The Duggars as a whole did nothing wrong, specifically the parents. JOSH DUGGAR did; and as far as the media is concerned, have you noticed that the only way they could "take" the parents down was through their son. Another thing-this was not molestion. And they are Christians, at least the parents. And also, what about the people who put Josh Duggars' SEALED record out there-why did they do that in the 1st place? Was it so the "victims" could have "justice"? Come on, hopefully people are brighter than that. By releasing that Sealed record, that caused so much heartache that used to be gone, so who did the media and people really hurt, who they claim they wanted to help? The "victims". Anyway the reason people who don't like the Duggars really wanted them off air was because they stood up for what the Bible teaches-the Bible and them are Against Abortions, Gay "marriage" which are two Very big deals right now-between church and country. Their influence made a bill that would pass for transgenders to use the same restroom as what their outward appearance looked like acceptable-be revoked. The bill did not pass with their help. Now if you have that kind of influence and people who are against you and what the Bible teaches-don't you think they would try to shut you up if they had the power to do so-hence Joshs' scandal when he was under 16yrs old that was supposed to be sealed. They couldn't get anything on anyone in that family, so they went for a sealed record. Impressive, yet sick. Because when you do the math, jill & jessa didn't have to reveal themselves-their identies were no longer secure anyway & another thing, just because you call yourself a Christian doesn't make you perfect in all things (doesn't mean you shouldn't strive though); Michelle & Jim Bob have Always said that they are not perfect-so who held them to that "perfect" standard? You? Josh was wrong for all the wrongdoing he did; but remember that all people get to a certain age when they know right from wrong-and to blame the parents when they get to that age, in his situation-that is not Michelle & Jim bobs fault. It is no one but Josh, not his parents & you need to relize that.AChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01555723616894033547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-25408786847321284742015-11-05T15:35:06.938-06:002015-11-05T15:35:06.938-06:00I agree a whole family cause of one sons actions w...I agree a whole family cause of one sons actions wat did the police do and also he has children living at home with him and his wife i cant wIt for the new version with jill and jess to start magshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07199957773745189708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-68417821238349499552015-11-04T15:31:11.304-06:002015-11-04T15:31:11.304-06:00This is not about persecution, it's about reco...This is not about persecution, it's about recognizing dangerous and harmful beliefs.

Just because they were stars on a reality show and have 19 children does not qualify them as keynote speakers at a secular educational conference in Canada. It also has nothing to do with punishment since being keynote speakers at any conference is not a right. The conference organizers took a business decision. <br /><br />The keynote speaker is, from reports I have read, an RCMP expert on child abuse. He is going to talk about what signs to watch for and the laws of reporting in Canada. This is practical and useful information for any parent. <br /><br />As another poster wrote, it would be much better for the family if they stepped out of the limelight and concentrate on healing, in private.

Perhaps with this cancellation they will realize many in the homeschool community are questioning their motivation instead of taking a season of time to really seek the Lord and let him restore and heal.

What is needed is to have open discussions about it. What has been done wrong, what has been done right, where the struggles are. But yeah, probably the Duggars aren't ready for that at this point.

What a shame that my country, known for its peacekeeping, is caving to the pressure to shut people out. How very un-Canadian. I am embarrassed.

I think after something as devastating as what their family has went through since May, it would be wise to take time to heal away from the spotlight. I love the Duggars and have had the pleasure of meeting them. They are wonderful people. But given everything that has happened they deserve to just relax and have a chance to heal and more forward.

But it seems to me that what people want and desire is not necessarily in the best interest of the Duggars. I, in no way am saying that the Duggars don't have anything beneficial to offer the Body of Christ or the homeschooling community. What I am saying is, maybe now is not the time. Maybe now is the time that we as a body encourage them to step back and focus inward and upward for a season. Maybe now is not the time for them to be reaching outward.
