I guess a show with the title “19 kids, Including A Pervert” just isn’t what sponsors are looking for! Perhaps some sort of musical – Trailor Trash on Broadway – would have more appeal.
Anyone need any doubt that some folks get special treatment from the police?
While I cannot stand this so-called “Christian” family and I am sort of glad of the treatment they are getting, (show being dropped, sponsors fleeing) this vigilante mob-justice behaviour by so many people could be more worrying than the teenage mistake that this Josh character is being drawn and quartered over. Yes they messed up on the punishment he received and the counselling that both he and his sisters and other victims should have received, but the absolute vile vindictiveness of some of the commenters on this and other media outlets is far beyond necessary for anything he has done. It is not like he “got away with it” either. He was found out by a brave person coming forward and the family did what they thought, at the time, was best. Misguided as that was.
Josh was a creeper 14 year old boy. What he did was gross but it was taken care of by the people involved and everyone has moved on….12 years ago no less. I don’t understand why we are calling him a child molester when he was a kid at the time, and he confessed and apologized!! There is a huge difference between what Josh Duggar did and what molesters and rapists do. Everyone here would probably be mortified if they had a light shining on their own nasty little secrets.
People need to get a life.
Many large sponsors have already pulled out of this show and TMZ is reporting that TLC will have no choice to cancel the show soon. It’s unfortunate that they didn’t cancel just to do the right thing, but public pressure is now forcing their hand. They need to realize the general public are turned off by the Duggar’s galling hypocrisy.
Weirdos like this are reproducing like rats smh law should prohibit this kind of breeding!! 3-4 munchkins is plenty. Don’t be weird. They are Givin America a bad name. No wonder everyone hates the U.S.! We put the worst of us on TV to represent our culture. They must think we are a bunch of honey booboo trashian Mormons over here
I think it’s politics. Some religious people are feeling ‘persecuted’ because the push is to base conclusions about people on their character rather than on econonmic status, religious leanings, or who they love.
Although their ranks are steadily shrinking, the far religious right has some very devout and not altogether mentally stable followers.
TLC is trying to gauge which side they are more afraid of; people who are horrified by the Duggars’ behavior and want them off the air, or those who think that since Joshy apologized everything should go on as usual.
Also, they want that money train rolling. The Duggars do make them a lot of cash.
I honestly think this stalling over permanently canceling 19 Kids and Counting is them hoping that the American public cools down, gets distracted by something shiny, and then they can reinstate the show or produce a spin off.
Either way, it’s horrible.
The kids are more than ready to slam the doors in the camera crews faces. 11 years of this madness. Only money starved Jim bob will feel the pain. It’s reported each of the grown girls have a trust of one million. This includes royalities from the episodes and the three best sellers (books) the girls co wrote. The girls get separate money for being on the show because they are over 18 and can have separate contract representatives looking out for them. Probably not much but still they could refuse to pertisipate as adults and that would doom the show. Plus by now Jim bob has had 11 years of income plus residual incomes if the show goes into reruns later. It’s time to pull the plug, not because of what he did, but it’s getting boring now.
Billy Graham has been stuffed like Trigger was (Roy Rogers) and is on display in Franklin Graham’s living room. Why? Because Frankie boy is a Bible illiterate; of course so was his daddy, Billy Boy. They are all in it for money…ONLY!
A lot of the time religion attracts people who can’t think for themselves, because if they could think for themselves, they would question everything and organized religion hates anyone to question them. For everything said there is a bible quote, whether it applies to the discussion or not, they MAKE it apply and they masses bow their heads and pray on command.
The scariest part for me was right after this mess became public, Anna Duggar (defending her husband) said that Josh ‘confessed’ to her and her parents before they got married and how she couldn’t understand why he confessed. Well Anna, how the heck can you protect your daughters, one of whom is the same age as on of YOUR HUSBAND’S VICTIMS, if you even as an adult cannot grasp the severity of the problem you have on your hands. That is the problem with home schooling by religious nut jobs like the Duggars. In the REAL WORLD OF EDUCATION, five year olds and younger are taught good touch/bad touch, so that when a predator like Josh Duggar tries anything, they know enough to go tell right away.
we should all remember , judge not , lest ye be judged! we are all hippocrites when we judge. Remove the splinter from your own eye first. Jesus said LOVE , is the greatest and to forgive is Devine . GOD WILL JUDGE , NOT YOU ! I love you , and I forgive all of you . Please forgive me , if you will .
