"And for the love of God, pray that TLC doesn't cancel our show."
This whole thing reminds me of Jimmy Swaggart and his "I have sinned" confession. Let the tears flow.
No, not everyone whips babies into their cribs, and not every 14-year-old boy repeatedly molests his sisters. It sounds like he committed a few more transgressions than kissing before marriage.
******
What's so sad is that these girls get it drilled into their heads that anything more than a side hug is a no-no.
Not even kissing can be done before they marry.
Their husband is to be their first kiss, not to mention the first to touch them sexually.
That has been taken away from them.
I don't believe for a minute that the victims received proper counseling. Praying is great, but they need professional support.
The crime Josh committed will have life-long effects.
I'm not disagreeing (far from it), but this is TLC we're talking about.

Sad, but true, Rhymes.
TLC, I think God is trying to tell you something.
Tucker's Mom said... 192
Oooo good point. How bout this part of the statement: "We pray that as people watch our lives they see that we are not a perfect family."
He's awfully sure people are still going to "watch their lives". How about get off TV and take care of your kids?
****
Oh, Jim Boob, no person, nay, sentient and aware living creature EVER thought you were perfect.
This horrible, terrible secret finally comes out and he's lobbying people to continue watching.
What I pray for is that there's no longer a show to watch.
TLC needs to pull this show and every single episode ever made, immediately.
)))
Yet, apparently, they are airing a marathon right now!
"As Radar previously reported, Josh— now a 27-year-old gay marriage fighter.."
&&&&&&
Great wording there, Radar. It sounds like he's gay and is opposed to marriage.
I guess the Duggars should have stopped at 1 kid instead of having 18 more.
gross.
I don't even know what to say. I guess the girl's modest dress code doesn't apply to sleeping. Gee, JomBoob, it's hard for girl to not entice a molester when she's ASLEEP.
TLC is a den of child abusers. Duggars, HBB, and the Gosselins.

Oh for the love of Pete and his dog, it's the Jimmy Swaggart routine.

Sorry, Tucket's Mom. I read from the bottom up and posted my comment before I read yours! GMTA, and all that!
What's so sad is that these girls get it drilled into their heads that anything more than a side hug is a no-no.

Don't forget mom said no matter how you feel you should never say no to your husband sexually.
We hope somehow the story of our journey – the good times and the difficult times – cause you to see the kindness of God and learn that He can bring you through anything."
===============
Let's see if they have enough pull with God so that He can convince TLC to keep them on the air and bring them through anything.

"event"? Try EVENTS THAT WERE REPEATEDLY AND COVERTLY DONE.

EVENTS? Is that what they're calling molestation? EVENTS...like a concert, a carnival or a tennis match?
I wonder if we'll be treated to some rainbows and unicorns tweet
from TFW tonight

Sorry, but I don't have Twitter! LOL!
Kate Is A Twit, blog historian, was it an old video or a current one? Of course Milo reads here, and I would believe she does it religiously. There are just too many coincidences in what is posted here and what she comes up with on Twitter, often on the same day. Did she ask Kate if the tabloid used an old video, or is she just spewing forth again? I would think that Milo would be happy about the paps following Kate. It means that she's still relevant and still trending and still so very news-worthy.
This turns my stomach. What the hell is wrong with these people?

The Duggars are on TLC right now. good grief.
channeling Swaggart...I HAVE SINNED!!!!
It's amazing that the girl's modest clothing dress code didn't impede Josh from molesting his SISTERS.
I've read way too many comments defending Josh and his parents, saying it was a mistake, he was a kid and it was umpteen years ago.
Idiots.
"letting TLC know that the American people stand by the Duggars"...

Okay, everyone together now, let's sing the new TLC/Duggars theme song, and raise our glasses of Rumspringas on the veranda.
"When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
All the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
So darling, darling
Stand by me, oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me
Oh stand by me, oh won't you stand now, stand
Stand by me"
I wonder how many of these patriotic Americans would be signing a petition if their son had sexually abused his sisters.
and people humping and kissing cars.
-----

Please, Chef. It was much more than just a humpin' and a kissin.' That guy was madly in love with his car. It was a marriage between two consenting adults, consummated after they were pronounced "man and car." Let no man put asunder. Amen.
Good grief, TLC needs to find some other format--reality TV is turning out to be far too real these days. TLC is a televised circus sideshow. Do we really need to see another family with a bazillion kids? Yet another family of "little people"? More morbidly obese people? People having sex with their cars and eating toilet paper? Enough already! They call themselves The "Learning" Channel. What, exactly, do they think their viewers are learning?
It's hard to imagine TLC cutting ties with the Duggars. If the show still brings in high ratings, I think they will continue it. I don't think they would consider giving Kate a regular show to fill the air time. This new season of K+8 is going in the exact same direction as the last one. Straight downward. The first special (10th b-day) had almost 2.4 million viewers. Now, with the 8th installment (MD episode), the show has lost almost half its audience. Just like in 2010-2011, although I think the ratings have dropped even faster now than before. And there's still the issue of what is going to happen with Hannah, and what is going to come out in court. TLC is all about money. Low ratings don't bring in the money.
15 is old enough to be tried as an adult in Arkansas, so the "teenage mistake" spin goes right out the window. As disgusting as the whole situation is, I am really struggling with Anna's parents' reaction to Josh's dirty little secret. Who allows...encourages their young, naive daughter to marry an admitted pervert. Ugh.
And Kate needs to just shut it about being soooo tired. She gets more sleep - and always has - than any real mother of even one child, let alone eight.
And since today's shenanigans have flipped my bitch switch, AK = Alaska, AR = Arkansas.
I'm off to douse my anger with wine and chocolate. Maybe some ice cream, too.
What's TLC going to do if they have to get rid of this show? Typical damage control PR would be to cancel the show, that's just what you do. Any PR firm would tell them so.
This is their cornerstone! Oh well, don't put all your eggs in one basket.
It's awful if some minors were hurt but I'm laughing at TLC.
What's so sad is that these girls get it drilled into their heads that anything more than a side hug is a no-no.

What the heck is a side hug? It sounds like Chang and Eng.
This Duggar fiasco makes me sick. Michele made the robo-calls warning about transgender people who would molest children in public bathrooms. In reality, the molester was her OWN SON in their OWN HOUSE. How anyone can defend this is beyond all reason. One sheeple comment stated that this is something 14 year old boys do. WTF??!! Maybe with their girlfriends, but not their sisters. Also, the argument that this happened years ago and the victims forgave him is despicable. TLC better pull this show off the air immediately. The fact they have not already announced the show's cancellation sickens me. Those poor girls were stuck in that house of horrors with no one advocating for them. Shame on JimBob and Michele! They are vile people. This is one reason why I am distrustful of the fundie people.

Pass the puke bucket please.
Admin, this couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of child exploiters!
Canceling this show is a no-brainer.
You can't cancel HBB then not this show that has kept the fact the Josh assaulted his sisters, as young as 4, a secret.
The longer they wait, the more disgustingly greedy they look.
There seems to be something in common with these parents who sell their children on tv. They have little to no internal, God-given natural urge to protect their own children.
It's like a genetic defect. They are simply void.
Please, Chef. It was much more than just a humpin' and a kissin.' That guy was madly in love with his car.

Oh I know I was trying to be censored lol.
The Duggar stuff is outrageous. They always seemed so goody goody I wondered if there were skeletons in the closet. TLC is worse than I thought, and I already had a low opinion of them. You can commit a crime or associate with a criminal and get a show on TLC.
What the heck is a side hug? It sounds like Chang and Eng.

They have to turn their bodies to hug so there's no genital or boob contact.
That's what makes them such hypocrites and this so sad.

LOL.... As Hannah said, "Enjoy yourself!"
There's no way TLC can put a positive spin on keeping this show.
The Duggars show has been around for ages. There's nothing new to learn or see.
Lots of babies and Christian values.
Got it.
So, trying to say there's so much more to learn from or see is mute.
We already know way too much.
They had a great, amazing run. The Duggars and TLC have become unfathomably rich off this show.
TLC should be thankful for their fattened bank accounts and move on.
Anna and her parents need to be very careful. They'll take her kids in a heartbeat.
In California the seminal case is called Shaundale G., and there are many others. Basically, even if you never laid a hand on your biological kids sexually or otherwise, or even if it was just their father who was the molester, they can rip your kids away if they want to.
They'll make you do intensive therapy and sexual abuse awareness until you show you appreciate the danger the child molester poses to your bio kids.
You should move to L.A., Anna, and see how fast those kids are thrown in foster care.
Out of all the law enforcement officers who could have been involved in this case, the Duggars got one who was later convicted of possession of child porn. What are the odds?

Anna should be very concerned.
An apology and explanation that she she all along doesn't go very far with authorities.
Josh molesting his own sisters, as young as 4, is a huge red flag.
He's got a daughter about that age, and I think he and Anna need to be investigates, out of an abundance of caution.
Josh obviously had no problem crossing lines, barriers and taboos.
They have to turn their bodies to hug so there's no genital or boob contact.
That's what makes them such hypocrites and this so sad.
**************
What happens if you have big boobs and they still get in the way? No hug?
Tucker's Mom (#27), you answered your own question. These
families who lack that mothering/parenting chip are the ones
who are willing to sign their children's privacy away. If they
had that protective instinct to start with, there'd be no show,
and the point would be moot. Or, as Joey Tribbiani said on
"Friends," it would be "moo."
C'mon, TLC. Man up. New ownership can mean a clean slate.
Make a statement of zero tolerance for child abuse and kick all
these sorry fools off your schedule. And maybe you'll have a
chance to regain some respect as The Learning Channel.
I don't think TLC is considering cancelling the Duggars for even one minute. I think they are gleefully anticipating a ratings bonanza, Gosselin divorce style.
I'd like to know what the parents did to protect their daughters after Josh "confessed" to them what he had been doing. I mean these poor girls had to continue living under the same roof as the guy who molested them. I can't imagine what their lives have been like, looking after their mother's children and living with a predator.
bm
It sickens me that something as heinous as molesting little girls is
trivialized as a "teenage mistake." He didn't steal a car or rob a
liquor store. This is a physical and emotional violation which
can never be undone.
Certainly there are a few million dollars they'll be able to squeeze
out of this teenage mistake. Will Diane Sawyer get the interview?
Will there be a redemption public appearance tour? A book?
Sigh.
The statute of limitations doesn't even start counting until the victim turns 18. Jana is 25, Jill is 24, Jessa is 22, Jinger is 21, and Joy Anna is 17. If the SOL in this case is 3 years, Jinger's has just expired, but Joy's is still open! Charges should be brought by the state on Joy's behalf, since a minor or her parents can't simply refuse to press charges on a molestation charge.
This makes me so angry! No wonder all of the girls wanted to share one big room when they moved to the big house; safety in numbers. This also offers some insight into why Jana has no interest in "courtship" and is thinking of moving out and going to college. And wasn't Jana forced along with Josha and Anna as a nanny on their road trip? I also recall a Q&A session with the 4 older daughters and one (unmarried and not-yet-courting at the time) mentioned she had already kissed a boy, but it was only a brother.......wonder if she was alluding to Josh?
Kate Is A Twit, blog historian, was it an old video or a current one?
================
I'm pretty sure it's an old one, especially since the pap mentions the lawsuit and the caption mentions Kate's lawsuit "against" Jon.
I also took a look at the school picture that Kate posted on her blog in August 2013, and the kids in the video have the same backpacks as in the picture. Also, Aaden's glasses in the video look like his old ones, not the new ones he got last year.
For comparison, here is the August 2013 school picture:
http://www.kateplusmy8.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/firstdayschool.jpeg
Here's is the 2014 picture. Notice that the backpacks are different from the video, especially Leah's, Mady's and Cara's.
https://twitter.com/Kateplusmy8/status/505157326815625216/photo/1
So I would definitely say that that video was filmed in the fall of 2013, around the time of Kate's lawsuit against Jon.
I hear about Josh doing counseling but what about the victims did the parents get them counseling? Notice how their statement is all about Josh and protecting him and nothing about the victims. TLC must be scrambling right now. How can they NOT cancel???
I apologize for not taking this seriously the other day. I thought it was Jim Boob crying wolf over a peek at some girl's skirt. It's clear from looking at the police reports this was anything but, rather real sexual abuse and incest on the order that I've dealt with in family court and sometimes worse. Just goes to show you really need to see the actual reports from the case before knowing what to think. New post in a second....
Conflicting reports about whether victim number 5 is Joy Anna or family friend/neighbor. Even if only 4 victims were his sisters, Joy could still be one. Is the SOL really only 3 years for this crime? That doesn't give the victim a lot of time as an adult to come forward with the accusations. I'm used to a 7-year SOL on sex crimes, which usually expire on the victim's 25th birthday.
http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2015/05/21/duggar-sibling-sexually-assaulted-sisters-another-female-according-to-police-report/
If the fifth victim was not one of his sisters, who was it, and did she get therapy as well?
Interesting that Michelle contradicted JimBooby's statement that Josh went to a Christian program. Michelle said it was "not really a training center," but rather an acquaintance, and that he did manual labor. Huh? Did none of those involved get professional therapy, or did they just pray about it?
