Where are the christers ?  Seems like they should be posting their, "Because; JESUS!!" all over this topic.

Some have been. At first there was silence and outrage but I have been reading several comments lately that show support for Duggars. They often try to spin the abuse as occurring between consenting adolescents of a similar age;  instead of a 14 year old molesting his sleeping four year old sister.

For some who don't want to read it, here are some of the more disturbing parts. This is the type of therapy that Josh and his siblings would have received. 

Why did God Let this happen?
results of defrauding by:
immodest dress
indecent exposure
being out from the protection of our parents
being with evil friends

If abused was not at fault?


God compensated physical abuse with spiritual power.
What is being Mighty in the Spirit?
greater faith
spiritual discernment
genuine love
wisdom and understanding
creativity
energy, enthusiasm and joy
inner peace

If you had to choose
No physical abuse but mighty in the spirit
which would you choose?

Here is the training guide:



Here is a relevant quote from the article:

Quote:Cornish called Gothard's advice "horrific," noting that program's guidelines not only "question whether the abused was at fault," but also try to convince a victim that being abused was a good thing.

And, like Polar Bear, when I was a Christian, I was never that fucked up in my thinking.  (And you have to get really crazy to outdo a devout Southern Baptist, though I imagine some Southern Baptists are probably that crazy.)

It pissed me off that the media gives unwarranted publicity to the family of cattle that are the Duggers but it worked out well in the long run. Now they are exposed for what they are. And as a bonus, we get turds like Huckabee further destroying the credibility of right by supporting them.

It's all disgusting... including the fact that the article from HuffPo is in the "Entertainment" section. WTF??

It is in the Entertainment section because the Duggars had a TV show:

The sex abuse materials are from a religious parody site, aren't they ??



{sarcasm mode off}

I don't care; that's really fucked up. Why isn't it in the "Religion" section or the "Crime" section?

I've been losing respect for HuffPo for a long time, but I think this does it for me. More click bait if Americans see this article in the Entertainment section. Disgusting.

Quote:Dan Savage wants to make Duggar the new Santorum: ‘Clearly duggary needs to be a word’

Quote:“Should it mean sexual hypocrisy? Fundy hypocrisy? Child molestation?” Savage asked,

Religiously sanctioned child abuse.

Examples:

The little boy was duggared behind the altar.

The duggar abused the children in the church van.

Duggary needs to be reported to the church hierarchy, not the authorities.

Only the slutty little girls were duggarable, according to the pastor.
