today. So, instead of ending, it morphed somewhere along the line into Reality TV.

(20,888 posts)oh wait that comment might be in bad taste. When people ask why are young people less religious than ever doesn't the fact this crap parades throughout society as deep theological thought pretty much answer it.

(100,102 posts)This guy does not get it - what Josh Duggar is inexcusable. And his religion (excuse the all caps) DOES NOT FUCKING EXCUSE THIS BEHAVIOR OR MAKES HIM IMMUNE TO LAW!!!!

(5,073 posts)Even before taking his crimes into account, he has no education or qualifications. Heck, I own a Bible. Does that make me qualified?

napkinz
(17,199 posts)As the article says, Josh Duggar is going "to speak at the ALIVE Festival in Mineral City, Ohio, an event sponsored by Liberty University."
It's his parents who are going on FOX News.
His victims will never have a voice.

(14,860 posts)Anyway, it doesn't matter to us if the sinner is truly repentant. We should assume that a man who has molested little girls in the past is a danger to little girls for the rest of his life, regardless of how much he goes on about his repentance and God's forgiveness.
