The eldest of the Duggar children resigns from FRC: Child Molestation Charges

[Dot Com]

This concerns an incident that happened when he was 14! That's not a crime, it's misbehavior.

Boys will be boys! Right? All decent teenage boys finger their little sisters. Shit....if a boy didn't cop a feel off of his sleeping siblings....we'd have to ask what was wrong with his parents.

tipsy has gone-off her own deep-end this time

 

[Statistikhengst]

Not to mention the damage done to our American society.

Wanna make it big on good, wholesome TV?

Well, if your kid molests his sisters, just sweep it under the rug and we will find a judge for you to make sure to destroy the police record, cuz revelations end-times bla blah Benghazi bla bla.

And then, in 10 years, someone will copycat the Duggers and start popping out the puppies in double digits to make it big.

Success!!

 

[Luddly Neddite]

What I"mm getting from the phony christians is that if you thump a bible, you can molest little girls.

If this were a Dem, the RWs would be looking for a rope.

Hypocrites.

 

[Statistikhengst]

Surely this is all Obama's fault, somehow.

The Prog Moonbats are so happy about the Dugger Drama!

They'll continue to flog it, and other peripheral pop culture kerfuffles, in order to distract attention away from the cratering failure of the Obama Presidency and Hillary's Horrible Campaign.

huh my little rw mermaid?

These people represent the Repub base to a "T"

No they don't. I don't know one Republican Family that has 19 kids, one of whom is a repentant former teenage child molester, and who have a reality tv-show - cancelled or otherwise.

You Prog Loon Moonbats ALWAYS bark to the MSM dog whistle which attempts to spin fringe individuals into opinion-leading Party Lights. In reality, the Duggars are Reality TV personalities - not quite a vulgar as the Kardashians and Marriage Boot Camp troglodtes, but TV Entertainmers nevertheless.

You're also mistaken in your assumption that I'm a Republican. I'm not. I'm an independent who supports limited government.

Once again, republicans and conservatives have only themselves to blame for any ridicule that sustain because of this, the consequence of the right's arrogance and hubris with regard to their 'family values' nonsense – that republicans and conservatives have some sort of 'monopoly' on morals and values, that republicans and conservatives alone possess 'family values,' and because of their 'superior morality,' republicans and conservatives believe they're in a position to 'lecture' others with regard to morals and values – when in fact nothing could be further from the truth.

Amnesty Granted To Child Molesting Camp Counselor Known As ‘Papa Bear’

Reporter

4576821
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) knew last year that an illegal alien California camp counselor known as “Papa Bear” was being investigated on child molestation and child pornography charges but did nothing about it, Iowa U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley claims in a letter sent to DHS Sec. Jeh Johnson on Wednesday.

WTF does this have to do with the thread?

This is completely and utterly disgusting in every possible way:

Josh Dugger: paragon of "Christian Virtue" by day, Child-molester by night.
Here he is, all wrapped in the flag, because that make him better or something. Go figure.​

Josh Duggar, the eldest of the 19 Duggar children from the very well known Duggar family, who worked for the "FRC" (Family Research Center), has resigned because of child molestation charges being leveled against him. He has already admitted that the charges are true.

The Dugga family became famous for the TV-reality show called "19 Kids and Counting".

First link:

Josh Duggar Responds to Child Molestation Allegations Yahoo Celebrity - Yahoo Celebrity

A stunning and very alarming report has emerged involving the Duggar family.

According to a recently uncovered police report, Josh Duggar, one of the many stars of TLC's 19 Kids and Counting, allegedly molested five girls — some of whom, were reportedly his sisters — starting in 2002. He was around 14 at the time.

Josh, 27, issued a statement to People in response to the allegations: "Twelve years ago, as a young teenager, I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret. I hurt others, including my family and close friends. I confessed this to my parents who took several steps to help me address the situation. We spoke with the authorities where I confessed my wrongdoing, and my parents arranged for me and those affected by my actions to receive counseling. I understood that if I continued down this wrong road that I would end up ruining my life."

He continued, "I would do anything to go back to those teen years and take different actions. I sought forgiveness from those I had wronged and asked Christ to forgive me and come into my life. In my life today, I am so very thankful for God's grace, mercy and redemption."

Josh has resigned as Executive Director of the Family Research Council.

This gets worse, much, much worse. His father knew about it, and did not inform the authorities.

Second link:

Duggar Family Spawn Family Research Council Top Lobbyist Resigns over Molestation Charges

The Duggars apparently told the elders of their church about the incidents in question but not local police authorities.

Later they claimed that they had sent Josh to a Christian counseling program to cure him of whatever was driving his abusive behavior. But under police questioning, Michele Duggar admitted that it wasn't a counseling program at all but rather "a guy they know in Little Rock that is remodeling a building."

The interviewing detective asked if the remodeling guy was a "mentor" and Duggar said "kind of."

What?

When Josh returned from his time with the mentor in Little Rock, father Jim Bob along with a group of church elders took Josh to talk to Arkansas State Trooper, Jim Hutchens, a personal friend of Jim Bob's. Hutchens took no official action and apparently made no report of the incident but rather had a "stern talk" with Josh.

Alas, former state trooper Hutchens is now serving hard time on child pornography charges. He was originally sent to prison two years after the stern talk, released and then convicted again in 2010. He is currently serving a 56 year term. So he may not have been the best person to have Josh talk to.

So, instead of reporting the sexual molestation to the authorities and then having LIED about sending him to a "christian" counseling program, instead, they sent him to a "mentor", a man who is now serving 56 years in jail because of child porn.

The father waited an ENTIRE YEAR to make a police report and then the incidents were quietly swept under the rug.

Bombshell Duggar Police Report Jim Bob Duggar Didn t Report Son Josh s Alleged Sex Offenses For More Than a Year - In Touch Weekly

Jim Bob Duggar waited more than a year after his son, Josh, confessed to sexually molesting several female minors before contacting police, In Touch Magazine is reporting exclusively, based on information contained in the official police report.

What’s more, Jim Bob informed the elders of his church about Joshua’s actions and they waited three months before contacting authorities. The explosive new information is contained in a Springdale, Ark., police report obtained by In Touch magazine.

The report has been hidden since 2006 and was just obtained by the mag through a Freedom of information Act request. Jim Bob also refused to allow police to interview Josh when they opened a felony investigation in 2006. The Duggars star on TLC’s hit show 19 Kids and Counting.

In Touch magazine first broke the news of the Duggars’ underage sexual molestation scandal in this week’s magazine. (Note: Josh’s name is redacted from the police report but In Touch has confirmed the passages that refer to him.)

The police report is at the link.

This is absofuckinglutely disgusting!

Remember, this is a family that is held up for it's high "Christian" values. And Josh Duggar was the HEAD of the FRC. So much for the credibility of the FRC.

There is more.

At the link are 9 examples of Josh Duggar lecturing others about family values, that gays were destroying America, that gays were sexual deviants, etc.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Duggar Family has been praised in many quarters for being a bastion of Christian Virtue and such, and yet, for the last 10 years, it has all been a big, fat lie.

Even here in USMB, the family has been praised to the high heavens above:

The Duggar Family Welcomes 18th Child US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum

With comments like this:

They are an amazing family. They are one of the most loving and functional families I have ever seen. They are also very frugal and are financially secure (self-made).

Uhuh.....


The point is very clear. All too often, we hear from "Christian" charlatans that they take the higher moral road and then at the end of the day, we see yet again another sex scandal. Disgusting. And very, very predictable. If it's not a sex scandal, then it's a rip-off scheme. Go figure.

But I am not going to let The Right and The Christian Right conveniently forget about the many times it has claimed to take the high road, only to get caught in sexual perversions like this Dugger dude.

Here, to refresh our community's memory:

Category Christian sex abuse cases - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Category Christian clergy with criminal convictions - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

List of religious leaders convicted of crimes - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

And with that third link, we see an enormous pattern:

• Tony Alamo - Headed a Santa Clarita commune. Convicted of tax evasion in 1994 and then resided in a halfway house in Texarkana.[1] In 2009, he was convicted of ten federal counts of taking minors across state lines for sex, and sentenced to 150 years in federal prison.[2]

• Wayne Bent (aka: Michael Travesser) - Founder of Lord Our Righteousness Church, sometimes called Strong City. Was convicted of one count of criminal sexual contact of a minor and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor in 2008.[4] Was sentenced to 18 years with eight years suspended.[5]

• Graham Capill - former leader of Christian Heritage New Zealand. Sentenced to nine-year imprisonment term in 2005 after multiple charges of child sexual abuse against girls younger than twelve.[6]

• Warren Jeffs - Once President of Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (a polygamist Mormon sect), convicted of rape as an accomplice (overturned in 2010). Jeffs also awaits trial in other states and in the federal court system.[8]

• Jung Myung Seok - South Korean religious sect leader and founder of Providence. Convicted for raping several of his followers.[9]

• William Kamm - An Australian religious sect leader and self-styled Pope Peter II who was sentenced to prison in October 2005 for a string of sexual attacks on a 15-year-old girl. In August 2007 his sentence was increased after being found guilty for a series of sexual abuses against another teenage girl over a five-year period.[10]

• Paul Schäfer - Former head of Chile-based Colonia Dignidad, was convicted of sexually abusing 25 children.[20]

And then there's Jim and Tammy Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart (whores in his car), Ted Haggard (male prostitutes), George Rekers (rent boys!), not to mention hundreds and hundreds of catholic priests who have molested young boys.

Yes, we are seeing an enormous pattern. It is a pattern of sexual deviance and perversion, mostly swept under the rug, wrapped in the flag, "prayed away to Jesus" and all sorts of ridiculous shit, but at the end of the day, the story is the same: perversion committed by well-known so-called "Christians". And they are supposed to be 'better.' Yeah, right. My big toe has more morals than those yahoos.

I personally feel very, very sorry for "rank and file" Christians who really do try to live their lives according to the Bible, who go to church, who raise their families, who tithe, who are part of a community they care about - for they have to witness these charlatans and yahoos who abuse their religion for personal gain, all the while telling the rest of us that we are not moral enough.

Well, fuck that. I've had enough of that. I am personally sick and tired of being lectured by Christians by day over how morally superior they are, when they at night are either pumping pussy or sucking cock in a dark alley somewhere.

ENOUGH. IS. ENOUGH.

If Christians really, truly care about the message their faith us SUPPOSED to send, they should be screaming that the Duggars and the Robertsons and the Bakkers and the Swaggarts and the Haggards of the world get the hell out of their lives.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Discuss. Should the Duggars stay on TV, or should the show get canned?

Do you trust any Christian TV personalities at all?

I expect this will be a heated discussion and I do not apologize in the slightest for hitting on this Duggar asswipe so hard, because I bust my ass to teach my kid values and morals and I don't want a pervert like a Josh Duggar anywhere near my kid, to be sure.

Leave it to the OP and libs in general to be gleeful to see a traditional American family take a hit.

And another RW steps over the children who were victimized in order to push their sick agenda.

Utterly and completely disgusting that you believe "traditional American families" molest children and protect the molesters.

Look you stupid fuck, I am not in any way approving of what has happened here. If this fuck is guilty of molestation, throw his ass in jail and throw away the key.

What I'm disgusted with is how you leftist assholes love to see this kind of a story come out, because you hate traditional American families.

Wow, the Duggars are what you consider a traditional family? How sad.

[MarcATL]

Child sexual abuse exists in every community. Unfortunately, it seems to do better and be gotten away with more, in religious communities. Presumedly because smaller ultra religious groups tend to avoid society not part of the group (as here, Duggars belonging to a cult called Quiverfull.) So abuse goes unchecked and unreported more than gets reported.

Sounds like the 'mentor' and even the State Trooper musta been members and much as the Catholics do transferring abusive priests around, the Quiverfull cult handles these issues by sending victims and abusers to other members in key positions. Then should anyone ask, they 'addressed' the problem. Like the FLDS group in Colorado City who literally operate the entire town including the police force. So when abuse happens there (which it does,) 'reporting' the abuse is just informing fellow cult members of SOP.

CSA occurs in the Jewish community as well, as well as in the Amish community. It's everywhere and the more isolationist a group is, the more likely it becomes there's abuse that isn't getting reported outside the group.

Nothing good happens in secret.

I agree with much of what you posted here, however, to be honest, I believe that it's the family's perogative to handle these delicate situations how they see fit.

Particularly if it all occurred w/i the family.

Unfortunately, kids often do bad things, sometimes even terrible, I hope that Duggar guy has learned from and not made a life of such things.

With that said, the Duggars should NEVER have come out so harshly against gays and making the claims they have about "protecting children" and all that other stuff KNOWING full-well the past they have. People that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. So for the simple fact that they engaged in such harsh and awful political mixed w/religious rhetoric they should bare the consequences of public shame and scrutiny and even ostrazitation.
