Whoopi speaks out against the duggar family

[Nope]

The hypocrisy is them putting on a show of being morally upright when they were not, and in expecting forgiveness when they have been unforgiving of others.

This has been more or less stated in post 17.

Do you have examples of the hypocrisy or is it your assumption that they would behave this way because they are Christian (being unforgiving/'morally up right') is it your belief that being 'morally up right?' Means one is ammune to sin? So when a 'morally up right' person/family member sins what recourse should be taken that wasn't taken by the duggars?

I am curious. Why do you consider the Duggars to be Christian and not Mormons? The Duggars follow the teachings of a man named Bill Gothard.

I think that the writer of this blog is a Christian so you shouldn't be uncomfortable reading the article

He outlines a vertical chain of authority (God, father/husband directly under God, wife below, children lower still) and explains the consequences of getting out from under the umbrella of (patriarchal) authority. (Women have no authority, except what their husband delegates to them over the children.) He gives a long litany of stories of those who went against the wishes of their husbands/fathers and suffered terribly, contrasted with tales of those who submitted, against culture and common sense, and were rewarded beyond their dreams. Those who rebel and eventually return are gravely compared to cracked diamonds–only worth a fraction of the value they could have had if they had been submissive all along.

In a sense, all of his teachings come back to the idea that if you align yourself underneath the umbrella, perfectly submissive to all of Gothard’s principles, then you will be safe. If you dare to go out from under the umbrella by not conforming perfectly with a joyful countenance and light in your eyes, then any number of hailstorms will pound you to a bloody pulp.

This doesn't sound like the type of Christianity that you claim to believe. Bill Gothard, by the way, has also been accused of harassing women. Why aren't you as tough on the Duggars as you are on Mormons?
